Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
It's a good point, and largely what Tottenham is about right now, we can't go and bring in the best with either money or reputation so we have to get things that might be the next best thing. Unfortunately when we get it right someone takes those things away from us.
We have a better, mate
Why did you photoshop Chris Ramsey into that picture?
What we really need is a Utd like "Golden generation" of manager and 4 or 5 players all hitting peak together. That could elevate the club past having to sell on the quality...
Eriksen, Lamela, Paulinho, Holtby, Paulinho, Jan, Lloris...
We've got the ingredients, we just need a chef.
The bloke at Chelsea played football. His dad was also coach.
Not to any significant level. He dropped out to get into coaching and education, in the eyes of professionals and pundits he'd be seen as a technocrat in the same vein as AVB.
And Sacchi, one of the greatest coaches ever, didn't. It may help, but it's not a pre-requisite. If playing professionally is a factor in understanding football, let's all log-out.
What 'powerhouses' have they upset in Europe?
What relationship does he have with players and do you think Dan or Eriksen would give a fuck when Real Madrid offer 60m?
They beat Man City 3-1 home and drew 2-2 away last season. I do think a player like Eriksen (who has previously turned down big money moves) would be interested and even Jan could be swayed by the opportunity of working under a manager he believes could bring him CL...
Bale and Modric had those managers, mate - didn't stop them. Sorry, for me these kind of 'special relationships' mean very little players when the big clubs come knocking and are largely romantiscied by fans, if anyting
I don't know about the powerhouses upsetting bit and the Real Madrid scenario is true, but I think having a manager who Verts and Eriksen are familiar with can only be a plus.
Manchester City, Barcelona, and AC Milan the year we knocked them out.
Not to take anything away from Eriksen or Jan - but Bale and Modric were certainly more proven than Eriksen when they left and judging from last night's CL victory, Real aint looking for center-halves...
Also, Bale did stay a season under AVB and didn't get CL - so he left for his boyhood dream club...
Eriksen has done more than enough to prove he'll adhere to his professed "plan." The rest of them, sure say what you will. But Eriksen deserves more than to be lumped in with such a lot.
AVB had Falcao, Hulk, Moutinho, etc.
FDB had a team of youth players and constantly lost his stars.
How exactly?
Read this article someone posted yesterday:
http://www.espnfc.com/blog/_/name/espnfcunited/id/14225?cc=5739
At the time of those 'big' wins he had Verts, Eriksen, etc
Look - I think the similarities are striking but more so, the most important question for me remains - is Levy willing to give another young manager a chance to build a project seeing what happened with AVB? Why would it be any different is results turn sticky for a few weeks?
