Missing the 10 worst trading days in the S&P 500, outperforms missing the 10 best trading days. jeffhirsch.tumblr.com/post/129239266…

@BenAshe_66 @NathanAClark You could put a lot of that down to who was managing the team. I'd like to see (some) of these players with a proper pre season. Not sure we have a good ball winner. Biss was meant to be that guy. Benty isn't. Sarr is toilet. We have wanted a No.6 for a while.

@RealTokenomist @NathanAClark I mean we have similar enough profiles in terms of ball winning, while we were and still are massively missing quality progressive passers. That's why he was a disaster, he's completely the opposite of what we need in terms of squad building, and he was HORRID at times this szn

Could I have a day. Could I just have one day to be relieved instead of angry at my club being stupid again.

@AlasdairGold What concerns me is there is no clarity on what 'compete' means. No time frame to achieve that, no indication of winning, just nothing. And why is this guy doing the letter and not the CEO.

Five things I took away from Peter Charrington's letter to the Spurs fans after this dreadful season. football.london/tottenham-hots…

@BenAshe_66 @NathanAClark I will take your points on Robbo as someone who seems more knowledgeable but I can't take that Palhinha has been a disaster. Certainly he doesn't suit every game but a proper club needs different profiles for different opposition. Eg Newcastle MF battle Vs Chelsea possession

@RealTokenomist @NathanAClark Will always be greatful for the goals Palhinha has scored. Outside of that, he's been a disaster. Absolutely abysmal performances at times outside these last few games. And yes, Robbo's legs are gone. Absolutely.

@Allthings__THFC Yes we need different profiles. That means keeping the good ones we have and adding to them for the games we have profile gaps for. How do so many of you function without the most basic reasoning abilities. You don't remove him to get another different type of player.

Still don’t think we should bring him back next season, but wow, he’s popped up in some big moments this season. Definitely a successful loan, but as we’ve seen throughout this season, different profiles are needed.

@Hooch20 @Allthings__THFC He's earned the fee already. In the grand scheme of club expenditure. This one is now basically free.

@Allthings__THFC I agree with you. I don’t mind him coming back, but only if it’s a loan move for another year.

@TGC456 @Kish_P14 It's not either or obviously is it. You people live such a binary dystopia in your heads.

@Kish_P14 "Passion" and "leadership" are a poison, they aren't real qualities they are made up by nostalgic pundits, we need players who can pass the ball

Just really don’t understand this We need Vinai and Lange gone like yesterday Otherwise we’ll be back here again next year

@Kish_P14 @100totalwords I'm sure he would have sufficient authority to overrule it when joining - his bargain power would have been huge and I'm confident the board driven by money would have gladly cancelled a deal if it wasn't wanted. I think people put too much weight in social media stories.

@100totalwords But the point is that this deal was done before him anyway

@JustChello @NathanAClark That's valid on the duration. If it was 2 year plus an option then I'd think it wouldn't concern me. How reliable is the source?

@RealTokenomist @NathanAClark Also he may be free but reports are we're paying him £160k pw for 3 years at 32 so he'll end up taking a squad place for 2 seasons longer than we'd realistically need him. Ultimately it's not a signing any of the other top 6 would make and we're already playing catch up

@BenAshe_66 @NathanAClark But if he is happy at that role. Then fairs. I think it's probably a nice use of his pace and strength coming forward. If his legs last too. And it costs us nothing. Saving money for sorting the attack.

@BenAshe_66 @NathanAClark You think he would want to be LB and stay? He does that for Netherlands but it's widely thought it's until Van Dijk retires from international. Are Robbo's legs gone? Just on the disaster prem proven. Palhinha? Kudus was an injury and CG give him an RDZ preseason first.

@Icarustumbling @simonyemane If you run you close down the channels a player can pass to, then they pass where we want them to or force them into a poor touch and the second phase intercepts and turns the ball over. This has been the tactic that has taken the pressure off of defence & meant we survived.

