Matchday discussion

If you think as a lot of people do that Johnson and Dragusin are not up to it what does it say about Ange who supposedly wanted these two.Do you trust him with more purchases based on that.If they were not his choices then who chose them because if not him then what is he doing at the club

 

Agreed … and the statistics support what your eyes see

Over the last 12 months …
across the top 5 leagues in Europe … among wingers and attacking midfielders … BJ is in the bottom 4% (bottom 4%!) when it comes to creating shots

As a reference … Son is at 69% … and Werner 47%

BJ was a bad buy at 50 mill … I remember it came late in the window … we were low on numbers and needed to sign someone to play wing … smacked of desperation

Will be Ange’s downfall

 

Wasn’t this already addressed in a reply on 23rd December to a comment you made (see below). When Ange is discussing signings, it’s always ‘we’ yet he seems to explain how he is given players:

I’m not so sure based on the use of the word ‘we’ when discussing his signing, especially when Ange specifically calls out Lange and Mackenzie and “when we got down to the real detail he was the best option for us”. Sounds like he was given very few options to me:

"We’ve been working on the centre-back position pretty much since the summer window closed and there's been a whole list of players we worked through methodically," Postecoglou said.

"A lot of that work has been done by the scouting department and Johan [Lange, technical director] came in and [chief scout] Rob Mackenzie and the team started working into further detail.

"They presented it to me probably six weeks ago. From that onwards, Radu was always on the radar as one of the players we thought would be a good option for us. Then it was about getting as much information on him as a player and a person.

We spoke to as many people about him as possible and had him scouted again and I’ve been following him since we highlighted him. In my mind once we got down to the real detail, I thought he was the best option for us.

"Before the window opened we made the decision that Radu would be our number one priority. I like his defensive attributes, his physical attributes, I there's still a lot of growth in him. "A lot of improvement in him. He's only 21, only had one year in Serie A, not even a full year and he fits the profile of the kind of players we want here."

 

It is better to fail aiming high than to succeed aiming low.

And we of Spurs have set our sights very high, so high in fact that even failure will have in it an echo of glory.

 

Where did that nonsense come from.Give me a trophy

Ouch!

 

This man had the Man City team of the sixties with stars all over the pitch.Dont remember Bill saying that

 

Lol

 

The great fallacy is that the game is first and last about winning. It’s nothing of the kind. The game is about glory. It is about doing things in style, with a flourish, about going out and beating the other lot, not waiting for them to die of boredom.
