The Kulusevski signing is weird. With Porro and Emerson there im guessing the 3-4-3 is out the window. Maybe he will play him as one of the 8/10s?

Yeah they have, they signed Vicario from Empoli.

Tottenham have verbally agreed an initial £17.2m deal to sign Empoli goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario 

There are only so few who who are assured their gig in the EPL, Pep easily, Kloppy, maybe Arteta the rest will all be on notice depending how their 1st half of the season prevails so I don't see Ange being set up for the fail for most are in similar circumstances.
Only so few retain their core from this past season, Spurs is one that needed better buying the last couple years but it is what it is Levy living off Kane and he would know it for sure.......
Look forward to our LFC game/s Ange.

They might want full backs too. That squad has been put together for Contes wing backs. Ange prefers a back four. It's probably unrealistic but Kyle Walker looks out of City. 

Tottenham fans cooled off on raya from what I read. 

Nah they're just raiding Chelsea....

Son wants to stay. Isn't interested in the oil money on offer.


They haven't pulled out of the Raya Deal. Brentford are wanting too much and Spurs are being Spurs by not offering enough. If Munn is part of the decision making. I'm sure they will meet somewhere in between.

The rest is pretty accurate. They might get Maddison over Newcastle because his wife is about to pop out twins, so family reasons are a factor.

Wouldnt worry about it too much guys... With the rate that the Saudi league is doing business this summer, Spurs may be the only club in England left with a full squad .... lol

He will most likely get sacked by Christmas and before you say "look at Celtic", the two propositions couldn't be any dissimilar. 

Tottenham are giving Ange a rusty old sports car and telling him to be a mechanic and restore it to its former glory. 

All the while the teams around him are buying brand new sports cars. 

My feeling as well. Ange took Brisbane from a top 6 side under Farina to just avoiding the wooden spoon in his first half season there. Brisbane were rewarded in the following seasons for their patience.  Ange jumped from MVC who already had a strong squad. Yokohama, like most Japanese sides have decent patience. At Celtic Ange was able to rebuild without too much pressure because of the small number of competitive teams. Will Spurs have patience.  I  hope so but I have my doubts. If he is there at the start of next season then I expect the 2024/2025 season to be quite eye-opening for lot of his naysayers. Just worried about EPL teams penchant for not giving managers time.

Yeah I think he will need to work miracles.

Spurs have just pulled our of the Raya deal. They're 8th and have very little bargaining power. 

They desperately need;
- Goalkeeper
- Left sided CB
- Number 6
- Number 10

Kulu is not an Ange signing and they are also considering Longlet who is too slow to play a high line. 

Doesn't look like Ange is getting backed in the transfer market at the moment.

im looking forward to seeing Ange in the PL but doesnt anyone else feel like he is being set up to fail 

Totenham need at least a 300m spend over 5-6 players to be 'decent' next season and it feels like they arent getting shit 

This one could get dicey if Spurs try to block the move and Son wants to cash it all in at the twilight of his career, he turns 31 next month. 

Moving forward, decent replacement. Hopefully our European run will improve (alongside our squad getting a wee bit stronger).


Edit: We also manage to convince all the backroom staff to stay put and not travel to North London. 

I think Maddison is more of an "Ange" signing but dont think Newcastle will miss out due to funds... Needs to sign Raya or a another keeper first IMO.... 

Son has reportedly been offered obscenely filthy money to go to the "Dustbowl Collectors edition tournament pty ltd" apparently.. Wonder if he will go, seems like he is a pretty focused player who is loyal to Spurs????

Already HAD a couple of sackings in his CV mate... dont think that was IT at all... 

Exactly this

He jumps at the top of the curve every time

If he'd gone to the World Cup he'd have a sacking on his CV and be back A-League hopping

Popovic should have looked and learnt to do the same.

Papas joining back up ?

Surprised by that.  Kulusevski isn't the type of winger Postecouglou likes- too slow.  Perhaps he'll play him deeper as a playmaker.

Dejan Kulusevski has joined Spurs on a permanent deal until 2028. 

Son had hernia op - he's with his NT and already been doing recovery trianing sessions, he might even get a run in games vs Peru and El Salvador.
Every single Club fan base has some % who disagree with new appointments be it coach or players.
Celtic is nothing to compare with Spurs, he had to deal with blending new players with an ok core and record and deal with 1 major foe in the whole comp.
Now he's in the BIGgest PIT, maybe why Conte spilled the beans about the cancerous culture in Spurs for an eternity having promise but never delivering out of frustration.

The player cleanout is interesting and mentions of the leadership pairing needs to go, Dier for one absolutley, he's just not good enough, very Maguire like.
What I find curious is it mentioned Hojbjerg, he's a brilliant midfiled worker imo, AP would be silly to lose him.
Another despite his age (30 sure isn't old for that level) left on a free now was Moura, Conte didn't like using him but another hard working creative player that always puts in.
Anyway Levy better stump up the $$$'s for by observations player movements are looking massive this summer and the competition between Clubs convincing player managers/and player demands is going OTT.

Kalvin Phillips for the 6. KP has got his wish of winning trophies so it’s now time for him to return to playing some football. 

He's not strange. 

He is is ruthlessly ambitious.

We were inches from not qualifying with the last kick of the game to Syria.  No-one was expecting anything from him in 2014.. but another zero points and negative GD in 2018 would not be a good look for him, and that was a distinct probability.

Made me snort my drink when he said to the Scottish media :" You'll be surprised how long I'll be here (at Celtic)"

Well he wasn't lying!  They all were. LOL.

Spurs start Brentford away then to Old Trafford then Bournemouth away. Play all 3 promoted teams by mid October which probably means they'll be tougher then on their high than bogged down in December.

Son reported to be out for the season with surgery to a recurring injury. 

Big blow for Ange.

As an aside, I've digested a lot of content in the last week and seems like the fan-base are split on Postecoglou and there is immense hatred of the board. 

Things were not rosy when Ange got into Celtic but Tottenham's cancerous support is on another level. They could turn on him VERY quickly if things don't go according to plan.

He scored alot for Dortmund. I was just trying emphasize he hasnt been at his best since he came to England Ange could get alot more out of him.

Results, sadly, havent gone Paddy's way and the French league isnt really visible globally.
