    To be fair, it is a very critical time tactically for RDZ and his players after the early pre-season conditioning work is done. We do need to get off to a fast start in RDZ's new setup and any points lost in the first 5-6 games are massive at the end of the season.

    Aston Villa

    Interesting news today about Villa. UEFA have dealt them a big fine and restricted their UEFA squad new registrations. With the age of that squad, I'm wondering whether this little dent in their plans might work in our favour.

    Mateus Ferdnandes

    I look forward to this news about Fernandes becoming official. It's been bugging me that this thread title has his surname spelt wrong. Perhaps on the official player thread we can spell it correctly. It's like not knowing the difference between Belgium and Holland...

    Interesting positioning of Gallagher. I still don't know where he is best utilised. What RDZ did with him at the end of the season playing further forward was pretty effective. I guess he is classed as a double pivot midfielder but do wonder whether RDZ sees him as having good enough ability on...

    Just a marketing / comms tactic. Never give your customers 2 of your feel good stories in a single day and then nothing for a week. Space them out to create the buzz.

    Lucas Bergvall

    Danso was bought for £21m and has been amortised for 18 months. So slightly less would still break even. I assume what you're saying is not about the player himself but about the bigger transfer equation of the club. We have to derive player profit from somewhere to balance things right? That...

    I very much doubt Spurs would have dropped the Kinsky new contract story if there was a story as big as Tonali joining. It wouldn't be fair to the young keeper.

    Antonin Kinsky

    The right decision by the manager and the club. Hugo set a really high bar for most of his Spurs career. At the end of it we needed someone to come in and get us back to that level again. Vic showed early promised but didn't seem to pull his entire game together. Vic has some amazing...

    There is a big part of me that doesn't want them back immediately. We have lads like Vuskovic, Takai, Phillips, Byfield, Dorrington all trying to impress RDZ. If our manager has his senior players, he will just focus on them. I say give the Dutch guys a proper rest and let's have a look at the...

    I always think of that "10, 11, 12 players good enough to stay beyond the summer" comment from RDZ. That was based on who he had worked with at the time. Now there's 5 of that list he gets to work with and assess for the first time, along with some talented younger players. With the new signings...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    I think "3rd / 4th choice" has very different definitions for centre halves and centre mids. You play a centre half to start and finish a game. You head into that same game knowing you have 100 mins to keep your midfield fresh and you inevitably have to use your 3rd / 4th choices almost every...

    Lucas Bergvall

    Didn't he only sign until 2028 though? I thought it was more about removing clauses and getting pay rises than length of contract. Saying that, in today's world you pay full whack for 2 years left anyway.

    Here's what I think is the sacrificial list Vicario Dragusin Vuskovic Phillips Romero Sarr Devine Solomon Richi Scarlett Veliz (gone) My guess is Romero's deal is probably all buttoned up but not announced. I don't think we will struggle to find suitors for Vuskovic and Bergvall and those 3...

    From memory, I think George Weah was a Liberation. Can't be sure though.

    Ang on. I only got to 7 above. The striker would be 8. Are you including Davies perhaps?

    Will Lankshear

    I hear you and I always struggle with that permutation as it distills the quality of purchase when we try these massive overhauls. So 9 would be Dubravka, Senesi, JPVH, Robbo, Fernandes, Tonali, Savinho. I'm obviously missing your 8th one? I also think it is all about whether we can turn a...

    Personally, I think we complete the midfield and left wing business first. We then see how many fringe / younger players we can shift and that then defines whether the cashflow model allows us a late foray into the striker market. I think we won't see the Lankshear question answered until very...

    Andy Robertson

    For me, it's about 2 things. The first is about the drop off in quality between a first choice player and their deputy. I think a lot of us felt that even though you could argue that Spence is of a very decent level, when you place him as a left back we lost something down the left when...

    World Cup 2026: Mexico, USA and Canada

    I'm not sure I've seen a team as strong as France in any WC or Euros for a fair few years actually. I'd be shocked if they don't win this thing.
