The College Dropout Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 Aye the top 6 have strengthened Mostly due to weakening the rest of the league. Last season a squad of the best of the rest would win the league. They would even be competitive against a best of top 6 squad too. Most of the best of the rest players outside us and Villa joined the top 6 - Eze, Kudus, Mbeumo, Cunha, Ait-Nouri, Bournemouth deffbcd sold off around Europe. Thing is - most people think a strong EPL = strong top 6. Even non top 6 fans often think that. Imo last season had the best spread of talent we’ve seen bar the bottom 3.

Its crazy to see how the teams below the best have been picked a part one by one. Not long a go West Ham for example was seen as a threat. Now they dont stand a chance.

Cons Unlikely to play Champions League football on a regular basis. Prices himself out of a move with more chance of winning regular silverware. Well I can see why you don’t understand it then Think, man, you’re a prophet after all! There’s a bit more to it than that. It‘s too early to say tbh, particularly after the Marinakis/MGW nonsense. Fully expect Chelsea and Arsenal to come in with a wodge of cash but it does seem like he wants to come to us so we can probably ask why. The pros you give aren’t Spurs-specific - the same would apply to Arsenal or Newcastle. The cons presumably are just asking why he wouldn’t wait a year? The only teams likely to play CL on a regular basis right now are Liverpool, Arsenal and City - or teams abroad - and the same teams would be the only ones with more chance of winning regular silverware (arguably that would bring Chelsea into it). So why Spurs? Well we want him for starters, and we have done for a while. Why Spurs over Crystal Palace? More chance of regular Europe, more chance of silverware, better wages, better training facilities, better ground, North London, fans not Stripey Nigels. He might feel it gives him a better chance of getting into the World Cup team (not convinced myself), might want to play with some specific players, might really rate Thomas Frank and his plans, although Glasner seems class. I still think that if Arsenal or Chelsea come in hard with the cash he might go there, sure, but…it seems like they haven’t. So presumably the bit you don’t understand is why he doesn’t wait in the hopes somebody comes in either now or in January. Well a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, he’s more likely to be first choice, God only knows what Chelsea’s plans actually are, Arteta is a weirdo arsehole, one set of fans are glory-hunting plastics and the other are a Venn diagram of glory-hunting plastics, terminally-online children and utter cunts. And you know, Spurs are quite a big, successful club that a lot of players - and managers - would like to play for. We just are. So are you guys. It’s OK to accept that.

You literally have a fifty man squad mate! Yeah that’s the sign of a poor manager. Good managers adapt their tactics to the squad they have. Also, I have a hard time believing his tactics are so sophisticated that none of his other CBs can pick them up. edit: or he’s just full of shit and doesn’t want to say, “I want daddy to buy me a shiny new toy.” Edited August 19, 2025 by Deuce Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingArthur Posted August 19, 2025 Share Posted August 19, 2025 Eze would be winger at Arsenal. Dunno about Spurs’ formation, but he is more of a 10 than winger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
