Dejan Kulusevski

Not so long ago several posters in here said Kulusevski wasn't good enough for us and should be one of the first on the 'for sale' list.

A couple of years back, a manager that seems to know a little bit about football, was asked which Spurs player he'd like in his team. The answer came immediately:

- Kulusevski! What a player!

The manager was Pep Guardiola
 
And he is not yet at his prime. When is Paratici coming back to work?
I don’t think he’s ever left
I'm sure he's still being used as a consultant as needed, but seen nothing to confirm this.

I love the idea that someone as senior as Fabio would support THFC with these advisory services on players that suit our philosophy. Just trying to figure out whether he'll politely withdraw at some point as his career and money aspirations take over. I also wonder how guys as senior as Munn and Lange feel about him being around the club. Will always thank him for driving some of the change we've seen recently either way.

Once his ban is over I'm sure some club will hire him, possibly us, so he won't work in a consultant role forever. We did stand by him as long as we could so hopefully he has some loyalty after that, but loyalty in football...

To be fair those criticisms came while he was playing on the right where he had had a prolonged period (majority of 2 seasons) of really poor and ineffective form. He obviously had real quality and the move to the centre working isn't surprising as he had said on a couple of occasions that was his preferred role.
 
i think maddison will leave if kulu continues as he is
not that it matters to me much, we need better players
Real competition for places. Having bona fide options when one player is injured or off form.

Players both pushing each other to improve and do better through competition, but also taking responsibility off each other at times so no one has to be at their best at all times for the team to function.

I'm guessing Maddison will start mid week. He'll get his chances to start in the league soon enough. GHod knows we'll soon enough be in a situation where we need creative options from the bench. Maddison is a great player well capable of that challenge.

We need the Maddison/Kulusevski/Sarr situation replicated in other areas. We don't need to get rid of that situation when it arises.
 
Proper captain material....

The Swedish international also predicted Tottenham's second-half onslaught against Villa, recalling: "At half-time I said to the lads, 'If we score one, we will score four' and exactly that happened.

"As soon as we scored one with a lovely cross from Sonny and a good finish from Brennan (Johnson), I knew we were going to win.

Fixtures really start coming quickly in December, so Maddison is going to get plenty of starts soon enough.

League cup
Europa league
Christmas PL fixtures
Couple of rounds of midweek league games
 
Deki played really well again, instrumental in demolishing the mighty Azeris.
Ran and fought and fought and ran.
Got an injury to his right shoulder and played on.
Strangely, with 1 second left to play, he took a left footed shot with nobody near him and immediately clutched his right shoulder and sank to the floor in pain.

He walked off and was holding the water bottle with that arm, so was not MEGA injured, but it was very strange to take a left footed shot and hold your right shoulder in pain, it must be some sort of strain.
 
"I think there are a couple of factors and one is here inside the training ground. To be a champion, you have to be a champion every day. You have to give everything every day.
I feel we lack a little bit of discipline in terms of that consistency. That's what is missing. The quality is there, the football is there. But you have to do it every day. You can't be happy because you win a game, two games, three games. You have to aim to win every game.
I think these are the steps that we have to take. We have the football, but we have to get more disciplined. Maybe someone else has a different opinion, but that is mine."
