    Brexit, unfortunately. I guess not having freedom of movement means that he can't be employed in the UK until he's 18. I've not heard about this affecting other clubs -- like Chelsea and Emirates Marketing Project, who always seem to have plenty of foreigners in their youth setup, but it's probably just that I...

    Hopefully the modern one rather than the WW2 version.

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Fulham OMT***

    I'd much rather have Maddison in that space. Although given that it's Fulham, Hojbjerg and Sarr could be given licence to push up a lot further than usual. I'd be nervous of over-committing if Romero isn't available though.

    Cristian Romero

    And there we have it. "Woo" or not, we've all seen how Spurs players seem to take ages to heal. It could be that this happens to every club, and we just pay more attention to our own...or it could be our physio room being run by Gooner clowns...or it could be down to those pesky lemons after...

    I wonder if anyone below the age of 30 knows who he is? Seriously though, even if I was 18 again, I'm pretty sure no amount of training and diet would get me close to even an un-doped Ben Johnson. And I was always reasonably quick over 20 metres -- much less lardy than my online moniker might...

    Fair point, and I agree that anyone can get quicker with the right coaching (especially if they've never had proper sprint training) but, if you're not a speedster by 18, I don't think you can become truly fast. Not to a level that would stand out against top level footballers, anyway.

    Alejo Véliz

    LOVING this article about Veliz! "I remember one game, a very tricky away match against Lanus, the year when we finished third in the league. We were winning 2-1 when one of their strikers broke through alone. He ran from halfway, leaving our defenders behind, and looked certain to score. But...

    James Maddison

    I don't think the percentages are relevant. We paid £10m less than we should have for Maddison, they paid £10m less for Winks. Everyone's happy except Norwich...and possibly the taxman!

    You can't teach pace! There's something about his black boots as well. I think they make him look slower, which just adds to the deception.

    James Maddison

    15% apparently, so quid pro quo'ing £10M would have saved Leicester £1.5M. Tidy. Guess there may have been some tax savings too, but I don't know how that works.

    James Maddison

    You can argue that he was flattered by the players around him in the peak Poch team, but he still bossed midfield against Real -- the lad's got talent, just not quite enough to make a midfield pairing with Sissoko. With all sorts of random CMs going for way more than that, Winks for £10m is a...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Reminds me of my brand-conscious sister getting a hideous Lexus SUV. She really doesn't appreciate me calling it a Toyota.

    Robbie Keane too :rolleyes:

    Dejan Kulusevski

    Having two players on that wing with such different styles and abilities would be a real bonus, assuming that they form a solid partnership. Like Corluka and Lennon :-)

    Dejan Kulusevski

    He really was! Some of his drop in form could well be due to the opposition doing their homework on him.

    Oops. I had the wrong one too.

    Cann we?

    Here's one for you. We're actually not doing all that much better than we started last season. This is the table at the end of 17th September 2022, with us top alongside Emirates Marketing Project, before Arsenal won their fixture that weekend. So let's not get too carried away. It could all go tits up very...

    As long as we don't turn on them when the mistakes and goals inevitably happen. As you say, we have no right to expect such a young and inexperienced defence to work so well so quickly.

    I've never really watched Jota for a full game, but he's always had a knack for scoring goals.

    Is that because their stadium is too small for a bus?
