    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    A lot of work to be done this summer so it matters somewhat. But a day or two here or there probably doesn't matter much and these things will typically take some time. Good thing about getting someone from the PL is that he'll already have good knowledge about the squad.

    Mikey Moore

    As we saw with Bergvall the distance from not quite being at the level to thriving doesn't have to be that long. I agree that with us being in the CL a loan probably will be the best option. But he's a special talent and even when he was hooked at half time etc it was mostly from a lack of...

    Mikey Moore

    Seems like we've been getting a lot of our loans right recently. I think it's difficult to know, particularly from the outside, what level of football he's currently ready for. Agreed it's important that he doesn't go somewhere to end up just sitting on the bench. But that doesn't just mean...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Yeah most of our wide players probably would do better in a non touchline hugging role. Odob maybe the exception, but should suit a number of roles. Given flexibility of approach being one of Frank's strong sides difficult to predict who will suit him and not. Perhaps makes some squad decisions...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Absolutely. And probably some big decisions to be made both on incoming and outgoing transfers. Evaluations to be done on who will fit his Spurs team and who won't. We've come quite a way since Ange arrived two years ago, we're not a mess. But still a big job ahead.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Also had a throw in coach, for a while at least, not sure if permanently. Very much a "modern" approach. All the little details and potential edges to be gained. I like that.

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    Often struggles in the league too when his teams are in Europe iirc. He's a good example of how big the difference between being in and not in Europe can be. And from that how having concerns about a manager that's never managed that before are relevant. But anyone we could appoint will have...

    Ange departs

    I can understand the decision even though not in full agreement in it. Really appreciate him for a lot of what he's done for us. The trophy obviously, but not just that. He dared, he gave us some fantastic games and moments. Integrated a ton of young players and oversaw a huge turnover in...

    Thank you Ange.

    Squad

    Yeah, seems like we're in disagreement here. I acknowledge that Ange's system has flaws. But I don't think the inherent flaws are significantly greater than that of other systems. It depends mostly on the quality of players and as importantly the fit of the players to the system and style. And...

    Ange departs

    You don't want to come here, cool. Not going to pay over the odds. We'll find someone else and be good without you (paraphrase of what Ange has said and what Maddison said Ange said to him). I really like that approach. There may be times when going over the top is the way to go, but it...

    Contingency planning : we've found our guy

    Fully agreed. I think our squad is the best it's been since the CL final. Particularly if factoring in age and potential. Keep buying well. Get a mix of here and now ready made while also adding more players with top level potential and we'll keep heading in the right direction. I think Ange...

    Transfer thread

    Madueke would be an excellent signing (insert qualifiers about being able to afford, sign etc). Mitoma too of course, but would probably be massively expensive.

    Squad

    Let me try to rephrase my point, maybe that will clear up misunderstandings and/or clarify where we disagree. The problem isn't numbers (apart from a couple of positions as you say). And it isn't how "good" the players are (apart from a couple of positions perhaps and lacking one or two "elite"...

    Ange departs

    We've seen how he's adjusted in domestic competitions, particularly up against City and Liverpool. We've seen how he's adjusted in the EL. And it's not like all his previous jobs have been at top clubs/teams either. He'd also have the benefits of mostly having a week between games and lower...

    Squad

    Sure, if you disregard all the other basics that would be all of them.

    Son Heung-Min

    I think this summer may be the right time for him to move on. Definitely will have mixed feelings over that if it happens. Even just saying it gives me mixed feelings...

    Leroy Sané

    Perhaps. Alternatively (or additionally) he too knows that he's 29, has had his injuries, lost a bit of pace and won't thrive in the PL - particularly if being a regular starter for a high pressing team.

    Ange departs

    Howe now again "looks good", having gotten Saudi Sportswashing Machine 5th and a trophy. But who would have wanted him when he struggled with injuries and combining PL and Europe and there was talk about him getting sacked last season. Silva now looks good, as he did when at Watford. Who would have wanted him...

    Donna Cullen gone...first of the changes?

    A summer of many changes it seems. Hope we'll heve some real clear thinking on transfers and on the medical/fitness side going into the window and preseason.
