I reckon if he goes back Kane stays as well. Bit of a rebuild on his hands though, but nothing too massive if Kane does decide to stay, needs a CB, another striker (Ings maybe?) and a RB. Bit of a rebuild? A full rebuild needed from back to front. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've got a pretty strong 11, it's just their CBs and Aurier that usually let them down. Son, Kane, Dele (on his day), Lloris, Ndombele and Holjberg are all excellent players. If they can get Bale back on loan as well, he did pretty well towards the end of the season. Lloris New RB - New CB - Dier - Regulion Ndombele - Holjberg Moura - Dele - Son Kane That's a team that could quite easily finish in the top 6 under the right manager, especially as they could probably play the reserves and the kids in that Europa Conference league. Their biggest weakness for the past 18 months has been their managers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their biggest weakness for the past 18 months has been their managers. Lloris isn't an elite keeper, has too many mistakes in him. Dier? You're keeping Dier in their 11? The same Dier that Southgate managed to drop? Bloody hell. They need A new RB and 2 x new CBs, minimum. LB in Reguilon is solid for sure. Hoijberg is solid, Ndombele continues to be average at best. Would consider replacing or bringing in a rotation. Moura hasn't done much, Lamela is crap and Lo celso is iffy. Can't rely on Bale to save them continually at his fitness, so a new RW is needed. Son is quality, when in tandem with Kane. Kane himself wants out and gets at least a 2-3month injury per season and they have no one to rotate with him. It's a bloody huge job. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester_Loyal Posted 27 May 2021 Share Posted 27 May 2021 (edited) I think any player can look good in the right system under the right manager, we won the league with Danny Simpson and Huth in the defence, it's all about playing to the teams strengths and finding what works. Obviously no-one will walk into the job and get them fighting for the title, but they only finished 4 points off 4th, it's not like they finished 15 points behind. Keeping Kane is key though! I guess we'll see how it pans out!

Doherty looked good at Wolves at wing back. Same as Sheffield United under Wilder, players not really great, but the system worked. Maybe this is Levy's last attempt at keeping Kane.

Spurs can't afford to have a transfer budget which is why I can imagine Levy wants Pochettino so he can abuse him with the same threadbare shite squad he always had. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost no chance Conte goes to Tottenham. He's leaving Inter because they're skint and have made it clear they need to asset strip short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, I can’t imagine any prominent manager would want the Spurs job given the current financial situation. They superb facilities and stadium, there’s no denying that, but equally the great managers all want some financial wriggle room to put their own mark down.

Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 27 May 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted 27 May 2021 Levy spent £12.5m sacking Pochettino to bring in Mourinho at £15m a year to win trophies. Levy then sacked Mourinho 6 days before a cup final because he thought he'd be able to afford it with the Super League money. But the Super League collapsed and he owes Jose £15m+ as severance not to mention his staff. You're looking at £60m spent just on hiring and firing managers. 4 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that Jose getting a new job basically means he is forfeiting money owed by Levy. Hence why Levy now seems to have a bucket of cash to spend on a new gaffer.

Pochettino always struck me as a reasonably thoughtful bloke, no way is he returning to Spurs. London club though, media on their side (mostly). They'll get someone decent but it's quite a rebuild they need, even if they keep Kane. Their defence is abysmal, and their midfield isn't a lot to shout about either. No consistency at all, that's Spurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
