    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    Bournemouth essentially shutting down our right hand side by more or less man marking Romero and Porro in buildup and letting us attack down the left and there most things break down. Need to either get Odobert in on the left, more creativity into midfield (Bergvall) or both. Or move Kudus into...

    Squad

    Perhaps we agree more than my post gave the impression of. I agree missing Palhinha, it would bring us back to Bentancur and Gray, same as last season. Wasn't great. Somewhat similar with regards to Kudus unless we bring in another quality wide forward. But we don't have a real lack of...

    Squad

    Was worried about how we would look without Kudus, hopefully Simons will do enough for that not to be a big issue. Another quality attacker would perhaps be more the icing on the cake than a real shift in terms of balance. Arguably missing a deep playmaker type, and some concerns about how we...

    Transfer thread

    I think as likely is that they've signed more players and don't need him as much any more. Khusanov, Ait-Nouri as well as Lewis developing. He was essentially a squad player at City that got a lot of game time, but now they've replaced him in the squad and are happy to let him know. The decline...

    Think we're finally at the point in "the rebuild" where we no longer have to fill a squad, but can focus on quality over quantity. Also have gotten a lot of very talented young players in (key to our strategy imo) and again can focus on individuals, quality, a bit more here and now. To me the...

    Squad

    Starting to look good for several good options for various positions. As important also starting to look good for complimentary skill sets and more balance within the squad. Last season being without Maddison and Kulusevski would have been a real problem, now looking more like that could be...

    Xavi Simons

    Think he may be frustrating for us at times because of that. Particularly as he'll be adjusting to the team and PL in the start. "Just play the simple pass" comments may be incoming. But I'd rather have that with the hope of him developing and perhaps over time improving his decision making (if...

    Xavi Simons

    Still seen takes that this was a lucky outcome and on the club's side we got away with it despite poor planning and execution. And hey, that could be the case. But how could we know?

    Xavi Simons

    Bit like Kudus and Palhinha. Had they had a stormer of a season we probably wouldn't have been able to sign them. Identifying those players who are really good, but for whatever reason not playing to their full potential smis probably important to us for where we are.

    Savinho

    I think it's more about the club and timing than just the league with most players. No doubts Forlan could have been a hit in the PL for the right club at the right time. Several players have "struggled in the PL" in one club to go on to thrive elsewhere in the PL. I don't know that much about...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Agreed. In part also because we've already seen Kudus and Palhinha have really strong starts. But as you say our competitors have also had strong windows so let's see how it plays out.

    American politics

    All the "I need my guns to defend my freedom" people essentially cheering it on... Cheering on the kidnapping of civilians in the streets by masked government thugs. Cheering on sending people to horrible foreign prisons with no due process. "First they came for the communists and I did not...

    Transfer thread

    The power of Simons... Steff going from somewhat down on Levy to (unconscious?) sexual innuendos about the man in the span of one signing. The Premier League isn't ready for this.

    Yet to be convinced on the value of dialectics 😉

    Savinho

    Definitely wouldn't rule it out. But if we're serious about spending that kind of money on another quality attacking player we should ideally be looking at multiple targets. Other than Lookman I'm not sure who those other targets should be though...
