    Because Man City realises that it will benefit Spurs more than themselves if Kane were to leave. So their price will be considerably lower than anything they previously offered.

    Anyone else notice when Dele came on yesterday that he mis-kicked the ball twice… How the **** has this guy carved such a career for himself? <laugh>

    Give me £100k a week and I’m sure I’ll at least make contact with a ball!

    I don't see much evidence of lateral thinking in football. Or much thinking at all come to that.

    And how many times did Kane miskick?

    The subs didn't do anything of note. I recall N'Dombele losing possession in midfield and actually ran to try and win the ball back. Obviously he didn't win the ball back.

    £55m well spent if you ask me. Same as the £27m for Bergwijn.

    Ballers.

    and the £35-40m spent on Sessegnon and Clark.
    Can’t wait until they finally break into the team in 2027/2028.

    even though he's pretty conservative and currently looking useless, i'm not sure you want to become the new Watford sacking managers right left and centre, especially when the manager is only 2 points off top 4 and only 10 games in with a basket case of a squad.

    give him time to make a mark

    Anyway it won't happen, Levy will want to wait til the end of the season when he can sack him for free. Will have to pay him out right now

    £42m on Lo Celso <rofl>

    It’s like a never ending list of disappointment <laugh>

    I’d rather be the new Watford or Chelsea by sacking people out of their depth than persisting with them to allow them to make things worse.

    Edit: or better yet, don’t hire dopes in the first place.

    £42m “creative” midfielder, Giovani Lo Celso, ladies and gents.

    Guy’s not even at a better level than Eriksen’s “downed tools” stage. Tragic.

    Most impressive thing about that clip is how 34 year old Cavani is busting a gut to try to catch Lo Celso.

    That's a player who leads by example and wears his shirt with pride.

    Since Lamela left, we have zero such players.

    Which guarantees they won't do it, given their business has always been based on hobbling those around them to get them out the way

    As it's Halloween, here's the pass map

    please log in to view this image


    Oh boy, there's so much to get into here...
    * Alright, what did Ben Davies say in the dressing room that made the entire team want to be on the opposite side of the pitch to him?
    * Lucas deciding he wanted to be a CM this week, which no doubt has a knock-on effect of Sonny playing as a RW
    * Davies passing regularly to Skipp and Hojbjerg, but not to Lo Celso or Kane
    * No arrows into Kane, and only a very thin one out to Lo Celso

    And because I've eaten my body weight in Haribo this morning, the sugar high is going to have me looking for positives - and, weirdly, there's a couple
    * Hugo regularly finding Emerson with long balls
    * Romero playing it direct to Lo Celso often enough

    And that's the obvious issue: imagine if Hugo was regularly bringing in Emerson, or Romero was regularly bringing in Lo Celso, and when they did they had Lucas on the right wing or Harry Kane up top to play the ball to? Instead they had Sonny on the right meaning nobody would ever be coming in on the far post or they had to figure something out on their own (but apparently you can't sum that up in a four second video clip on Twitter...), and that also justifies Nuno bringing on Bergwijn early in the second half as a means to try and regain our shape - only for that shape to become the smiling poop emoji

    Son switching wings destroys a lot of the use of this, but look at Kane.
    Nobody passed to him, he passed to nobody and he's basically standing on Lo Celso.
