    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    But who cares? If Ange falls on his sword for the right reasons, then the squad continues under the stewardship of the next guy some time in the future. It still in the framework of the squad that started evolving from about the 21/22 season which was before we even thought about Ange. He just...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    It definitely jives with what we saw with Poch. His best team in 16/17 had Dele as the youngest at 21 and Vertonghen and Lloris as the oldest at 30. It never had U21's in it at it's peak unlike the way some like to remember it. Kane was already 21 when Poch walked in the door. He was 23 in our...

    Cristian Romero

    He played 90 mins for us against Ipswich between coming off in those 2 games though. Why would he do that if he wasn't either pain free or managing pain through the game, perhaps with injections? Not understanding the context of your word "pretending". There's no pretence, just working with the...

    I think that dovetails into the other 2 big conversations on Sonny and Madds though. We don't really know yet which positions these players settle in. I've read before that Moore wore the number 10 in academy teams and was an attacking midfielder. He's labelled a winger nowadays, perhaps...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Yes and no for me. Not for Spurs, but the optics that we've shone on the FA means they will be under incredible scrutiny for their double standard in all future decisions on these types of items. When Arsenal and Liverpool made their public statements of no-confidence in PGMOL it helped...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I thought the same, but when Brentford came in for Gray we chose to pull forward and prioritise that signing instead. I think we had him in our plans for a future window and decided not to lose out on a player we really wanted for the really long term. So on top of the Olise scenario, I think a...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    What people also haven't realised yet is that Bentancur is on 4 yellows. So he would have inevitably missed one of those 7 games anyway. He now need to be careful that he doesn't come back in the side in December, pick up a yellow and make it 8 games.

    Werner costs us £8m this year in wages and probably got a signing on fee for his troubles. There is no future financial commitment. Palace had sold Olise and therefore had no incentive to give us favourable payment terms on a £60m+ transfer fee (guess). They would have wanted a big chunk of that...

    I don't think Poch ever had to work with young players in the way that Ange is having / choosing to though. I find it refreshing that Ange could end up keeping a nucleus together for 6-8 years, perhaps even longer. At the equivalent time in Poch's tenure he really only had a couple of U21's -...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Problem is, we've never seen a sustained period of spending until now and that is reflected in the fan sentiment. If the 2019 spending had been now, we'd have coped much, much better. We only spent that much anyway because of the CL run revenues. It would have been about half that much. Then...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    It was another fantastic podcast, and kudos to the guys for keeping it fresh all the time. What I felt is that it encouraged more fans to have the fact based reality check and lose their romance of the cup, replacing it instead with pragmatism. I felt there was almost a resignation that us fans...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Apologies, only just got around to reading all your responses to my earlier posts. Perhaps the reason I am optimistic about our spending power and our attractiveness to players is that we're following a successful model that has won trophies. It was always the way of Fergie and has been...

    The transfer thread

    I think that's the impossible question for a fan to answer. We see Austin and Whiteman in their mid-twenties and still have no clue about them. We even see our club dish out a new contract to Austin. We can see a significant gap in experience, but that's about all. Who knows who would perform...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    When I read this on the BBC wesbite (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c5yx7v23pejo), you can see why we've pushed back. A response to the charge sent by Tottenham on behalf of Bentancur said: "Rodrigo's reply was sarcastic and a gentle rebuke for the journalist calling Sonny 'the...

    The transfer thread

    lol - way too many permutations and combinations for my tiny little mind, and I guess we don't name the squad until end of Jan anyway. The only thing I'd ask is that we select the second half of season UEFA squad based on our future, not our present or past. The only time the present should be...

    Yeah, it's a great question. I think if you're a profile of player that we try to attract you see a few key areas. One is the amazing facilities that we have at The Lodge and our amazing stadium. I also think we are sending out the message that younger players will get a chance in our setup...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Another manager I have a soft spot for. Finished his playing career and took a degree in social sciences and followed up with a masters in business and emotional intelligence. After a couple of years in semi-pro management, he did more hard yards (7 years) in Sweden getting a 4th tier team...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I guess the other aspect is the player purchases. We sold Bale (and Caulker) and we bought Chiriches, Capoue, Paulinho, Chadli, Eriksen, Lamela, Soldado. Also, we could have played with a high back line of Lloris (37), Walker (26), Kaboul (11), Vertonghen (23), Rose (22). Best sweeper keeper...
