After the last 20 years, your post reads as a wet-dream.
I know crazy but that was us.
After the last 20 years, your post reads as a wet-dream.
Been very consistent since their defeat to Mainz back in Feb.On the topic of newer managers, what do you make of Xabi Alonso? Got to say he is really impressing me lately at Leverkusen. The win over Nagelsmamn’s BM was excellent. Obviously he’s still very new and I’m not suggesting we go for him, but he does look extremely promising.
Fair point, although we do know how he's done going into Chelsea and it's piss poor.Possibly right. We don’t know what his season at Brighton would have been like with his new signings and the platform he had created.
"smug faced arrogant tosser".......He's really not at all. I think its simply a false perception imoSlot is the Jol/Poch hybrid this club needs. A guy who plays attacking football and a man who will connect with the fans. Nagelsmann on the other hand is a smug faced arrogant tosser, who whilst talented clearly knows it and would be another of the Spurs are lucky to have me brigade.
I really see Potter going to Leicester unless his agent is now on bad terms with them after they sacked Rodgers. I think it would be a perfect fit for both parties. I’d be very interested to see how he does there as I, like you, have many reservations.Agree with all your choices and good points about each manager. My number one choice would be Nagelsmann followed by Almorin.
I like Gallardo but i wonder if he can pull off the same in Europe espically the EPL. Also the language barrier he probably be my 3rd choice.
My fear though is Levy will go for Potter now, his team play lovely football but that's 2 teams his managed and they struggle to score. I know both teams lacked an out and out goalscorer but you look at Bayern Munich goal total this season without Lewandowsi.
I think it's going to be a long wait till we are put out of our misery snd lots of twists and turns to come.
I think even Levy wouldn't dare go for Brenton after his last 2 seasons at Leicester.People are laughing but this is most likely to happen
I think it will come down to Leicester's finances, really. Haven't they been in a bit of a mess and the main reason they didn't sack Rodgers earlier was simply because they could barely afford to pay him off?I really see Potter going to Leicester unless his agent is now on bad terms with them after they sacked Rodgers. I think it would be a perfect fit for both parties. I’d be very interested to see how he does there as I, like you, have many reservations.
Agreed, if I were going to take anything from Brighton it would be their player identification and scouting process.And yet De zerbi has come in and taken Brighton to a whole new level. I'm convinced Brighton is on the whole down to the hierarchy more than the manager and yet De Zerbi has moved them forward very quickly, as will the guy who replaces him at Chelsea.
Please do, I’ve read the post twice & I'm confused as fu*k where it’s going.His head looks like a thumb, and his name is Slot which is ironic because I……..
Actually not going to finish that sentence!
Imo, Potter doesn’t play career roulette with Leicester.
Imagine taking the reins and then they get relegated. That blemish stays on your CV even if you only managed the final 10 games.
He could easily hold out for 6 months and take the first Prem managers job to be sacked in and around October.
You could easily see him taking the West Ham/Leeds job in October.
The Chelsea/Potter debacle does serve as a reminder that reputations stand for nothing in football. Here today, gone tomorrow.
Cruel industry when all is said and done.
You see, for me, recruitment is just one of the many moving parts.Agreed, if I were going to take anything from Brighton it would be their player identification and scouting process.
Hasn’t he also worked abroad? Did I read Sweden?Agreed – I also think that, whether we want him or not, he'll be put off working at Spurs from his experience at Chelsea. Leeds, West Ham would be very good fits for him. Or even Leicester in the summer if/when they stay up.
Slot: An attacking team that can be suspect at the back. That’s about as Tottenham DNA as we’re likely to get
TBF, I think WB isn't a role you have a starter, not if you want to complete over many games, you need the ability to rotate as they cover more ground than the rest of the team.You see, for me, recruitment is just one of the moving parts.
It’s the clubs vision which aligns with all departments which is the true sum of its parts.
No good having an unbelievable recruitment team if the players being signed don’t match the managers style of play. It really is a well oiled wheel at Brighton.
Take Spurs for example, Spence on the surface looked like an unbelievable signing and most of us were buzzing we’d got such a talent for a reasonable fee. Fast forward a season and due to our lack of forward planning, we’ve not got 3 RB/RWB costing a total of 90’m and it’s still no clearer who the long term starter will be.
Don’t even pick the Doherty to Athletico scab - how not to do business.
Can't we just take Paul Barber instead then...please....
I was trying to make the point (badly) that we have holes all over the squad, yet at one point we have 4 right sided defenders who were all signed in the last 3 years, at a cost of circa £100m.TBF, I think WB isn't a role you have a starter, not if you want to complete over many games, you need the ability to rotate as they cover more ground than the rest of the team.
Spence is one for the future - I don't have the same level of annoyance over him not playing now, or signing him that others do - just that he should have gone straight out on loan. We don't buy up enough young HG talent, and the squad planning needs to be future thinking, not just for the current manager in a world where they all only last max 2 years anywhere.
