Chindie Posted October 5, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 5, 2019 There's something rotten behind the scenes. Trippier implied it when he went to Madrid, that he wasn't exactly unhappy to leave, and there's clearly a lot of other players who aren't settled. And Pochettino looks like he's waiting to escape as well, washing his hands of the mess. They flew close to the sun and now it's falling apart. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resale value of some of these (Star) players has gone down 30-50% since the CL final hopefully. Except for manure obviously, they will try a sneaky January bid for Kane and offer something stupidly low like 125 M & 760 K a week + Lingard. They flew close to the sun like almost winning the european cup. I hope it goes well wrong for spurz to be honest. I do however wish their goalie a quick recovery (I watched it and it was not good at all injury wise), it was really nice to see the crowd give him a round of applause as they carried him away, ironically the specific thing he probably won't be able to do for a good 12 months.

Dr_Pangloss Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 That Lloris injury is actually good news for Spurs as he's one of the worst keepers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KHV Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Lack of investment has killed them It needed freshening up, Eriksen should have been sold Winks isn’t good enough for a top 4 team Selling Trippier for a pittance was baffling as Aurier is shocking They needed some central defenders A huge overhaul is needed there as I just think it’s gone stale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 They have been getting away with it for a while (no investment in new players, not offering going rate wages on their best players to re-sign) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've rarely been injured, but finally something I can talk about! I dislocated my elbow in exactly the same way. Fell back and planted backwards so my arm had nowhere to go. Not sure if I got lucky, but even though when I did it, I was screaming the same as Lloris and needed oxygen/morphine, they popped it back in the same day. I was in a sling for 2 weeks and had full mobility within a month. If it's a clean pop out, he'll be back in a month.

useless Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Tottenham have had a few bad results, but they're only three points from top four, so I think celebrating their downfall is a bit premature. Besides even in these so called glory years of theirs they haven't actually achieved much except for qualifying for the champions league, they haven't actually won anything, so even if things do start falling apart for them I'm not sure you can call it a fall from grace as such.

villalad21 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Pochettino hit the peak of Spurs potential after than CL Final. Feels like the Pochettino cycle is pretty much over for them now and they both need to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 Announced as the next season of all or nothing Shame they've gone for an obvious big team with the stadium narrative rather than a more random approach like the nfl Will live or die by its retelling of the stadium issues, I will guess that they will sugar coat it majorly making it pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaJ100 Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 If they fall out of the top 6 and thus Europe consistently will that stadium be a financial noose? They were always a mid table team who managed to find two mega talents in modric and Bale, sell them for enough to construct a competitive squad Lane came good and hired a brilliant manager to keep them there. It's like a series of huge flukes rather than them being a 'massive club'. Only ten years ago we were a fair bit ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ_Villain Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 So... Referee calls for VAR to dispute a goal they score... VAR says no goal... Referee gives them a goal anyway... Not trusting this VAR bollocks... Someone wants certain teams to win and they are trying to engineer it any way they can... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will lose him, Vertonghen and Alderwerald for free in the summer 3 hours ago, Keyblade said: That's the heart of their team. Without those 3 they are nothing. Levy tried to be clever and now it's backfiring spectacularly. They don't even have a single trophy to show for it, despite playing in 3 cup finals under Poch. 3 hours ago, HanoiVillan said: That's certainly true now, but there's no reason to think they can't buy other good players to replace them (except that they probably won't be offering Champions League football next year). 3 hours ago, Keyblade said: It's hard enough to replace 1 of your best players, but it's going to be a tough ask trying to replace 3 of them. Eriksen in particular is going to be really hard to replace without changing their style. They are extremely reliant on his creativity and there aren't too many players in the world as creative as him. After De Bruyne he's probably the best ACM in the world and they're about to let him go for free in the summer while eating a season of halfhearted performances. Sucks to be them right now. Had to bring this discussion over here. With all these players leaving and possibly even Poch, do we think that he has failed by not winning anything. It’s very much like Leeds of the 90s have an exciting attacking team with a mixture of youth graduates and good foreign imports, yet they fail to win at the big stage. I don’t see spurs failing back as far as Leeds but I certainly see them dropping out of the top six in the next 3 years, especially if after Vertongham, Eriksen and Alderweilded leave, Kane decides to follow.
