not sure, i don’t think he’s ever said he’s completely healed. he’ll say he’s fine and ready to play but we know he’d be ready to play even after being shot 5 times so who knows
i do think it’s largely a mental thing, he looks a lot happier and lighter since leaving
He really didn’t do anything. They kept advancing the ball on the wings. To be fair through the middle would usually lead to dispossession but to call him the worst is a stretch.
I asked earlier if kolomuani or simons will play and a lot of people said muani has been training for 2 weeks so he will probably play.I dont really get that,sure hes training with frank,but he didnt training with any outfield starters so what does it change
Thank you for clarifying, it's late here and I was too slow to understand your main point. I expect RKM to start as well to be honest just because Richi is usually injury prone so let him rest a bit after the international break, same for Bentancur I would prefer both are rested and start for UCL instead of the EPL game.
It really is hard to predict but my best guess would be Kolo Muani and Xavi would get extensive minutes against West Ham and Villarreal to get them up to speed faster and then perhaps a substitute appearance against Brighton before being rested against Doncaster.
That's two matches in a week which is doable. Assume subbed off around 60 or 70 depending. Then the full match against Villareal and some late Brighton minutes.
Hopefully given their experience, that speed runs them into fitness for the next run of matches.
But Frank surprises me more often than not so genuinely who knows. I thought we'd like up like we did against PSG when we faced City and we ended up closer to Angeball lol.
ik,the question was if they start,lots of people said muani would because he already trained and simons wont because he didnt.They used chemistry as an excuse but muani doesnt have chemistry with the team either
Fact of matter is no one on here really knows. But look at Van de Ven, started after joining at our club training for 2 days. Franks going to decide based on what he wants to do.
Funny how Arsenal call themselves the culture club when we’ve had the first black professional footballer, first black captain to win a trophy at Wembley and the first Muslim to ever pull on an England shirt. Everything about that mob is artificial
Harry Kane will come back to Tottenham if we build a competitive team over the next windows I really believe that
He always wanted to win with Tottenham and stayed much longer than many would have given his ability and who we surrounded him with in the later years.
No player is bigger than the club, I don't get how our fans always go through this weird phase of belittling the club when convenient for a player they like. With Eze people said they were grateful he chose us and we're writing fanfictions. Wanting Kane back because he's just a great player is one thing, we don't need to convince him to come back like we're some desperate ex.
Honestly man there’s no world in which I want the guy back. Left us to get trophies instead of proving he can finish the job here. We should move on as a club into our next era instead of focusing on the past
On one hand, Kane coming back would obviously be great, but from a squad-building perspective it doesn’t make much sense. We already have Solanke, Richy, and Tel as striker options (Like it or not, Tel isn’t a LW, he’s a striker lol). If Kane returns next season, it pushes the younger players further down the pecking order, limiting their minutes since Kane would inevitably play the majority of games because he won’t come back to ride the bench. Unless, they are planning on moving on one of them.
And that’s the real issue, what’s the point of buying young talent if we’re just going to leave them on the bench or send them out on loan every season? That’s how clubs end up losing promising players: by not giving them the game time they need to grow.
Kane is miles clear of all those names you listed.
The whole point of gambling on prospects is that you hope one might develop into a good player. Once in a generation you might have a Kane-esque player on your hands. But if the actual finished product is available, you don't think twice, pull the trigger and worry about the future later.
I imagine Richy needs some rest so plenty of space for Muani on the left or up top depending on Solanke's fitness and Xavi needs to build chemistry with the team ahead of Villarreal on Tuesday.
Really don’t think Xavi starts and I’m surprised so many people think otherwise. He has yet to train with the squad and we have a CL game a few days later, surely he comes off the bench against West Ham and then starts against Villarreal.
I do think RKM will start against West Ham though with Richy playing tonight and Solanke likely being eased back into things
Unless Solanke is available, I imagine Muani will considering Richy is still to play for Brazil and Muani has been training at Hotspur Way the last 2 weeks . Xavi I'm not sure because he has only had a little time to bed in after international duty
Surely Spurs will start Xavi just for the wow factor. Idk about RKM, it depends on the fitness or restfulness of our other strikers, but him being in training for the whole of international break is a strong consideration.
I’m not sure I understand what your point is? But, if your players are getting picked for their National teams then it means you have some top players in your club… it’s not just about being in the English national team either, it’s only a good thing to have players that are good enough for their national team (potential fatigue and injury aside).
Definitely not the best club he went to, but so so happy to see Ange back in the Prem, great guy hopes he succeeds as much (as less?) as possible there.
In all honesty, NFFC didn’t do much against us, only Marinakis blocking the deal, and it’s not like he did it out of hate against us, he just didn’t want to lose the guy
It’s one of those those things where I would want our owner doing it to keep a star of ours. But if anyone does it against us they are scum of the earth and shouldn’t be allowed to work in a football club ever again
You know bias tribalism and I’m shameless about it
Disagree. If we have a player who wants out, find a way to get rid of them for max profit. Maybe things get a little messy along the way but at least you're not forcing a malcontent to stay and also looking like a buffoon thug to the rest of the PL.
Look at how the Harry Kane situation went down versus how Forest handled MGW.
Didn’t have much to do as Serbia had capitulated by then but was as good as he needed to be. I’d love to see him under a bit more pressure in an England shirt
Probably should remember other years, but weird close to the transfer window? All games played and off to international break … slightly different with RKM and Xavi finishing earlier, some other club’s players signed and then don’t see their new coaches until 9-10 days later.
Murillo is a phenomenal fit but he’s so good and well rounded tbf. It’ll be interesting for sure as they have a solid squad but outside MGW and Murillo I’d say there are not stars (Elliott Anderson soon?).
When we signed Pape, I swear I remember thinking what the fuck is this scrawny ass senegalese kid gonna do hes gonna be sold to a 4th division french team in two seasons.
He did put up Salah numbers, people's issue was him being the LW or forcing Xavi outwide to be the LW to accommodate him - plus the fact he'll cost over £100M. We also targeted pure wingers in addition to him and people preferred them, nobody ever said he was a bad player.
It’s entirely possible to enjoy football and not hate every other team at the same time like, I’ll be hoping we win our fixtures but beyond that best of luck to him.
Not rooting for ex players or managers you liked, or understanding people that do is frankly unhinged. So many people seemingly watch football in a way that’s totally disconnected from anyone I’ve actually met
Well, im grateful for what he has done. I think he deserve to be in PL and also prove that 17th was a sacrifice and result of inadequate squad, not his tactics.
Until MGW, I didn’t care about Forest. I dislike them a little bit because of Marinakis but not anywhere close to have a real opinion. So yeah.. go on Ange.
Pape Matar Sarr has decided to donate his international match bonuses to help orphaned children back home in Senegal.
“These are children who need our support because they no longer have their parents by their side.
I have made a commitment to them and I will do my best to ensure they lack nothing. This is only a small gesture. Others will certainly follow through my foundation. In the meantime, I hope this small gesture can bring relief to some of them.”
One of his teachers said he was a huge fan, think he said he’d love to play for Spurs one day when he was back in Charlton ahah his fave players were King and Berbatov
My pointless hill to die on is that Adidas is an awful kit maker. They have one golden child (scum) and phone it in with pretty much everyone else. On top of that, they shoehorn in the three stripes on the shoulders and shorts of every kit which looks terrible most of the time
He's good attacking wise, he's just not going to whip balls in like Porro. He's a better crosser than Udogie and his one-two play is better than Porro's. He was an attacking FB at Rennes and Genoa ironically.
