Coming in, AVB had made up his mind that Rafa didn't suit his style.
He bought Gylfi & made it clear to Rafa that he wasn't really in his plans.
“Andre Villas-Boas wasn’t the ideal coach for me. He bought Gylfi Sigurdsson and then told me he would be his new No.10. I found that a little bit...
Memories very similar to what previous posters have said.
But it was also AVB's choice of Gylfi Sigurdsson over VDV.
Yes Gylfi was younger & seemingly more durable yet VDV had that X factor that few possess.
To discard him so unceremoniously was quite surprising to me.
I appreciate the psychological analysis.
I can picture Ndombele stretched out on your couch spilling out his insecurities to you.
You: "Tell me about your discomfort in covering yards... ...is it a fear of commitment?"
I suspect we'll potentially need an Eastern - Western Fusion of techniques...
Just make one deal conditional on the other.
IE: Quietly negotiate & agree terms for Kane BUT it is conditional on Spurs getting one or both CB's.
Once the CB's are confirmed, then Kane's contract is fulfilled.
Both deals done simultaneously.
I just don't like collars on kits any more.
May as well put a tie on it while they're at it.
And FWIW, they've taken the retro look too literally as it looks heavy & doesn't appear to be very form fitting either.
Goes against the current light-weight, moisture wicking, aerodynamic tops of today.
"Inspired by the sounds of N17" so I guess it says "Levy Out" on the back?
In fairness to Levy, I believe he made an inspired & bold decision to go with Ange.
Looking forward to the new season.
I do believe that the recent failures of Jose & Conte have brightened Pochettino's star.
He gave us an era of exciting football where, I for one, looked forward to every match with an anticipation of winning regardless of the opposition. That playing freely & fearlessly was so enticing...
I have not gone through this whole thread so I may be repeating what others have already said or know.
I have little faith in Levy & our Board in their footballing decisions.
On the most elementary level, if you look at the Board's composition, it's all about finance & corporate affairs.
Not...

Expansive spending is not going to happen with ENIC.
I started supporting Spurs in the late 70's b/c they played attacking style football with some flair.
As I've said numerous times before, it appeared that those sides would rather win 5 - 4 than 1 - nil.
We may not have won all the...
Zaniolo would not be my first choice but he's an exciting choice for a number of reasons.
- Conte & Fab have advocated for him for some time (according to ITK).
- Conte has a specific way of playing & is missing this particular piece.
- NZ's skilled, fit, very strong & very experienced despite...
To me, that seems so unlike Poch to speak about wanting a managerial position that someone else is in. He doesn't disrespect people.
Slow media day & probably made up
In regards to the missed penalty.
In that circumstance, I don't believe any England player would have wanted someone other than Harry to be standing at the spot with the ball. FWIW, Kane has a better success rate from the spot than two current giants of the game. Possibly of all time...
