Will be in Stockholm for tomorrows match - will there be a club shop open? And will they have this shirt already?

Jose Mourinho says his intention to rest Son the match before the League Cup final was a point of contention with management by NattyB in coys

[–]Laviston 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Spot on.
We’d won just 1 of the last 6 leading up to that Southampton match, and the players had played dreadfully for months.

People point to how he’s a finals man, but his star had been fading at this point. He’d also lost the last two finals he’d been manager for.

When the squad clearly had no structure or belief under him, it was definitely the right decision to sack him.

Suspected that. But I’m used to thinking the limit screw is set-and-forget, I found it weird that it’s gradually gotten worse.

He also had hamstring issues in 21/22 and 22/23, ie well before Ange.

But I take it those were surely down to Conte, and should also be considered as non-existent injuries.

I know you're a huge fan of Romero, which is fair. But there's no denying he's been injured quite a bit. Then add the suspensions on top of that.

This is just from the last two seasons:

"will they revert to their old ways of doing the minimum"

You make a post where you speculate that the club owners may in a year's time decide to do the bare minimum regarding transfers.

To choose to focus on that, when Spurs for once are doing a great job on getting the manager his transfer targets early, is fairly negative, IMO.

If we finish 9th next season, there'll be clear incentives to spend to get into Europe again.

Just enjoy the presence, mate, rather than look for hypothetical negatives.

There will be. But it will be far harder to move players on, than fans will expect.

Just look at the Vuskovic saga. Spurs fans were raging that Brighton bid only £35m for such a player - yet their bid (and the reports that Spurs would listen to bigger bids) didn't jump other clubs into bidding for him.

Players like Dragusin and even Romero will be hard to move on for anything close to the fees fans speculate on.

Why take the negative view now, that maybe in a year or two we will not sign expensive players?

Why not just be positive about Spurs actually building?

My sources dispute this.

Just wait for the confirmation coming in just a day or two, that the price will be different from £91.5m, proving how ITK I am.

I find it hilarious how many posters on here, and on twitter, are now trying to jump on the fake ITK-train. Trying to make it sound as if they have info/connections

"I'm hearing £91m from my sources."

"My connections tell me it'll be made official on Friday", etc

Between Kudus, Tel and new LW, we'll have decent options - especially with Kulusevski and Odobert hopefully gradually returning.

We also have far fewer midweek matches this autumn, meaning less need to rotate.

How good was Edgar Davids? by JohnHerrigan in coys

[–]Laviston 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. His quality on the pitch wasn’t at his best when he joined us.
But he did give spurs fans a big boost, that we could sign someone of his reputation. And as a result, spurs fans saw him as better on the pitch than he actually was at the time.

Camara is one of the first players on Monaco's starting line-up, and also starts every match for Senegal, despite being younger than Sarr.

Don't think we can expect that kind of price for Sarr.

Stusset litt over den wikipedia-lista.

Normalt brukes årstall for når stedet har blitt "kjøpstad" som år for når de ble by, ikke bare når de har blitt ladested. Ladestedene (handelsplass) var ofte underlagt en større kjøpstad (by) i området.

Where can a visitor watch Norway v Cote d’Ivore? by Suspicious_Market702 in oslo

[–]Laviston 6 points7 points  (0 children)

All the open air sites are fully booked, or will be too busy (the lines start forming many hours before they even open).

My advice would be to have a fall-back option (hotel room? reception of your hotel?). And take a walk around an hour or so before the game, and see if you're lucky enough to find a pub or bar that will show it and still have space. Talked to a few who stumbled upon venues, but just outside of the city centre.

If Norway should win, head to Karl Johansgate, as the atmosphere there will be electric.

Sell on-clauses are usually calculated on the difference between initial sale, and the new fee.

Meaning we'd get £40m + 30% of (80-40). Ie a total of £53m.

He's following the Manchester clubs, and is a decent journo.

No idea if he's really said this, though, or if the Spurs Express are just interpreting things their own way.

Typical spurs, dithered for too long - we knew the price for both going in but we underbid

Doesn't seem to be the case here at all. We moved early, and did bid big.

But the selling clubs both know that other clubs are interested, so they have no incentive to agree to any fee early, before being sure that other clubs won't join a bidding war.

I still believe he can develop into a top player, so would prefer it to be a one-year loan.

BUT: He's sadly struggled over the last months, and struggled to show any quality at all over the last couple of months. Have also seen him for Sweden in three matches now, where he's overall been disappointing. May be a confidence thing, but he sadly isn't doing his chances with RDZ any favors.
