A key player sitting out in such an important game will always be a factor and have a negative impact on the team as a whole though. See Adam Blackmore's comments after the game. Wanyama's actions had a negative impact prior to one of our biggest games in years, and there are people on here who will cheer him
Sure, they don't grow on trees, and maybe Juanmi will develop, but I feel it was our biggest downfall last season and with time to prepare, a decent scouting network and money in the bank, we'd have a good crack at solving it.
I wouldn't say it's been a great transfer window, still a bit of a blind spot on 2nd choice keeper and attacking/creative midfield contribution in my eyes.
It's not 'refreshing' at all. We've had a key players start to the season completely disrupted and have to hope he can somehow integrate back into our squad. Brilliant.
Typical of Spurs fans, they're never happy, always thinking they should be in the mix for the top 4. But in reality, they've had a decent enough summer, I'd say their first 11 has improved.
Interesting looking back at the posts on the first page of this thread!
Has there been an outfield player that's been with the club this long, but has played less?
