    Half-Season Review - The 45-Minute Wonders?

    As in? We are in the position to pay other clubs' players to not kick some of ours? Which injuries have we picked up this year that should have been 'pro-actively reduced'? Or that should have healed sooner?

    Half-Season Review - The 45-Minute Wonders?

    This is an extremely puzzling comment when you look at what we as a club have been doing in the last five to eight years or so. Investing in the facilities has been our priority first and foremost - stadium, training ground. Do you really think we have held on to or appointed support staff...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Our best outfield player once again, week in week out right now. Brilliant second half from Bentancur.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Our best player once again, always playing the direct forward pass when he can. First name on the teamsheet.

    Emerson Royal

    How long is Emerson suspended for? Three games in the PL?

    Antonio Conte - officially NOT the coach of THFC

    Skipp has not been fit, and Bissouma has not adapted well enough yet to call for a three-man midfield on a regular basis. Surely Conte has seen how we have been overrun at times in the middle, but perhaps this partly explains why he has been calling for patience. He must know we have been lucky...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Saw quite a few negative comments about him in the match thread, but I thought this was another strong game from Bentancur - not just the well-taken goal (with a slice of good fortune) and the assist for Sonny's first, but more generally his positioning without the ball, and his sharp eye for...

    Emerson Royal

    I thought he was our best player on the night until the red card. Did everything right defensively in the first half, and was instrumental in creating the situation that resulted in the dismissal.

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    MotM for me today - great vision to snuff out potential danger in midfield, and great stamina to keep plugging gaps in the second half when Fulham finally came forward a little more. The one thing I would have wished for in the transfer window was a commanding CM, but on today's showing, in...

    Fixture & Ticket News 2022/23

    Got two tickets for the Wolves game, taking my son to N17 for the first time. Also my own first visit to the new stadium after 40 or so to games at WHL. Any advice on what to do on matchday that is different to games at the Lane? I am looking forward to walking up the High Road from Seven...

    Giovani Lo Celso

    Maybe Paratici could have sold him for a small fee/obligation to buy (15m) if he had wanted to, but I think we will bank on GLC being a starter for Argentina in Qatar, which may generate much more revenue come January. Don't know if we paid all of the instalments of the amount we agreed with...

    Clement Lenglet

    I still have some hope that we will land one of those three this summer to make the most of making the Top-4 this year.

    Clement Lenglet

    That is the main reason why I am still on the fence regarding Lenglet, even though Conte likes him. In the second half of last season, our three-man defence was particularly good at defending. In spite of the odd long ball from Dier, and the eagerness to join the attack when possible from Davies...

    Clement Lenglet

    Yes and no. It makes sense that, with the squad leaving for Korea tomorrow, people expect Lenglet and Spence to be announced today.
  16. Hotspur75

    Clement Lenglet

    Yes, all good points. I also think we want to sign another CB, in addition to Lenglet. A few options: 1) we could buy an upcoming CB with Lenglet filling in the position for this season - although it appears that this is not how Conte works; 2) we are not sure we can get Bremer, Bastoni or Pau...

    Gleison Bremer

    Unless there is already an understanding that Bremer to Inter enables us to move for Bastoni. Still the number one target at LCB I hope.

    Transfer thread

    Yes, HG-quota is a good prediction tool, because we know that the Club must be keeping an eye on this too. I don't think Conte is counting on either Gil or Sarr this season, and GLC/Ndombele are certainly not in his plans. So 1 must be the number right now - post-Lenglet. If we assume that we...

    Transfer thread

    So assuming reports on Bergwijn are correct, this is where we stand today: IN: Richarlison, 60m; Bissouma, 29m; Perisic, free; Forster, free. Total: 89m OUT: Bergwijn, 30m; CCV, 6m. Total: 36m Balance: 53m For every Spence (15m?), there is likely to be a Winks. Would be even better if we...
