If we don't sign one (which is beyond ridiculous and just frustrates me everytime i think of it sorry) then I'd play Toby there over Dier. Especially in the big games. My mate is a huge Utd fan and said there were some rumblings amoungst their lot and ITK that him and Bentaleb were being targeted in the game to capitalise on their inexperience and lack of concentration... It's fair to say it worked. That will keep happening IMO. Major weakness. At least Toby is a very calming presence on the ball and reads the game well.

Yeah, we definitely got burned in midfield. That one shot on target was hard to endure. Bentalebs mistake was bad but an unenforced error.

Anyways, this is the ITK thread and not a thread in Spurs Chat about what went wrong.

Any chance you could explain the plot of True Detective to me JJ, @Spurger King has tried several times but he keeps getting the fucking names mixed and just ends up confusing me even more.

That's actually become a serious concern for me over the last weeks. Why the hell can't I remember her bloody name?! ANI, ANI, ANI, ANI, ANI....

"Lori was involved in yet another dull scene tonight."

That's the real mystery. Who the fuck is Lori?

What if Poch has decided we dont need a CM because he could convert Dier successfully?

Some of the best best players started out in unfamiliar positions. Gerrard played fb, Sol Campbell played up top and Henry was a left winger

Based on some of Dier's passes at Old Trafford I doubt it would be an opinion that would last long.

Nah I agree that we should play Toby in midfield if there is nothing else, but the chances of that happening seem next to nothing
There seems a vague undertone of...of...well not optimism...not hope...but well and undertone of not total despair and impending doom to your posts today mate. I like it

I'm all about multi-positional players and seeing other positional possibilities in players that aren't typically associated with them. Its importance will grow in the game.

People on here are seemingly unaware of how much poch is into that and how flexible his thinking is on this, hence they are perplexed at some of my adventurous team selections.

They'll see though.

Not ITK but i stopped watching the second series after the first 3 as not a patch on the first !
Berahino deal is still a maybe at this stage as we are always assessing our options.
It will probably be announced now that I've said that and i'm made to look silly.
You will will notice a lot of 'could' and 'probably' and 'maybe' this year which is a self preservation requirement for when things bloody change!

Maybe.


Ill meet you in the dier for cm thread ;)
Toby is, naturally, a better fit. His range of passing is exceptional, he reads the game extremely well and is great positionally and has good composure and assuredness.

He's the most natural choice if we don't get a CM in imo.

Tell me about it; utter poverty.

Why is signing a decent CM still up in the air. This for me remaind the biggest priority of the window bar a decent CB. If we don't sign one I will be apoleptic. I thought we were supposed to be learning from the mistakes of past windows. Isn't Mitchell supposed to uncover hidden gems.

I'm generally quite positive, but if we don't get one in I will be astonished. I mean plPoch clearly would like one given his desire for Schneiderlin.
