    'He'll get murdered!' - How a Tottenham tweak unearthed Luka Modric

    If this was what, I'd be banned for what? :bored:

    Conor Gallagher

    We can only guess just how much he would have improved with regular playing time in the PL, but he'd almost certainly be better than he is now. During his loan to Norwich, when he won the Championship title and was selected for the Championship 'PFA Team of the Year', he demonstrated that he was...

    'He'll get murdered!' - How a Tottenham tweak unearthed Luka Modric

    I was responding to this. The World Cup wasn't with Spurs...

    Conor Gallagher

    We don't know that they need to get Gallagher off the books though. It's one simple solution to their financial situation, which has been repeatedly speculated on by the media, but that doesn't mean it's the course they'll take. Chelsea was reportedly needing to sell Gallagher, or to make...

    'He'll get murdered!' - How a Tottenham tweak unearthed Luka Modric

    In terms of trophies won, it's not even close: Ossie: 1x World Cup, 1x UEFA Cup, 2x domestic cup Modric: 5x Champions League, 5x Club World Cup, 4x UEFA Super Cup, 5x league, 4x domestic cup I know some would argue that winning the World Cup is the ultimate achievement for a player (even though...

    Eberechi Eze

    He's started every game for them since signing in January, so staying put for now is probably the best thing for his development.

    Conor Gallagher

    Their strongest XI includes both Gallagher & Palmer, and they each offer something slightly different, so I don't understand this comment. It's like saying we don't need Bentancur because we have Maddison.

    Sorry I got that part wrong. But he is currently 31 in England and 30 in Korea, not 32 and 31 respectively, and simply isn't 32 yet. Like people kept doing with Kane, there seems to be a rush for him to get old and decline before his time.

    No. The "old system" is the international standard (number of full years since birth), which puts him at 31. The new Korean system is number of years since conception, which puts him at 30. His DOB is 08/07/1992, so he is currently 31 and will turn 32 this summer.

    When we counter, we don't pick out his runs often enough or early enough. After his first couple of games, I was optimistic that would change as his new teammates get used to him, but it hasn't so far. When we come against a low block, he doesn't seem to offer anything that our other options...

    You've made me wish that's what I'd meant, but in Korea he's only 30.

    Are you implying that sacking our manager midway through a rebuild, replacing our top scorer with Solanke, and hammering a 22-year-old defender for his one poor performance of the season isn't the right response to today's performance? Everyone else on SC disagrees, so you must be wrong...

    Match Threads Newcastle vs Spurs

    On average, they've worked better for us than Conte or Mourinho's tactics have, and better than Poch's tactics worked during his last year with us (when he changed the system a bit).

    Or, being a bit less trigger happy, perhaps we should hire a set piece coach to work alongside our existing coaches.
