Summer transfer window.

[BainesontoastNEW]

Massive talent BUT, one caveat, he's played all of this season in the middle of a back 3, so it's a bit of a can he do it in a 4 scenario.

...as a RB

 

[Daytripper]

Fascinating last day of the season if it pans out they drop at home to Everton. That place will turn nasty and those two centre halfs better get off that pitch sharpish. They've contributed to it massively. 15 yellows and 3 reds between the pair of them.

What was he thinking with the penalty against Palace. Complete lack of concentration and composure.

Personally I think they will just about stay up but you never know.

 

[Exeter_Gently]

Van der Ven would be a very good signing though.

Rotten Egg him.

Only Good Eggs please.

…imagine two CBs with dodgy hamstrings. No thanks.

Forest 2nd goal last week. Gibbs white standing unmarked in the 6 yard box. Wheres romero? Jogging back. How many times do you see van de ven going on these 50 yard sprints with the ball up the pitch. Looks good on the eye but they both play like they're in a team that will fire them back into the game if they concede. They're not.
Whatever peoples opinion is of Thomas Frank these two were clearly not playing for that manager and were doing exactly what they wanted. Not what Frank wanted.
It looks a rotten dressing room.

 

[preposterousvelios]

yes their situation is hugely fascinating and its nice we're not the crisis club for a change!

Obvious element of schadenfreude, watching another historic PL side be in this position rather than us.

When you break it down there's so many interesting angles though. A squad that's just not very good, built by a decade of Levy penny pinching and refusing to buy real top players despite spurs having gargantuan revenues.

Fanbase that seems stunned by whats happening and unable to truly back the team in a meaningful way.

Fancy new stadium with a lot of bells and whistles but lacking in heart and soul.

Its obviously easy to compare them to Moshiri era everton, but to me they're offering a stark picture of what could happen if things go wrong with TFG (not that I think they will). Over commercialised and lacking the will to take any risks. Seems that their drive to be as profitable as possible takes precedence over any actual intention to win trophies.

Superbly put, agree wholeheartedly with your summary there

@hetion mentioned that Bobble had said were after a different profile midfielder this summer.

We’ve been after a right back for about 6 years. I’ll believe it when I see it.

 

[carolinablue232]

sell the only 10 we have? kdh prefers to be an 8 too despite moyes playing him at 10

unless we already signing tyrique and grealish can move into the 10 spot.

then again, if we get Europe we would be attracting more quality players to fill key positions, exciting times

Does Moyes ever really prefer a traditional 10?

 

[Zatara]

I think we should move Tim on as well. Not good enough and we create space on the roster. Probably would get a decent fee for PSR as well since he is still young and didnt cost too much.

He's a very good player to have in the side when we need a tackle machine and still only 22 so can develop further.

I'd take Vuskovic off them. He's the only Spurs player my mate who supports them has spoken highly of all season. The plot twist? He's on loan at Hamburg

When you look at him (19) and Nathan De Cat (17) then they're actually the prototype u21 players I can imagine Moyes would love.

 

[FTY]

Rotten Egg him.

Only Good Eggs please.

Plus we could be linked with prime Gullett and I'd need convincing given our history of Dutchman

Not in the playmaker sense no

Right. As much as I like KDH as an 8, I suspect he'll be in the same position next season.

fair point, cant recall him playing a free roaming purely playmaking kind of 10
