    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    Frank will change his system to get the best out of the players he had available at the moment (see Brentford changes before/during/after Toney) Ange will sacrifice his best player (out of position, asked to do things outside of skill set) to accommodate the system. That's why the bricker the...

    Peter Charrington - Non-executive Chairman

    Not worked much with Citi group I see, traditional banking has no claim to be well run or strategic thinking. Can't wait to be explained how he is a football guy and Levy wasn't

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    Glad you decided to put out a new one, the one yesterday (end of era) was not good. Jay's viewpoint is almost a caricature of modern social media view, not old enough to remember anything before Levy, but Levy is brick ... no idea what's next but it will be better or I just don't care ..

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    History will probably correct itself over time. What's funny is Levy leaving puts him in a no lose position re history, the infrastructure and rise of the club is under his reign, he leaves the club in CL having won a European trophy in his last season with one of the club's better transfer...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Our performance (average position) is the best in the club's history, our cup runs are also right up there, and our trophy haul while admittedly short is not hugely off the club average, all done while building a structure to secure our future and competing with the Chelsea & City's (something...

    He's got competition now

    Squad

    So agree, Muani plays as a striker. I think your last piece is related to something I think has gone a little under the radar from people evaluating the window for Spurs. While Paulhinha, Kudus, Xavi, Muani all probably walk into the team, i.e. upgrade on what's there, it's also the profile...

    Rough highlights of Prem teams' transfer windows

    So to me, the big take away of this window is the top 6 pull away again. - Liverpool -> great window, makes them favorites to retain title - Arsenal -> improved, don't think they got the right profile but 2nd/3rd, likely again - Chelsea -> who the fudge knows, another 10+ in, 20 out, but depth...

    Circus ManUnitus - Nobody's At The Wheel

    Never going to happen, he'll get thrown in the deep end against City/Chelsea and his confidence will be gone in a month. They are just a circus, their window would have been 100% better if they had signed two of the 3 forward players, picked up Martinez and a midfielder with legs. Amorim is...

    Squad

    I suspect we will extend Palhinha (knowing us, after negotiating the price down a little), will see re Gray, feels like a few of our younger players will need to prove themselves in rotation/cup games this season.

    Squad

    So agree with your priorities, although think it was clear if we could have got him, club would have gone for Savinho. My view - We may go back in for Savinho in January, so the LWF - Didn't seem an obvious FB option, hence the Akanji links - Next summer may be a target of a more progressive 6...

    Transfer thread

    Said it in the squad thread, it depends on the timing. Very hard to see (not impossible) us being top 4 this season, too far a leap from 17th, new manager, etc. If you look at last season, keep the losses down to 10-12 and you are in with a shout for top 6. I think Frank makes us hard to beat...

    Radu Drăgușin

    Like all the defenders, pretty confident he will be fine in a system that protects (and emphasizes solidity) vs. exposing. Looks like CBs will be Romero, Danso, VDV, Dragusin, Kota, Davies going into season, I'd say that's as much depth as I can remember for a long time.

    Squad

    So loans kicking in -> Phillips, Moore, Donley, Lankshear, Hall, likely Vuskovich Son moved on, expect Gil, Solomon do not play part in plans Current squad - Vic, Kinsky, Austin, Porro, Spence, Romero, Danso, VDV, Dragusin, Kota, Davies, Udogie, Paulinha, Biss, Gray, Sarr, Bantancur, Bergvall...

    Tyrese Hall - on loan at Notts County

    Good luck, thought he would have pushed on more by now, but lets see what a good loan gets him
  16. R

    Pedro Porro

    Easy to make a case for him, great work ethic, clearly a starter, very positive and likeable guy and now one of the senior players in squad.

    James Maddison

    Maybe, and that's the issue, unknown and we then depend on his fitness. Clear we need to find an incoming, the question will be is that incoming a stop gap (like Paulinha) or long term, if long term, it's probably the beginning of the end for Maddison.

    João Palhinha

    We dont know as always, good/bad news is he wasn't used that much last season, so should be fresh. 50M player on basically a wages risk only loan that (Id assume) buys us a year and frees up money for spending elsewhere
  19. R

    João Palhinha

    Good player for a specific role, was a 50M player 12 months ago. With Kudus & Palinha, so far two players with PL experience, both have something very different to our current squad.

    Son Heung-Min

    someone saw some of his interviews in Korean and basically the just they got was -> of course good time to move on, but he's been struggling with injuries, wants to have one last go for his country at World Cup (which coincidentally is in US), slightly lower level gives him a good chance to be...
