    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Thing is, Palhinha is towards the end of his career and his minutes need managing more than most. There's probably been some data driven reasons why Palhinha has played the minutes he has. We've been operating with 2 very senior centre mids and 3 young centre mids. This is where having a 25...

    Frank Give him time or get rid?

    I also don't agree with the "Romero AND VDV" aren't suited to one system of the other. They are different defenders. I would rather VDV hones his defensive skills to Romero's levels. Romero is way more comfortable in a defence that isn't held on the half way line. I'm not saying he wants to be...

    Conor Gallagher

    Yep, his decision making in the moment is still very raw. That will improve, but it won't hurt to have Gallagher around to learn from.

    So in the 15th Jan last season we had the NLD. Team and subs: Kinsky; Porro, Dragusin, Gray, Spence; Sarr, Bissouma, Bergval; Kulu, Solanke, Son Subs: Austin, Hardy, Johnson, Lankshear, Olusesi, Madds, Moore, Reggie, Richi A year later, our squad in a few days time will be..... Vic, Kinsky...

    Conor Gallagher

    I've always wondered whether Gallagher can end up in the mould of a Jordan Henderson. I heard loads over the years that Hendo wasn't fit to lace the boots of prior Pool players. Then he captains the side to the CL and league titles and in my mind was the real England captain for many years...

    Yep - I'm not gutted at all that we seem to be missing out on Gallagher and Paqueta. I'd probably rather have Gallagher out of the two. Football intelligence, leadership and work rate is always handy in a squad. I don't see elite qualities though on the football side.

    Pacqueta

    Bents is inevitably going to be one of those players that will get appreciated more when he's not available. He's been putting in a big shift this season and a lot of his best data points wouldn't be the offensive stuff that the Spurs fans were looking at. Napoli now looking at Joao Gomes...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I just think that most great players transcend different tactical systems. Romero has played well in Conte's 3-4-3. He then transitioned into Ange's high back line / offside trap based defence and then finally into Frank's more orthodox approach. I've not really see him struggle but have made...

    25/26 Injury and illness thread

    I never recovered from the training video where I watched Sarr closely. He was completely broken and still training with the rest of the lads the day after a match. He was hobbling around and he was barely able to take up a jog. Then Ange and his coaches put them in some short sprints. Sarr just...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur Football Club vs AFC Bournemouth***

    I don't see it that way at all. I think we're just creating space for better players perhaps knowing that we didn't buy that well in the first place. You can easily see Spurs reducing to the 3 main centre halves plus Palhinha and Davies as the 4th and 5th this season. Then we go back to 5 next...

    I think I would have to ask the question whether Johnson was backup to Kudus at this stage anyway. Because he was a big signing, fans just assumed that he would come in as Kudus's injury replacement. Perhaps Frank would have preferred Bergval in that position anyway. It was Bergval that resumed...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    Yeah, I thought Abbott was recalled because of a quad injury. I doubt he is able to feature. I think my team would be ................Kinsky ......Danso, Dragusin, VDV Spence........Gray...........Davies .....Odobert....Xavi......Tel ................Scarlett I'm intrigued to know how Olusesi...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Does changing the 1st team manager really change the squad that much though? Personally, I think it is massively overstated. What changes the squad is buying badly in the first place regardless who the manager is. There is also a reason why this can now change and that is the financial model you...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Aston Villa FC ***

    So Bissouma has just got the second yellow in the AFCON quarter final. Mali are 1-0 down. Looks like Biss is on his way home.

    Mohammed Kudus

    I think you can even keep going and put Bergval, Sarr and Spence into the right role especially if you tweak into a 4-4-2. We're not that short of right sided options.

    Is it perhaps like the end of our season? Players just jump on planes and head away on holiday. It's only when they return do they start working on deals. It does feel like Souza could have been announced on the 1st Jan though. I just hope that we do have some major irons in the fire. It...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Which phase of the game we talking? There was sort of 4 or 5 different phases of that game. I saw a team that went 2-1 down and then went for it. Then when they got to 2-2 they were still going for the winner and were in the ascendency. Are you talking 2-2 where we should have gone mid block?

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    It would be interesting to see who are the next round of players to come back. I know it's Biss vs Sarr tomorrow at AFCON so one of them returns home. If it is Biss, I wonder whether Frank will use him. Aside from that, we'll be looking to strengthen Bergval after his recent injury. Davies...

    I thought Rico Lewis was sensational against us recently. He's out of contract in the summer and one of Frank's former leaders. I do agree with your general point though. You should never stop speculating on these young players and building that pipeline for the future. It should almost be...

    Here's a question. If we just doubled down on Wharton this window, could we get him? What would Parrish do with an £80m offer?
