There’s probably a really good in-depth article on this out there. There are so many factors. On the one hand a team with lots of internationals might not get a break, but a team with few internationals might be rusty. Someone made the point that it might actually be better than a number of mid-season internationals because they’re all flying to and staying in one place (rather than, say, Bruno Guimaraes flying back and forth from Europe to South America). Is, say, Ben Davies worse off now than Kulisevski? Chances are he gets three games in the sun and then a couple of weeks off, versus Kulusevski just taking an extended break. Injuries are obviously a massive concern, but presumably bigger teams have both more players involved and a bigger squad to deal with it. If, say, it’s a Korea vs England World Cup Final then Son and Kane will be knackered and whoever loses will be devastated. But if they both go out in the first knockout round (infinitely more likely) then they’ll get a really nice mid-season rest.

But you probably do have to include NY just on population.

Link worked for me. And bloody hell, that was some read.

This season is going to be so bizarre. Guessing the wildcards and specials are going to be tweaked again.

My early thoughts are I should stop doing it because there are bound to be half a dozen times when I forget and get annoyed.

Not any more…

Presume it’s basically an aggregator.

He isn’t even mentioned in SpursCommunity’s transfer rumours So much bullshit.

Oh man I’m really sorry but I re-read my post. I meant he’s amazing because of how much of a narcissistic bellend he is . He posts a million times a day - either he’s a 20-something on coke or a 14-year-old on Coke. A while ago he posted a whole thread on how amazing Bissouma was going to be at Arsenal. Then when Spurs signed him he posted some stuff about how he wasn’t all that and actually Tielemans was the guy. Sorry, mea culpa.

All rumours tbh. That’s why I’ve got no patience for people getting overexcited one way or another at this point. I mean, just in the last two pages Spurs have been in for half a dozen people, one of which was completely made up and still got a bite . So much of what’s out there is bullshit and gets repeated as fact.

This guy is kinda amazing. Edit: The Twitter guy I mean.

I mean, if West Ham pay back all the money taxpayers put in then sure.

Perfect.

Fair, which makes his position even more secure.

How did Parrott do?

Isn’t that exactly the point? The minimum bar is a SF/Final appearance. It always is. And he’s cleared it both times. Not that I don’t think he’s tactically moribund, but he’s done what he’s supposed to do. I think he’s a bit shit, and England are dull as fuck under him, and I wouldn’t shed a tear if we ditched him now…but I guess I’m truly just not all that fussed about stupid fucking friendlies at a stupid time of the season.

He’s 26 too. I’d be very surprised if Spurs let him go unless it’s a very big bid.

Yeah and tbf some Spurs fans definitely don’t rate him. I just think that you look at the run-in with Højbjerg and Bentancur in the middle and it’s hard to argue he can’t do a job.

Much more concise way of saying it . He strikes me as a perfect CM for a Prem League club that is up-and-coming, and a perfect backup CM for a PL club that has already come.

There’s differing opinions among Spurs fans. This was posted on Spurscommunity and I think it’s a fair reflection of the general feeling: Seems fair. Supposedly he’s the most vocal in training on asking/questioning Conte about tactics etc.

Which other shit exactly like this were you thinking of?

Reminiscent of old-school Brazil tops.
