    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    I agree, I'm just not sure it would have made a big difference in that game. But then again I also think even just 1-2 really good attacking moves playing through a high press can somewhat change the game state/flow. Making the opponents second guess themselves, giving us confidence. That...

    Xavi Simons

    I may be getting my hopes up slightly high very early before he's kicked s ball, but I kinda think he'll improve most players around him while also as you say putting pressure on the people that he's competing with for a starting spot.

    Squad

    Assuming Kulusevski is out for the first half of the season... I count two players for each position in midfield and up front + 1. Maybe I'm miscounting? Unless we're exceptionally lucky with injuries (that would be a first) Tel, Odobert, Bergvall and Gray are important squad players. Starts...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    Iraoloa really is an excellent manager for Bournemouth. I'm not sure that translates as well to two games a week, clubs in Europe and all that. Maybe he can tweak it enough to make it work, but I'm kinda glad we're not the club to take the gamble on that. (May be proven wrong on this for sure)...

    Mathys Tel

    Great post. Both him and Odobert are young players who already have top league experience here and elsewhere. They haven't made much impact this season, but we're only 3-4 games in. At this point last season (and later) people were saying that Gray and Bergvall were only players for the...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    We have, and I think for good reason. Thought he was a good fit in January when we were linked to him, in part due to his versatility and us lacking players in several positions. I think the same is true now for slightly different reasons. We have some imo very talented left sided players in...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v AFC Bournemouth ***

    True in general and way more true with Bournemouth... Good team, fantastic pressing team, dealing with a high press is one of our weaknesses.

    Spurs Summer transfer window 2025 - roundup and review

    The main problem is in Europe, where we can't register everyone. We don't really have a problem with home grown players, but with club trained players. That issue has been on the radar and addressed by the people in charge of transfers I believe. Think players like Bergvall, Gray and Vuskovic...

    Spurs Summer transfer window 2025 - roundup and review

    Higher end of my expectations so voted A. Assuming A doesn't have to be a perfect window despite the wording leaning some whim that way.

    Thomas Frank - Head Coach

    That was mostly a result of them sitting back as they can't physically press like that for 90 minutes imo. Aftet that is when Porro would have been more useful as we started getting our full backs far enough forward to be in crossing positions. Not saying the simubs didn't help, thought Udogie...

    Well put. Unless we find the somehow unknown 19 year old Messi on a free transfer there will always be compromises between opportunity and what we need for the team short and long term.

    I mostly agree, but also think being opportunistic can be a good and useful part of an overall strategy.

    Mathys Tel

    Both Odobert and Tel have already and could potentially develop into playing other positions too. We have Moore too of course. Could be that we'll end up having too many players to give meaningful minutes to some of these talented young players, not a fan of that. But could also be a good...

    Transfer thread

    Overall a strong window imo. Let's see what Simons and Kolo Muani can do for us, but seems to me like good signings adding to Kudus and Palhinha. Let's see how they actually do, but 4 new first team ready players with real qualities along with Danso and Tel made permanent and young talent in...

    Randal Kolo Muani

    Welcome. Please be really good. Will be very interesting to see how he fits in and how he can perform here. A player with a lot of quality, but has been a while since he's been able to produce that regularly from what I understand. Probably many reasons for that. Hopefully here can be a place...

    Richarlison

    I think that's a useful standard, in some contexts. I also think it's useful to evaluate/judge a player based on what their usefulness is to us now, where we are in addition to where we want to be (achieving serious things). And with regards to what their qualities and weaknesses are, how are...

    Richarlison

    Assuming you're right that we need to replace him my support of him has no impact on that happening or not. I'm not "willing to give it a go", I accept that I have no impact on that. My willingness isn't a factor. So that's your standard. And all players should be judged on that standard all...

    Richarlison

    How is support and hope for a player going to be to the detriment of the team though? Sure, those are his well understood weaknesses. I haven't really disagreed with that have I? To me you come across as black and white on this. Maybe it's just me...

    Richarlison

    If you're going to make strong statements at least be willing to back them up... In what way is my support of the player to the detriment of the side? We apparently see things very differently on him. I see your opinion as rather black and white, what I think of as some nuance on my side you...

    Mathys Tel

    Fair enough, we see it differently. I don't think Bayern sold him as soon as possible. We reportedly asked for him at part of the Kane deal. They sold him because he wanted out because of a lack of game time and then only for a fairly solid fee.
