Agree with his big point that people are writing off Spurs too quickly but the way he justifies it is mostly nonsense. Market value matters but it really shouldn't be used like that. I mean he's flashing a combined eleven that has Porro playing as RB over Trippier due to almost 4x bigger market value ffs and Kulusevski and Porro getting permanent transfers doesn't really make them stronger than they were last season as he implies.

McCormick Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) I dunno, besides Porro, I’d somewhat agree with that combined xi (maybe slightly harsh on Joelinton and you could easily shoehorn Isak in that team as well though). We can all agree that a lot of our squad options aren’t great either. Edited July 25, 2023 by McCormick Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can all agree that a lot of our squad options aren’t great either. Yeah but I don't think you can make a combined eleven just based on player's market value. Like I said, I agree with his general point but his arguments were IMO really poor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 If Spurs sell Kane they’ll finish 8th or lower. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted July 25, 2023 Share Posted July 25, 2023 Sickening that this thread is chatting poorly ran criminal enterprises that aren’t in Europe and not the fine work of Zalgiris Vilnius who held Galatasaray to a 2-2 this evening. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viana Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 I still believe Spurs need the right signings to change the culture at the club and build a winning mentality under Ange Postecoglou. Eddie Howe is proof that you can build momentum quite quickly with the right ingredients, and he did a tremendous job of keeping us up in his first season. I don't think that escape would have been possible without Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn. Both came from successful environments that placed a high demand on accountability. I think we had a group that was receptive to change before that, but sometimes you need one or two to show the way. As of right now, I don't know if their new signings fit that description. Perhaps he can drag that quality out of certain individuals, but I want to see how they react to their first setback under Ange. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paullow Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 This Rakow vs Qarabag match on TNT Sports has been class, genuinely , 3-2 to the hosts in injury time, but so many twists and turns, and finely poised heading into the return leg, especially with no away goals rule now.

They could certainly finish ahead of us because they're not a terrible team and we may struggle with Europe, but I feel like I'm missing something with the amount of pundits and journalists who think Spurs are going to suddenly do well this season. Their transfers so far only improve them slightly, they have a manager who's never been in a league that's close in standard to the PL and the man who seems to win most games by himself is likely to leave. Seem to be a lot of assumptions that every single player who underperformed at Spurs (and Chelsea) last season will suddenly get back to normal next month.

He wouldn't get ahead of Kane, and while he's a superb footballer, I'm not convinced he walks into a position on the flanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Someone (probably @Paullow) is gonna have to explain to me how we end up getting six teams qualifying , from what’s left of the qualifying phase? Realise there’s a ‘League Path’ and a ‘Champions Path’, but can’t work out what’s what? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paullow Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 Yeah, I would have just posted the same above wiki link. 6 places available, 4 via Champions route and 2 via League route. 2 teams get byes to the Champions route Play Off round, a one tie shoot out to get through, and will be joined by 6 other teams (still TBD, and still a while off), whereby the 4 winners will advance to the group stage proper. No teams have Playoff round byes in the League route, but eventually 4 teams will make it to that round, possibly Rangers, and those 4 will compete for the 2 final spots.

Will be tough for Rangers, as you'd likely expect them to need to beat PSV to progress to the group stage proper (according to that wiki page anyway) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was thinking more along the lines of getting a lot of away tickets and being pretty easy to get too for the masses for that one. Shakhtar look to have agreed a deal to play their games in King Kevin’s Hamburg this season. Could be a very canny away day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ste Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 I have a habit of using about half a bottle of shower gel before opening something else, so I was sorting them out to make some kind of sense of the mess in the bathroom cupboard, and found this beauty.
