Kolek planning to go pro
It didn't go the way they wanted, but, a nice achievement as Tim Ream made his 200th appearance for Fulham today.
I'll stick with my opinion on Gold. He'll be in foul trouble within the first eight minutes.
Man, Leeds are the real deal, deserved a point IMO. Just the kind of breaks that it seems like Liverpool have gotten in the final 10 minutes of games the 18 months or so.
Come home, Gareth!
A Bale-for-Dele swap is ... interesting?
I worry about the price, the team chemistry and is wing play what really ails Tottenham?
Gonna be hilarious to watch them implode over the next 18 months, because they could add Reguilon, Bale, and keep Dele, and they're still finishing no higher than 3rd in the Prem. Would that be worth it to win the Europa League?
For Spurs, yes. Any trophy will do.And third in the PL isn't exactly a shameful showing, you know?
Especially when 1 and 2 are City and Liverpool. The move looks risky to be sure, but something needed to be done
Not shameful at all, just amusing to watch one of the more conservative clubs over the last decade go (essentially) all in on big names like Jose, and potentially Bale, when their ceiling is most likely the second tier European competition or a domestic cup. Very anti-Spurs IMO.
They made the UCL Finals and finished fourth just over a year ago. And didn’t build that stadium to maintain that. Not saying they are making good moves but they don’t aspire for the ceiling you mention.
The whole point is that if you go with a Bale, Jose front, your essentially setting you window at about 2 years. By then Jose will have worn out his welcome and Bale will be 33. Why would you not continue to invest on young upcoming players that may be under-evaluated by some? That doesn't even take into account that Spurs largest problem has been by-and-large defensively. Now Vertonghen is gone, Alderweireld is 31. Sanchez is very good, but then you're going to relying on Dier, whose best position IMO isn't CB. Unless they have someone coming from the academy that is about to break through, they'll struggle to keep clean sheets again.
Which of you cats are spurs? I know jesmu is. Who else?
These are all very fair questions and criticisms, but also a long way from what you were writing earlier about Spurs' ceiling, aspirations and spending.
Sounds like Bale and Reguilon to Spurs are both imminent, if not #donedeal.
