AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 (edited) Does Spence not play LB for Spurs? Guess an additional option for free he's still a decent player. Edited January 23 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibierski Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 What are Spurs doing For all their money, they are running things close to falling into a relegation scrap properly next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Who do Liverpool make a play for at LB this window though? We were lining one up, and they got sniff so making a play? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 36 minutes ago, Dr.Spaceman said: Its a new manager in the summer though. As a player you'd want assurances of your longer term place in the team, surely? How much choice do managers have these days? At most clubs, managers get what they are given. + Mateta is off and Nketiah isn't good so they need someone for right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh but he’s a right back. Udogie seems to always be injured. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we have Porro and Spence at RB and Udogie and the new Brazilian kid at LB. Presume Robertson is supposed to be tiding us over while Sousa beds in. Spence can basically play anywhere. For those who may not have realized, Ben Davies had a serious injury that means he’s out for the season and maybe longer. This is presumably who Robertson’s supposed to replace. I don’t fully back it but as a cheap stopgap I guess, whatever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been playing left, but partly because Udogie has been injured so much and Davies has been injured/old. At times he’s looked better at LB than RB tbh. He did a decent job at LW against Dortmund. Ideally I’d like him on the right, but ideally I’d like a lot of things to be different, so we’ll see. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not but we’re probably insured against Davies’ injury so that will offset it. We also just need some experienced heads on the pitch. I dread to think what the average age of the team was that was trying to close out the game against Dortmund. That’s unsustainable. Gallagher and Robertson - if he comes - provide some real experience and nous that will hopefully avoid any setbacks being quite so debilitating.

My impression of this Spurs era is that you’ve become a shit Chelsea. A young and talented squad that lacks experience and leadership. And the overall club doesn’t have a productive vision or purpose so it’s all a bit aimless and without heart. A soulless club imo. Is that a fair take?

I’m not sure it means what you think it means. Nah. We’re not like Chelsea at all, and I don’t think many clubs are tbh. Brighton maybe closest with the multiclub stuff and buying lots of young players from abroad. Seems a bit weird and forced to link us. We’re in a peculiar position because the person that has effectively been the club - outside the fans, remember them? - for 20+ years was suddenly booted just a few months ago with the season well underway. We’re in a bit of limbo behind the scenes and on the pitch - but the fans are still here. We know what we are, and what we want, and that’s part of the reason why Frank is under pressure. Plus all the losing. I can talk forever about this but it’s the wrong thread. Bottom line, we need to get the DoF and Head Coach right. The we can talk about the rest. The soul is still there. Back to the thread - somebody said Robertson’s been doing some work at LCB which would make this move make a lot of sense. Straight replacement for Davies, allows us to do 3-4-3 which makes sense with the personnel. Broadly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the outside it looks like you've bought some highly rated youngsters and hoped it would all work out eventually. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he's far better than Chalobah was at that age, and he hasn't done too badly for his career. Tyrique George I'm less sold on being a talent. CHO IMO is the benchmark and he doesn't come close.
