    You're right we did need HG, just a shame we couldn't identify better in the case of Johnson (and there are numerous) or negotiate better with Solanke, but as I say Solanke is a little overpriced but theres still a chance with a different coach and better playing system that he can be succesful.

    Sure, but thats when you take stock and question if the prices match the quality. I remember saying in the summer that Solanke was very expensive for a player who in reality had shown promise at earlier stages of his career but in reality had only had one good season. Johnson was just way...

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    Harry was one of the very best wheeler dealers. Just remember his run at West Ham achieving over expectations. There is absolutely no reason to think he could not and would not have bought and sold just as well at Spurs if allowed to do so. We see with the players brought in under his tenure we...

    You're Daniel Levy, do you do what is best for the club or do you let your pride or ego make your decisions for you...

    Contingency planning : When Ange is sacked, who should replace him?

    Harry also wasn't stupid, he knew intimately the limitations and restrictions the club put on its ambitions. As that famous January window of Saha and Nelson demonstrated. I have no problem with him flirting with England, he didn't get the opportunity too bad, that's not a reason to sack a on...

    That doesn't mean they were good buys or that we should have bought them in the first place. Solanke excepted because he still has a chance of being good given the right circumstances.

    Ange in or out?

    I think limiting ourselves to looking at the PL alone is a mistake. The likes of Glassner, Silva, Emery, Klopp, Poch etc etc didn't have PL experience until they got it. Its not PL experience that makes a good coach, it's actually being a good coach first and foremost. Yes that requires some...

    Richarlison

    Let him play 38 games and you will see there certainly is a pack of quality. Even with the few games he's played you can see he lack quality, the poor touch, the poor control, the terrible attempts at dribbling etc. This is not a top level forward. I'm going to say that time old cliched thing...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    For me if all of those things played out he would be back in my good books. I have nothing personal against him, I just think he's too much of an ideologue and hasn't taken stock of the materials he has had available to him. So for all of that to flip around he would have had to have taken stock...

    Madison doesn't have that quick switch long pass either. Or if he does he never demonstrates it.

    Archie Gray

    He said himself, he doesn't really believe in dedicated DMs. His intention is for the entire team and midfield to pick up the responsibility. He ideally wants a baller first who has some defensive nous but sees it as a responsibility of the entire team.

    For less than the reported price. 👍

    Luka Vuskovic

    There's nothing stopping 18 starting top tier games. Cubasi is 18 years old, Varane was playing for Lens at 17 and bought by Real Madrid by the time he was 20. History is littered with good enough young players, so the truth either our young CBs are not good enough (maybe yet, maybe never) or...

    *** Tottenham Hotspur v Nottingham Forest ***

    Fantastic analogy, it really sums up what and where we are.

    Ange in or out?

    A good manager finds a solution, a great one finds success with their solutions. Ange has failed at doing both and I will once again say he knew what he was getting into with the choices he made. Remember Ange made great pains to take ownership of the transfer business. So that missing CB he...

    Ange in or out?

    This list is nowhere near as good as you think it is. No bonafide successes but yes a bunch of young potentials so who knows where they will end up and a bag of failures and not good enoughs. Probably fairly standard in terms of hit or miss for most clubs tbh.

    Ange in or out?

    Whilst I do agree and truly I wanted it to work with Ange. I do think it would take some relatively minor adjustments to make his system more productive, i do think that part of the issue is we wouldn't score the number of goals we do without the slightly suicidal way we've played for the...

    Richarlison

    My issue with Richy is no matter how well you set up a team to suit a fox in the box role at the top end of the game you need more than that. No top team is playing with a striker with such poor control and overall baggy use of the ball. In tight games, in tight moments you need a technician...

    Mathys Tel

    I agree with the principle but we have tons of depth on the left (not necessarily quality but that's another debate) and none on the right. For the left we potentially have Son, Odobert, Moore, Solomon and Gil without even adding Tel. Now of course some of them might go but with a new coach...

    Yes another positive performance from the man Tel. If this continues and he can ad some tangible results the fee might and I say might be justifiable.