@simonyemane Gallagher has run a lot...but?

Gallagher and Bentancur have both been immense under RDZ. I don’t forget it.

@BenAshe_66 @NathanAClark If you had limited funds and needed to spend it up top, who you signing to add some experience and known quality at LB and would you take someone who can give you a couple of good years for wages only? Especially when they have won the league and major cups.

@RealTokenomist @NathanAClark I mean we've gone after Prem Proven this window and it was a disaster. This whole idea around "Prem Proven" is nonsense. The talent is out there. Go find it.

@BenAshe_66 @NathanAClark His set piece ability is decent too. You need a player like him but he's not an either or. You are right, we do need technical upgrade across the squad. I'm just not sure other than Lewis Hall, there is realistically any better prem proven LB who for the money we could get.

@RealTokenomist @NathanAClark His main strength has never been his technical ability. That's never been his game, he's always been a physical demon but that's obviously waning with his age. He's fine for a season if we raise the technical floor of this team dramatically but if not it's not solving anything.

@JustChello @NathanAClark Yeah Udogie injury issue is a worry. I think both things should be true. We need A but we also need B. If we can get 80-90% of A with no transfer outlay, it makes B more doable.

@RealTokenomist @NathanAClark It's a fair point but the issue is Udogie cannot stay fit so Robertson will play more often than not and we need more technical players across the pitch. I highly doubt we spend the money required on the front 3 anyway.

@world_ora_ @GaryRWard We can't sell davies, bissouma or kolo. We don't own Kolo and the other two have contracts expiring. Your dream list is not remotely fundable with those player exits.

@GaryRWard We need to do this, SELL ❌ Vicario, Udogie, Romero, Dragusin, Davis, Sarr, Bissouma, Bentancur, Richarlison, Solanke, Kolo Muani. ​BUY ✅ Trafford, Dimarco, Senesi, Beraldo, Robertson, Scott, Locatelli, Gibbs-White, Greenwood, Lautaro Martinez, Yildiz, Tzolis.

"Next season we have to build a top, top, top team. We don't have to change too many players in our squad but we have to bring in some first level players." - Roberto De Zerbi #THFC #SPURS #COYS #TOTTENHAM

@thfc_tel @thfc31 Dreamland. Tel is a nice kid but a prime Ginola, Son or Bale he is not. Kid needs to go back to the bench and watch a real star to learn from.

@thfc31 Acting like that team doesn’t get top 5 and a cup

We’re winning the domestic treble mate

@c_sand3rs @NathanAClark Romero, Vic, Dragusin, Richy, Kolo going probably frees up a ton of cash.

@NathanAClark It’s okay if we raise the wage bill astronomically we’ll be better right?

@BenAshe_66 @NathanAClark He is well above average and he will cost 0£ and provide an able backup and mentoring to left backs at the club. He can also take set pieces and as soon as the window closed he scored and assisted in the next game.

@NathanAClark Just one player. One player with at least above average technical ability for a Premier League player. I fucking beg man.

@JustChello @NathanAClark Who you signing for left back to add experience and winning mindset with our budget which will need to be spent on the front 3.

@NathanAClark In what world is Robertson a De Zerbi player ffs. Add to that Palhinha will probably be signed (he came in clutch but we need to be ruthless). Robertson Gallagher Palhinha in the same side for many games next season. Oh boy.

@filmillers @santoscb44 @chris_bill Mate I remember watching the last season at WHL from the North stand with my season ticket there. Winning every game and then the fans storming the pitch. I've watched live Defoe, Sir Les, Berbatov, Ginola, Bale, VdV, Keane, Teddy Trust me, I categorically hated this season.

@RealTokenomist @santoscb44 @chris_bill 😂😂😂Youve fucking loved this season, haven’t you?

Do we keep Palhinha ?? His goals have kept us up and he’s a good player .. ??
