    Probably yeah. I remember when we signed Sarr, he had almost identical stats to Camavinga, who had just signed for (or was about to sign for) Real.

    He was but he is also 73, so hopefully him leaving was a joint decision with him finally deciding to retire.

    Which is what the Athletic says we intend to do. "All of this, Spurs say, is part of a continuing “review of our football operations,” that “involves the restructuring of a number of departments”. These include the medical department. As for the recruitment side of things, Lange’s approach is...

    Or it means we no longer value their opinion. 2 of the scouts leaving were here during our worst transfer record in recent years, 1 had only been here 18 months. I can't seem to find any info on the other 2.

    At least 2 of the scouts leaving were here when we signed Ndombele, so not sure it will have a negative impact.

    The England Thread

    Easy decision. A lot of people lamenting that Harry Redknapp never got the job, but why have the main, when you can have the pudding.

    The England Thread

    Italia 90 we played Netherlands who had the Koeman brothers, Gullit, Rijkaard and van Basten at their peak. We also played Cameroon, who beat finalists Argentina in the group stage. In Euro 96, we played Netherlands and Spain.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Fair enough, I think we have just seen different games where he was played in a different way, as the games I saw him, he was the striker playing off the shoulder and Kouame would be a little deeper and make runs from deep (a bit like Dele, but maybe not starting as deep). Zirkzee would...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    I really like Soule, but I think, just like Lamela, his dribbling skills won't transfer to the PL, as he, IMO, isn't quick enough out wide and isn't strong enough centrally for his dribbling style. I agree in regards to his vision and passing, but we already have a RW that is better suited...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Ferguson and Calafiori are decent with 69th percentile (slightly less than Sarr and Bissouma) and 87th percentile (same as VdV) respectively, but the rest are 50th and under.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    They really aren't great at progressing the ball forward. None of there regular starters in CM or CB are in a higher percentile in their relative positions for progressive passes than 54th. For comparison, we don have a player that is a regular starter in any of those positions that is under the...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Last summer, I would have agreed that Zirkzee (based on his time at Bologna) wasn't suited, but whether it's because we haven't fully adapted to Ange's tactics, haven't got the right style of winger or just because the EPL is a different beast to the SPL, I'm no longer sure a "fox in the box"...

    Yes, muscle injuries, due to muscles suddenly being overused or underused/weakened but not cartilage injuries, which is what he has. I read somewhere that the chance of tearing your Meniscus in the opposite knee (to the one previously torn) is a fraction of a %, so it surprising.

    Only there 3 in attack and they have gone for a more defensive DM, but their GK, back 4 and 2 CMs are 1st choice.
