    Tottenham and transfer plans? What is this witchery that you speak.

    Capology know absolutely zero about the wages. They make estimates based on educated guesses but any time the actual audited reports come out they are completely and utterly wrong. It's basically a waste of time looking at capology at all in regards to wages.

    Guglielmo Vicario

    In the PL maybe, it wasn't that uncommon in Europe. Neuer was around, Barthez and Lama were passing keepers as was Valdes. There are others whose names I can't remember right now but Lloris was already a little bit old school in that regard by 2012. I do agree though that the passing back to...

    But it's not hindsight, he looked a good player, not an exceptional one 2 years ago. That's when you jump on those players. You don't wait for them to become widely recognised as great before you try and get them, by the time they are even recognised as £70m purchase they are already a little...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    No it bloody wasn't. 🤣🤣 I watched Lloris for Lyon, he was never good with his feet. NEVER! What he was known for as a standout feature was his sweeper keeper antics, not his passing game. The problem with Vicario and not being put in uncomfortable positions is that the opposition won't comply...

    No, he was too expensive. 😑

    The crazy thing is we could have tried to buy him 2 years ago for probably 35m. I have no idea why we wait so long for a player to become a proven quantity by which point they have better suitors than ourselves.

    Cristian Romero

    @Baleforce is a bit of madman but suggesting that Danso is more solid defensively than VDV isn't really that controversial an idea. VDV is a great recovery specialist but the rest of his defensive game is somewhat lacking if we are totally honest with ourselves. Danso is I would agree better...

    The Case for the Attacking play

    Yeah I can definitely see the argument that Frank isn't bringing in the type of player we need. I wonder though because I would say we needed the same under Ange and we didn't get that player then either. We needed it under Conte even more so and again didn't really get it, pre injury Bentancur...

    The Case for the Attacking play

    Rondos yes, were they successful no they bloody weren't. 😅 It doesn't matter how much you drill them, if they lack the basic minerals no amount of drilling is going to change that. Ange played the heavy possession short passing game with overloads, yet how often did we see these threaded passes...

    Guglielmo Vicario

    Lloris was terrible with his feet, you're kind of damning him with faint praise. 😅 With Vicario I don't think his passing is terrible, he can and will pass with both feet but it's the hesitation and the look of discomfort when he does that concerns. He never seems that sure of what he's doing...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    But not our most successful period of actually being well...successful. Wow we finished in the top 4 a bunch of times. Something that has only even mattered really in the era ENIC have owned us, the same time period when the European places also massively expanded. All nice to an extent but...

    The Case for the Attacking play

    I hear what you’re saying about the tactical approach, vis-à-vis going wide rather than centrally. We could certainly use more variety, but it’s kind of obvious why we do this. Still, are you seriously saying that you watch this group of players and actually think they’re capable of playing the...

    Well he's rubbish with the ball at his feet so you might as well knock it to his head. 😅

    I think disagree by all means but debate why, just doing a disagree tick is a bit cowardly, because exactly what part of the post do you disagree with?

    Rough highlights of Prem teams' transfer windows

    I've said it a loads of times, it's not about how much you spend. It's about how and when you spend it and whom you spend it on. They've filled in their gaps better than we ever have, they've looked at their weak points and addressed them better than we again ever have. It is indeed a club...

    Rough highlights of Prem teams' transfer windows

    Why would they? For some reason lots of seem to think Villa have both lower expectations and ambitions than our own? I'd say they actually higher demands. They spent to the very top of the FFP limits, when that was hit they player traded to ease their difficulties but also used the market...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Burnlio, Sat Jan 24th, 3pm***

    A better balanced team will outperform a team of "better" individuals over the long term, especially if that group of "better" individuals isn't particularly special and ours aren't. If we were talking about elite individuals then sure but we have none and particularly not in the attack, the...
