    Let me understand this better. Last season Chelsea had 6 in the EFL, 2 in the PL and another 4 overseas. What is the quota in each box or does it even matter? PL to PL PL to EFL PL to Championship

    Yeah, there seems to be a policy there. Last season we didn't name Max Robson as a club trained when he was in the same position as Matthew Craig now. It sent the message how far down the pecking order Max was when you consider it was just a name in a box impacting absolutely nobody else. I...

    Using the official website, this is where I plot each of the 32 players on the 1st team page based on UEFA definitions..... List A - Vicario, Kinsky, Porro, Udogie, Romero, Danso, VdV, Dragusin, Vuskovic, Takai, Palhinha, Bentancur, Bissouma, Sarr, Bergval, Kulu, Kudus, Yang, Gil, Solomon...

    Yeah, I guess I'm saying that an alternative way is to use guys like Kudus, Odobert, Tel, Johnson etc in the 3 of the 4-2-3-1, but one of them playing in more central areas. You get that narrow pace on the inside and you get the full-backs offering the width. So ahead of the double pivot you get...

    I see the number of loans is now building. I think we have Phillips, Ajayi, Hall, Lanks, Donley in the EFL and Dorrington and Moore in the SPL. Then we have Veliz at Rosario So 5 within our football association and 3 outside of our association. How many more are we allowed?

    It also wasn't lost on me how Iraola converted Kluivert into a massively effective number 10. Doesn't play the role anywhere near like we see from Madds but is extremely effective with his pace and skill. I wouldn't call him a schemer like we think we need, and Frank had with Damsgaard...

    Cristian Romero

    I also think that we will see more instances where 3 of our centre halves are on the pitch at the same in the second half of games. Personally, I thought Danso had an outstanding cameo in the EL final. I was unsure where he was playing but he knew how to slot in and make us more secure. I think...

    Didn't we hire a guy (Andy Scoulding?) to have complete oversight on all these Spurs loans? He is the link between Lange, the player and the other club and spends loads of time monitoring our own players in their loan spells. I reckon that would be a critical role to build the relationships.

    Transfer thread

    I think the biggest question is what pairings we have. I think it is easy to analyse one player's strengths and weaknesses over another but centre half play is about combinations. We've become quite accustomed to the Romero / VDV and see the pace and ability, but conveniently forget that they...

    Tyrese Hall - on loan at Notts County

    Big shoes to fill. Abbott set the bar high. Hopefully he'll be loved by the fans as much as George was.

    Makes sense. The academy needs to prove it's profit and loss so assigning these budgets would be important. I remember that period when we sold Townsend, Caulker, Pritchard, Mason, KWP with Kane and Winks obviously making the first team long term. Poch's net spending would have been negative...

    Cristian Romero

    Not to mention way better protection from the tactical system. Ange left his centre halves from in front and from the sides way too often with his tactics. With a double pivot and 2 full-backs working their natural channel, life could be way different for our centre halves. More like the luxury...

    Stop being a spoilsport. Isn't it great to dream about these players joining Spurs? 8-)

    Wasn't this something to do with PSR exclusions from memory?

    Interesting that Notts County, Stoke and Aberdeen feature again in our loan arrangements. I guess I'll be waiting for Westerlo or AZ Alkmaar to feature again if we do need to find overseas loans.
