Bizarre really.
if Kompany gets injured their defense will crumble to every team in the league.
On top of that it isn't hard to work out Peps game plan and how to counter it.
Costa for Morata is a downgrade but only in pure footballing terms. Conte is trying to reduce the toxicity in their dressing room. He also brought Fabregas to heel. Ibra is still a class act but long term Lukaku is a good buy ( not great news for Rashford and Martial.)
How do you do that then?
Don't know why they wouldn't play them all together. Well, we do, Jose Mourinho.
Martial-Lukaku-Rashford would be great for them.
Ask the 6 teams that beat them and the 9 teams that drew with them.
Has their defense got better? Not really. The fullbacks won't make a difference with the system they play in. The CB situation is still terrid.
Think that's more Hugo speaking as the French national team captain than as Tottenham's captain
And with this final comment you prove you're exactly what I have said you are. You don't know how much and what is and isn't reasonable. You just sit there and cry "not good enough" - and isn't it convenient that you have left yourself enough ambiguity that if we did do more, you'd still have a way of whinging if it wasn't enough? Case in point, I normally don't put much stock in "ITK", but this is doing the rounds at the moment....

"I do hope we can get some in. I am a little bit worried we won't be able to get anyone"
To which Ali said;
So am I but been told we just waiting for the madness to die down, as i been told replacement rb , a ch if wimmer goes, Barkley and 1 more attacking player prob right sided."
Now, if that came to pass, would that be enough for you? Or would the players need to be of a certain value or be signed by a particular date? Would they need to be of a certain calibre (like an established international for instance)? What will you accept?

Ha ha. & that never even happened.
Some aren't bright enough to realise I meant come out of the ignore list.
Here's what I said-
Anyway, on ignore you go & join baz & schmood. What a lovely threesome you make. So that's my ignore list up to 3.
The magic number.
mouse came out ages ago because he does actually have good football related posts which he sticks to unlike you.
& mickcooper came out ages ago too because I realised he just gets grumpy & takes it out on forum members when he does.
Yea, I kinda get that. But to make that comment publicly strikes me as odd. Surely you say that kinda stuf behind close doors and just be neutral in public like Poch was.
I read that article and he doesn't actually say that. The narrative woven around his quotes is very misleading.
Not really. Hugo obviously knows that he's not ahead in the pecking order and with the WC coming up in a year any player wanting to secure a squad space in his national team will need to be playing regularly. I don't think it's a slight on us or, to be honest, the player who admits himself he hasn't performed well enough since joining to the extent that he should be in the first 11.
So playing with actual full backs won't improve their team? What role do you think full backs have in Peps system, why didn't he just buy a few wingers in stead
I wasn't thinking it was a slight on us. More on Sissoko. Sort of defeatist that it hasn't worked out at Spurs for him. I get your point though. Maybe I'm looking to deeply at it.
They bought Sané last year and Bernardo Silva this summer.
