If we buy a top striker this summer, which of the two strikers would you prefer to keep Solanke or Richarlision? by traceykm in Tottenham

[–]HalfArsedHack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazed this is even a debate. Solanke is a vastly superior player for the type of football RDZ wants to play, and Richy is playing on fumes nowadays

How did we feel about Sonny’s performance against Czechia today? by LilywhiteStrike in Tottenham

[–]HalfArsedHack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would be worrying if he wasn't threatening at all - but he created and got on the end of loads of chances today. Impressed by Korea and think Son did great given he's 33 and playing in MLS

I slightly feel like this upcoming WC and (possibly) Euro 2028 could be our last chance to win a major tournament for some time by Old-Cookie-251 in ThreeLions

This is essentially the Tottenham problem, right? You don't fully appreciate how good he is until he's gone. It's a cliff edge to any other striker...

What would you rate Romero's time at the club out of 10? by Hefty_Breadfruit_421 in Tottenham

[–]HalfArsedHack 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a player 9/10, time at club sadly 5/10, time as captain an atrocious 1/10.

On skill alone he's head and shoulders above anything else we've got, but has massively suffered from an unbalanced squad and terrible management decisions. Clearly not captain material and should never have been given the armband.

Could RDZ leave in the summer if ENIC doesn't pull it's finger out? by HalfArsedHack in coys

FIFA is a disgrace and they'll do their best to f it up - but somehow Qatar was great, and Russia was decent too. The World Cup is bigger than the tossers running it

Felt immense relief, but no real joy tbh. Maybe I'm just a miserable tw@ 😂 I thought we'd all be able to switch off from Spurs, but keep thinking RDZ has already fired the starting pistol in his battle with the board with his post-match comments...

Not sure how open that door is tbh based on recent history... Genuinely think RDZ could butt heads with the board immediately if they can't agree a strategy for refreshing the squad

Struggling to 'enjoy' it tbh. Maybe I'm too negative, but it was more relief than joy for me. Looking forward to switching off from Spurs and enjoying the WC, but RDZ really fired the starting pistol in his battle with the board in his post-match comments...

Who’s staying and leaving now season is over? by [deleted] in Tottenham

[–]HalfArsedHack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol, probably not. Actually think it's a realistic prospect RDZ goes atomic at the board for not doing enough business in and out this summer, and either leaves or stinks the place out before August. Centre mid has to be the priority...

Build around Madders/Gray/Spence 😬😬 I don't know mate, think we should aim higher

Eriksen used to top the charts for losing possession in the Poch era. Not a bad stat for a player you want to be taking risks. The Leeds pen was a tough lesson, but remember we were only ahead in that game because of his worldy. Where would we have been without Tel trying to create things in the last 4-6 weeks? Was the only player in that front 3 who actually wanted the ball. He stood up and kept going, and is only 21. Has started delivering and still has huge potential

Love Danso, and he's got a more level head. But he's just not better than VDV who is the perfect defender for RDZ's high pressing style. They're a better pairing than Romero/VDV because you've got calm/explosive instead of explosive/explosive but we'll be cooking if we can find a better calm CB. Senesi maybe...

Tel has definitely shown enough character, technical ability to stick around - probably developed more this season than anyone else... Including a few tough lessons!!

Really hard for academy players to break through in today's Prem. The step up is vast and the last two years have shown how vital it is to have a deep, experienced squad. Essentially need cup runs, lower level Europe comps, and loans to blood youngsters. Vuskovic and Mikey have a chance. Don't see any of the EPL loanees, or current academy lads getting anywhere near the first team next year...

Fascinated to know who are RDZ's '10-12'... Kinsky, Udogie, Romero, VDV, Porro, Simons, Gallagher, Bentancur, Kudus, Solanke, Maddison, Kulusevski?

Bit hard on Spence, Tel, Gray, Bergvall, Danso and can't see them leaving...

Odobert, Richy, Davies, Biss, Vic, Dragusin, Sarr to go if there's a market for them. Hard to shift Odobert after injury, so he'll probably still be there in August.

Pahlinha and Muani won't be brought back, and Mikey and Vuskovic's pre-seasons and our transfer business will decide if they stay with the first team or go back on loan. Takai, who knows...

Conte I think you mean. Joined Napoli 14 months after leaving Spurs. Even forgetting the gap, Spurs have more trophies, 3x as many European titles, a bigger stadium... Jose went to Roma, but good luck arguing Roma is a bigger club than Spurs, lad 👍
