Are those minutes across all comps or just league?

All comps, they are in the links I posted

Wait, what thread is this again?

Doesn't matter anymore as long as you mention spurs it's valid. I remember the days when staff would try to keep things on topic & threads would be moved to there right place. Unfortunately those days are gone & you just have accept it or leave I guess

Agree with this . With regards to top level starters this is exactly what we need.

A lot will disagree but I don’t see us troubling top 4 until we buy some better players.

I don’t see any real world beaters in our squad. I mean top top tier talent. We have some young players who could possibly get there but for every Kane, Bale , Modric ,there’s been double that in dross that never gets there.

This squad does not have anything near the mentioned above. Let alone others we have seen come good . Dele , Berbatov etc.

This is a position I’ve held for a while spoke to it all last summer. The quality of player we have has diminished.

We do need to buy young unproven talent and hope that we pick up a Gem but also need some real proven quality to help them come good and to show them the way and set standards. Son was that but that’s gone a year or two back in terms of once top tier talent. Romero maybe but he is not in that bracket I’m talking about.

Looking at our squad as it is Frank will need to get us playing well beyond the some of our parts to get close to top 4. Poch done that but had some talent sprinkled in and coached players to be better.

Some of our fan base massively over rate our players because they are at Spurs.

We also need a proper captain. A leader as I don’t see one when things are going against us .

Your standard for world bearers seems similar to mine.

Pretty much the only way we've been able to get those players in the past has been by developing younger talented players or taking a chance on someone less proven.

It's probably still our most likely avenue to get there. Maybe someone like Eze could be that player. But most of those proven to be that player at a high level are out of our reach.

Sadly you might be correct , they are out of our reach. Developing young to become stars is rare. As I said for every Kane there’s 10 mediocre players.

Squad is very short of top tier talent. It’s got depth but that depth is all ok players.

So do the club need to pay wages that attract better players . Our Chairman said he wants to win leagues. It’s unrealistic. Weird statement from him.
