Pre-Season 2024/25

[Westmorlandspur]

New rumours of Richy to Saudi.

Kulusevski playing all his minutes in cm so far.

Son no. 9.

Four wingers being Johnson, Werner, Solomon, Moore.

Those left wingers feel like the big weakness right now.

Son moving left and Rcihy/new 9 makes us significantly stronger, or looking for a top left winger.

The midfield options with Kulusevski playing there seem too many?

Maddison, Kulusevski, Sarr, Bissouma, Bentancur, Højbjerg, Skipp, Bergvall, Gray, Devine, Donley, Hall.

That's a lot of players... assume Højbjerg goes, but what else?

Hall is nowhere near the first team as an option. Donley neither. As we have paid money for Gray and Bergvall they will be in the shake up for Europa. Skipp could easily go. If we buy Neto I would think Deki could go as well. As someone once said, you can’t have too many good players.
As regards Gray, I would think he could be first choice by Xmas .Top class player

 

[Westmorlandspur]

Yeah but we also need to be more ruthless with the 1st team members we already have . The squad needs trimming big time . There are at least 5-6 players that have been here many seasons that need shifting and the money would definitely come in handy now so we can improve not the squad , but the 1st 11

Emerson, Reggie, Gil and Lo Celso all need to go this summer, at least Pierre is almost gone.
We are doing ok so far and still 6 weeks to go.

 

[Westmorlandspur]

I find it a weird signing tbh. He looks v technically limited. Takes several goes to control the ball. Seems an odd ayer to pick out of all the gifted forwards in South America

Gifted forwards cost a lot more than he did.

 

[WiganSpur]

Ski


Skipp is acutely right footed, lacking pace and prone to mistimed tackles. Never a left back option.

Course not but who else we got atm? No VDV or Udogie and Davies won’t play every minute

 

[WiganSpur]

The inverted role looks to have brought to light passing and vision I never thought he had

 

[Coolpudge]

Carried on his good form from the Hearts game. He did really well at one point to get back and put in a crucial block.

At the 2 minute 44 second mark.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

At the 2 minute 44 second mark.

43 seconds skill was filthy.

Also Ange will love Spences recovery pace with our super high line.

If he can defend well enough then surely he becomes back-up to Porro along with Gray and we sell Emerson.

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I don't know about any more plane tracking...

But, I am very curious to see the video of who gets on the plane tomorrow.

 

[GioW]

Anyone know when we're expecting Vicario and Dragusin back?

 

[Bluto Blutarsky]

I'm expecting them to be on the plane...

I don't know when Spurs are expecting them back.

(But I think I had read earlier that both would be making the trip - outside chance they fly out a day or 2 later.)

I’m most curious about Spence tbh and if Udogie and Richy are fit enough to travel. The majority I think one can have a pretty solid guess at but taking Spence would certainly be a big boost to his chances of staying next season.

Yeah they'd have both technically had their 3 weeks (actually think Dragusin would be a day short but yeah)

Yeah - I think Spence is one, and then some of the academy players.

I assume Moore, Donley, Devine, Lankshear - maybe Hall?

By the same token - I assume Bryan and Reguilon will not be on the plane - hopefully to speed up movement for their futures.

I think you’re spot on. I reckon Abbott will go as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if Ange is looking towards the youth team for potential LB options in case we don’t end up bringing one in the window.

Romero and GLC still have two weeks off from today. Doubt they will make them fly all the way over there for the Bayern game. Think Ange said Richy won’t be ready for the tour so he may stay behind too.

 

[InOffMeLeftShin]

Just landed in Tokyo and it is steaming hot. 35C but with a relative temp of 45C according to my weather app. Whatever it is, it is hot and the training this week is going to be draining if they keep up the normal Ange intensity.

Can't be any worse than the infamous Conte session surely?

 

[NickHSpurs]

I’m really hoping Spence can continue with this attitude and form, I was excited when we signed him and if he keeps this up there’s some serious minutes available for him to play with Royal seemingly off.

I completely agree. I'd love him to play his way back in and someone who Ange can rely on
