Very happy with the idea of Parrott being brought through. Son and Moura are exceptional up front too. Seems the logical step.
Sturridge would shatter during his first training session and we would end up wasting wages on an unmotivated crock.Thanks as always Herc! Personally i am minded to think Kane, Son, Moura and Parrott is enough cover for the CF role however i certainly wouldn't be against Llorente signing for another year or another experienced back up (i.e. Sturridge) coming in to bolster things.
Believe Llorente's agent came out in public and said they had absolutely zero intention of signing on again with Spurs
Last August i mentioned that MP wanted to promote/use more youth and i think looking at the squad yesterday we are starting to see that plan moving forward....
They were old quotes not recent. From memory it was around 18 months ago he said thatBelieve Llorente's agent came out in public and said they had absolutely zero intention of signing on again with Spurs

I'm liking the idea we could become known as a top club for youth to come to. A bit like the initial excitement when linked to some lad coming through the Ajax or Barca academy. Might give us a chance to catch the next Mbappe etc before the RM and Barca type clubs, if the kids think they could hit our first team squad earlier. We did hear that we have to play our transfers game different to the elite/money clubs.
To be fair a player like Llorente is worth his weight in gold, and last season proved that.
I nearly criticized you not realising you were an ITK. Why not go blue?A model where we fill supporting roles with talented youth and spend the right money to get in big talents can only be beneficial imo. We’ve been great in the Poch era but our only flaw has been the “squad role” signings of players like Nkoudou, Janssen etc. The youth we have right now can do a better job with the right motivation.

There is nothing wrong with a constructive criticism. Its a positive attributePlaying an out of form/injured Trippier/Wanyama over KWP/Skipp are just a couple of very regular examples from last season. That's not a criticism of Poch by the way, fucking love the man, just an observation.

We're above that sort of thing now, we'll leave that to West Ham.
I'd be happy to stick with what we've got, plus Lo Celso, who has played as a false nine before too.
Nope. Did you put the thread starter - White Dane - on Ignore?Did the Lo Celso player thread disappear for anyone else?

With all the positivity and possibility of superb incomings, I have a feeling the club is really on the push to try and win the league next season, especially when we were so close to winning the CL last season.
