The defence is dog shit and they need to tinker with the midfield but up top they are sorted. Tarkowski to Spurs seems very logical. 1

filbertway Posted 2 June 2021 Posted 2 June 2021 3 hours ago, Koke said: Liverpool is also very impressive. In fact more impressive than us. £120m net spend in 5 years and they've won the 2 big trophies. You have to respect Klopp for turning decent but not great players like Wijnaldum, Gomez, Firmino etc into champions. Wijnaldum is a superb player! He was unbelievable even at Newcastle. Didnt know much about Gomez but I remember him being highly rated at Charlton was it? Firmino is the player that Rodgers thought he was signing in Perez
Leicesterpool Posted 2 June 2021 Posted 2 June 2021 I think the management merry go round will end up like this Eddie Howe > Crystal Palace Antonio Conte > Tottenham Hotspur Graham Potter > Everton Bruno Lage > Wolves Frank Lampard > Brighton 2

Not to say they are better (a few are IMO) but I don’t want to watch Nunos style of football. It would be like Puel all over again but worse
Md9 Posted 2 June 2021 Posted 2 June 2021 Can’t wait for them to hire conte for Kane to go son will be dog shite when Kane goes bale will be back at Madrid dier will sign a new 6 year contract with Sanchez and winks they will lose in the 5th round of the league cup to Coventry and then the fa cup to arsenal 6-0 conte will be on his bike and big sam will be in with pulis as assistant to try save them from relegation, only to fail 😬 1

Ric Flair Posted 2 June 2021 Posted 2 June 2021 3 hours ago, Foxxed said: The system allows the top six to threaten the existence of the other clubs, however, by threatening to pull the plug on the TV money. I don’t mind successful clubs being successful but English football as a whole, not simply the Premier League, should benefit. Otherwise the top six pull away massively, the Premier League to a lesser extent pulls away, and English football is left to rot. The reason this club is a fairytale is because the system it exists within is rotten. If a regulator can redress the imbalance, so fans and clubs around the country can see an improvement, then great. But I can’t see the gov doing shit for anyone except the billionaires, the globally famous league, its money and its reputation; why would they? But the top 6 pull away because of commercial revenue, not what they earn in the PL? The TV revenue within the PL is arguably the fairest across any of the top leagues and it why the big 6 have been gobbing off about wanting a bigger cut of it Like most powerhouses would get in their leagues and what used to happen. 1

Dan Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 I'll be gutted if Spurs get Conte. He's legitimately top drawer. It's the appointment that everyone thought Mourinho was going to be. Hopefully he sees sense.

It's being reported everywhere that he is advanced talks. If he wasn't interested there wouldn't be any talks. All the top jobs are gone-Barca, Madrid, Munich, City etc Spurs have an amazing stadium and facilities and a decent top 6 squad. With some decent signings especially defensively, they could be a good side. Conte takes big clubs who have underachieved and turns them round. Did it at Juve, Chelsea and Inter. Absolutely amazing appointment for Spurs if they get him, he's the best they could ever hope for. Only thing with him is he doesn't stay anywhere long 2 to 3 years it seems. But still, I'd fancy them to be a proper side and not a banter club while he's in charge.

If they get him then I can see Kane sticking around for another year ......

Still, Man City are going to go big for a striker and it will be him or Haaland I reckon. Going to be a fascinating summer of transfers and manager changes.
Ric Flair Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 Conte is a top drawer manager but all the clubs he's won trophies at are clubs that should win trophies in their respective countries. Spurs are a curious one, there's no guarantee due to the experience and size of Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal and Leicester. This would represent his biggest challenge yet.

It's just been the last 18 months or so where they've been pretty honking and that may have something to do with their long European campaign and then losing a few of their best players to transfers and injury.
StriderHiryu Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 Conte will win Spurs the new European budget cup, that's probably guaranteed. I think he's an excellent manager and managed to get a tune out of Eriksen at Inter Milan, but that Spurs squad as it stands have a lot of weaknesses, making it even more annoying to lose to them on the final day! He's won trophies everywhere he's been, but the Premier League is the most competitive league by miles. Perhaps they can catch us, but I think the squads of the teams that finished above us are way too strong. Man United may well sign Sancho and Varane this summer and so will essentially spend their way out of trouble again, Liverpool surely won't have as many injuries and the Chelsea and Man City squads are stacked before considering any reinforcements they may bring in. As is stands, 5th place again would be a very good finish for us, perhaps this time round focussing on Europa League over FA Cup given that winning it gets you into the Champions League and neither Leicester nor Rodgers has won a European trophy yet. We'll have to see what our squad looks like one the transfer window is closed to make further comment I suppose!

I’m not having that. They’ve been boring to watch all along. The difference was that they were winning so no one talked about it. It’s like big Sam at Sunderland or Moyes at West Ham. If they win people don’t mind a boring style of play.
Sharpe's Fox Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 (edited) Anyone slating another side for being boring is deluded. We've been shocking to watch for the last 5 months of the season, espeically with the back three. Edited 3 June 2021 by Sharpe's Fox
An Sionnach Posted 3 June 2021 Posted 3 June 2021 If Liverpool have VVD, Matip, Sanchez and Henderson fully fit they will be the team to stop next season . However they won't run away with it this time. Man.City will be back with the pack . Chelsea will be tough to beat and Aubamayang will surely have a better season. Man. Utd. will be much the same. So its going to be a challenging season. Bring it on.
