Must be a lot of pressure on Tottenham this season, they just have to win something surely. Spent a lot and now playing at the new stadium where they are unbeatable.
6th year with Poch at the helm too. He's made repeated threats about leaving. If they don't win anything again this season, I think his position becomes untenable.
Both Lo Celso and Ndombele bring a new level to our CM. They add creativity and goals which we've massively lacked from the midfield and there's a possibility that if Eriksen goes, we'll go 433 and look for those two to be the main creators in a different style of play. Sessegnon adds strength down all of the left, right now I think he's better to provide competition for Son but long term his future is at LB. RB we'll likely give Walker-Peters a go. Trippier was so bad last year that I doubt KWP can be any worse. Coutinho/ Dybala would've been great signings but we're still looking pretty strong. We've also had a solid pre-season for the first time in about 3-4 years so I'm hoping that does us well over the season.
Well, time for the talking to stop and the football to get played now. We have a tough start, not looking forward to it.
Can't wait for the season to start. Seems like it's been a ****ing long transfer window this one. Pleased with our business and we should go into the season stronger than last year.
I hate the fact we're opening tomorrow night. Could easily slip up and with teams strengthening around us it's going to be tough. No way will we repeat last season and my worry is City probably will. They've done it twice in a row and have bought wisely. Basically the nerves are kicking in.
I suppose if that happens though the argument is...have they strengthened? Dembele, Eriksen, Rose and Trippier out. The 3 new guys seem like for like and aren't proven at this level. They keep Eriksen then they've done very well. But it seems a dead cert he's off either now or in Jan.
Exactly. Poch can have no grumbles now. He’s got some great young players to work with, plus young Clarke to come in, next season. I think it demonstrates just how much Lewis and Levy want to keep Poch happy that we’ve smashed our transfer record to smithereens!
Dembele was becoming a passenger - good for 60 mins, if we we’re lucky. Trippier - never up to the required standard, imo. No great loss for me. Eriksen - he’ll be missed, but not if he plays like he did in the CL final. Fades in and out of games. Rose - obviously Poch wants rid and sees Sessegnon as his replacement. I’d be sorry to see him go. I think he still offers us a lot.
I am a defender of Trippier and even I think he was beyond woeful from October onwards. The talk is of Sissoko and Foyth playing there this season.
If we really wanted him, we would have got him. I reckon Levy used him to keep Betis focussed on the Lo Celso deal. The man is a genius.
Well i've spent the afternoon watching deadline day, on and off, and i've got to admit, i've no ****ing idea who most of these ****s are.
