Would swap Tel for LWB from here on. Send Tel to the U21s - nowhere near it. Solanke has to go January - Championship level player. Gray is not a LB or a captain. None of our players have any hunger or anger - where is the mentality?
Here are my Spurs player ratings after a really odd game. Tottenham lost but had 17 shots, played some good football, showed some spirit and a bit of direction, but were undone by three fine finishes. Maddison gave me hope as well. football.london/tottenham-ho…
Should have kept Lankshear and sold the coaster that is Solanke. Been utter shite since he joined - scoring an odd fluke goal when fit.
Tel is a waste of a shirt - has no end product and no football brain - ineffective in every game.
Absolutely essential. 1st name on the team sheet at the moment.
Nowhere needs scum like her - hound her out back to where she came from.
Am thinking the same.
He has huge natural talent, speed and a massive work ethic on pitch. Bit of coaching on decision making and I think we could have a real player. Has a point to prove and he was wronged - tested today he would not have been banned.
One of our biggest issues has been quality of technique in attack - not being able to hold ball up to allow us to get up pitch and not having the threat of speed on turnover. Both those fixed now. Opposition will be less bold in press against us.
Look at that list. It’s epic. There are few gambles in there but in general, anyone who doesn’t agree that it’s the best transfer window we’ve ever had is just angry for the sake of being angry.
I wanted Ndiaye but obviously he’d rather join a champions league club who’ve won the league in 6 of the last 8 seasons. We have to know where we stand.
And that list of players after two consecutive 17th place finishes and no Europe should be commended. If you’re still not happy, grow the fuck up seriously

This photo says it all. Who TF is organising? Gray should be out right. Robertson should be out left. Van Hecke should be one right, VdV one left, Tonali 5 yds right. Then you have no problem. Schoolboy positioning.
Absolute guff yet again, zero back bone zero leaders zero quality zero everything, it’s astonishing how bad we are again, we look like conceding every single time a team goes forward, we have no identity whatsoever, EMBARASSING #Spurs

Tel is f**king awful. Lazy. Has no end product.
Gray is 2-3 yrs off being ready for this level.
Our wings were where they exploited.
Need a new left wing urgently.
End product is not there. Think there are we players from last season showing they belong in this upgraded team - Porro, VdV and Bentancur. Tel and Gray not at the level yet.

Maybe Gabby should instead spend all his money in Villa’s club shop? That would be legitimate revenue they could spend on players.
🚨🎙️ Gabby Agbonlahor says he’s decided to go to FRANCE for a Jay-Z concert rather than the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium so he doesn’t give #THFC any more money! 🤣😭
Incredible level of anti-Spurs pettiness from Gabby...
What are the chances of Emi Martinez fee to Villa from Chelsea being £10.97m?
If Aston Villa fans talk about spending again please refer them to this tweet ⬇️
Chelsea sign Rogers for £117m
Middlesbrough receive £20.3m from sell on %
Villa left with £96.7m
Villa sign Garnacho with obligation to buy £42.67m
Villa left with £54.03
Villa sign Jackson £47.5m + £17.5m add on's
Villa have signed Garnacho + Jackson for Morgan Rogers and £10.97m
Whichever party in Ireland proposes zero tolerance enforcement and hard detention to clean up our streets is going to runaway with next election. People will soon get the message. 99% of the population can then live safe again.
Replying to @panks_79
Think generally in Ireland and UK - need to get back to ruthlessly enforcing standard of behaviour and decency - thousands of boot camp/borstal places and adopt zero tolerance - regardless of race, ethnicity, background - no excuses accepted. Behave or out of society til you can.
City fan complaining about the unfairness of PSR? Really?
This guy talks so much sense.
For all those having a big cry about Villa and Newcastle being "asset stripped", be honest now and ask yourself this;
Were either of them actually close to winning the title?
Had either of them actually established themselves as a CL team season after season?
The answer to both is no.
Neither were just 2 or 3 players away either.
Neither were going to be title winners in a period where Guimaraes/Isak/Tonali or Konsa/Tielemans/Watkins were going to be title level players. The windows didn't line up.
Both now get to rebuild, but both are doing it from a much higher base level than they first did it after promotion/PIF.
Both are also doing it with much higher revenues than they had back then too.
Both get to reset their wage bill, both are able to get considerably younger with higher upside, and both will be free to attack next summers transfer window without SCR shackles.
This is a one year reset for both, from teams that were not going to win the PL or CL, and allows them to build even better teams for the future.
Also, find the writing off of Newcastle and claims they'll be a bottom 5 team hilarious.
Massively improved their goalkeeping department.
Improved their defensive group, which was already strong.
And their attack will be better than last season purely on the basis that Wissa, Elanga, Woltemade and Ramsey can't be as poor as they were last season. Plus Osula will get more opportunities.
They've taken a big step back in midfield, but signed two outstanding young midfielders and if they can add Nico G and get the best out of him, their midfield might be better in two years than it was last year. Bamba is a fantastic talent.
As for Villa, I'd be willing to bet that the decision makers there are happy for Tielemans, Digne, Konsa, Watkins and Dibu to go.
All within the last 24 months of their deals and Villa will not have wanted to be on the hook for their next contracts. All would be looking for their last big contract and all are likely to be in sharp decline within 24-30 months. Leaving 30-36 months of toxic money, which would have completely screwed Villa for the next 5 years with SCR.
Both sets of fans need to be patient. It's frustrating without doubt, but you can't built from Championship calibre a decade ago to what you want to be in a short period of time.
And let's again be honest, the reason there's a big gap between you both, especially Villa, and the "big 6", the reason Spurs have overtaken you both, is because your clubs were horrendously mismanaged for two decades apiece.
It took Spurs a long time to build themselves into a big revenue outfit, you'll do it quicker because there's more money in the game now.
Build properly and be respected when you win the big honours.
Nobody wants another City or Chelsea. You shouldn't want to be another City or Chelsea. Nobody respects their titles because of the cheating. So crying about not being allowed to cheat is a particularly bad look.
