AyeDubbleYoo Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Very interesting analysis when viewed from our POV. In particular he says Spurs are crying out for someone like Bruno to play the 6 role, when we spend loads of our time talking about moving him out of that position Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I'm glad we didn't sign Maddison, as I don't think he'd do half the pressing he'd be expected to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I don't think we'll sign anyone like that for a while TBH. Maybe if we transition to having more possession in certain games. But for now I think taking a CM out would cause more problems than it would solve. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could do with a little more creativity in the midfield though. Our excellent attack is kind of making up for it at the moment. Maybe Tonali can bring that?

Joelinton7 Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Sick of “top 6” fans just assuming they’re having Isak like he’s a free sample at Tesco. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said this week he loves the project and wants to stay. To get him they’d have to change his mind, offer him gigantic signing on fees/wages and give us well over £100m which I doubt they can afford. I know FFP is a bastard but we aren’t ran by Ashley anymore, you’re not dealing with the same club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieDazzler Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 He’s got a contract until 2028 and has the best goals per 90 in the league, I think his valuation would price most clubs out. Chelsea and Man U have PSR concerns so couldn’t afford him. City have Haaland. Liverpool have concerns in other areas. Would Arsenal drop £120m if they could get Toney, Gyokeres etc for much less.

I speak in a VERY condescending way to any "Big Six" fan I come across, explaining that they used be the Big Six, but that the writing is on the wall, and soon we will be the "Big ONE" and they will be scratching around for crumbs underneath us !!!! While what I say to them is definitely, and obviously, TRUE, I am a little bit ahead of the curve. But I think we are only three or four years of steady (but fast) progress away from that. We will be the B I G - O N E !!!!!!!!!!! Edited April 15 by manorpark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a typical Spurs player. Not sure he wouldv’e fitted into this dressing room either although admittedly he’s probably not as flash as he used to be or is made out to be.

We're 6th now. And we were 4th last year. And we're all pretty confident that next year we can do better than this year, if and when we've got an actual squad available again. At least one of those clubs is deluded if they think they're in any kind of Top 6 conversation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At any given time the Top Six in the league will be made up of different teams. It is the BIG Six the idiots talk about, or the "Sleazy Six" as I think of them !!

The College Dropout Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I don't want to jinx it. But we have been a bit fortunate that Bruno hasn't picked up any injuries this season. If he's not playing, we don't have any classy passing in midfield spaces. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they were in doubt (probably not), the club would probably be able to convince them about staying for atleast 1 more year. Unless they get an astronomical bid that is, which is also not likely imo. Edited April 15 by Erikse Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Man City struggle without Rodri most of the time. I can only imagine if Bruno was out for a period of time.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think that the club wants and expects them to stay till the end of their contracts and then to renew them. Goodness only knows what other great players will have joined us (and them) by then. There seems to be a problem, a genuine problem, with people adapting to the club that we now are. Darren Eales target audience for the "FFP rumours" was not our own supporters, it was to get a wide-ranging debate going around the EPL about FFP. He has succeeded.

Tend to agree, it doesn't really make football or financial sense to sell Bruno or Isak because we'd end up needing several new signings just to finish in the same league position or worse. Maybe wishful thinking but that's how I see it too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
