I don't rate Ismael particularly but do we think it's round about now he's starting to realise he's been sold a pup? Probably needs the work in the meantime though until he can find something else.

I’ve had time to take stock….. We beat a Ski Resort 1-0…… This has to be one of the worst England results since conceding to San Marino in 1993? Worrying.

firstly, I ain't be defensive one bit but trying to explained when transfer happened last summer and not a lot of signings are made in May/first week of June. So you don't know anything about this player then. We were slow last season cos you have complete overhaul of the recruitment and scouting team. Park, Gestede and Owen came in and we still signed some quality players.

On pace rating that is a par with Wirtz and Nkuku

The UEFA cup was often considered to be the toughest to win due to the fact it had more than one team from the stronger leagues and some of those teams were on the rise at the time. Of course those teams are now in the Champions League instead!

My lad says his pace is 81 on Fifa if that means anything. If he joins hopefully it's as an attacking player rather than another left back. Who knows with this circus though.

There is no need to be so defensive. I have never heard of him no, I am just saying that IF he signs, that it would be the second time that Gestede has signed someone that has been relegated from the Belgian league. I didnt pass comment on my opinion of that. Our club is run terribly and more often than not, we are slow, there are often delays getting budgets agreed etc, beyond the usual fact that a big chunk of transfers are done beyond the start of pre season. We were particularly slow last season too. Broughton seemed to be more proactive both in terms of transfers and contract extensions but has now gone. My comments on us being slow was more of a general comment under this terrible ownership and board. You dont have to constantly plead for patience and defend the club constantly, often missing the point, so repeatedly.

Didn't answer one single question, what a surprise. I would have stick by Ange and back him. Haven't I been more than crystal clear about them. Ange promised he delivered a trophy and he did. A day Spurs fans will never forget and Ange will go down as a hero in Spurs history more than Pochettino or Mourinho will

So you know this player then? Does he have pace? We signed Brittain and Szmodics from relegation Championship teams and both been excellent signings

Do you actually read the article I post that 50% of transfers are done in August? We have been slow last year but the year before we made 3 signings very quickly in Ennis, Tronstad and Sigurdsson. The year before we were slow due to GB and JDT being appointed late Well let's well and see before passing such a judgement perhaps?. What a reasonable chuck? 2? 3? 4? 5? I would always want a couple of signings in early but that's ain't always possible for a range of reasons. From the free agent market but the foreign market. Before we comment on our slowness in the window why don't you judge after pre season starts not now. You going to look rather silly now if we make a couple of signings before pre season. You are far too quick to judge

Looks like a player who has played some games at left back and has barely ever scored. Rudy doesnt half love a player from a relegated Belgian side if its true.

Oh dear Chaddy, got it all wrong again by backing Ange Becoming a bit of a habit don't you think? The mystery is why you're bothered about a very unlikeable North London club

We'll Neve sign him

Read my first paragraph again in the post you quoted to see my answer. Im pretty sure that you are the one in the past who has endorsed teams resting players in cup competitions. But that doesnt mean that Ange has proven that he is the best man to take them forward. Im guessing that you will be hoping for Spurs to get relegated.

It's all depends who adapt the conditions in USA, Canada and Mexico. Wide open at this stage for me. Ancelotti in charge of Brazil will be contender, Argentina, Spain, France, Germany and us. Italy have just sack their manager

I think they’ve got better players than anyone else, Spain probably just edge it, though.

Can't blame anyone who did. It's was truly pathetic performance

I don’t think it’s as clear cut as the funds sent post court hearings being proven to be legitimate, meaning a return of funds. As mentioned by a recent post ED do not want them to be allowed to send money full stop. By that hopefully they are not happy with funds being used and effectively flushed down the toilet, as it is mentioned that Rovers are loss making. Using the club as a way of reducing liabilities in their own country, may well not be allowable, who knows, or even the source of the funds could be under investigation.

Will Spain or France be the team to beat at the world cup? Tuchel has a big job ahead

Is it about winning trophies or finish second? Would Ange had kept his job if he had finish 8th in the league but no trophy? Or did Ange focus on winning a trophy something over league position after being knocked out of league cup and FA cup? Wonder if Wigan fans would give up their FA Cup win to stay up in the PL?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry at his bit :- engaged in recreation activity in the form of running a football club named Blackburn rovers. Most people take up walking, swimming, golf ect, not turning a professionally run football club into a laughing stock basket case. Get out of OUR Club!!!!!!!

Interesting stuff thanks for researching and sharing and for the blinkered deniers still evident in the fanbase it can all be fact checked. The DE have the Vs by the balls on this make no mistake and it's odd they are so pissed off at seemingly a couple of mistakes over a decade ago which imo just goes to show they suspect other things have gone on but can't prove it. One thing though puzzles me though, surely once they sent previous money and satisfied the conditions of proving what it's for and where its gone they'd then get that particular amounts bond money back/guarantees lifted ? So they won't actually be so much out of pocket and free to satisfy the next allotted amounts ?

I’m just being wistful about when football used to be about winning things. Obviously now it isn’t, in reality if Levy thought he’d have them away from the European spots again he had to go. But for Tottenham fans they’ll remember Bilbao and Ange far more fondly than another season that merged into the next ‘who remembers 2022 when we finished 4th?’.
