I’d love us to have a world class 6, but think Palhinha was probably the very best we could do this summer.

No. I'm realistic and like to think big. Have to have big aspirations otherwise will constantly accept pain and mediocrity.You’re like the child with unrealistic expectations at Christmas, but I admire your optimism and consistency!
This.
I rate Frank but he really worried me today picking them again.
They are fine if you don’t want to play with the ball but teams are just going to kick long and press them everytime they play together.
That can’t be our double pivot for the season. I’d prefer to have Bissouma in there with one of them
Grew up watching hoddle, ardiles, waddle, gascoigne. Winning trophies. Beautiful football. That's the standard imo.
You do know you’re a Spurs supporter don’t you?!
Me too! Those were the days under the General!
Understood,but we also need another striker.
There aren't a load of class ones. I just think it's horses for courses away at City fine but we need a player could get it down beat the press and play forward quickly today. Sadly the good ones are like hens teeth.
Elite ones are rare, but finding better than Bentancur and Palhinha isn’t.
No, not really.
I’d have been happy with Grealish, especially as a loan. Holds the ball up very well, brings his team into the game. Works really hard defensively too.
We can’t have a front three with our current left wingers. It’s killing us. I’d sooner see us switch to a back three and let Spence / Porro push forward. They do anyway.
Makes midfield harder, but we’re getting torn to shreds there anyway.
He's yet to experience Richie when he starts to breakdown.
And I got a sense this solanke injury is gonna be an issue this season.
Dicey.
It’s basically Rodri and Vitinha.
Proverbial rocking horse shit.
The only positive from today is that we see there is still work to do in the transfer window
People were poo-pooing Grealish.
Missed the boat there and his best mate Gabby Agbonlahor was begging us to buy him, which meant Grealish wanted it too.

Nah that’s an excuse.
I don’t even know who played 6 for Bournemouth today and they were able to win the ball and move it forwards.
Palinha didn’t even do a good job of winning the ball today, he got absolutely roasted by Alex Scott and missed a bunch of tackles
5x the "potential."
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
Unsurprisingly.
Bergvall is better than Sarr as a 10
He’s better than Bentancur and Palinha as an 8 as well
Neither is a 10.
We’ve got to get away from ‘bit and pieces’ players.
That's coming from someone who criticised Kane when he was coming up and didn't think he was good enough, initially.

He still had bags more potential than Tel.
Tel has offered near zero.
Another weird cult established.
Imagine simping for Tel and calling ME a clown. haha
wtf is even going on.
