    James Maddison

    I don't think the percentages are relevant. We paid £10m less than we should have for Maddison, they paid £10m less for Winks. Everyone's happy except Norwich...and possibly the taxman!

    You can't teach pace! There's something about his black boots as well. I think they make him look slower, which just adds to the deception.

    James Maddison

    15% apparently, so quid pro quo'ing £10M would have saved Leicester £1.5M. Tidy. Guess there may have been some tax savings too, but I don't know how that works.

    James Maddison

    You can argue that he was flattered by the players around him in the peak Poch team, but he still bossed midfield against Real -- the lad's got talent, just not quite enough to make a midfield pairing with Sissoko. With all sorts of random CMs going for way more than that, Winks for £10m is a...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Reminds me of my brand-conscious sister getting a hideous Lexus SUV. She really doesn't appreciate me calling it a Toyota.

    Robbie Keane too :rolleyes:

    Dejan Kulusevski

    Having two players on that wing with such different styles and abilities would be a real bonus, assuming that they form a solid partnership. Like Corluka and Lennon :-)

    Dejan Kulusevski

    He really was! Some of his drop in form could well be due to the opposition doing their homework on him.

    Ivan Perisic

    Oops. I had the wrong one too.

    Cann we?

    Here's one for you. We're actually not doing all that much better than we started last season. This is the table at the end of 17th September 2022, with us top alongside Emirates Marketing Project, before Arsenal won their fixture that weekend. So let's not get too carried away. It could all go tits up very...

    As long as we don't turn on them when the mistakes and goals inevitably happen. As you say, we have no right to expect such a young and inexperienced defence to work so well so quickly.

    Ivan Perisic

    I've never really watched Jota for a full game, but he's always had a knack for scoring goals.

    Is that because their stadium is too small for a bus?

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Liverpool OMT***

    I sometimes wonder whether Levy was bullied at school, the small kid, always picked last. "One day..." he vowed, and now he takes zero bricks from anyone.

    I watched an interview the other day -- the one in a car, probably a page or through earlier in this thread -- where he said he used to watch videos of Verts, possibly even modelling his game on him. I mean, they're both Dutch left-footed centre backs after all. Bodes well.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    We can probably discuss this for hours, but I see Maddison's role being much closer to Eriksen's than Dele's -- an attacking playmaker with pressing responsibilities, trying to play balls through the defensive line. Under peak Poch, we used Dier to bolster CM when we were in possession, with...

    Paratici best signing?

    Not in last season's away derby -- Sarr was an unused sub and I think Kulu was injured: Arsenal 3-1 Spurs 1st Oct 2022 Lloris Romero Dier Lenglet Royal Hojbjerg Bentancur Perisic Richarlison Son Kane Subs used: Doherty, Skipp, Sanchez, Sessegnon, Bissouma Subs not used: Gil, Forster, Spence...

    Paratici best signing?

    Our starting XI against Arsenal had just two players (Sonny and Romero) who started the corresponding fixture last year. TWO. Even if you include the other three who were involved as substitutes (Richi, Bissouma, Hojbjerg), that's still some serious upheaval. Massive, massive credit to all...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Arsenal OMT***

    And people think Arsenal will be underestimating us! Whether or not you rate Legohead, the fact is that he's built a team that did everything but win the title last season. Jesus is back, and this season they've definitely upgraded their DM with Rice, regardless of how much he cost. Even if...

    ***TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR vs Arsenal OMT***

    Nah, we have a midfield trio that's working nicely so let's play our way and see if Arsenal can deal with it. Odegaard can't do anything without the ball. If it looks like it's not working, then we can go to Plan B.
