    Jake Livermore to Hull DONE

    While I don't really think he was quite good enough, he always put a shift in and couldn't ever be accused of not showing effort and desire. Hope him and Hudd continue to do well together.

    The Poch has been confirmed as manager thread!

    Called him a prick and told him to fackin do one.

    Manager before players or players before manager?

    Indeed. We got Modric before he had a stormer and was named in the team of the tournament at Euro 08. If we'd waited till after I imagine we wouldn't have got him.

    The Case For Frank de Boer...continued

    Maybe they offered the job to a ghost. Mind blown.

    Glad we didn't sign...

    I was terrified that I was going to see Michael Owen in a Spurs shirt.

    Farewell Heurelho

    What always confused me about him was that he used to be a striker, apparently, yet couldn't kick the ball. One of the best reaction shotstoppers I've ever seen, sadly lacking in other areas that are important over here. Best of luck to him.

    picking a midfield

    I think he has more in his locker than we've seen. Certainly his highlights from Twente and his Europa games for us suggest he can be a wide forward and a winger. His delivery with either foot is better than Lennon or Townsend and he was much more direct when it came to running at full backs at...

    picking a midfield

    Chadli generally plays as a wide attacker on the left (although admittedly not much for us)

    De Boer has a bigger head. That's all I've got.

    Spurs academy attracting the cream of the crop...

    I don't think we're deteriorating as a group, the coaching and youth selection process has been wrong for decades. We prioritised the wrong things. I played in a few youth teams (no-one of note) and the stronger, faster lads were always picked ahead of the ones who were considerably better...

    A failed experiment. We've learned our lesson and we'll move on.

    The Case For Frank de Boer...continued

    I can't imagine that Wenger will ever set Arsenal up to play like that. It just isn't his style.
