You can't rely on all your players to stay fit especially with CL football as well, why aren't they buying

foxfanazer Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Just now, Tuna said: Lemina to Southampton apparently. Quality signing if true

You can't rely on all your players to stay fit especially with CL football as well, why aren't they buying Having to fund their new 61,000 seater £800m stadium, so they've moved to Wembley for a season - a 90,000 seater; which means if they fill it regularly this season, they'll be unable to fulfil the demand for tickets in the new stadium by 30,000. Genius. Thats before you even mention the fact that they've lost 70% of their games there in the last 10 years. For this reason I hope Spurs go down. I mean, according to the odds they're 5 times more likely to be relegated than we were to win the Premier League. I BELIEVE.
jammie82uk Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Is there trouble in paradise? Levy said: "Our position on transfers is that we have a coach who very much believes in the academy," "The academy is important because if we produce our own players we don't have to spend £20m or £30m on a player." "An academy player has that affinity with the club and that's what the fans want to see." Pochettino said: “We are working, trying to add some players to the squad." “Our idea was, the same as before, to try to provide the team with more strength and try to sign a few players before the end of the transfer window.”
AjcW Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Chelsea are looking rather flat! Arsenal looking sharp strange with Chelsea, they won the league with Alonso and Moses but surely two wing backs should have been transfer priority this season! Alonso is having a shocker today.

They beat a full strength Juve 2-0 in that friendly, they’ve kept the majority of their players together and their academy is strong.... trippier is bad news yes but from what I’ve seen of them In pre season they look as strong as ever!

yorkie1999 Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 (edited) This new diving rule has got no chance of working if they can't spot Willians trailing leg catching the arsenal players thigh thus causing him to trip himself up. No foul and no dive, yet Willian would have thought he was tripped. Edited 6 August 2017 by yorkie1999 1

Dunno, I thought I saw slight contact (not enough to send Willian over on its own) causing Willain to clip his own heels and then go down. I think the fact he appealed for a pen made the ref think it was a dive, but I don't think it was. Player stupidity probably earnt him the card there.

As far as William is concerned he thinks he's tripped. He's got every right to appeal. 1
KingsX Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Harsh red. Does Pedro now miss three (including Spurs and Everton)? This match must be a manager's nightmare. Much more fiercely contested than other sides' "last friendly" with real chance of suspensions as well as injuries.

Finnegan Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Think the ref gets the red spot on as well tbh. It's a slide tackle from behind studs up in to his achilles nowhere near the ball.

ZeGuy Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 (edited) Bwahahaha Courtois just skyrocketed it. I hate the ABBA system. So there won't be any extra time from now on in all competitions? Direct penalty shoot-out? Edited 6 August 2017 by ZeGuy
Mike the Metal Ed Posted 6 August 2017 Posted 6 August 2017 Really wish this still went to extra time... Still a bit disappointed we didn't win this last season and keep our 100% record intact.
