    Ruslan Malinovskyi

    Of course computer game ratings are just for reference for abilities, but somehow they do reflect the reputation. For the Maddison/Paqueta/Zaniolo "underwhelming" comparison...

    Youri Tielemans

    I think Conte wants someone who can play in the Jorginho role more than someone who can play number 10, especially when Bissouma is not very good at long passing.

    Lautaro Martinez

    Maybe Conte wants to try his dream 4-2-4 formation again?

    Not really. Outside football, they both tend to live with their own culture in many aspects and it is hard to say who are more open, really depending on your perspectives. But for football, it is a different story. Japanese footballers are all over the smaller Asian countries and even African...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Giovani Lo Celso

    He has been with us for two years but the first year he was good. He had done all the things you mentioned above and carried the team almost on his own for many matches. The second year was bad but in actual you have only watched him for 1/4 season. First 1/3, he just came back from injury and...

    They are short of defending players most of the time though. But they can easily make two list of players for the attacking ones in the past 20 years.

    Matt Doherty @ Atletico Madrid

    I am not saying he is not a bad player. But going forward doesn't 100% mean putting crosses. Some wing backs love overlapping runs while some enjoy underlapping runs. He would be bad in 90% of systems but I would say he can be fantastic in 19-20 Sheffield United's system, in which center backs...

    Lautaro Martinez

    From the Man City game it looks like we are going to play a flexible narrow front 3 and a wide CM3. In this way Martinez can fit in any of the front 3. Actually Bergwijn and Lucas are non-traditional wingers that enjoy going centrally too. And this can also explain why we are interested in...

    Player Watch: Serge Aurier

    https://www.uefa.com/uefaeuropaconferenceleague/clubs/1652--tottenham/ We registered Paskotsi (who is not counted as U21 in European competitions as not yet at the club for 2 years, and also not HG) instead of Aurier for the foreign player spot.

    Team v Pacos Ferreira

    Skipp is U21 + stays at the club for >2 years, so not needed to be registered

    James Ward-Prowse

    The comparison of JWP vs Winks is meaningless. If you believe Winks should leave the club, you should compare JWP with other rumoured CM targets instead.

    Managing Director Football: Fabio Paratici

    Doherty was loaned to Scotland so it was not a full 3-year. It is confirmed as we did not manage to register Rodon in Europa last season.

    Takehiro Tomiyasu

    For a modern possession team, mostly they are playing like a 3-2-5 or 2-3-5 in attack. Whether to play a lopsided FB, it is just a matter of who to stretch the width of the pitch and who to occupy the half-space. For example, if your base formation is 4-3-3 and attacking as 3-2-5, you can have a...

    Loan Watch Joe Rodon -Leeds United

    Not really. He was loaned to Scotland for a few months in those three seasons. Also, there is no point to drop Gazzaniga for Clarke in last week's submission if Doherty is homegrown.

    Player Watch - Carlos Vinícius

    Actually, even just talking about YouTube highlights, I already thought he is a more suitable option than Daka and the others when I watched the video after somebody mentioned him yesterday. He does provide something we lacks, while Son (when playing as a striker) already possesses the standout...

    Valencia has put the entire squad for sale except Jose Gaya according to reports.

    Habib Diallo

    Don't know if this is the right thread but I think there is a possibility that Maxi Gomez being JJ's under the radar striker. If it's Diallo, I don't think JJ needs to keep it so secret as it is reported everywhere now. Gomez is a Target Man type striker and aged only 24. We were linked to him...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31st August 2020

    Don't want to create too many replies locking the ITK thread. Let's be friendly and end this. Maybe this is a cultural difference. As a non-British I don't have many feelings on Costa Coffee's Latte. And we all use Milk as a nickname of Milik in my home country.

    Latte is identical to milk (in its original meaning). We call that type of coffee "Latte" as a lazy version of Caffe Latte. If you order Latte in Italy, the shop may give you milk only.

    Of course everybody know this. This is already mentioned in the earliest replies. But this is more indirect.
