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

    No, you're putting words in my mouth. I really rated Harry as a football coach. He had some amazing strengths. He just needed help in the areas he wasn't very good at because he had never managed at this level before. He wasn't in a position where he needed to scratch around an polish turds...

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

    For me, that was one of our best summers ever - Hugo, Verts, Dembele, Siggy, Dempsey although we made a mistake signing Adebayor permanently. Of course that was only achieved with the Modric, VDV, Corluka, Kranjcaer money. We still ended the summer with zero net spending.

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

    I went back and looked at Harry's final squad: Friedel, Gomes, Cudicini Kaboul, Gallas, Dawson, King, Walker, Ekotto, Nelson, Khumalo, Rose Bale, Huddlestone, Lennon, Parker, Modric, Kranjcaer, Livermore, Sandro, Bentley Defoe, VDV, Adebayor, Saha, Dos Santos On loan: Caulker, Naughton...

    Son Heung-Min

    The simple way I see it is that Sonny should never start 2 games in a week. He wouldn't have done either if we hadn't have had the injuries this season. A fresh Sonny is a menace. A fatigued Sonny isn't worth a starting shirt.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    So here's what I think is happening. From 2010, Spurs went through a tough decade that culminated in the eventual go-live of the stadium. However, we went straight into COVID and that delayed our plans by about 2 years. Perhaps the problem was that in the midst of all that chaos were 3 or 4...

    Richarlison

    Yeah, it's a good observation about Richi causing chaos to our benefit. What concerns me though is heading back to that dark place where we don't have two number nines. Whilst we had Janssen, Llorente, Vinicius etc passing through we went for years without a proper Kane backup. I'm not sure...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    It's a very difficult message. Ange (+players) aren't holding up their side of the bargain. I do hope fans can see the bigger picture of the transition the club is going through though. I still think some need reminding that it isn't just more of the same. We will come out of this phase very soon.

    Richarlison

    Richi's stats for Spursv recently are quite scarily good actually. This season 4 goals and 1 assist in 384 mins on the pitch in the league - contribution every 76 mins Last season 1493 mins, 11 goals, 4 assists - contribution every 99 mins Compare that to Solanke 7 goals, 3 assists in 2056...

    Cristian Romero

    Yeah, but you're making the assumption that it's either column A or column B. It's not. It's both. I'm not saying Romero isn't fallible. I'm saying that Ange's offside strategy in deeper positions isn't helping any of these guys to find theie peak. The worst defending I saw at the weekend was...

    Cristian Romero

    Watch more closely. Even check out the second goal on Sunday. Mass confusion from our defenders on the penalty spot line. Romero holds a line and makes a little step up. VDV is a yard deeper and should have been on the pivot in a normal season. He knows he must not do that in this setup...

    Cristian Romero

    You have to admit though that to mark a player and get goal side you are breaking the line? That's the challenge. I see it week in, week out with our defenders. The best they can do is be either left or right of the marker, but they are not coached to be behind them so they can switch left or...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I think the challenge is that Ange isn't in a position to say the bigger picture things. It's not fair on him to be the one to piece the story together of how the new stadium, the NFL franchise and the F1 karting is all geared towards the significant investment we've made in the playing squad...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    No game until Sunday and we need to keep Danso and Davies match fit in case we need them in EL. At the same time, we need to wrap Romero and VDV up in cotton wool. I think we all knew Forest would retreat back to their own 18 yard box and our centre halves wouldn't be massively under pressure...

    Ange in or out?

    It would be this time. He was a mercenary as a player and always took the money. He needs to show loyalty to Burnley if any offers comes his way.

    Cristian Romero

    Give Romero the latitude to mark players, sweep up behind the defence and use his natural instincts to defend and he's elite with perhaps the exception of in the air. Put him in a rigid offside system where first thought is to stay put and hold the line and you don't see the natural player that...

    Ange in or out?

    That's fair. What he probably needs on his CV is a decent stint at a club though. He did 2 seasons at Fulham and 1 season at both other clubs (so far). He needs to do what Howe, Dyche, Moyes or even Big Sam did with Bolton and stick with one club for a while. Then you see him through the...

    Transfer thread

    Keeley's challenge is that we bought him too late to get 3 years in before his 21st b'day. He joined from St Pats as a 19 year old. So even taking a 3rd choice keeper squad place means taking one of the non-homegrown slots. I think we are priming him for sale. Make a few quid.

    Yeah, was just using the official website to see the list of players. Pretty certain you are right. Can never remember whether Gil is in the same boat.

    Transfer thread

    Some transfer ideas: Centre mid: Joao Gomez Right forward: Dibling or Mbuemo or Cunha Left back: Kirkez Centre half: Guehi, Branthwaite Forward: Delap Youngster: Harry Gray Obviously, not all of them. There is no money tree at Spurs.

    Out: Forster, Whiteman, Davies, Reggie, Bissouma, Hojbjerg, Gil, Werner, Richi, Solomon, Veliz Others: Robson, Craig, Ashcroft, Cassanova, Gunter etc (keep the U21 spaces for constant promotion from the U18s) Critical keep vs sell decisions: Keeley, Phillips, Devine 1st team promotion Donley...
