If Poch goes to Chelsea, and United hammer you, it may be one of the worst months for a big club in living memory.

 

These both feel guaranteed. Then we’ll get turned down by all three main manager targets.

 

I thought Drew was Tottenham.

 

He was but now he’s a traitor

 

Drew switched with Pulisic iirc

 

The hardest part of the Spurs rebuild isn’t going to be bringing in new, young talent. It’s going to be selling off all the deadwood. Not just half the players currently getting minutes. But the plethora of players we have out on loan (because we couldn’t sell them).

Players on loan:
Tanguy Ndombele - sell
Destiny Udogie - next LWB starter
Giovani Lo Celso - I like him, but sell
Sergio Reguilon - sell
Djed Spence - backup RWB
Harry Winks - sell
Bryan Gil - I like him, but sell
Joe Rodon - sell

Current squad players that need to go:
Lloris, Sanchez, Emerson, Perisic, Hojbjerg, and then potentially Dier and Richarlison.

And then there’s the Kane stuff.

That’s 10+ players that absolutely need to go. It’s unrealistic to expect them all to go in one window but Levy needs to just accept bids lower than he’s ridiculous valuations on these players. Kane is the only exception with that. Get 100m for him.

 

The day before and I feel actually sick. I have zero expectations for us, but you naturally can’t help but have hope.

When are those 100+ financial doping charges coming in? I know I said I didn’t want them, but give me all the asterisks, I’ll take them now…

 

lmao Bruno is injured. fuck.

 

Has there ever been a manager hijack?

 

I wonder how he’ll do there. Half of Chelsea’s squad I think suit him and his style. The other half couldn’t be further from it.

 

The 2018 Spain WC coach getting hired by Madrid days before the WC?

 

Can't help but think that this is not a good call by Poch in terms of career and legacy. In terms of filling his boots with sterling, on the other hand...

 

Trying to hold in my Raheem joke

 

I knew what I'd done.

 

Yeah, it’ll depend on who they clear out but I think there’s a good core there for Poch to work with and do well with. I’m way too sad and emotional about this lol. Poch was my guy, 2014 is when I really started following the sport weekly, so it’s a bummer seeing him go to my least favorite club.

 

Two of their best players are out for the season.

 

Well done to @Garrett (I think!) for calling this. Unfortunately, they'll need to do this again after the United game on Thursday Jk.

 

Jeez you guys have more faith in us than United fans.


In other news we’ve just been linked with Livakovic, that’s not too encouraging at all at all. He’s far too similar to De Gea.

 

Went under the radar for me but the Man City U-21 squad winning its third consecutive PL2 title and the first to ever do three in a row. The board and the front office have really made that dream come to reality of becoming a dominant academy.

 

Interesting. Curious what that means for Antonee Robinson.

 

Never think your club is the most incompetent while Everton still exist lol

I think this is actually a smart move. Especially in light of how many dumb ones we make.
