They still had players like Lloris, Walker, Dembele, Eriksen, Vertonghen, Soldado, Adebayor and a few more They werent as poor as people made out Yes, that's my point. He was utter crap, but Levy was insisting he stay (and even nudging Sherwood to pick him over Harry Kane as he'd be "devaluing the player"). 7 goals in 52 appearances. Keinan Davis would wince at those numbers. You named like 6 guys, 1 of which was dire, and another being Adebayor. The rest of the squad was full of deadwood. The likes of Sandro, Gomes, Chiriches, Kaboul, Dawson, Townsend, Holtby etc. They were awful. Kaboul and Dawson's legs were gone (Kaboul especially, was quite sad to see). Sandro was shot. Paulinho's form fell off a cliff except for when he played Villa naturally. Basically the whole defence and midfield needed major surgery, as did the CF position. It took a year of playing Bentaleb and Mason for 30 games and Frederico Fazio in defence before that was properly fixed as well as unearthing young talent like Kane, Dier, and getting form out of the likes of Dembele, Eriksen and Lamela. I think they're in a (slightly) healthier position now. One difference is they don't have many good youth players coming through anymore, that seems to have dried up for whatever reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 5 hours ago, OutByEaster? said: Tough job that, he's a brave man. It's a very good opportunity for him. I had it in my mind he was mid 40s so was a bit shocked he is actually 57 so in managerial terms it was now or never to step up to major league. Spurs squad has loads of issues but they are not in europe so he'll have plenty of free mid weeks to really drill them on training ground. They'll do very well indeed to make top 6 but he needs to have a proper go at both domestic cups. Incredible to think they actually left Kane on the bench for the Sheffield United FA cup match.

MrBlack Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 They need to sell Kane this summer. Keep him and they'll get off to a slow start, with no funds to turn it around in January. Sell him, and they can start the rebuild this summer, and lower the expectations of the fans...which may give him a chance to last the season. Can see all number of scenarios happening for spurs next season, none of them involving a finish in the European places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Quite an underwhelming appointment but maybe I’m being harsh? If he joining us after the Gerrard fiasco, I wouldn’t be overly excited but probably more apprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkiller1981 Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Funny paper talk line in sky sports today spurs want cut price deal on raya. They only want to pay £20 mill not the £40 Brentford have agreed they would let him go for. Classic levy thinking clubs should help them out by dropping what they will accept. Maybe pay what’s asked or decide you can’t afford him and get a keeper you can afford like Frazier forester. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sacked by Christmas. i think so the stat for me when a manager is struggling is distance covered, where you can say its tactics to run round less or you can suggest that the players are half arsed, when nuno was sacked spurs were bottom for that stat by a distance, so were we when we sacked deano i expect that stat to be relevant around november too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United will just come in and pay 40m for Raya so Levy is really really thick if he continues with that approach just lowballing clubs constantly. Raya is much better than Lloris these days and Spurs aren't in europe so there's actually no motivation for top level players to join them at this point in time. Their agents will also be telling their clients to wait to see how Kane's future plays out so I can't see many major Spurs signings until major shopping spree on August 31st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zhan_Zhuang Posted June 6, 2023 Share Posted June 6, 2023 Spuds fans have already made their made up about him; he's on the backfoot already. Mourinho and now Conte gone before him...arguable they were better managers too... No surprise the fans of the team he used to coach now hate him; they are stupid many of them. Heard one or two of them expressing views as to why he is joining Spuds from a team which is the greatest and more well-known. Yeah in your tiny mind... He is moving from a league ranked EIGHTEENTH in the World to the best league in the World. The answer is simple, money, fame and well done to him for taking the challenge.
