    I know this is a peculiar comparison to make, but Pape Sarr reminds me of Patrick Vieira. Without the random kicking, stamping and elbowing of opponents and the screaming in referee's faces.

    Yeah I see that too.

    But its the ground he covers and the work rate that shifts it to Vieira, for me.

    Yaya was a bit too much of a 'luxury' player in that respect.

    A top front three is out of the question, but a front three of Kulusevski (Hold up striker TBD of, say, Mitrovic level) Perisic would be an enormous improvement.

    If we get a hold up/ link up CF then I think that’ll bring out the best in Sonny. A Firmino-esque CF would be amazing in this set up in my opinion.

    Failing that, go and spend on Orban or David.

    Managed to get a ticket for the Fulham game...unfortunately not in the away end ... tickets online were way too much (£150-£170).
    But got one on stub hub in home end for £35.

    Ain't been to an away game since 1993 so well excited.

    Got a ticket for our Sheffield United game too.

    Just a question but has Ange got Spurs playing with more fluidity and interchanging positions than the stereotypes of Mourinho and Conté? Good luck for the season. Tottenham have been in the relative backwaters of the PL for far too long.

    Sort of like how Didier Zokora was like Vieira, just without knowing how to tackle anybody

    Weirdly one of the big questions looming on the horizon is whether Bentancur slots straight back into the team and if so, whose position does he take?

    It's a nice problem to have, for a change.
