    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I think he is detail oriented. But different details than some other managers perhaps. And he seems quite good at focusing on the details that matter. Looking how we play, how we press and play through pressure. Looking at how we use the full backs and wingers. How we use our midfielders. I...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I don't think our wages to revenue ratio has changed. But I'm not sure why it would or should. Our revenue has increased, so if that ratio stays similar we're spending more on wages in absolute terms. But more importantly. If we spent more on wages we'd have to spend less on transfers. We're...

    First and third point... I didn't use those players as an example of us being more attractive. I used those as examples of us being able to spend more and sign both first teamers and younger talents. I used Bergvall and Vuskovic as examples of us maybe being somewhat more attractive to elite...

    Cristian Romero

    If it was the video with all the goals we've conceded this season I don't think that's enough to call something like this a fact. You'd have to at least look at all crosses that have come in against us to get a bigger data set. Even then is this a problem now or a constant in his game? Last...

    Archie Gray

    A lot of opinions on where young Gray should be playing and what his best position is and will be. Mentioned this in the transfer thread too, but he himself said the 8 role was his best earlier this season. Will be interesting to see if he's given minutes in DM now Bentancur is suspended. Not...

    Pedro Porro

    Good stuff. Another one we need back playing with an abundance of energy and not just barely getting through a game.

    Pape Matar Sarr

    Will almost certainly be needed and as you say hopefully he's ready for what's coming.

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    There have been times in the past where we have looked a very good place for young talented players to come. Other times not so much. We're now in a good time for that, not sure if it's better than the better periods in the past. Where we perhaps seem a bit stronger now compared to the past is...

    Lucas Bergvall

    He only has limited sub appearances in the league. But he has 4 starts (one cut very short) in the EL and 1 start in the LC. He has been getting game time, but so far not stepped up/adjusted sufficiently. If he doesn't improve with whatever game time he gets (probably mostly in the EL) until...

    Cristian Romero

    Ball retention is less important in games like this, though of course has some value. Being able to play through their press to get into dangerous areas ourselves is really important. Romero is really important to that part of our game. When struggling for ball retention the difference between...

    The transfer thread

    I agree on viable options, but I have some doubts about for example Ederson as an immediate upgrade. From what I've seen mostly played in a double pivot and (like Bentancur and Bissouma) more natural as an 8. I'm not claiming to know that much about Ederson or any other specific target. Just...

    Cristian Romero

    When we suffer creatively we suffer defensively through losing the ball, getting pressed out of our style and through not offering enough of a threat for opponents to worry about. I was assuming VdV would miss out on another game or two, but perhaps not? If he's available it's definitely less...

    The transfer thread

    I'm not sure that player exists as a realistic target for us in that role. I quite clearly could be wrong, but most of the suggestions floating around have significant question marks associated with them for me at least. Really need good decisions on whoever we end up going for as an instant...

    Cristian Romero

    Absolutely. But those are also factors when people are calling for Romero to be dropped/rotated. I really hope Romero is ready again for the City game.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Part of why I like Ange's approach and why I think in some ways it's "pragmatic". It can buy you a bit of time that you won't get with boring football. Rough patches of form and results are likely whatever system you play, with this system we're a bit mye likely to come through the other end...

    OMT ** Tottenham Hotspur v Emirates Marketing Project ** Saturday 23 November 2024

    Will be really tough and we'll have to be close to our best to get anything from this one. A lot of the players have seemed somewhat fatigued recently. Some have gotten less playing time during the internationals, but still travelling and a lack of time on the training ground. Really could do...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Agreed. Think he inherited a squad with some really good players, some players with quite a lot of potential and of course a (in hindsight) really special talent in Kane. But also a squad with a lot of problems. He did great work with a lot of those players already here, but they did also have...

    The transfer thread

    Agreed on past, but think we should select based on the present. If there's a significant gap in quality between Forster and our younger backup goalkeepers do we really want to end up in an important game with our third best GK instead of our second best if Vicario is injured? Similarly for...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    I think that has changed somewhat at least as our spending power has increased. There probably was a time when he felt he had to try everything to get a deal somewhat cheaper. That no longer seems the case, at least not to the same extent. I agree that it would have been good if Solanke for...

    Daniel Levy - Chairman

    Fully agreed. And getting back there to me means that the longer term is more important then short term fixes. Because if you go short term and fail you're mostly back to square one. If you go longer term with younger players you're more likely to still be heading in a good direction even if it...
