Pre-Season Thread

Tbf I'm going to be like that this year

Looking forward to seeing Moussa Savic in the midfield this season would have been quite happy to have seen Victor Seri sign for us too.

 

For anyone who hasn't watched it yet but still plans to, I have one word for you: Gazinga.

 

Highlights while they last:

 

Decent start to the season, although never good to read too much into these games.

Lucas looked excellent and Nando should take something from his goals. Amos also did well. There were however some very ‘meh’ performances as well - and the playing out from the back again got us into trouble.

Great to see Eriksen and Big Dave rushing back to get involved - hope the commitment doesn’t come back to bite later in the season when the benefits of summer rest might come to the fore.

Oh - and I’m actually warming to the new kit. Not the feckin’ red AIA, but the general kit design.

 

Gonna try and find full match highlights somewhere.

Sounds like Roma have been ****ed by a Brazilian winger twice in as many days.

 

Wouldn't stress about the 2nd half....

 

Smashing Roma in preseason, what could possibly go wrong?

Ffs lads, if we're not signing anyone can we at least not actively undermine ourselves more by activating the Ramos curse

 

Flashbacks to the BBC talking about the Neegarter prefecture

 

The Isco kid has said we are definitely signing Lionel Ronaldo.

 

Was just thinking the same. Hope Arry is ready after 8 games!

 

I am.

I want to see signs that the SQUAD has a whole could potentially
front up in the PL for all of August without 10 of the WC Spurs
playing.

So far it seems that Lamela and Moura are ready to go, but that
defence could not be fielded. Onwards to the next two steps of the
experiment.

 

Interesting to see a fair few people taking a good look at Oliver Skipp's performance

Also interesting to notice nobody saying the obvious: our GK kit is ****ing horrible

 

Roma post-match stuff ...

Manager :

Players :

 

Watched the first half then skimmed through the second.

Lucas was excellent. Once his fitness is finally up to an acceptable level we’ll be seeing one heck of a player this coming season.

Good on Nando as well to grab some goals. May add £500k to his asking price.

Amos looked decent.

Great save by sexy Gazza in the second half.

 

What about him?

 

Suggestions from America that Big Vic's got a recurrence of his knee problems. No indication of the severity as yet. **** our luck. We've had a lot of long-term absences in the last couple of seasons.

 

As if the need for a central midfielder could get any more urgent.

 

He’s still being considered for the weekend, so hopefully a minor issue....... (yes, I know...... )

 

...so about Wilmar Barrios?

 

Sounds like another Andros Townsend.
