    just seems odd as he seems like one of those players who just makes things happen though as Spurf said perhaps most effective as a sub unless you play him as CF for some strange reason :bandit:.

    imo far more damning is the fact he isn't subbed when playing poorly .

    He’s can be inconsistent to be fair although that’s not helped by being in and out of the side.

    He’s one of those who’s either incredible or anonymous, very rarely any middle ground but without a solid run of starts he’ll never really be able to show his consistency over a long enough stretch.

    He's good when he plays as a right winger or the right of the three behind the striker.
    Pochettino only seems to do this on rare occasions, so we don't often see the best of him.
    He'll start him on the left, as a striker playing beyond Kane or even on his own up top, none of which suit him.
    Then he gets subbed off, benched and introduced for a few minutes at the end of matches, when he'll look dangerous again, like yesterday.

    I'd wait for a source above Tier 19 before commiting to an angry tweet that'll push whichever Narrative HITC are adopting this hour

    Beneficial Loan Watch
    The Nottingham Post report that, if we opt to recall Jack Clarke from his farcical loan at Leeds, Nottingham Forest are interested in taking him on loan for the remainder of the season

    That means he'll actually play matches...right?

    Lower League Rando Watch
    In what is definitely not a blatant piece of saber-rattling from his agent, 16-year old West Brom attacking midfielder Rico Richards has been linked with us, and by complete coincidence Express & Star (that's the Midlands paper Express & Star, not a hellish combination of the Daily Express and Daily Star) have been quick to offer a bumper deal as his current contract expires in the summer

    Why do I get the feeling that I've written the exact same paragraph many, many times before?

    Vague Headline Watch
    Gary Jacob of The Times has stated that Poch wants to sign six first teamers for a major squad overhaul, with the article suggesting Poch's shopping list consists of three defenders, a holding midfielder and two attacking players - and that's as far as the details go, but it's not like you;re getting a refund for that subscription now is it?

    I can think of at least three Lyon players we should be looking at instead

    Sounds like an old Dusty Springfield record.

    She had an album "Dusty in Memphis" which the song "Son of a Preacher Man" came from.
    She had some great songs. The Tourists did a great cover - and I have some great covers by pop punk/Ramonescore bands you've never heard of.

    Doesn't sound like Joachim Andersen, Houssem Aouar or Lucas Tousart though...

    Shows where we are with intent. Glaringly neglectful behaviour from those that run our club be it Poch or Levy.

    For a club with a stringent transfer policy it makes no sense to spend a big chunk of it on someone who is being sent out on Loan to sit on the bench.

    Can't we terminate the Loan? Surely he will learn more at Spurs or is this Poch being weak again and giving zero ****s because his Dad Bielsa is the beneficery.

    Such weak behaviour from Spurs again....Poch the romantic is getting on my Bellend a bit....we are a bit fraudulant with intent at the top end of our club. Someone with a backbone would act on it and demand the player back

    I understand he's allowed to **** up again and again because he is the Messiah...maybe I need to take that into consideration a bit more.

    Completely and utterly wrong

    Football League rules state a club can only have five loanees in their matchday squads, and at the time we loaned Clarke back to Leeds he was the third player they loaned in. The issue was they promptly loaned in another three players, and this is where the issue arises: Helder Costa, Jack Harrison and Ben White have all been first choice players this season while Ilian Meslier has been their backup goalkeeper, and for the early part of the season Eddie Nketiah was the bench option - and it's only in recent weeks when either Nketiah or Meslier have been dropped from the squad where Clarke has been getting on the bench

    Suggesting that the club are somehow at fault for Leeds loaning in more players over the summer than they can field in their matchday squad is either patently absurd, or a pathetic attempt at trolling. So which is it?

    In other words, Watford and Newcastle expected him to take a much more significant wage cut than he expected in the summer, and it's dawning on him that he really should've tried to force that move to Man Utd a couple of years ago

    They should tell the money grabbing prick that he'll not play for the club any longer.
    I have every sympathy for people who face racism and mental health issues but these things do not excuse that **** interview he gave the sun 18 months ago.
    I find it sn insult thst the prick now whines after treating fans with utter contempt...**** him off now imho.
    Utter cock

    I think this further strengthens what Tripps said with regards to his comment of "things behind the scenes". Tripps got a lot of hate for saying that, I think because he had a bad season many saw it as being bitter towards the club but regardless of his form, I always thought he was a pretty down to earth guy and a good pro. There's obviously a really bad vibe at the club at the moment which we as fans don't see but can at times put 2+2 together. He no doubt left primarily because the club didn't guarantee his future (just like we're seemingly doing with Rose) but I think the chance to sort of "get out" may have also appealed, especially when the option was a club bigger and better than Spurs - still can't believe he plays for Atleti though <laugh>

    It's a real contrast from a couple years ago. Everyone seemed pally, the vibe was good, the work rate was good, the style was good, results were generally good, people were signing contracts the second they were seemingly offered... Oh the joys of Tottenham Hotspur, eh?
