So he rested Che during much of the pre season so that he’ll be fit for the spurs game? Yeah that makes sense.

Ironic that you would describe god as a compliment given the amount of posts you’ve spent decrying religion, don’t you think? Anyway I’m sure you would agree that there’s probably as many people who like tommy sauce as profess to be religious and Ketchup is easier for auto correct so doesn’t really call for it’s use as pathetic. Certainly welcome the name change though! To be really democratic we should put it to a vote so suggestions on here or a separate thread for your new username.

Care to change your username then? I mean, it’s a bit pathetic to use the wrong surname isn’t it?

Out of interest what’s the difference? If he’s saying something negative then it’s being critical and there’s no way you can dress up needs to work harder as a positive. Most other managers would have kept it private anyway. Obviously it’s not the worst dressing down but I still think it was needless. You said yourself you didn’t see enough to form an opinion and that’s entirely down to the lack of opportunities he had in that half. It wasn’t as if he even had many chances to at least hold the ball up and lay it off.

I dunno that it’s fair to be honest. Lad had zero service and we weren’t pressing at all in the first half so running around and being a pest wouldn’t have done much good on his own. Standard stuff from Ralph though and I expect he was always going to say that whatever his performance. He’d be better off addressing the lack of chances we create for strikers before criticising a lad who hasn’t even had a full week of training with us.

Well that's pre-season out the way. Overall I'm pretty disappointed. I don't like the 3 at the back formation because we don't look any more solid and we certainly don't create any more chances. Appreciate it's only pre-season and it'll probably be better once the games are competitive but there's not been many bright spots for me. New signings have generally been OK but as a team we haven't looked that slick and frequently seem to be struggling to get to grips with the formation. I enjoyed the Monaco game but the rest has been poor fare. Hopefully gets better and I've seen enough pre-seasons to know that they're not fantastic indicators of how a season will go but, at the moment, I'm not exactly buzzing for the new season to start.

Do you know what our budget for wages is?

You don't know what our budget is though. Or do you? Apologies if you're ITK on that. I respect your ability to be really knowledgeable on some pretty obscure players but I think the answer may well have been under your nose all this time.

Good stuff, I think you're right. It kinda makes sense and gives us the experience we need up top.

Werner would be an awesome signing. I don't think we'd go as high as the quoted figure but reckon it's certainly within our power to get him. Works well in a 4-2-2-2, knows Ralph and proven scorer under him. Fingers crossed this comes off.

Fair to say that the majority of the country aren't that normal and sensible for electing this shower of shite then? Oh and Lammy wasn't in the shadow cabinet in 2019.

That’s a pony argument. The only people who directly elected either Lammy or Dories were people within their constituencies, are the people in Tottenham not sensible and normal then?

Interesting. We were linked with Issa Kabore a month ago and he looked decent to me. Would have thought that would be a more realistic target if looking at City right backs

Fantasy Football would be ok if you had only one window in January to change the team instead of every week. I can’t be arsed with all the faffing around and get bored too quickly with it all.

I think there’s also a case for including just plain nasty.

Never had you down as such a snowflake.

No way! Really? Thanks for pointing that out MLG, I would have had no idea otherwise. You're a bloody lifesaver.

I see the business model is working well but appreciate that it's frustrating for us fans to lose our best players. It'll be a shame to lose Jan but I don't begrudge him his move and would like to wish him all the best. This has tarnished an otherwise decent window for us. Oh well.

If I recall correctly you were one of the people saying the West wouldn't be able to stop Putin and his war machine, effectively it was pointless trying to intervene in Ukraine. Now that military assistance appears to be working you've changed your tune and Russia apparently isn't all that great. As I understood it the warnings about further Russian expansion were based on the West doing nothing - obviously military and economic actions means that's unlikely now. You don't stop doing something if it's working.

Fuck off

To be fair, they'll have a bigger target to aim at if he signed. That might help them. Agree though, we don't really cross the ball much and certainly not from the 10s.

Can't argue with his scoring record - he's, what, 1 in 3 games at least each season in the Bundesliga for a side that struggles most of the time. Probably the "safest" option we've been linked with.

Mara has at least equivalent if not better stats than Sesko especially considering he played in a better league and his club was pretty poor. TBH all I’ve seen is YouTube videos but Sesko didn’t stand out massively. Could be great of course but not seeing what the attraction is with him particularly.

"Chance for us to grab the one or the other" - what do we reckon he means by that? Broja or Delap? Or just a figure of speech?

He wasn't terrible but people seem to get blindsided by confirmation bias..........
