    Having just read into the legal side of this more, I’m very certain now that the club is on solid ground, and there is no way FIFA would allow a player to terminate their contract in this way. It would set a ridiculous precedent. And the club have done everything right - we accepted offers that...

    We’d save his salary either way but if he’s out on loan we’d surely get a decent loan fee which would equate to some proportion of his book value. Rather than just cancel the contract and let him go for nothing so that he can join a club that otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford him, having...

    I’d love to know more about this new law. Because surely it can’t just be that the player can reject all other offers, and then get the contract cancelled, and then just go and join the club they supported as a boy who wouldn’t have been able to afford him any other way? If the club had...

    I agree he’s not a bad egg. I do though think that shouldn’t stop RDZ from sending a message if he so chooses. Because I can see from the club’s POV that they’ve done right by any player that said they wanted to leave. And there needs to be that two way trust because if they’re letting someone...

    I will say, as much as I’ve been happy with our owners m, VV and the strategy around the market this summer, I do want more of an explanation as to how they’ve let this Richy thing happen, I get backing RDZ, and I get sending a message to all players that we aren’t to be messed with. And I do...

    How on earth does this happen? Protective boot? Surely that has nothing to do with being out 2 years?

    As well as more big chances, way more touches in the opposition box etc.

    It’s either that or because a lot of individuals had no respect for the club and decided to turn up unfit and then phone it in over pre season. Which would be a horrific thought and I can’t believe would be the case.

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v The Garibaldis (will Marinakis eat his own club with a cuppa?), Sat Sept 5th, City Ground, 3pm***

    I don’t think he’s trying to reinforce positivity as an overall theme this season, that was last season. I think now he is trying to reinforce that good decision making is important to making his football work. Elite coaches are pretty intentional about their words. Because what they say...

    Maybe you’re right. I don’t know for sure but just piecing various things together and it’s started to make more sense to me. Eg also giving Savio only 60 minutes and being extra cautious with him on the Saudi Sportswashing Machine game. It meant playing Porro out of position but they clearly chose that direction...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v The Garibaldis (will Marinakis eat his own club with a cuppa?), Sat Sept 5th, City Ground, 3pm***

    I think there’s a difference between Sherwood accusing players of not having any heart or guts, and RDZ making a perfectly legitimate and obvious football point. He’s certainly more open than other managers about exactly what he sees, but I don’t think it veers into ‘losing the dressing room’...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I think it’s becoming clear to me that this initial ‘weirdness’ in performances is not because certain individuals are unfit but because the club has taken an overall holistic approach to try and reduce injuries. Part of that may have been having a less intense pre season than other clubs, and...

    ***OMT - Tottenham Hotspur v The Garibaldis (will Marinakis eat his own club with a cuppa?), Sat Sept 5th, City Ground, 3pm***

    I think they probably know themselves that they could have made better decisions, and RDZ isn’t saying anything publicly he wouldn’t say privately to them. I think the ‘making the wrong decisions in attack’ thing has been a common theme with us for a couple of years now, certainly since...

    Think it’s very interesting when you consider: 1. RDZ basically saying Thursday was the first proper training session with the ‘full’ squad. All players that wanted to be here post window, and most serious injuries overcome. 2. The fact we are listening so strongly to medical staff on playing...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I don’t think we’re writing off games, it’s just a function of where we are. We could have won today. I think it was interesting to hear his analysis about taking the wrong decision in the crucial moment in attack. This is what needs to come together. It seems like the team gets the build up...

    We definitely were better last season than so far. I think he’s trying to do a more complicated thing, that will set us up for more long term success. But it will take longer to implement.

    I think it’s still about baiting the press. But it’s about encouraging the opposition to bite in different areas. It used to be getting them to bite on the defence, now it’s about getting them to bite in other areas of the pitch. He shifted the focus areas at Marseille despite the game generally...

    Totally reasonable opinion. I personally think we have improved, and that a manager with such a defined way of playing getting his very specific targets is likely to improve us overall. But I respect the other side of that debate. I think when I read the idea that people have ‘gone early’ with...

    This is obvious. But like…the same goes for signing a bunch of unproven prospects? They would still need to do the business on the pitch. The difference is, one of the approaches is the owners doing everything they can to back the manager and bring football success. Of course the players then...

    Yeah it’s like a more expensive and high profile version of Poch going scorched earth on Townsend for talking back to the fitness coach. But we were bloody great after that so clearly the team locked in. Hopefully a similar thing here, shows RDZ isn’t messing about. Just still so confused by...
