We all knew at least one deal like this would happen when we brought in Mourinho. An ill-advised 'win-now' move that would burden the club with an ill-fitting player who couldn't be moved on that would end up out-lasting Mourinho. It was quite literally the most obvious move the club would make...
We basically can’t loan Rodon right now. If the international travel situation doesn’t get a resolution from the Government it’s going to be a struggle to get Romero into the team with any regularity before January. Even Sanchez starts to become problematic. And that’s already assuming they take...
Could any of our soon-to-be four RBs play as a nine? Listen, Dembele was playing as a RW as late as 2014. Anything can happen. Dohertino does make those deceptive runs in behind and that’s definitely not his only visually perceptible quality.
This is a big red flag for another reason. Wittman was the agent behind the Max Meyer debacle. Ran down his contract at Schalke making outlandish claims and demands about how Meyer should be paid like a top champions league starting caliber player, constantly planting stories linking him with...
'Got rid' is the wrong way of looking at it, i think. They are also selling Kounde to Chavs, arguably the top young CB talent in the world who started all season for them last year. Not because they want to but because they have to. They are a selling club and need to fund ongoing operations and...
This situation reminds me of Riqui Puig. How he looked like he might be the missing piece a few years ago and how he could be Pochettino's dream to coach. But then he used us to leverage Barca into a better offer and more concrete promises of first team promotion. Now Puig's career is...
DId we accidentally find our new number ten? Man he looked surprisingly good centrally finding those pockets of space Eriksen used to get in. Wand of a left foot too. Just wish he could hit FKs and corners...
Without getting too far into this, Hojbjerg for me is not elite playing as a 6 and I’ve got a lot of concerns with the notion floating around in these parts that 4-3-3 means you can just play whoever in whichever midfield spot because there are three of them. If that was true (it isn’t) and...
That seems a bit harsh, but I'll admit the Pacos performance of Doherty and Winks, a game both should have dominated, particularly Doherty with no real threat on the right and plenty of possession, was one of the worst single game performances relative to expectations by any one Spurs player...
I understand what you're going for in that Gil has more upside and potential as a wonderkid than Vinicius ever had. Replacing Lamela with Gil was a good strategic move, regardless of whether Gil pans out. It was Coco's time to go and we got probably the best deal we could get. Getting Romero in...
I really like McKennie at that price. It’s all relative. The xG addition alone from having him on set pieces and corners, particularly against mid table and lower league teams, is worth 25-30 million.
That said, if this is the result of an N’Dombele swap, Kessie is a much better fit for what...
