If Winks doesn't offer ball progression from deep then surely he doesn't offer anything at all.
I think Dier is a bigger part of the problem than he gets credit for. He is not a good passer, looks long way too often considering he is horribly inaccurate with it. That works if you are Toby, but...
We are still just terrible. No passing from the back, no semblance of possession structure. Luckily this Leeds team is so poor they might allow us to hang around for an odd moment of brilliance from Kane/Son.
I feel like this is going to go to one extreme or the other. Either we throttle them and Kane gets going or we don’t score at all and probably lose a dire game. Saint Maximin will give our defense absolute fits. Not looking forward to it.
Those are both good players, even if not really match fit. I don’t really buy into the view that we need tons of options in every position. That’s not realistic and the system (with squad limits) is setup to prevent it - otherwise city, Chelsea, and Newcastle (soon?) would just have 35 man...
Lloris - 7 - Not too much to do actually
Tanganga - 9 - They attacked at him basically the whole game with the 100m man and created ~nothing. MOTM.
Dier - 8.5 - No mistakes. Jose would be proud...
Sanchez - 9 - Best I've seen him play honestly
Reguilon - 7.5 - Good performance. Not as much to do...
This sounds like a lot of money for much less than a sure thing. If I had to pick someone there, I’d rather take a punt on their Argentine Lad that plays either CB or RB.
Kane needs a break physically after a very long season. I can’t imagine he will be paid for refusing to work. If he is out til the window closes and gets an unpaid break to recuperate, that is honestly not too bad for us. It’s not like he will refuse to play til January.
We should tell them we will work a loan deal for Tomiyasu if they let us finally get Romero.
and then loan him out to Atlanta (United) and act like it was a clerical error. After all, we owe their potential new manager -none other than Paulo Fonseca.
The odds gotta be like 3/1 that when Tomiyasu actually signs the Spurs official Twitter announces him as “Japanese Lad”. It’s like he doesn’t have a name.
Neither was Bale. It is in the clubs interest to not let that sort of news out until signings are done, so even if top sources say that it could just be a tactical move.
I hope the news is correct and the club don’t do a 180 (unless the money is ridiculous).
A player like Romero is essential...
that price smells like kane money. we absolutely have to land a top CB though. we can take a gamble on others, but we need at least one nailed on starter. even at that price i hope it happens.
Indeed, but I will maintain a healthy level of skepticism until the players are holding the shirt.
It would be a real surprise if we wrapped up a striker before a CB. Hopefully means it’s a deal we feel really good about.
I must admit, I haven't seen much of Aouar. I know he has been one of the more talked about players in terms of transfers. Looks like he has got two years left on his deal, which probably makes a sale more likely. Most of all I like that Arsenal have been coveting this guy for two years, so...
fbref lists Ben Davies as one of the players most similar to him.
Before you overreact, that’s not meant as a criticism, I just thought it was kind of funny.
