TOTTENHAM ARE STILL A BIG CLUB!

yep

I wonder how this influences Vertonghen.

Does he stay on now?

guess yes

tho hes not as automatic or urgent a case imo, hes lost a few yards this summer

if jose can operate without such a high line then that pair has a year or two left, if not then jan is destined for a covering cb/lb role until his contract winds down maybe

I'm quite happy with Sanchez and Toby at CB and Vertonghen at LB. Even at LB Vertonghen is a better option that Rose or Davies, and the two Belgians together aren't pacy enough any more.

More than anything else we desperately need to sign a defensive midfielder who can complement Ndombele. Even if it's just on loan.

Sanchez's mistakes tend to be down to lack of experience rather than physical attributes, he desperately needs a run in the team because he could become great.

Jan looked chasing after Adama like when as kids my dad would jump in for a few minutes

certainly that's not sustainable, at lb

Matic is available

agreed that jan at lb is not going to do the job that our lb has been asked to do the past five years

whether we keep asking either of our full backs to carry so much water remains to be seen tho

Also, Bergwijn probably in for youse (deems and I agreed a fee on whatsapp earlier). He's leaving a club in disarray though, with mgmt not having ok'd him doing a medical at Spurs.

thought psv manager admitted sulkily that hed told him go ahead

sounded like it mightve been a bit pass-agg mind

I was surprised he is only 22, he seems to have been around for ages. Would probably prefer Malen but he’d likely cost 3x as much.

The (interim) manager sulkily did, big boss man didn't tho. We're in a shambles rn and though not the best of looks I honestly can't blame the lad for fleeing the scene.

Malen a different player (more of a striker), he'd cost you more though yeah.

A striker is what we need tbh, though Piatek still a possibility.

need two from the top, two from the middle and two small ones pls carol

Malen isn't available anyway, he'll likely miss the Euros because of a knee injury, he's out for the season.

well, yeah?

backup for kane

Striker and holding midfielder desperately needed at the moment but it's very hard to imagine any really good CF wanting to come to Spurs given Kane's obvious pre-eminence.

foyth, kwp, rose, wanyama all available, lamela an option too if rumours are to be believed

romantic in me says the first two have players in them if a full season loan could beat sloppiness out of them but idk do players improve anymore or do they just work in a system or for a manager or not

We can confirm the departure of Christian Eriksen who has today completed a transfer to Inter Milan.

We wish you all the best for the future, @ChrisEriksen8.#THFC ⚪️ #COYS pic.twitter.com/O0CNKghOSv

That’s great news.

That's excellent, Lo Celso has looked really good in his last few games.

Now if we could sign someone who isn't an attacking midfielder it would be very nice.

striker, dm, fullbacks in that order of priority, but hes an excellent signing and is at least an alternative in a few positions

Agreed with that, although Son can pay CF and I'm curious as to how Dele would manage there. We don't have anyone who can play DM competently and it shows in our results.

saw the gk stats today and our two lads rank very highly in terms of save % from both inside and outside the box, which backs up the viewing evidence that we are very very soft indeed to get at, and while dm and fullback positioning are a huge part of it, the complete lack of a player up the field in any way capable of holding onto the ball is definitely a factor.

son wont solve that, lucas doesnt solve that, we dont play in a way that utilises the pace of either at CF

dele is a disaster case recently. three or four moments a game spread out among really careless and lazy decisions. hes also lost a disturbing amount of pace for a 23 year old who did not start out particularly quick.

tactically we could make do with the personnel available in the other positions imo (either we arent, or they arent listening) but there is nobody to do even the non-scoring part of the job up the pitch and its killing us

We are very awkward in transitions these days as well, Lo Celso and Ndombele are both good at playing those passes (as tbf is Winks) but there doesn't seem to be any combination of midfielders that works and they need someone better than Dier behind them who can mop up and let them play.

Dembele was the full package who could do everything but how often does a midfielder like that turn up?

if there are no players that fulfil your vital role, you need to design another role

tbh im not sure that any of our options *couldnt* be the patrol-and-pass conservative midfielder we need, but we seem to keep asking them to also be the one to break through lines, track the runs from central that son, lucas and dele dont (ie all of them) and cover both full backs at once

somebody, somewhere is doing not very much not very efficiently, and yep dembele was a genius one-off but eric dier can still do three or four things well, as can winks, if we allow that nobody is going to do it all for us like moussa did once upon a time

So my time at the club comes to an end. A sad day for many reasons. I will miss the friends I’ve made here, the staff that make the club run, playing at the amazing new stadium & of course you fans. pic.twitter.com/qyEOlNmgFx

Read Vertonghen came to Spurs in the summer of 2012. That's his eight best years as a player, and all that time he didn't win a single trophy. Nothing. Just letting that sink in.

Spurs last silverware was the prestigious Barclays Asia Trophy in 2009, under Redknapp. Which, well, lol

Still a big club though.
