    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Trust me mate, if you've been reading my thoughts you'll see I am generally of that thought (albeit I do always want to believe the end result will be positive, that is far more important than being right or wrong as we all win). I do think it is interesting to view things from other...

    The Current State of Spurs (and some sympathy for Thomas Frank)

    Even before I saw @Mrs Vert 's comment about the chaos, I've been pondering the current state of the club and reflecting on just how hugely tough it has to be for Thomas Frank to deal with (in many ways hugely unfair). We changed managers after winning a trophy which always needs a degree of...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Sorry my friend, a joke too far for me (albeit not intended I know)...for clarity, this season's squad is stronger than last season's. It is a fact. We can go man for man if you want?

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Don't negate Dier's importance in being able to play there and at CB when necessary. He was a very important part of that whole set-up.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I accept it is hard to argue against the best side we've had in 15 years. And the best manager since 1978-84...especially as this side was proven. However some of the views of Romero I've seen are comical. He is absolutely Toby's equal in terms of influence, not as good in the air but better on...

    Mate. Right now, the first person in this parrish I'd swap for 16/17 is the manager.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    True, he would be getting ground out by the fans, the same fans who could not recognise what he did in season 2018/19 with no money, no signings, injuries and a squad wearing out. Despite all that, a CL Final and top 4 (again). His reward? Not even three months of average results before the...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Anyway, fun sub-topic but this is Thomas’ thread and as such let’s return to it. Delighted to see him defend VdV so vociferously against Slot’s flimflam in today’s presser, well done that man! And kudos to him too for maintaining decorum amidst some increasing turbulence.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Romero is a better footballer than Toby was (not sure what you mean when you say you watched him at his previous clubs, do you mean regularly? I also saw him across his career before us). The system he played in with Poch suited him perfectly. He started to go off the boil in 2018/19. Romero’s...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    He expressed dissatisfaction/wanted to ‘move because of his missus’ hahaha. Poch immediately said ‘off you go’. Which was the right thing to do in some senses, and in others not.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think Poch would’ve quickly improved several of these players to a standard he’d have chosen for the first 11. I think Romero is a fine example of this, and am baffled by people who don’t see that as a clear possibility. I liked Toby, but if you gave Romero that side and manager, he’d have...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I disagree. Alderweireld was really good but Poch was his manager. Romero is a superior footballer technically. I think Poch would’ve loved Romero, loved him. Walker and Porro? In retrospect Walker has been great (being managed by Pep and Poch did not harm his career). I remember Walker getting...

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I think you’re being short-sighted and not recognising the coach involved. Poch would absolutely have improved Porro in the defensive area. same with Romero. If you cannot see how Poch would’ve adored Romero, then I cannot help you. Romero is a better player than Alderweireld, who looked better...

    What would YOUR priority signing be in the Jan transfer window?

    Agreed. It feels like we are heading in that direction.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I’ll take the back end because it is an interesting question…I’ll go team first. Then squad. Porro would get into Poch’s side Romero would get into Poch’s side I’d argue that VdV would too Simons gets into that squad Deki gets into that squad (albeit unfair because he is not fit) Bergvall gets...
