Which in the end proved to work out well by finishing in the Top 4 and getting in to the UCL Final. Plus, next season the squad will be rejuvenated. See the table again and note that from a very solid guaranteed 3rd place you just stumbled over the line in 4th BELOW Chelsea - you almost didn't get that CL place. Blinkers off mate.

Two points less than we won and it would have looked very stupid indeed....Levy got away with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But ronnie if you were talkin last season .... yeah he was central to everything and put in some awesome performances , and to go with that for his position a little turn of pace close control in tight positions.. if he could have added goals he would have been THE complete holdin middie..But for this season.. NAH for what ever reason injury, him wanting and forcing a move.. who knows.. but he hardly featured for us off the top of my head a dozen AT THE MOST and when he did ..i didnt think he was the good/effective/ influentual.. call it what u want but NOWHERE near his performances last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted May 14, 2019 Share Posted May 14, 2019 He was running out of legs rij but still good for 45 mins or an hour. The game against Fulham at Wembley he came on and turned the run of play resulting in an easy win...without him we'd have drawn or lost that one. Anyway it left us a midfielder short for half the season and with Winks out nearly cost us the CL space. Its fortunate Sissoko has found his best form really or we'd be sunk.

Blinkers off mate. My point being that the season is over now and we did get top 4. so no concern atm. My second point is that the team that finished the season so poorly won't be the team that starts next season, I reckon there could be as many as 5 - 6 changes to the squad. As for Dembele leaving in Jan, he started 7 and came on as sub in 3 = 10 apps. In hindsight. we could have done with him after Jan when all the injuries started, but when he left, the squad was strong and doing well, and he hadn't played for 3 months.

Great coach and squad, a brand new stadium, and every indication you'll be in the running for CL qualification yearly. What's not to like? I'm happy, don't get me wrong, but we need to win a title. I don't care which one, something we can talk about for the next years. Maybe we can do that in a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I think Gomes is a decent player and he's already got some EPL experience whilst on loan at Everton. Ryan Sessegnon also looks like he could be arriving as well, a good option to have as a LWB but he can also play on the right, very versatile. A lot of speculation that Rose & Trippier will be sold this summer, looks like we will be having a lot of changes for next season as I expected.

Yeah tripps had a really poor second half of the season.. his defensive game was tested to the extreme and found wanting..could be the lack of cover in front of him .. he was left solo exposed 2 many times.. players were running past him AT will and that cant happen. Though tbh.. he just looked knackered Rose.. thought he had his best games/ played well v ajax arguably our best player yet over the season he's been borderline a liabilty his defensive game has been TRULY woeful and his attacking side not much better.. being kind .... inneffective.. with tripps. I'de be tempted to give him another season.. rose,, time for him to go.. a season 2 late imo .. but there u go Ryan Sessegnon had a great year in the championship and his arrival in the prem was much hyped.. yet post that he seemed to spend an awful lot of time on the bench.. so we'll have to see.

3 minus 2 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 Zaha's up for grabs for 60 mil.. 2 strong for levy? and maybe makes malcom at barca a more attractive option? At his age with zaha there PROBABLY would nt be much of a sell on maybe makin 60 mil 2 strong for levy? who knows levy's acumen often surprises many. but would LUV to see zaha play for us.. he's the sort a game changer we could really use and at 26 bang on the money to deliver his best years.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he does. . i know its SLIGHTLY diferent but we're talkin about the man that against EVERYONES att opinion turned in a profit on the ageing crouchy.. ???? .. so yeah we're right on first glance, but you never know. he could surprise us, and that team is SO crying out for a zaha or malcom type, zaha being the pref one imo being ' if need be he can play and threaten anywhere x ross the front.. whereas malcom only seen him play well wide right and once on the left.. NOT so well. Handy having the chavs out of the transfer market arguably makes us the prefered london choise for players on the move.. new stad champs lge.

Still can't see where he would fit in the team with Son, Moura, Lamela & Dele. Zaha would become just an alternative option. I've also read that Palace want £80M which would prob price him out of a move to most clubs apart from ManUtd, poss Chelsea if their ban is lifted, can't see anyone else pay silly money for him unless Real Madrid would want to replace Bale with him, and Bale getting loaned to Spurs? Zidane wants rid of him but who's gonna pay his wages? Still won't know ti'll after the UCL Final whether Eriksen will go to Madrid or Barca as I don't think he'll leave unless one of them come in for him, so a lot depends on this before we know what's going to happen this window.

smokie36 Posted May 17, 2019 Share Posted May 17, 2019 I suspect Barca won't be in for Eriksen and Madrid look to be buying Hazard so 150k a week and I think he will stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the 600k a week includes sponsorship deals a add ons, actual wages I believe is 350k a week. It's a £10M season long loan that's been touted so it's doable if say we split the wages 50-50 @ 175k a week. Anyway I came across this which I found interesting :- How Spurs built a Stadium and made a Profit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want him anyway!! Has everybody forgotten his gutless exit from Spurs? Refusing to talk to the media at the time, and let his "handlers" take care of everything while he hid himself away.

sotsira Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Any club that would sign Bale would be taking a big risk due to his injury record plus he turns 30 in July this year. He still has 3 yrs left on his current contract and with his earnings I can't see any club prising him away from RM. On the other hand a 1 year loan deal could be worth taking a risk, cos when he's fit he's a world class match winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh ..sometimes I REALLY struggle with footie, pay an ABSOLUTE FORTUNE for a world class performer whose WHOLE CAREER barring a while when he more or less had free hand with us ,is built down the lhs and then they play him out of position down the right.. REALLY !! and then moan when he pics up injuries and doesnt perform QUITE to the level he has reached b4. i know the current coach's preference for wingers to play both sides.. even so common sence seems to somewhat lackin. Anyways yeah atm he'll be 2 expensive to buy outright Ide expect madrid ,if he leaves, will agree to a loan with an agreement to buy even then he'll be expensive BUT Would LUV to see him back in a spurs shirt.. him next to kane would TEAR the prem up NO DOUBTS. As for injuries.. give or take a few he's played as many games for madrid as he did for us in a similar amount of time.. SO.. yeah he's had a few injuries but not that many more than others of his type.. so a risk maybe maybe not.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokie36 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 The Bale situation is nuts though as he has 3/4 years of top class football left in him at least. A bargain fee possibly and quite possibly an upturn in form if played left wing with a lot of licence to roam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
