    Iliman Ndiaye

    I think he looks pretty good as a physical left winger to provide knock downs and off ball running, or as a poacher who purely has to finish moves and typically with one touch. I think De Zerbi needs proper dribbling on the wing and proper hold up play in the middle, and he just can’t do it...

    Probably has something to do with Richy coming to the club and telling them he wants to move?

    Tosin & Mudryk deals with Chelsea

    Have to say this feels like a totally mad move given the time out. But equally, is RDZ probably the only person in the world that could revive him at this point? Would love to know more on how he’s been keeping up to speed, and could be remotely PL ready.

    Iliman Ndiaye

    I don’t blame him whatsoever although I do think we need to find him a move, he just does not look right in a De Zerbi system. He’s a non entity and the ball doesn’t stick. So I agree with him doing right by himself but we can’t be relying upon him at all this season I would think.

    Iliman Ndiaye

    This is just a consequence of actually going for your true top targets. We wanted Gakpo. We needed Liverpool to find a replacement. He decided he wanted City, so we moved for Ndiaye. Gakpo stays. Our move gets fudged. We should have course have gone straight for Ndiaye. But it would have meant not...

    Iliman Ndiaye

    I guess the first option was Gakpo, then we went for him. There’s a food chain and a cascade of events. And I guess this is what happens when you compete at the top of the market. You need to wait for the dominos to fall. Probably also why Palace were tinkled to receive a bid so late for Sarr...

    What I’ve loved about this window is that we’ve been in the mix for our top targets. And for the most part, succeeded. I trust that the club has a back up in place if we can’t get Ndiaye, or that actually they judge that whoever is available is not better than what we have. Sometimes thems the...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Completely agree with all of that.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I don’t think this is a weakness so much as that we simply have to score from the chances we create if we are going to do this. We had opportunities. We just didn’t execute.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    Yeah and I think Poch was seeing which players would truly buy in, giving players like Adebayor enough rope to hang themselves before deploying Mason, Bentaleb, Kane and Townsend and starting the ascent. I think here the squad is in a similar position. I think De Zerbi is very conscious of not...

    Iliman Ndiaye

    Agree with this. I think he’s good enough to ‘hold the ball up’ as a dribbler in the Marmoush mould, especially in a De Zerbi system. And could also still cover the left. He is also capable of beating his man, but he’s too inconsistent with it, so I’m glad it looks like we’re signing someone...

    Mathys Tel

    Thought that was his worst game for us in a while unfortunately. Way worse than Brentford. Didn’t seem like the speed of thought was on Markoush’s level. And his head seemed to drop as the game wore on. I really like him and have defended him a lot, but unfortunately thought he was a weak link...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Saturday August 29th, 5.30pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    I’m trying to think of another team that made such drastic changes and then made outsized improvements to their finishing position, If memory serves, Chelsea’s first Russian money season was another 4th under Ranieri, and they won it the next season under Jose. I think the first UAE money was...

    ***OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Saudi Sportswashing Machine, Saturday August 29th, 5.30pm, Tottenham Hotspur Stadium***

    I agree. I think we’ll be fine. The players we have are too talented. We’ll get there. And we looked really good today until their goal. Why does it feel so weird? I just don’t think the team dynamics have clicked yet. They all don’t really know each other. And that’s important because you...

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    I can see why it would be a mentally problem. Because with so many new players in the squad the leadership dynamics aren’t worked out yet. So his point around seeing our heads drop going 1 nil down, it’s not something that can be signed. It has to happen within the squad. I thought we played...

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    Very hard to argue with anything he says there. Because they’ve backed up everything they said they aspired to, with actual actions. It really feels like the owners have put up the money, the executives have run the plays, and now the football staff need to deliver throughout the season. Doesn’t...

    Cody Gakpo

    That’s why I’m very interested in who it is if not Gakpo. We’ve gone all out for RDZ’s top targets and by and large succeeded. Who’s next down the list if we can’t get Gakpo?

    Cody Gakpo

    Top 8 is shooting way too low with the squad we have now, the quality; the depth, and no Europe.

    Mathys Tel

    Not trying to make excuses for Tel but I do wonder if Charlton were doubling up more on our left hand side last night, seeing Tel / Udogie as more of a threat than Moore / Gray, who seemed to have more space. Anyway, I think Tel is really quite good, and unfortunately a lot of the opinions on...

    ***Tottenham Hotspur v Charlton OMT***

    You can just tell he is a top class player. You can see why he was wanted by other top clubs. He is just a class above. A difference maker. The half turn, the forcing function to get the ball forward. He just has it. This is what you get when you pay proper wages to sign ready made players...
