You alright leGinFwiw I’m not actually the pro-Levy / anti spending monster I think I’m taken to be, nor am I the happy clapping blind optimist that some of my posts might paint me as. I just believe that our club has done things well over the past near two decades, has made consistent progress (if not year on year them at least two year on two year) and that this has shown little sign of slowing. I too would prefer greater investment in our playing squad than we’ve sometimes seen but also feel that we’ve got it more right than wrong in how we’ve invested in our squad and that the evidence at hand suggests the guys up top have a good plan in place. That isn’t to say that there aren’t better plans of course, but I have faith that this one will get us where we all, as Spurs fans, want to be, I.e. winning trophies and playing good football.
It’s from the same standpoint that I do vehemently defend players like Dele, Sanchez and Winks, because I genuinely believe they everyone of them is on track, with the usual blips of youth, to being amongst the best of their type on the planet, and reach that point while Kane, Eriksen and Son are still all amongst the best of their type. The ages of some of our other best players like the full backs, centre backs and goalie, as well as the clear lack of sufficient depth in central midfield, mean that in the coming two or three windows we probably have to see significant replenishing of the squad, but until it doesn’t happen I have faith that it will happen.
So yes, I do come off as a foolish cult follower of he who is small and bald, but really I just can’t see enough evidence of failure to condemn him as some have, and most of my points are reactive on this site so I’ll not often give a balanced ‘he does some things right, could do other things better’ opinion as usually I’m posting in response to someone condemning him.
Also, if anyone has reached this point of the post without being bored to death, I apologise for the quite self important tone of the above, I’m pretty sure nobody actually gives a shit about the inner workings of my appraisal of our owners and the club’s transfer policy, but I wanted to say it nonetheless as I spend an unhealthy amount of time talking to you lot and would rather get on with you all than not.
Winks has been better in a better side than Tielemans this season.
I mean, they're different types of players and all, but why do we always underrate our own? Not that I'd be against getting Tielemans btw. He looks decent, although I don't think he was particularly good today, misplacing simple passes on occasion, and I think he and Winks could play together. I actually thought Tielemans looked better when he was in a more advanced midfield position, anyway, as opposed than the sitting role that Winks plays
I believe the situation with Tielemans is that he's on loan with no option to buy. It may be that which Poch doesn't like rather than not rating the player.
I love a tall, elegant midfield player. It would always be my preference to have this kind of player sitting behind Dele and Eriksen in a City style system. Billing and Berge fit into those categories. Kondogbia too.He's been mentioned before by many of us, but Phillip Billing absolutely fits what Poch wants in a CM. Absolute unit, aggressive in the tackle, has shown the ability to spread the ball around a bit and would likely see a boost in passing accuracy with a more attack minded side. At 22, he also would bring some youth to midfield and would likely come at a reasonable fee. Would he be an amazing signing? Likely not. But, he does make a ton of sense and should give us some decent depth in an area we are so desperate for it.
If we sell Wanyama, he's probably a good bet as far as the replacement.
JJ has said Poch does not rate him. Which is a massive flaw on Poch's part. But then again Poch did play Sissoko on the right as a winger when many here saw that he was best in CM. He should leave the scouting to others I believe.
Well, he does expressly mention us both so at least he is efficient in his attempt. So full marks from me.Not sure whether this was to bait me or @heelspurs
She'd make you squeal like a pig as she went knuckle deep on you, she doesn't like bleeders either, but have a go if you think you're hard enough.
Leicester have a really good spine of players to be honest, if they bring in a couple of good signings then they could be a dark horse again next season.
Explaining your own personal stance to people on the internet - it's Sunday so it's probably worth the 15 minutes this took to cobble together but long term it's not worth it.Fwiw I’m not actually the pro-Levy / anti spending monster I think I’m taken to be, nor am I the happy clapping blind optimist that some of my posts might paint me as.

You’ve just summed up Brexit...Explaining your own personal stance to people on the internet - it's Sunday so it's probably worth the 15 minutes this took to cobble together but long term it's not worth it.
Everybody shouts at one another nowadays, conflict is drama, drama is entertaining, and entertainment is marketable. Finding consensus and common ground is dull, nobody wants to endure a civilized discussion that acknowledges ambiguity and complexity. Fireworks are what people want. We want the sense of solidarity and identity that comes from having our narrowed and exploited by like minded folk (zealots!) Everything from pundits, commentators, interest groups all the way down to others who post on forums like this - they all become successful by reducing topics and debate to the level of shouted rage. Nothing gets solved but we're all entertained (to various degrees) ...
Sundays are so fucking boring.
If she talks dirty half as good as you then I’m in for a treat when I get to the front of the queueShe'd make you squeal like a pig as she went knuckle deep on you, she doesn't like bleeders either, but have a go if you think you're hard enough.
Toodleoo!!!
Always remember when folks on here pop up with the 'oh, so you know more than Poch' that he persisted with playing Dembele, the player most responsible for out identity under him, up there as well when it was clear where he should play.JJ has said Poch does not rate him. Which is a massive flaw on Poch's part. But then again Poch did play Sissoko on the right as a winger when many here saw that he was best in CM. He should leave the scouting to others I believe.
