OMT: Spurs vs Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C.

[Bedfordspurs]

Who would he play instead of/rotate with amongst our current crop?
Also, who in the PL would you say he is most similar to?

Dier or winks
No one Now but Xavi Alonso from the past and maybe Carrick

Interesting thanks; will take a closer look at Saturday!

I'm not an expert, but from what I've seen of him, he's mostly just a really, really good passer. He doesn't seem to do a lot of dribbling, cover a lot of ground, or is particularly athletic, so he wouldn't be a perfect Dembele replacement. I wonder if the coaching staff might see him as an alternative to Grealish (even tho Neves tends to sit deeper). JG is a better dribbler, whereas Neves is a better passer.

To me, they'd both be more of Winks alternatives (nowhere near defensively capable enough to replace Dier) than anyone who can replace Dembele, which is why I'd so much rather us make a run at a guy like NDombele, De Jong, Ndidi, or Kovacic.

Interesting.....

...however, what do you see in Ndidi that would make him a decent target for us?

He had been classy when I’ve seen him
He would be in the £40/£50m bracket I’d say

I’ve seen nothing ....
He is a typical furry little player who covers a lot of groubd but hasn’t got a football head

Their very trendy because of Kante

 

[alekaras]

Can't really sympathise. Your OMT caused Lamela's miss. And here you are, unscathed. I secured victories against Fulham and West Ham, and yet I was struck down indefinitely with this absurd piano-playing character actor.

Wet Spam and Fulham. Meh

I wonder whether it would be worth letting Goldblum's agent know about this site. He might be scared enough to consider an injunction of some kind.

I think that they would conclude that this board contains exactly the right amount of Goldblum.

Derbies. Form goes out of the window; the gods have far more scope for intervention.

Have they seen the shrine in your shed?

I was going to mock your 'effort' re Monday's game but tbf to you i actually saw that your omt record was scarily one of greatness

 

[Robbo]

What a weird kick off time.

I added Ndidi because he seems like a more gettable option than a De Jong/Ndombele, but I do like him. He's really young, and his defensive numbers are insane (tackles+interceptions). Plus, unlike Kante, he's a beast in the air. His passing isn't great, but he's always played in a pretty tactically conservative team and that might bump up with a more possession based side. Maybe he's a better replacement for Wanyama than Dembele to be fair...

Other than that, I don't have much to add to this OMT other than to say we should be respectful of the The Woofers. They play tidy, energetic football and we'll be embarrassed if we underestimate them.

Have to admire how well we did with an almost fully rotated squad mid-week and we should have plenty of energy for this game.

 

[greatwhitenorf]

Scot-free? Thanks to my OMT we didn't get tonked 0-5 and almost came away with a point.

You lose, you pay the price. Here's my choice for you, sugar nips:

----------HL---------
SA----JF----DS----BD
----------ED----------
------HW----DA------
-EL------HK------LM-

If anyone is going up, the Newhampton pub is a great boozer and they’re ok with a few away fans... best pub in Wolvo!

And charm the locals by complimenting Beavertown Brewery products, the official brewer at the new stadium. Run by Logan Plant, a Wolves fan.

Just like his dad, singer Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin fame. Whom I saw live this past summer and was amazed at how well he performed on his latest tour with the Sensational Shape Shifters:

Smash these bad boys 5-4 I reckon.

Spurs team news: Wanyama, Vertonghen, Rose & Dier out

Wolves v Tottenham (Sat, 19:45 GMT)

We're going to interrupt Maurizio Sarri for a second to bring you some team news coming from the Tottenham camp.

Victor Wanyama is OUT, while Jan Vertonghen (hamstring) continues his rehabilitation.

Eric Dier is out of action with a thigh problem and Danny Rose is also unlikely to return before the international break.
