    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I'm not with you on the messages to media piece being meaningless. A footballer manager represents the brand of a football club and is the main communication vehicle for their employers. How they carry themselves and the things also represents their own personal brand. How they answer questions...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What gets me is the narratives. An entire campaign for Ange that he should get minimally 2 years and then a further campaign that he deserved the 3rd because of the trophy. Then Frank joins and the equivalent narrative becomes that he should get this season. Some are sneaking up to 18 months but...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think we have a mildly stronger squad than after the Jan window last year as we came out of the injury crisis. It would clearly be stronger with Kulu and Solanke in it as they are established first teamers. Madds is anoth big loss. We shouldn't dismiss the impact Bissouma had in our winning a...

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

    lol - I was only publishing the common fan narratives I've read about these players. I don't really know anything about them. As for Dorrington, what's strange is that I don't remember him moved up into midfield but I do remember Abbott serving in the 21's as a centre half. Dorrington always...

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

    Yeah, I do find the centre half thing intriguing outside of the main 3. Obviously, Vuskovic has already made it at 18 even though he's never kicked a ball in England. Clearly, Dragusin is dead man walking and his agent will get his world class player out of here anyway. Takai is here just to...

    Putin & Russia

    I just have a feeling that would just lead to decades of "guerilla" warfare where the local Ukrainians just continue the big fight.

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

    lol - nothing wrong with a bit of idealism I guess. I'm just hoping we can get to some pragmatism and realise this quantity over quality model is our downfall and has been for a very long time. What you also did was a very rare thing from Spurs fans. You actually talked about departures with...

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

    I'm not aligned with this thought process. So we buy 3 in January and probably another 5 or 6 in the summer and probably end up with deadwood departure lounge 25-32 year olds out on loan again for one or two seasons as we can't find buyers. It all sounds familiar. That is, unless you're implying...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    You need it on the training ground. If it is not there, then you won't see it on match day. I'd love to know how much one-touch / two-touch football they do in training in central areas. Does Frank and his coaches stop the sessions and remind them to play the long balls and the channels if the...

    200+ Nigerian schoolgirls kindapped - culprits selling them £7 each

    It's sickening to see what goes on around the world in these extreme cases.

    Super player. Have no clue why Saudi Sportswashing Machine let him head to Forest. With Anderson, Rogers, Bellingham, Rice, Wharton, Foden, Mainoo, O'Reilly etc there's some real depth in the English contingent nowadays. Makes me wonder where Joao Gomes compares to these English guys.

    We must have some buying signals from somewhere would be my guess. Would Wharton be the one we will be all in for?

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    What I would say though is that you could see the flaws easier. As an example in the 4-3-3 Ange had his 3 midfielders on the high press splitting left, right and centre. They would all end up in advanced areas and all be behind the ball as we were chasing back. You could see the full-backs...

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

    I think you nailed it. I guess you have to trust the process. Perhaps we see some intent from other camps like Wharton, Andersen, Rogers, MGW etc and are hedging our bets based on our budget. If Gomes is in that list then we get to find out eventually and see where he moves. Obviously, when...

    He also had them in a period where they could carry 2-3 seasons of high intensity and then he burnt them out. Not blaming him, but he had no squad depth but wanted high press, high intensity football. Poch operated with 15 / 16 players max. Eriksen was world class in the early days. The Eriksen...

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

    Yeah, could be that. Arsenal bought Frank's old mainstay from Brentford and Zubimendi. They actually bought 2 of Gomes's stamp. Liverpool bought Wirtz for their midfield. Slightly more attacking I guess. Pep bought Reijnders and Cherki to bolster his midfield. Again, not quite the stamp of...

    ***OFFICIAL***SPURS***L'arse***OMT***

    Think we said it earlier. Poch had players in attacking areas that had extreme defensive smarts. When you have Eriksen, Dele and Kane in your line-up it makes it so much easier for the guys behind them to get forward. That was even with a defensive dumbass like Sonny along side them. I lost...

    Gomes confuses me. He has owned our midfield several times when we've played against them. However, he's not been snaffled up by a big club and wasn't even on anyone's radar this summer just gone. What do the big clubs see that we don't?

    You mean beating the Aussies at cricket, the Kiwi's at rugby and winning the NLD all within the same week. Even Meatloaf had 2 out of 3 :cool:

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I get it. Our collective nowadays is the following Solanke (inj) Richi Tel Johnson Muani Odobert Kudus Xavi Madds (inj) Kulu (inj) Scarlett When you add back the natural attacking intent of Bergval and Sarr, when does Frank get more optimisation from the group? We have 8-10 fit players for 4...
