@Swoos

How often do you think Doherty will play this season? I'm considering putting him in my fantasy team but I'm worried he'll be rotated. This is why Spurs' newly found strength in depth isn't a good thing!

 

It's tough to say but I think initially he'll likely be the starting RWB. He was having a really good stretch until his injury last season. And I'd just assume that Spence will have to really earn his spot as a starter. But to be honest, I have no clue how much Conte will rotate lol

 

Spence is 21 and brand new to the PL so even though I'm very excited for his arrival, I wouldn't want or expect him to be the starter until later into the season.

 

10 mins between posts lol

 

Maybe the strategy is “sign huge and win everything to pay it off”…?

 

Damn sad that he has been sold, but the saga had gone on long enough. 45+5 in bonuses isn’t bad for one year and should stuff the coffers enough to close on de Ligt.

The fact that they resigned Gnabry says they probably aren’t going to go for a front line striker. Lewa is irreplaceable but between Mane and Gnabry in the middle, things should be ok.

 

Let's face it, things will always be OK for Bayern. Well, domestically anyways.

 

Chelsea are getting a really talented kid here. He’ll do really well after his move to Crystal Palace in two years.

 

Is Puig any good? I thought he was considered a good prospect?

 

Triple post but rumours of a new contract for Saka being negotiated. VERY eager to see him tied down.

 

The “friendly” between Spurs and Sevilla getting testy lol

 

A few months back @Swoos asked almost the same question.

 

Amusingly after all who will and won’t be on the plane…

…they forgot to check that the coach could enter.

 

There’s that longtime “what if America’s best athletes played footy instead” thing…

Imagining any NBA player as a CB now.

 

Lebron as a CB would hurt people lol

 

KG makes Thiago Silva look like a child! It’s insane the more I look at the photo.

 

Interesting

 

Conte loves a wing-back. And pasta, probably.

 

Spurs fans: I trust Conte whatever he wants I’m good with it

Also Spurs fans: Lucas at wingback? Wtf are we doing???

 

In case any of the Arsenal fans here might be interested in watching this

 

Tomiyasu was good last season, right? I’ve seen some Arsenal fans mad about not having a “legit RB” and was confused.

 

Oh yes, I almost forgot we've got a friendly v Arsenal which kicks-off at midnight. Hopefully I wake up to some good news.

 

Hahah because of his job before Barca right?

He’s more of a centre back that can play RB from what I’ve seen

 

Yeah, when playing for Al-Sadd he had away games in Iran.

 

So I work for former NBA player Al Harrington and he’s at LAFC games a lot because his daughter is playing soccer and he’s getting into it now and I think about a dude who is 6’9” athletic freak playing soccer instead of basketball a lot
