It seems an easy fix adding a striker but firstly who do you add in January with FFP and secondly would they be able to score in a 18 yard box filled with 9 or 10 players probably not.
I think you will be okay but the problem you have was illuminated last night as soon as you come out and play your left with a few holes in your defence that better teams will pick you off. I haven’t seen your run of fixtures but if you can win against the teams around you then you should be fine.
Thank goodness Spurs won that. I find Frank dislikeable. Making Toney Captain on return from his gambling ban sent entirely the wrong message. Cocky as heck tonight I thought. Ange on the other hand seems a thoroughly nice bloke in the style of Bielsa. Spurs defending though. They have to improve that surely?
We just need to cut out the silly mistakes. And get Son and Sarr back.
That chap from Jamie’s lot, that Werner guy, may not be able to hit a barn door with a banjo, but he clearly can create chances for others. A good addition to the squad.
Work still in progress. But it’s impressive we are now challenging our over-rated neighbours. Simply, Ange is a clever, likeable manager, whilst Lego-boy has no likeable qualities and no ability except to spend boat loads of money on Pep’s duds.
The team at the top of the league has conceded 19 goals while you have conceded an eye watering 33 in comparison. There’s a reason the ‘clean sheets win games’ cliche got traction. For neutrals Spurs are great fun. Keep it up. Who wants trophies anyway
Interesting/worrying piece in Times today. Many clubs are doing ‘buy now, pay later’ deals on transfers. Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs all owe more than £200m each and Man U owes £364m. Overall outstanding transfer debt for EPL is £2 billion
…but is the supposed ~£2bn really ‘owed’ e.g. if they all owe each other for transfers between EPL clubs, then it nets down? Or are we talking about 3rd-party funding EPL TF deals which, one would have thought, FFP rules would capture and somehow limit/cap?
It’s like other areas of life e.g. where there’s a will, there’s a relative. In finance, where there’s a debt, there’s an intermediary willing to discount it (s/t T&Cs)…and the latter is not always beneficial in encouraging behaviours around debt management e.g. it can simply enhance asset prices.
Got a bit wistful at the end watching Lewis Cook and Phillips clearly reliving the best of times at ER. Phillips looking rusty but should be a real asset with game time.
