    I get this and agree that City's deep resources allows it to do things others can't. However I think there is something to be admired about how City went about this. They spent their money well and not recklessly (e.g Kovacic) Laid the foundations for the future in youth training/recruitment...

    Beckham was one of the best passers of the ball in his generation maybe only second to Scholes, so I dont see why you are comparing him to Grealish. Grealish wont even start for England atm. My conversation was about who could make City's team and IMO only Son and Romero would. Madders was an...

    I think you are being over-generous/over-rating our players relative to City. Take Madders. His competition would be: Bernado Silva; more versatile (can play CM, just as good as a play-maker with goals in him too), more proven KDB; no need to explain. Foden; no need to explain. Grealish; this...

    Which 2 players do you mean? I think only Son can start and Romero can go into City's bench; no other Spurs player would even make City's matchday sqaud. In City's view IMO Werner and Madders are the same; neither would make their squad more competitive so neither would be considered. I don't...

    I dont blame Ange for the sideways football. It's how 'front-foot' football looks when it doesn't work. If you can't pass it around/forward where else to go but sideways/back? Arsenal's been doing it for a long time; until last year. I dont think its fair to compare Redknapp's team to this...

    My belief is similar to yours, but Ange had said what he said. This is why personally I dont actually believe that Ange is genuinely gunning for the title; i think he is just manipulating the player's belief system in order to get closer. IMO from our squad, only Son is capable of starting...

    We might even digress next year. If we finish 5th this year there is no gurantee we will finish better than that next year. Therefore just enjoy this ride while it lasts.

    Ange has also said that Spurs will win as a collective and not through individual quality, implying sum>parts. Who knows. The coach can say whatever he wants.

    I disagree that Werner is a guranteed failure. He has contributed but his poor finishing restricts his upside. If he's 15m then it's no wonder he is average PL quality. You get what you pay for. I think it's more correct to say whether you would take a punt at 15m or have a squad option at...

    I agree and observed this becase of AFTV. It was fun to watch when Arsenal was terrible. They were in relegation-form at one point. The Kronkes deserve credit for sticking with Arteta. If it was up to the fans Arteta would have been long gone. This is one example of the owners knowing more...

    Pedro Neto didn't stand out when he joined. He improved and took his chances as the team evovled. Wolves paid that price for what he might become and their foresight paid out. Werners situation is different. He comes as an established player. Both the upside and downside to this deal is more...

    I’m indifferent whether it’s a small or big defeat. I want ange to put out whatever team and play however he wants that he believes would give the best result. Whether it’s arsenal doesn’t make me feel any different. It happens to be against a strong team so I want to see who can perform in...

    For football fans yes; they would feel bad. But for pro footballers they should know better. Someone like Romero or Son knows where they stand in the world-football order. Same for the coaches. For young players like Sarr they would also know who's better than who at what...it's what they do...

    Yep the extent to which Ange can develop our players is how I would gauge him; and so far the signs are quite good. Son has grown. Johnson's getting better. Romero's discipline is better. Biss is getting worse and is my main concern. The others like Madders likely due to injury which is out of...

    They are certainly capable of good performances and are suited to pro-active football, which was why we bought them in the first place. Yes they can be coached better. I disagree though with how highly you value tactics. For argument sake if Mourinho/Conte was still here and we played...
