Spurs 21/22: Conte? Conte!!
- Thread starter DJnVa
- Start date
Yeah, they do. Alli is the captain today.
Son pots one, but he was offside. And Reguilon had a point blank shot that he fired right at keeper. Whiteman has saved a PK as well.
Thought Lucas and son looked great. Skipp is going to be a real first team player this year.
CCV impressive at the back as well, in what I think was a shop window performance.

Parrott to MK Dons on season-long loan.

Romero seems mostly done? $45-50M? Lotta money, but that's a big play for fairly well-established high quality CB. Doesn't bode well for Kane's chances of staying...
I think Romero was getting done either way (between Foyth/Sanchez/Toby/Sissoko all probably leaving there was enough). That said, if it looks like Spurs are serious about Vlahovic.... Then Kane is definitely gone.
He's probably gone anyway, but I don't think the Romero deal is what tells us that.
Kane's Rebellion
This, however, says Kane is planning to return to training. Either someone is wrong, or Kane buckled.

Whoever wrote that headline whiffed on a tepid fastball down the middle. The Kane Mutiny >>> The Kane Rebellion.
He is screwing up his entire legacy at this point. There's ways to get the move you want without pissing off basically every fanbase.
Even his friends in the media are saying this is a poor move. Man did he need better reps (See: Jack Grealish).
Interesting. Probably the best for his development, although I wonder if he just doesn't fit into Nuno's tactical plans.
Who are the starting CBs against City? If no Romero, Dav and...Dier (GULP!)? Dav and Rodon? Romero is right footed, so whoever plays LCB in a back 4 will be playing inverted--not a big deal IMO, but still relevant and potentially leading to a clunky start.
I don't think they risk a Sanchez injury, when it looks like there's interest from multiple spanish teams.
I think Romero will actually get in for the game, with.... ugh... Dier.
When Berbatov is dunking on you for being unprofessional.... you're definitely losing the messaging war.

Harry played this so poorly.

Harry played this so poorly.
To me that statement reads "I completely misread this situation."
He was expected back on Monday and he didn't come. That's very specifically refusing to train. If there's a valid excuse, we would have heard it Monday.
His reps and advise couldn't have been worse on this.
Every one of the team's mouthpiece's (such as Ali Gold) did. And Nuno had to hold a press conference talking about how they had to handle it internally.
It's been a week. If he wasn't expected back, that would have 100 percent come out either officially or not. The team expected him back for a covid test Monday, training Tuesday (Same with Lo Celso, PEH and others that were at euros or Copa).
He never refused to train, he just chose to do his training in Florida this week.
Another lie. In Florida it's practice.
I can only assume that Messi is holding the camera....

EDIT: Atalanta is claiming this is a loan with option to buy. There's some confusion on twitter about it. Doesn't seem like it will be an issue either way.

It makes sense Inter is reluctant now since they brought in €175m for Hakimi and Lukaku plus moves out Lukaku’s team high wages.
It also makes sense to try to turn Latauro’s head and get him agitating for a move if you need to replace ‘arry real quick. Martinez could easily double his wages and pocket several fees while staying within Spurs’ wage structure.

Lautaro was negotiating with Barca last year I see little reason for him to agree to go to Spurs. Maybe he can make more money but the downside of going to a team line Spurs would be exactly Kane’s situation. If Barca got their house in order in 2 years and came back in for Lautaro would they be willing to sell?
It seems like Inter ownership is in a bad situation but holding Lautaro until at least Jan and seeing where you are and what you can get from a desperate club might be smart

I think if Kane wanted to go to Barca (and they had their finances fixed), Levy would have already sold him for probably 110 or so. Selling within the PL comes with a much higher price.
If Levy can make a profit off Lautaro, he'll sell to Spain.
Well, as long as Lautaro doesn't hire Harry's brother to negotiate the deal I'm sure there would be an actual out clause in it.
Thought Lo Celso looked really good when he came on (and had the incisive pass to setup Japhet).
Looks like they'll start with a Stevie B, Son, Lucas front 3 against city.
This was pretty cool, and certainly something I was happy to see:

Taganga played like a desperate man fighting for a spot on the squad, which he is.
Dele with some bad luck on the 2 posts. He's finally putting himself in a position to get those opportunities deep inside the box, however. He and Son still have good chemistry together. It'd be a huge boost to have him be a regular part of the lineup.
BTW, what do we think of Moura playing lights out in the pre-season? Could we expect more consistency out of him this year?
I hope so. But I always think that Lamela used to play awesome in the preseason and then....

More on Bryan Gil (pronounced Hill) the player coming in the swap deal for Lamela:

Not sure if Son would be replaced in the last 15-20 minutes of any match but perhaps Gil can spell #7 from time to time as a starter, especially in non-Premiere League competitions.

I also think Son is going to be playing more centrally, at least for a while. Even is someone like Vlahovic comes in, Son probably still plays with him up top sometimes, leaving plenty of time for Gil.
I watched some of the Spain/Brazil game and he looked good.
