    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Love the guy, but he was on the decline in a very tough PL. When I think about it more, our biggest strength should be the collective of attackers keeping the intensity going for 95 mins in every match. That was what was missing with Ange because he lost Odobert and Richi early season and then...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I don't quite see the Sonny thing as a comparative to last season. His super powers had waned that much and most of the season he was highly ineffective. The other 3 spot on though. Getting Dom and Deki back will be like 2 new signings. Nothing we can do about Madds. We may never see that same...

    lol - I just wrote on the other thread that the most entertaining match I've watched all season was Eng vs Kiwis at Twickers last weekend

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I guess I would have to ask that same question about all of the top clubs in England. Where is the Emirates Marketing Project style that won the league 5-7 years ago? Where is Arteta's stylish football of 3-5 years ago? I think we might be doubly suffering as Spurs fans because our own philosophy has changed in...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I thought we had hired Andy Scoulding to be the bridge between our loan players and the club, working with Lange and our first team manager to get the whole model working. Isn't it like the role Frank had a few years ago. I agree with you. Something is not working. Apart from a missing left...

    Wasn't he operating as a 10 in those games ahead of 2 centre mids?

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Exactly. Our benchmark partnership in the last 20 years has been the brief Wanyama / Dembele partnership. On paper, it was quite simple. Wanyama was the destroying, holding midfielder and Dembele was the classy, ball player that could progress the ball through the thirds. In reality it was...

    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...

    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...

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

    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...
