    The fans are not in conundrum, having ventured into Spurs social media, they were extremely happy we beat Arsenal and would rather finish 5th then see Arsenal win PL by far, honestly haven't seen one Spurs fan that would rather get CL 

    Crazy. I think it will be interesting to see how that plays out in reality.

    Plus, their fans actively want to lose to Man City.  Hope the title race is still alive by then.

    Was thinking about this on the shitter this morning.
    Let's say it's almost certain that Spurs are going to finish 5th, but *might* be able to catch Villa. 

    I wonder what their fans would want. 

    a) Beat Man City and probably still finish 5th. Arsenal win the title.
    b) Lose to Man City and finish 5th but Arsenal don't win the title.

    Honestly, I think most would go for b.

  3. I think Gallagher might be one of the lower paid players, hence why he’s not happy!

    Would be a good pick up and is such an Emery style player as he seems to be able to cover various positions and is always fit. 

    Makes a lot of sense but price is an issue. Would only be doable if Luiz leaves I imagine. Maybe even Ramsey too.

    I don't really see why it would be an unpopular suggestion. The guy is the single best player in the entire league at turning the ball over in the final third, so if that's a skillset we're looking for (I'm not sure it is) then he would be an excellent signing. He also has a shot on him, and works incredibly hard. 

    I'm not saying we *should* sign him - have no idea really - but if we were to sign him, it wouldn't be crazy, he's a very good player. 

    And he’s bulletproof like Watkins. Very good player.

    Didn’t see the game — was Spurs’ performance at all concerning in terms of them picking up points against City/Chelsea/Liverpool?

    They concede goals. Plenty of goals. They’re a better version of Bielsa’s Leeds. Very suspect from corners, especially their keeper.

    I think they could pick up results against Liverpool and Chelsea, sure. They could also lose 5-2 in both of them.

  6. I want to really like him but I’m at the point now watching games where I just expect him to lose the ball or our attack to break down when it gets to him.

    I’ve been saying this for some time now, but what is he? He’s not a no.10 for me and I don’t think he can play as a striker. That leaves the right wing position which is usually occupied by Bailey or McGinn on the right of midfield. 

    I feel he’ll never be what he could be or what we want him to be, certainly at £45m, until he locks down a position and gets a run of games there. It speaks volumes that a kid from Boro signed for 8m in January has shown more in 7 games than he has all season quite frankly.

    He’s a bit of a problem. I hope he comes back next season raring to go having used his first season to really acclimatise to the league. I think we all like to point to the Bailey example but let’s not forget that, that is an anomaly rather than the norm. 

    Has to do A LOT more. 

  7. Nearly all of the conversation I’ve seen around selling Luiz is related to FFP and him being an asset that is more replaceable given his position and the money we’d get for his sale. I think it’s a universal opinion that he’s a good player that perhaps is out of form or struggles when he doesn’t have a proper DM next to him.

    Nobody is out here saying we should sell him because of his performances this season. He’s been mostly excellent this year.

    Couple of poor games and it's "you know I wouldn't mind if we sold him". Maybe DOL was right about us.

    Bizarre statement. I’ve not seen anyone post saying they wouldn’t mind selling him off the back of a couple of recent performances.

    A drop in form at points of the season happens to most players. It's normal.

    I'm not worried by Doug's form, which will improve, or his ability, which is excellent. I do worry about his mentality though, he seems to get petulant and childlike on the pitch way too quickly

    He is a very good player and I’m sure his form will return. There is a slight worry that he doesn’t seem to play all that well alongside anybody other than Kamara..

    If you’d said we would get 7 points from Bournemouth Arsenal and Chelsea games you’d have taken it … 

    Agreed. It’s just a the manner that gets people. Always tough to take not winning a game when you go 2 up, regardless of how you play.
