The Bayern game is a dead rubber: both teams have already qualified for the next stage and Spurs can't finish top of the group even if we win. So we'll probably field a lot of young players - maybe even 17 year old Troy Parrott as striker.
Not at all. The start of last season had a lot of unconvincing 1 goal wins against lower sides.
Yeah last season even though they were 3rd for most of it they didn't really trash many teams. But then I did say last 6 months of Poch which covers a fair chunk of that season.
Could see sessegnon playing a part as well
Let's hope he will be back to his incisive self. I do think his appointment of João Sacramento might help, since not only he brings fresh blood, he also adds someone who's seen as meticulous, disciplined and dynamic.
He's touched up Troy Parrott? Jesus. Poor lad.
He took the match ball off off Son and gave it to Troy as it was his PL debut.
If I were Son I would be livid. Already causing divisions it seems.
He didn't take it off Son at all - he spoke to Son on his way to giving it to Parrott.
Your wummery is no good here, sounds like typical police tactics.
Probably media bs as there is very little news on the transfer fronts. I mean they let Llorente leave and now they want to sign Fellaini. Doesn't make any sense.
Jose's record with signing was so bad with us that nothing would surprise me.
He’ll be over the moon to lose Verts, Toby and Eriksen.
I'm pretty sure Verts will stay maybe Toby too.
I don't think there will be January transfers at all, according to Mourinho himself and loads of media sources:
Really? That would surprise me.
Toby I would say is 50/50.
I don’t think Toby wants to leave for football reasons, he wants one last big payday and he’s not getting that from spurs.
Sick as a parrott!
Fellaini went to China for the wedge. There's no way Levy will offer anything close to what he's earning over there. This is surely not happening.
I don't think we will sign either of them, for the first team anyway. He has Dier who he clearly rates and Dele who he has clearly given the boot up the ass that he needed. If there are to be any signings it will be at left or right back.
Matic for Eriksen swap?
does Matic have much of a transfer value? Given his high wage I doubt there is anyone who would pay much of anything for him.
This will be another mkhi-sanchez swap where both players might flop.Matic for Eriksen swap?
You clearly never followed United under Jose then. Fellaini's main role was to be the disruptor in the opposition box when we reverted to hoofball. You don't have anybody who can do a better job than him when that happens.
Cut his hair before he went.
We have Dele who he uses as the target man, even Kane can drop deep and do that role. I watched plenty of him at United. I would say there is Zero chance of signing either, given their age and the wages they would demand.
No one's coming in January, according to almost every portuguese newspaper and sport news portal. In fact, Mourinho himself said on an interview for Sport TV that Spurs are a club that hire players with a very different profile when comparing to his previous clubs with the exception of Porto. Not high wages / fees players.
I wouldn't take the no signings thing too seriously, if the right players is available we will make a move, but yeah I agree the profile of player we will be after wont change much.
And that's the way a club should be run, to be honest. The manager makes the actives of the club improve in order to achieve results while the football department brings players to the club following their squad engineering project.
If Jose really is on board with this, without a melt down, I am excited as our matches under him, baring United, have been good.
Without being a Mourinho fan, I kinda understand his meltdowns. By his own words he never saw any future on a project where the main goal was not to win titles. If there are no titles to win, the that job is not for him. And when you have such a mindset, it is very easy to get overboard by being extremely demanding with your own players (Robben himself said that Mourinho was the most demanding manager he ever had) and when you start to see different levels of energy and desire, things can only get worse and worse.
Where does that come from? The money put at his disposal points to a different conclusion.
It's not about the money available. It was how he was perceiving the situation. He was basically complaining about lack of ambition from the board and players atittude, and the more he b*tched about it, the more the team falled apart.
