Wish they'd scrap this stupid rule where you have to have so many English man. How the hell does that benefit the national team when clubs like Chelsea do that just to help fill their quotas. Would be better off just letting the rich clubs do what the fuck they want, and he goes to someone like Leicester or Stoke where he'll actually play.

Didn't Victor Moses play quite a bit last season? Won't he just be converted to be a right wing back type and take his place?

Moses has excelled in that role, but I do not believe you can just put any random attacking player in this position and expect them to do the same. Why would Cheslea not just buy a wingback if they wished to replace Moses?

 

I think Oxlade-Chamberlain would be competing with Willian, Pedro, Fabregas, and Bakayoko to play in the centre or as part of the front three. His versatility could be useful, tbf.

Osasuna have replaced Riviere with Xisco. :lol:

 

Xisco > Riviere

 

If there was any further indictment of how shite Riviere is, there it is.

Xisco still playing ?? I thought he would have been pulling Bulls out of a ring by now.

Surely he could do that in the current system? It's the the players/agents to blame not the system.

Assuming they're getting on the cheap that's a coup for Chelsea. Really rate the Ox. He'll get a lot better under a different manager imo.

 

I think so too, although I haven't been watching him regularly enough to say so more definitively. When he first came on the scene I thought he had the lot.

Well I presume some of it is to do with money but Liverpool are also just a way bigger club than Southampton

 

[southampton] reported Liverpool to the Premier League, suspecting an illegal approach before Liverpool released a statement apologising and confirmed 'we have ended any interest in the player'.

 

Uh huh. Good job we have these rules in place, eh?

Completely separate point but why aren't Spurs spending money or being linked that heavily with anyone bar Barkley (who probably wouldn't make your team) this summer?

 

A bit of a mixture of things. There are no glaring holes in the first XI for a start, and a couple of kids on the fringes, so Poch might be looking to bring them through and not place obstacles in their way. Ideally you want to bring in somebody to improve the first team, but our first team is really good, so we end up competing with people who can pay twice as much in wages, and most targets are non-starters. We were in for Martial, Batshuayi, Willian etc and then just got blown out of the water by clubs that can afford to pay a shit-ton of money to somebody who's not first choice. We have been in pole position for a young Argentinian centre-back, but supposedly now PSG are interested, so that's probably the end of that. Then you factor in the new stadium and the potential risks.

 

It's a combination of things. From our point of view, we've been careful for years, have a strong squad, and have a manager who places great emphasis on continuity and togetherness. External factors - there are ten or more clubs with greater resources competing against us in the same market, and we are building a new stadium. Many of the natives are getting restless, but not everyone.

 

I'd be a lot more confident if we hadn't made the utterly baffling and deeply concerning decision to throw money at Sissoko. Most of our decisions are justifiable, even if I disagree, but that was so obviously wrong-headed it makes me nervous.

I used to fucking despise Spurs. Now have a great deal of respect for them as a club. Sensible, well run, and a good record of bringing through top young players. I hope the consistency of keeping together a core of players, without adding too many new faces, serves them well so they can push the likes of that cunt Mourinho, City and Chelsea to the wire for the title.

Agree with toon25. As much as it pains me to say, very very impressed with Spurs over the last 5 years. They better start picking up trophies soon as otherwise all their good work will amount to nothing.

 

In a way, I wish they win some silverware as it will provide hope for a number of clubs.

I think these loans between premier league teams has to stop I've just read that Chelsea could have six players on loan to other premier league teams which means six teams that will have weaker teams against them than anyone else, that can't be fair.

Aye absolutely needs to be ended, it's ridiculous

 

Must only have have 15 players between 19-23 and 20 players 23+ or you cannot sign any one else in that age range. No loans between premiership clubs. Would stop clubs stockpiling players.
