    Davinson Sanchez

    Might have been on Sanchez's part - waiting to see if a better club came in for him. I do think this makes a January move for that chap at Gala we were looking at (Victor Nelson, I think?) A little more likely.

    Davinson Sanchez

    I have crapped on him being a bombscare for a long time, but today isn't the day for that. Thanks for the years you were genuinely good, Dav. And for fronting up despite being a disappointment - took courage. Good luck in Turkey.

    Hugo Lloris

    True, but with Hugo he's already turned down a lot of offers where he isn't first choice, as I understand it. And the problem is, few top clubs would make him their No.1 after the decline he's experienced since 2021, while those that would (thinking Champo /Ligue 2 / Segunda Division level...

    Hugo Lloris

    Postecoglou specifically ruled it out, though. Said it made no sense to have two non-HG keepers, and for what it's worth, I agree with him. Backup keepers are essentially 'free hits' from a HG/CG perspective, since they will rarely play but are necessary in the squad. So good squad management...

    Eric Dier

    They are utterly useless, and they are obligated to be paid as per their contract. Two things can be true at the same time. And banishing them to the U21s and locking them out of first-team training and games does not violate their contract in any way. If they want to stick to the letter of...

    Eric Dier

    Well, they only started buying them last year, so give them time on that. In general they do a magnificent job selling players though - I think they are the club that has made by far the most through selling unwanted players these last ten years.

    Eric Dier

    We do not have it, since all our best players generally want to leave anyway - thanks to our uncompetitive ownership model and crippling lack of success. The ones who want to stay are generally the malingering wastes of space who know their only way is down. Retaining those employees is a net...

    Eric Dier

    Careers affected - depends. If he goes to the U21s and gets benched even there (certainly possible given how atrocious he is), the only career he'd be affecting is the CB whose spot he takes on the bench. If he plays, same thing - he'd only take the spot of whichever CB would be playing instead...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham FC ***

    Like I said mate, didn't watch it - have no intention of giving Talkbrick ad money or views. I'm just guessing at what his message is - I do not agree with his delivery of it, if it was as you and @DeanoAustin are saying it was.

    Eric Dier

    They're much, much, much better than us at selling their deadwood, though. So I don't think they'll have a problem mate. Or just loan them out year after year, also an option - beyond the amortization of the initial purchase cost, as long as a club picks up the full wage it's zero expense to...

    Eric Dier

    Because my understanding is that if we just tell him not to show up to training at all, he can sue us for not providing him a platform to train and/or play as per the terms of any football contract. Which is why clubs banish players to the U21s instead - technically they are still providing...

    Gotta start somewhere mate, but agreed we are a mess.

    Eric Dier

    If we release him next week, we have rewarded him for making life difficult for us. This sets a precedent for all players that there are no consequences for that. That cannot be allowed to happen. It is within his prerogative to do what he is doing - a contract is a contract. Equally, it is...

    I don't watch or listen to Talkbrick on principle, but if he/she is talking about ENIC being the rot at the club for 23 years now, they have my support. Our tribe is growing, mate. ;)

    Nope. Lost 2-0 to Mourinho's Chelsea, iirc.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham FC ***

    Levy told Ange to prioritize the league game. Incredibly, @DeanoAustin agrees with me on this. ;) Sure, but how much does it end up being a self-reinforcing circle though? We abandon every cup to get into the top four, we sometimes get into the top four, and then we abandon every cup to stay...

    This is true. Hojbjerg was nowhere to be seen for the pens, which is surprising. At least Sanchez had the guts to take one.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Hopefully he'll have learned a bit from that - he made wholesale changes and he blew it. Poch got us to the CC final in his first season, which made you believe that he had something special. Ange is 0 for 1 on that. Better performance in the FA Cup is sorely needed, so hopefully he can learn...
