    Next seasons squad

    Exactly this. Who was really given the chance to fail fast or succeed from our younger group? I've lost count of the amount of times I've seen imbalanced 20 man squads because our managers pick the 25-30 year olds to make up the numbers rather than the actual position that balances the squad...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Such a classy man. Of course, he could just go and sell his soul to Neville and Carragher for a few quid, and throw around some stupid narratives like the other guy did.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Indeed, interesting times. Venables was endeared by the fans, and then lost out in the biggest way in the legal battles. Sugar was inevitably just protecting our football club in the actions he took in my opinion. It always saddens me when these great coaches want to step into that other space...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Why would you associate that with Levy though? Levy also went all in on all those players names beginning with N. Where was his football DNA then?

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Come on, ENIC bought this club for less than £50m and in 2016 it had an enterprise valuation of over a billion. That is 3 years before the stadium went live. What you say is complete revisionism to me. Every PL club's valuation went up because of the money flooding into football from the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Says who. Who did he block? Our recruitment team rarely get their first choices, our club has a terrible history of taking 3rd or 4th choices and them being bad buys. Mostly late in the summer as well. When did Levy ever intervene on these? Levy's squad strategy and management working with...

    Jan Paul van Hecke

    I'd sort of stepped back for a few days and even checked the official website yesterday to see if anything had happened. Tonight, it finally lands. Do we finally have a manager who is going to build a great team from the back? I always thought Pep had a great defence and then he went and bought...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I think people miss the point with Levy. He actually was and still is a significant financial stakeholder in THFC. He has ridden the football money chain brilliantly and turned his personal wealth from <£50m to becoming a personal billionaire, or very close to. That has been created from Sky TV...

    Sandro Tonali

    Well we're perhaps forgetting that free transfers Senesi and Robbo are themselves a trade-off. We are not used to spending our budget on 3 elite signings and 2 free transfers, also balanced by significant player sales. We've only really sold Kane for decent money recently. For the rest of the...

    New back four then Romero, van Hecke, Senesi, VDV

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    The funniest part is that Jordan could never imagine anyone questioning his own skills as a chairman. He talks as if he was the best chairman ever even though he has to now spend his days working on the periphery of the game on a radio station. Also, what people forget is the real definition...

    Sandro Tonali

    I agree. That is where RDZ needs to build his stock. He would surely know that if he spent mega bucks on a player in one position then there would be trade-offs in others. I genuinely hope he is the manager that brings quality, not quantity to Spurs.

    Sandro Tonali

    Not sure where I stand on Tonali. He's a fantastic age and we'd be stupid to think he wouldn't add value at our club on the pitch. It would also weaken the Geordies as a realistic competitor of ours. The challenge is that he is contracted until 2029 and they have the upper hand in negotiation...

    Richarlison

    I think the difference is that Richi probably won't get any better than what we've seen this last season. An injury free Solanke can be unlocked and be a massive enabler to RDZ's tactics. I'm left scratching my head on Dom. He finished this season so much worse than we saw under Ange. It's not...

    Pedro Porro

    When Spence is in a good position he can defend well. He's often not in a very good starting position and can be way too casual getting back and getting behind the ball. He's actually not a better defender than Pedro but has the potential to be if he focuses a lot harder. Spence also needs to...

    Next seasons squad

    I still think people forget the tough experiences that this group have gone through in these last couple of years. We won't struggle for leadership after they have come out the other side. RDZ will make sure that happens, just like Poch did.

    Luka Vuskovic

    I think we have to appreciate the massive impact of the B teams in the Spanish setup and the way they've organised their football pyramid. It is way smarter than our own. 2 of the players you mention came through that route and briefly played for Barca B in the Segunda B. That is 90 teams in 5...

    J P van Hecke

    If he had 3-4 years left on his contract I assume we would pay the £50m. Probably more. It's always an interesting dilemma this one. We did the same with Kane, but obviously the other way round. Personally, if RDZ wants that player then we should pay it. He would obviously need to accept that...

    Free transfers

    For me, the club has spent too much attention on "squad" building and not enough attention on "1st team building" in the seniors age bracket. More recently, I think their spending in the younger category will breed 1st teamers if there is some patience applied. It's not been so bad, even if...

    Marcos Senesi

    No doubt the American customs will label him as an illegal alien coming from South America and put him straight back on a flight to THFC.
