Tiresias Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Does anyone think Ten Hag will do well? I am sure he would if able to shed all the dead weight and build fresh but not sure that is ever going to happen.

They’ve got loads of money and the name, plus presumably their youth facilities are terrific. The team just got 6th. For all their obvious issues it really wouldn’t take much to have them be properly good again. Look at Conte. It seems to be hard for people to remember how many problems there were at Spurs pre-season and early season with all the Kane stuff and the obvious lack of faith in Nuno from all angles. Now look at the difference. Ten Hag should be spending next year setting himself up for the 2023-24 season. He has three transfer windows and a year in which he can use the Europa to blood youngsters or whatever he wants. Nobody should expect them to be guaranteed top four next year, but you should be able to see a significant difference by the end of the season, both on and off the pitch.

gbandit Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Spurs are an interesting one though, don’t you think Leffe? I don’t watch a huge amount of your games but if Conte goes or Kane or Son then things look massively different for you again, right? I would say that Man U don’t even have that sort of spine of two amazing players who can dig them out. I think they need major changes in a lot of positions and they need to get at least three world class players who can perform quickly to get them up in the CL spots. If things don’t change for them quickly it could get really nasty there Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they need major changes in a lot of positions and they need to get at least three world class players who can perform quickly to get them up in the CL spots. If things don’t change for them quickly it could get really nasty there Yeah, this is where me not watching much footy recently doesn’t help . I do take the point about Conte being more able to make short-term improvements, but the whole “Spurs would be nothing without Kane and Son” narrative is slightly weird. Heard it or variations of it a million times and I never know exactly what to say. Yes things look massively different if we lose our manager or our best players? If the point is that a team only got top four because their manager and best players are really good then I find it hard to argue against. If the point is that those individuals are more likely to leave Spurs because they can go to somebody better with more money then I find it hard to argue against. It sounds like you’re arguing that Spurs are different from the other “top” teams like Man City or Liverpool (or Man U, or Chelsea) because their success is on weaker foundations?

gbandit Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Hmm, I guess I was going for, Tottenham are a success and can maintain top four football if they keep Kane, Son and Conte. If even one of those goes I think top 4 is in doubt. I get what you mean that any team losing one of their best players makes a big difference but I think the other top 4-6 sides aren’t so heavily weighted towards a handful of players. My wider point though was that Man U don’t even have players who come close to being able to transform them into a genuine top 4 team either as a baseline across the squad or in having 2-3 amazing players that can drag them over the line so they’ve got an enormous rebuild job Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top 4 is already in doubt for anyone other than Man City and Liverpool tbh. Chelsea still have a billion good players out on loan who could be recalled, but have really struggled in recent weeks. Spurs have got to strengthen their squad to even think of coping with CL and the PL. West Ham and Leicester will be better next year with fewer distractions and you’ve got money. On Spurs, if either Kane or Son go you’re left with Conte, the other one, and a shit-ton of cash. If Conte goes then it will depend upon who comes in but it’s a pretty strong first XI either way. The problem as always with Spurs is that up to now there have always been at least five teams willing and able to spend significantly more on transfer fees and wages.

leffe186 Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Is Man U’s squad really that shit? Genuine question. Conte just closed out the season with a back three of Ben Davies, Eric Dier and Davinson Sanchez. I can’t believe a top manager couldn’t make something good out of whoever they’ve got.
