Really liked the look of Harry Winks for Spurs when he came on. Some really nice touches. He any good leffe?

 

Very tidy player. Trouble is, we have a ludicrous number of young CMs coming through. Bentaleb, Mason, Winks, Carroll, Alli, Ward and Onomah, plus others like Veljkovic, Sonupe & Pritchard. Poch can't play them all - we've already had to sell Luongo (another excellent CM) because we just had too many. The fear is that the ones we let go will turn out to be the better players in the long run.

 

We're crying out for 433, but Poch is fixated on 4231.

Unsurprisingly we look a completely different team with Neymar and Messi onboard. We're so dependant on those two - and Suárez - but I guess it's unavoidable.

 

I think if you have the three best attackers in the world you will miss them :lol:

What do you think of the pre-season scheduling mate ?

 

Having 2 high profile games in a row 72 hours before the season kick off away at Old Trafford....isn't it a bit strange ?

 

Of course you could tell, players aren't fatigued at this stage of the season and such high profile opposition will get them more in the mood, but it's very strange scheduling. as you fielded 2 decent sides as well.

 

Spurs spending this summer is at negative 15....surely there'll be one more striker/midfielder purchase ?

 

There will have to be a striker at the absolute minimum, particularly if Ade and Soldado leave. I'm expecting a striker, a player who can play wide forward and possibly a DM. There's absolutely no way that we're done. Rumour is Berahino plus one or two guys from Germany.

 

I could live with just Berahino in, although I can't see us pulling up any trees if he's the only addition. With the money others have spent, we'd be lucky to get top 5 again.

 

As for the pre-season? I dunno tbh. I mean, it's hard to turn down a chance to play Real Madrid/Milan/Bayern for all kinds of reasons, but clearly money and exposure is high up the list. Do we lose out in prep work for Man U? Of course. Are they pointless friendlies? Not a chance. The eye is clearly on the long-term, and it will have been a fantastic experience for all those kids. I'm not unhappy with the pre-season: I'm far more concerned about the lack of depth up front.

That West Ham starting XI. Wow.

 

Bilic should be under massive pressure to perform now in the league for doing everything he can to get them knocked out of Europe the past two rounds.
