Noticed that Eriksen had liked a couple of the Spurs instagram posts announcing the Ndombele signing. Probably means absolutely nothing, but found it interesting all the same.
Yeah the Ndombele high is already wearing off slightly, and I'm beginning to worry that we're going to bring in a few before offloading Toby and Eriksen to balance the books again. Keeping those two, whilst adding Ndombele, Sessegnon, a RB and Lo Celso/Ceballos leaves us in a position to have a go at the title if things go our way. If we add those players but lose Eriksen and Toby I'm with you in that we quite possibly end the window a little weaker than we started it, albeit maybe with a better balanced squad.I’m sure it means, nothing, but the more I think about it the more downbeat I’m getting about him leaving.
If anything, the signing of Ndombele has made me feel worse about it. Keeping Toby and Eriksen and adding Ndombele could really move us forward a level, but if Eriksen leaves I can’t help feel it’s one step forward and one step back again. Even if we add one or two of the midfielders we’ve been linked with.
We were so painfully slow transitioning the ball from defense to attack this year. Ndombele speeds up that link meaning he could feed Eriksen earlier between the lines meaning the defense isn't set for Son, Kane & Dele making runs.
I just want clarity. Would be good to have a season without speculation around the manager or senior players constantly

I do not think it’s a step back rather than a change in style of how we play. The in the hole playmaker is being used less and less and more box to box midfielders are being used. Look at Liverpool, they sold coutinho but have improved as bought keita and fabinho. We could go with a strong three man midfield. Don’t get me wrong I love eriksen and preferred he stayed but I’m not sure he fits how we want to play long term
Yeah I know what you mean and I was having a similar discussion with another Spurs fan at work using Liverpool method as an example. No real playmaker, but a midfield that transitions play very quickly to the front players to do the damage.
The only issue is their fullbacks are far more productive than ours and provide a lot of assists to make up for that lack of a playmaker.
If that were the case we would be doing things wrong, our top players and manager get linked away because they are good.
Renew his contract with sell clause next year if we don't win a trophy. 80m which is what we get for him this summer. Then, we get to keep Eriksen for another season, he's able to perform as he'll have a quality midfied behind him and if we don't win a trophy we cash in for same amount as we will get this year. Oh yeah, also give him loyalty bonus of a couple million for signing new contact.
Poch has been utterly clear he wants to stay. He just jokes around with the press. Relieves the tedium of being asked the same question.Disagree. There is very rarely speculation around Klopp because he's made it clear he isn't going anywhere
Disagree. There is very rarely speculation around Klopp because he's made it clear he isn't going anywhere
