    The Gio situation reminds me a bit of Dembele's first season under Poch. I couldn't get my head around how Poch would pick Bentaleb and Mason ahead of Mousa. I'm not saying Madders, Sarr and Bentancur can be compared to Mason and Bentaleb or Gio is on the level of Mousa, but the fact he gets so...

    I actually didn't really want us to sign Bissouma, as though he looked good, I'd never been impressed with him to the extent that I wanted us to sign him, even when he got plaudits for a performance against us. I felt pretty vindicated after his first season with us, though he showed glimpses of...

    Pretty much exaclty that. City just represent the reality of football in my opinion and what a simple game it is. Possession is 9/10 of the law and the very best players can retain possession at speed and in the tightest spaces. So, as you say, you can play far up the pitch and pin teams in...

    I think if we were able to see heatmaps of where David Silva's tocuhes of the ball took place and Deki's they'd be very different. As you point out, you aren't going to ask Silva to hug the line and look to capitalise on our speedy transitions. No one is saying Deki isn't a quality player and...

    But he's been better this season than last season. Deki is still living on his first half season with us, when we thought we had a potential star. But very early last season, it became obvious that every team we played were much more aware that he was going to cut inside. Based on last season's...

    He doesn't have pace. If he had pace he'd be one of the best attacking players in the world. It's such a crucial asset for a wide player. It doesn't matter how often he has 2 or 3 good games in a row, it will always be followed by a couple of poor games, as without pace, it's almost impossible...

    Not particularly relevant to his form, but he's very likeable person.

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    I can't believe we didn't do more to keep him. At the time quite a few of us were pretty pissed off about it. It was obvious, with his talent, he'd end up at one of Barcelona, Bayern or Wealdstone. Bloody Levy!

    Sergio Reguilon hints at reason for exit after 'strange' Ange Postecoglou U-turn

    I don't think Reggie is a bad player, but I'd rather we have another Porro style player to compete with Destiny. I agree with those who think Dwight McNeil is worth a gamble as a back up for the left side at both LB and LW. So I'd sell Reggie if we get an offer.

    Premier League 2023/2024

    Maybe the head coach role is just massively over hyped and there are number of other factors that are way more important to a clubs success. I'm pretty sure this time last season ETH was being used as an example of the kind of coach we should have got and that he's the reason Utd were above us...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    While looking up Doue (who looks really good in that clip), I noticed Martin Terrier is back playing. He's got 5 goals and 2 assists in 902 mins, so he doesn't seem to be feeling the effects of such along time out with a bad injury. We were heavily linked with him before his injury.

    Tottenham have now lost talented youth international as he completes move to Germany

    I've never heard of him, which given that when a youth player is able to tie up his own boot laces our fans start to hype their potential, suggests he's probably shit anyway.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Palace

    I know he played a sloppy pass when he came on, but from now on, I think both Gio and Madders have to start these kind of games. We need our best players on the ball on the pitch. There is no point having 83% possession, as we did in the first half, if we don't have technical players on the...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Gyokeres showed a real turn of pace to score tonight. He really looks ideal for the Prem.
