    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    Definitely the way I think of it. I have a feeling that Lange does so much fantastic data-drive and operational work at the club. Doesn't seem the type to schmooze with other clubs, agents and players or sit around a negotiation table. Then again, I only think Levy got away with some of that...

    With a fully fit squad, what's your starting 11/formation?

    What's interesting is that we were genuinely in for Semenyo. It is therefore implied that we are still looking for a leftie attacker to go with your 4 names there. That brings into question whether we play the double pivot with a 10 or whether we play a 6 with two guys ahead. Could that be 2 out...

    I think this is where my heart has been broken a little with the most modern football. Managers could previously come along and disrupt other managers with tactical changes to stay ahead of the curve. The problem now is that the tactics aren't a product of the managers. They are a product of the...

    With a fully fit squad, what's your starting 11/formation?

    For me, Porro vs Spence is easy. It's Porro all day long until Spence gets the bit between his teeth and gets the passion and leadership that Porro has. Spence can actually win that battle but needs to earn it. The toughest call is how to pick 3 out of Kudus, Madds, Xavi and Kulu and whether...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    This is actually a very deep conversation. I never knocked Levy for backing his managers with budget. I did knock Levy with his football operational execution. I was also someone that knocked Levy for his financial phasing within his multi-year plan. Getting massive profits and giving big...

    You don't need a release clause when you have a gentleman's agreement !!!

    Transfer thread

    That's my point above. So are we going to try and plug every gap and sacrifice quality based on the budget constraint? My advice is STOP DOING THAT !!! So if we sign a new keeper, Palhinha, Wharton, a LWF and a number 9 then that's 5. Then someone will come along and say that Dragusin needs...

    Johan Lange - Sporting Director

    The interesting thing is that they did do something completely different in the next transfer window. We assessed the market place, acted like a big club that only operates with elite players and ultimately we sat on our wallet. When did that ever happen under a Levy regime apart from the...

    Transfer thread

    I was factoring in sales as well. I know as Spurs fans we forget that angle as, Harry aside, we've been so bad at it in these recent years. I think you rebuild your transfer kitty from player sales as you strengthen. You also have a great academy and the ones that don't make it still bring in a...

    Genuine question, but what exactly did they say pertaining to the January transfer window. I don't recall any specific statements that would leave them losing face based on the window we just saw in the marketplace. Am I missing something?

    So they are doing the old SM thing of recycling content. Makes sense.

    You can actually do this in numbers. There are over 100 injuries in the PL at the moment. When you look at the league table statistically, it goes down to about where we are for the teams that have UEFA qualification aspirations. It's probably about us again where we see clubs that might fear...

    I also saw the Cuti thing pop up on my Facebook. This was the message.... "Ange,thank you for these two incredible seasons. You’re a fantastic coach, but above all, a great person who deserves the best. From day one you paved the way despite the many obstacles that always existed and always...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah, the day we give up on the vision of attractive football would be a very sad day in my opinion. I guess this comes down to whether we believe (1) is true or not. It reads as black and white but there are clearly grey spaces in that statement. I didn't see Chelsea fans into the new...

    Exactly, this squad has players of the right age to grow together. Also, the potential behind them is exciting with all those young pups. I find it hard to be pessimistic about our squad. It just needs some great recruitment alongside.

    Cristian Romero

    I assume you've tracked Phillips fledgling career? He's the grand old age of 20 and has played 25 times this season. He's already at 100 senior appearances in his career before his 21st b'day. That's not bad considering the position he plays isn't normally populated with U21s. He's averaging a...

    I really like this post. When you break it down, we have a core of players that this or the next manager would just enjoy having. I think it is as many as 15 or 16. Then you have the 4 or 5 other youngsters, not including Gray or Bergval as they're already in the former. Then you go to work on...

    Selling Johnson could actually give his captain confidence that we can see the wood from the trees as a club. Romero surely wants to be playing with elite players at Spurs. I'm sure he was as objective as all of us about the move. Tougher for Romero though, as Brennan was a friend in the same...
