    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I've asked this before when this stuff has been discussed, not sure if answered before and by who... But if/when people are unhappy with how much we spend on wages I wonder how much more people would like us to spend, and then calculate how that would impact our "net spend" year by year. Then...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Think we see it differently. First couple of seasons under Klopp they signed quite a few players. Misses and hits. The big difference the hits being big and very few misses being expensive.

    Savinho

    Sure. Bit like Kane with Alli and Son. But more than that I think Kudus has the strength and technique to receive the ball under pressure in tight areas in the middle of the pitch and do really useful things with the ball.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Nothing wrong with a practical/pragmatic approach. We've seen in preseason how we can score from turnovers. We'll probably be a good threat from set pieces. But for that to work reasonably well I think we also need that ability to play through pressure. When in possession deep and when we win...

    Savinho

    Tel has looked a bit lost as a centre forward in preseason and last season. Tel as a striker having to do a lot of hold up play, back to goal work and dropping into the pockets certainly doesn't seem like a good plan. Tel as a striker with Savinho, Kudus and Kulusevski, or a combination of...

    Savinho

    Think Kudus could be very useful in the #10 position. But that would then require another winger. I've been going on and on about needing another #10, not really considered the alternative of signing another really good winger to free up Kudus to play there before this link.

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    Absolutely no doubts we should go all out and try to win this. Some doubts about what we'll be able to do. Wonder how the club World Cup will impact those teams. Could see them be in pretty good shape now, not that long ago they were competitive, but perhaps will struggle a bit later in the...

    Transfer thread

    I think that will be an important part of our plan regardless, but obviously shouldn't be our only plan. I actually think he'd help us to some extent playing differently too. He's not the deep playmaker I still wish we'd find hidden under some stone. But he's a player I think can turn poor or...

    Squad

    Not academy U21s, the players under 21 who can go on the B list in the PL, but can't in the CL because of the UEFA rule that players must have been at the club for two years to be able to be on the B-list. So Bergvall, Gray, Odobert etc go on the B-list in the PL meaning that we don't really...

    OMT - Tottenham Hotspur vs PSG

    Best possible preseason game to have. A chance to test ourselves against a great team in a competitive game and a trophy to compete for. Chances are we'll be second best by some distance, but hey. We're in the super cup, let's see what we can do. Hopefully we can do better than against Bayern.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Can see the argument that if he wants out sooner or later, doesn’t want to sign a new contract he may not be the best choice. Can also see an argument that a captain role is more about who is a unifying force behind the scenes. That a leader will lead no matter what and that unity from the...

    Savinho

    Makes sense if Frank thinks one of Kudus, Odobert or Savinho would be a good solution as a #10. Savinho is a really good player. Fantastic on his day. Only one goal last season, but 8 assists and showed in Spain that he can also score goals. Just 21, not yet fully developed. A player you can...

    Quite satisfied that we're (reportedly) not in for him. Would imo scream of desperation.

    Savinho

    Being able to break is vital. The "hang on for dear life" approach isn't a sustainable plan. The opponents need to really worry about what we can do on the break when we sit back. Another issue is playing out through pressure. As we saw last season imo even smaller teams will be able to press...

    2025/26 pre-season

    Fully agreed. We've also pretty much replaced the entire squad since Paratici first stepped in the door. We still have some players most people would want us to sell, but not the quantity of players that weren't good enough or suited enough that we used to have. Impossible to know for sure...

    Berba, Modric, Rafa, Bale, Kane, Sonny...?

    Loved both Carrick and Modric (despite watching on TV). We've never really managed to replace what they gave us. Modric went on to be recognised as probably the best midfielder in the world so tough to replace. Not quite the "marquee", "get people up on their feet" players I feel is the theme...

    Berba, Modric, Rafa, Bale, Kane, Sonny...?

    Absolutely on the first part. Still very young and who knows what will happen, but that "it" factor he definitely has it. So far I think he's been more impressive a bit deeper than #10 and seems to get a bit lost in games as a #10. That may very well change over time.

    Savinho

    I think Kudus as the 10 could work quite well. Would give us quite a bit of what we currently miss. Would perhaps struggle to be much of a tempo setter or super creative passer, but he's good at retaining and progressing possession. The comparison to Dembele (style, not role/position) has been...

    Have you ever seen aura and then it turned out it wasn't there? Anyone in the squad now you see that in? If "it"/aura can be scouted for and signed just sign those players repeatedly? For me there have been some that just had it from the start, but from the start being several competitive...
