    American politics

    Observer just following this discussion (and finding it hard not to involve LOL)...could I suggest you actually define what current political ideas feel 'to the left' for you (again in 2026 context)?

    Cristian Romero

    As I said to Billy just now, I heard at the time from a very well-placed source as to why Postecoglu wanted him specifically.Yes, Tapsoba was the better known and 'rated' option. VdV was not proven.

    Cristian Romero

    I can say unequivocally that Ange pushed for VdV as he was both rapid and left-footed. He was insistent on the left-footed angle. I heard directly from a source at the time. He was backed (obviously).

    Cristian Romero

    BTW, I love that he keeps speaking out AND think the club have to show some cajoles/structure and fine him, as otherwise they are absolutely allowing an inmate to run the asylum (which whether you like the message or not is not healthy)...

    Cristian Romero

    He'll be leaving Tottenham in June for the US and World Cup. I think we'll struggle to keep him if I'm honest...I also do begin to wonder exactly what happened at HT last weekend. Illness? He was apparently ill in Frankfurt? doesn't look 'at the door' here, albeit I wouldn't argue that I am...

    Cristian Romero

    If Phillips is ever going to get a chance to show he has something, it would be in a Frank-Spurs where speed is not of the essence. I think as a pure defender he's pretty decent. Dorrington is another. Of course neither are where we should be aiming, but I agree they're decent enough to be...

    Cristian Romero

    The 'committee' wanted Tapsoba in that window. It was Postecoglu who insisted on VDV. Danso was an excellent pick-up I must say, one I certainly never saw coming (his freak injury is a big big loss for us right now).

    Transfer thread

    I am unsurprised and feel sorry for Frank. We whiffed at the chance to get Semenyo in the early summer, and between MGW and Robertson, we seem to be getting stuck in 'transfers' which then fall apart for 'intangible' reasons. I think the biggest 'crime' of this window happened in Oct/Nov with...

    ENIC

    That's probably about right. Folks like me do put stock in communication (probably a little more than is necessary) AND I agree, they appear to have gone about it in this ham-fisted "chatGPT" fashion. The art of communication is timing as much as anything; saying the right things at the right...

    So, what happened today?

    What an incredible story. That lad is beyond superhuman in many ways. In fairness, the family have pulled a blinder being able to stay alive 9 miles from shore too. Madness. All of it. WHAT a hero!

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Debates about his style and suitability will continue on and on, but I think one thing perhaps we can all agree on is that he has been left in an appalling limbo by Lange and VV. For weeks this guy has been 'one game away' from the boot, has not seen any external public support save a very...

    Xavi Simons

    Get your head out of your confirmation bias. Please. I am absolutely willing to give Frank credit when due, and indeed have done so. You might not notice. As for some of your other accusations, come on, do better! 'Introducing the defensive coach to try and move any credit from Frank'? My...

    Xavi Simons

    Admit it. Unless I keep my (admittedly often long) posts to a minimum, you lose interest and just assume 'Frank hater, I'll bang on that gong again in my reply' LOL!

    Xavi Simons

    Can you explain to me what he has added to Xavi's game in terms of development skill-wise that was previously not part of the player's make-up? BTW, I would question Nørgaard as having been turned into an 'excellent' PL midfielder. Had you said Damsgaard and turned it down to 'quality PL...

    Xavi Simons

    100% but whisper it, because actually, the truth is that there is ONLY ONE MAN responsible for the player we're seeing (and who in fairness has always been there).

    Xavi Simons

    I am pretty fluid in how I view things generally, including our season. My ‘logic’ is fairly simple. When Xavi Simons as the chance to play a freer role and within a framework where teammate are closer at hand, then he shines. Look at the first-half yesterday; the shape wasn’t working, and Xavi...

    Xavi Simons

    I think in Xavi’s case it is about how you use him and how we set up to allow him to be the best he can be! In fairness, this is true of most players other than Harry Kane, who affects football matches wherever he is on the pitch!
