    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Finished the season as a RCB in a 3 from memory. We were lethal in that system in the last 5 or 6 games. Hugely underrated player in my opinion.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    lol - the question becomes whether this would have been the best defence under Frank Romero, Toby, VDV, Jan

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Probably not. The Poch squad was never deep enough and we're in a CL season. The first eleven would be the best in this current league though.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Porro over Trips all day long. For me, not over Walker who was part of the 16/17 season. The merged squad would be scary though. Hugo, Vic, Kinsky Walker, Porro Rose, Udogie Romero, VDV, Toby, Jan Dembele, Wanyama, Dier, Gray, Bergval Eriksen, Dele, Madds, Kulu, Kudus, Xavi, Lamela Kane...

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

    However, when you think about it more the core of Ange's team has become the core of Frank's team. I think as long as you buy well these players can morph into the next manager's philosophy. I have a feeling the opposite applies as well. The ones that Frank will want to offload will be the same...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It feels to me that Frank in season 1 is unfairly being benchmarked to Ange in season 2. What we need to remember is that in the middle of season 1 there was hardly an Ange detractor. Guys like me were still building data that eventually became a mid season decision point that he wasn't up to...

    Cristian Romero

    Probably, but if it was deemed as a kick in the chest then why isn't it deemed as violent conduct? That was my only point. It was perhaps one that should have been referred to a VAR review to clear it up either way.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Haven't read on yet so perhaps others answered this well. For me, it's quite simple. We have a stacked squad with 2 players per position. That includes LB where Davies takes the second slot. We cannot afford to bring new players in unless we sacrifice 1st teamers in the same process. That...

    Xavi Simons

    What you talk about in your first paragraph is why Howard Webb wasn't the right replacement for Mike O'Riley who was absolutely useless. As a referee we all saw that Webb would happily ignore the laws, even when he saw it clearly. Just ask any Spanish fan in 2010. That has now permeated into his...

    Xavi Simons

    I think you have to look at the laws. I'm no expert but I have never read that it matters what part of the pitch we're in. It also doesn't matter which minute of the game we're in. Most decisions that the refs get wrong are the ones not given. Easiest example is when the entire world knows it's...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    My bad. Been crazily business and not seen all these links. I mean that some exits are just expected. Davies as an example is end of contract. Richi will only have a year left and we're not providing him a new contract. So I don't see any surprises about him leaving. Others though are more...

    Xavi Simons

    I think my challenge has always been that VAR has been setup in a way that 80% of decisions are subjective. The "clear and obvious" determination nonsense is the best example of that. In reality at least 80% of decisions are not subjective, but only if your official is only using the laws of the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Why do you think Johnson is leaving in Jan? Personally, I'd love to see some brave exits by the club. Vic, Bents, Dragu, BJ, Odobert are clear candidates above the obvious Davies, Richi and Palhinha. I often wonder whether Frank benchmarks Vic against David Raya. The latter was clearly a top...

    Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

    All I can think is that a couple of years ago we wouldn't have been talking about those other players in the PL like we do now. That means there exists another pipeline of players coming through. Perhaps having a fantastic data model approach under Lange could help us become incrementally better...

    Xavi Simons

    But you'd never want any honest football stakeholder anywhere to accept it. I would happily sit down with any pundit or official and call them out on their BS. At Sky, it is off the scale at this point. It reminds me of Trump and Putin in the way they make out that something that is absolutely...

    Cristian Romero

    That's interesting. So you're allowed to kick someone in the chest and it is only be deemed as a second yellow, not violent conduct. We do live in a crazy world with modern officiating. I've always been for retrospective action from the FA on these players. Just because you get away with...

    Fabio Paratici - Also Sporting Director

    I think you're right about players not choosing Spurs. I think we're over complicating things though. We have a stacked squad at this stage and there should only really be very few transfers at this stage of the evolution. Apart from speculating on some U21's, they should all be major signings...

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

    I'm now thinking it's important to find both Palhinha and Bents replacements in the next 2 windows. Obviously, neither will go anywhere until the summer but it would be great to get one of them into the club in January. That is obviously assuming Devine, Hall or Abbott won't be a mainstay in...

    Cristian Romero

    Yeah, a real chance for Danso to get a run of games. Dragusin and Takai get ever closer to the action as well. What would be interesting to see is in the event of an injury whilst Romero is suspended, whether Palhinha drops back in or whether Dragu, Takai or even Davies get the nod.

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

    You talking about Ruben Neves? Gomes has played all season for Wolves.
