    I think Richy naturally wants to be in a position to show for the ball rather than be next to his marker. You've seen him live a lot. I haven't. On the couple of occasions I have watched him live, I noticed how he was constantly speculating to receive a pass. He just keeps constantly moving to...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think the Palhinha signing has been the most intriguing when it comes to tactics. We bought a specialist holding midfielder surely knowing that he offers less to his game in an attacking game. So when you're at BM, Palhinha is extremely useful as you bring him off the bench and you close games...

    It will be interesting to see how Kudus and Odobert adapt into that narrower space and give Pal / Bents some physical support in the midfield battle.

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Yeah, agree with that. I do have a couple of 60 year old Sikh golf mates born in Ealing and Bedford. They do constantly remind me that they support India in the cricket even though they are English when it suits them :)

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Yeah, I guess I was trying to come at it from the original point about why black people have swayed towards Arsenal. I still think if a player had origins from a tribe or town then it is quite natural that a player with heritage there would get a following. Of course, there are thousands of...

    I do find the Nigerian thing interesting. They have 200m people in their country and something like 15m diaspora across the world. They have generations that have naturalised into other countries. The entire country originates from 3 basic tribes. I know Saka hails from the Yoruba tribe. Solanke...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    I'm expecting Pickford's name to appear at some point. 81 caps for England and only 31. He's definitely ironed out some cracks in his game over the years and performs at a very consistently high level. It's all pointless to me though as Vic is himself in that same cycle of improvement. You can...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Even with a new contract he's only on £100k max per week. So much scope to make him an attractive offer. We may not win the race but we surely need to be in it. When I look around the Prem I see players like Semenyo, Rogers, Andersen, Wharton etc who are part of good clubs but not the biggest...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    With Spence, you have to ask yourself whether he is even a full-back. He might be a player who needs to take a little step back to make a big step forward and optimise those abilities he has. That close control and comfort on the ball in tight spaces does get me thinking whether he needs to...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Yeah, remember that. He was the choice before we switched interest to Dorgu following his injury. Would we now go back in for him as he's through that injury period?

    Lucas Bergvall

    My guess is that there is a concussion protocol where he had to wait until Day X to do the intense training. That was whilst on international duty so club and country agreed the plan. Obviously, if there had been on problems he would have been fit to play for his country. I have no problem with...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Love your analysis across the years. It's intriguing. One thing I would say is that if you have a specialist LB, Ben Davies, in your squad and play a back four then you have to be measured that way. Only Conte can really call Davies a LCB as he played a back 3. Ange and to a certain extent...

    Richarlison

    In some ways, it's why I've enjoyed these last 2-3 seasons in a perverse sort of way. Before that, Kane visibly quit on everyone. Yes, he got the stats that matter but he wasn't putting in a shift for anyone (club and country). He wouldn't show for the ball and he wouldn't do number 9 things...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'm with Steff on this. For me, we had a great partnership and I would cite the 2016/17 as the best we ever saw it. It would have been OK to persist with it for a season or two longer but you simply can't keep 2 old guys together forever. You have to sacrifice one and find a younger partner for...

    World Cup 2026 - Qualifiers

    I always think perceptions are harder when you develop and start earlier. Troy is only 23 now. If he had appeared as a 19 or 20 year old then everything would be feeling about right with his career. He was visible when he was 16. Ditto with Dane. Ditto with Moore. People just want to jump into...

    Richarlison

    I think we have to remember that we all exist on a football forum. In reality, we only exist to each other so anything we write positively or negatively about Richi mostly stays here. I say "mostly" because I'm certain those despicable members of the British press might do a bit of trawling on...

    Richarlison

    My biggest ask of Richi right now is staying fit. When I think back to most of his tenure as a Spurs player there has always been massive question marks about his ability to be fit for selection. Right now we need the Richi we've seen this season. The one that seems a little more robust and able...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    When I read these fantastic exchanges about how to improve the squad, that voice in my head keeps saying "quality over quantity". The other voice keeps saying "start doing a better job of shifting players". We've had this conversation before but we're now into that cycle where we can actually...
