Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

[Mrs Vert]

I hope with some new signings. BJ managing to put more of his chances away. And everyone whose form has fallen off the cliff come back strong. Looking forward to seeing Lucas. And hope we have a season where our injury list doesn't take a battering.

And we Play quicker

Last season was a very low bar but good to see progress May to May all the same

 

[glorygloryeze]

I hope we can build up the number of clean sheets. I have high hopes hat Dragusin will add to our physicality and resistance to being targeted from set-pieces. I do wonder if he's getting more chances in the first team now because we plan to play him in the RCB position if/when Romero goes to the Olympics...

 

[parklane1]

The guy has took us back into Europe and HAS improved us from the shambles of the last season or two, it is going to take time and we/he have made a good start.

Ignoring the details....and looking at it objectively, we are back where we'd be expected to finish given our resources.

And Ange has brought us back here in just 41 games. That's very good imo.

 

[Lilbaz]

Judged on the season as a whole. Did very well. I'd give him next season.

Yep, no season of 7th/8th/conference on correction. Need to build from here

It’s something that most fans would have bitten your hand for for on the first day of the season

Which maybe we couldn’t afford at the time
We did break our transfer record and spend a fortune for Poch in his last year here

Too late. The squad had already stagnated.

I don't really buy the argument about the stadium impeding our ability to spend because in that case you sell to buy but we didn't do that either.

We could have just as an example sold Eriksen for £60m-80m and bought a young Madison for £20m plus maybe Tielmans and some others to bolster and reinvigorate the squad at the time.

That of course may have been an option
We don’t really know who an offer was made for

We’d have been rioting had we swapped Eriksen for Maddison back then.

I remember suggesting it at the time

You might have been but I've always advocated for smart use of the market. The fans who complained would have gotten over it rather quickly when the performances and results were sustained. For the most part Spurs fans are eager to herald any player we sign as great.

The best clubs are those that know how and when to to release funds from an asset and when to reinvigorate their squads. I say it all the time but none of the clubs that actually win things just settle with the same players every season. They make additions and sometimes sell players that at the time it seems odd but time proves them right. That's strong club leadership and innovative use of the market. There is no reason why we can not also work that way.

 

[Legohamster]

Mopo being available is going to make his job tougher next season, already seen comments about him coming back.

Yes, but 6 years ago Eriksen was one of the best players in the world and Maddison was some oik in the championship.

Pochettino will probably be in a new job way before Ange is in any kind of real trouble.

I also don't think Ange will be in any kind of trouble next season. Maybe the next time Poch is fired from wherever he goes next.

FFS can we move on please.

 

[Bishop]

6 years ago you needed vision to see what Maddison could have added to the squad along with other players and that's my point. Don't be stuck on looking at just name brand players or even the ones we ready have, there are always new players on the horizon, the current kings don't last forever. You need to be constantly reinvigorating a squad to either keep ahead or catch up.
