Lo celso is an obligation to buy if we finish in the European positions.

Obligation if we're in the champions League, option to buy in the Europa. Jose seems to like him anyway so I'm sure we'll push ahead with the deal.

@tmar How come you marked my post as spam, mate? If you want to quote me and explain why I'm a witless fuckwit, that's cool, but it's not like I'm offering boner pills.

I wonder if Jose would buy some boner pills from me..
Didn't even mean to

Where did you read/hear the part in bold, all reports I've seen say its an obligation to buy if we qualify for a European competition regardless of if it is CL or EL?

For Saturday I'm hoping for something along the lines of

Gazzinga
Foyth Toby Verts (if able) Sess
Dier
Ndombele Lo Celso
Alli Kane Son

Most likely wont happen and we'll have Sanchez, Davies and Eriksen playing..

Just going by these posts and a few other comments, but I may have misinterpreted it.

He saying all the right things
to ingratiate himself
with the supporters
Tottenham pyjamas etc.
so would be surprised to see
any contract rebels starting.

But he needs to win this so.....
.or at least not lose.

Lucas seems to think he’ll get more games as Mourinho has tried to sign him twice.

If you look closely at the training drill, looks like a 4-3-3. He didnt have ll the players at his disposal but wouldnt bet against Dier starting CDM tomorrow and Lucas being out wide.

Jose will want to get a core of players on board and start to form his spine.

Taking out the obvious players who are guaranteed to start.

Dier is an obvious one, plays a role Jose loves, hasn't been used for a long time, friends with other key players, speaks Portuguese etc.

Makes a lot of sense to really get Dier on side and not just from a footballing perspective.

That’s a really good point about sorting out the spine of his team, I hadn’t thought of it like that. He just needs the players to perform for him now.

I hope with Dier, if he’s pinning a lot of hopes on him, gives him time because he hasn’t had much football. Also that he asks him to be a pure destroyer in front of the back four. Nothing else, nothing fancy except give the ball to other to play. Once he’s asked to do more than that and be more expressive with his passing is when his weaknesses in midfield are exposed.

We are finally seeing the shape of a very good starting 11. It's not fully there yet I believe but it needs only minor tweaks from here. To me, remaining questions are best CB pairing, best CM pairing and best LB. Beyond that maybe a new goalie, even if I don't actively have anything against Gazzaniga.
