    The Last Piece of the Puzzle,a DM

    Nah. He's a terrier of a defensive midfielder. We were originally linked with him in the summer of 2018 but we obviously did not sign anyone. So he moved to Russia in January 2019.

    And as a result a lot of defenses struggle with defending against them. De Ligt for example talked about struggling with Llorente after our CL battles with them. We also have to accept that José has his style and if it involves a target man then we have to accept that. Kane is adaptive enough...

    Willian Jose

    Correction. Our style WASN'T built around that. There were however definitely signs of Mourinho wanting to implement more of that type of attacking play before we started getting players injured. Son is at his best when he is allowed to play off a central striker. Not as one. He and Moura...

    Skipp will get a loan next season most likely to go out and prove himself, which is the right move. I'd go for Wilmar Barrios at St. Petersburg. He's impressed me in the CL this season and the Russian league is implementing an even tighter limit on the amount of foreign players each club is...

    Willian Jose

    Not by a South American club. But by the Stellar agency. Which is owned/run by Jonathan Barnett (Bale's agent). He and Levy get on so I don't think that is an issue. Would not surprise me if Barnett is involved in this deal somewhat.

    Him suddenly being dropped from their match day squad despite the manager talking about him coming back in surely indicates something.

    Player Watch - Steven Bergwijn signs for Ajax

    It's almost like if Alex Ferguson said "Good defenses wins you titles". Klopp's Liverpool also only really became short of untouchable once Van Dijk joined up as the missing piece of their defense. For a more current day analogy.

    Piatek would not fill the same role. Piatek is a straight up goal fiend. He shoots and shoots and shoots. He has about 2 assists since moving to Italy. He would not work in the Milito/Drogba/Lukaku role.

    Willian Jose

    Respectfully disagree. 55 goals in 144 La Liga games is far from mediocre. That is perfectly fine. He is a strong central forward that aside from shipping in with a decent amount of goals creates space for his teammates to score by sucking up attention from the defenders. Like Mourinho has...

    Willian Jose

    How is Jose not what Mourinho is after? His playing style is the one Jose has used for most of his center forwards.

    Willian Jose

    I read something the other day that explained it like 30% of the fee going to stellar so that when he arrives at Spurs we would own him 100%. Since third party ownership is not allowed in the Premier League. And as you said, Barnett and Levy get along so that should not be much of an issue if...

    Tottenham star suggests that team-mate is behind talk of squad unrest

    I figured it was Rebecca Vardy. Get Coleen Rooney on the case.

    I don't. I loved Llorente but Willian José is better right now.

    Agreed. No need to crucify a 19 year old for a simple mistake. Particularly when we were able to get the win either way. Mistakes happen. The important thing is that Ryan learns from it.

    Werner is also most likely not the striker profile we are looking for. Werner is small and quick. We're looking for a proper number 9.

    Willian Jose

    He's good. He's a strong target man. A Giroud or Diego Costa with a bit of skill. He's exactly the type of target man Mourinho likes. He'll do the dirty work, contribute with a few goals and create space for Son and Lucas and Dele to score in. And when Kane comes back Willian would be a...

    Willian Jose

    It's their business model. They don't stand in the way of a player moving as long as they get a fair fee for him. They also brought in Alexander Isak as his successor in the summer so they have been preparing for his exit for a while.
