5th place is whereabouts we should be. Based on expenditure on wages and transfers. Arguably overachieving slightly, especially when you factor in losing Kane.

I am happy with this seasons outcome. Start of the season I said I don’t care too much about league position. I just wanted to enjoy watching Tottenham play again. Well there has been up and downs. But all in all I happy most of the team now don’t treat the football like a grenade that has had the pin pulled.

I am hopeful we identify the areas still needing to be improved on. In the main the transfers have worked. So no reason to think we won’t kick on further and shift the ones not pulling in the right direction.


----------------------------------------------------------------------

Exactly.

We have progressed in many areas. The end to the season has taken the shine off it but at least it lays bares that a lot of work needs to be done on the training pitch, with the players mentality and in the transfer window. We are under no illusions that all is not rosy in garden, everyone at the club needs to find the next level. COYS!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Minimum 3 decent signings in the transfer window, and we go again!
----------------------------------------------------------------------

FWD, LW, CM/DM.

I would also like to see a better LB understudy to Udogie and a pacey backup to VDV
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Can see Lloyd Kelly being signed as back up to the LCB LB positions. Which is be happy with.

It’s the striker and CM we massively need improvement on. I rate Bentancur. But I don’t feel Ange does. Him and Hjojberg could be shifted on. Lo Celso probably off also. So if they all leave. 2 CMs will be needed imo.

Ange will see Solomon as Sons understudy at LW next season.

The funny thing for me is that Spurs fans are saying we’ve had a good season and mocking Poch and Chelsea for having a bad season - could end up on same points ffs
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Well we started well and finished poorly, and they’ve done the opposite.

Closed a 17 point gap.

If we can't finish out with the Europa, or in 5th, then Ange needs to pack his bags, let's be honest. It would be a disgraceful end to the season.

It really would be.

Just catching up. Why have so many of our fans misinterpreted what Ange said? He's been employed to win games and finish as high as possible in all competitions. He was quite rightly confused that so many people inside and outside of the club wanted us to lose on Tuesday because of pure tribalism. Yes, I know rivalry is important but I see his point and he was absolutely right to call it out.

It was not an excuse for his own short comings nor was it a dig a Levy who clearly wanted us to win to get the much hallowed Champs League spot.

It's been an embarrassing week to be a Spurs fan. Hopefully we go out on a high on Sunday.

Absolutely.

You think the fragile foundation would have allowed Poch to continue after the start they had?

No chance. The whole club would have been toxic by December and Levy would have sacked after all the boos. Imagine the likes of Fridge, Mack and Strike calling for his head lol. Even you!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
You’d be able to see progress though wouldn’t you?
You’d see a bit of a plan:
Similar to what we saw at the start of the season. I loved the press from the front and drawing the oppositions out by playing out from the back. Where’s it all gone?

And to your other point, how many people are calling for his head? And let’s be honest, our results would see us 16th since January or 11th if we don’t count the ten game blip. Most people agree he should have a good summer and Jan transfer window and judge him at the end of next season. If we get Champions League, you can celebrate that if it’s your thing but remember that Ange told you were challenging for the league next season.

They guy has said he won’t accept any player he doesn’t want. So he’s got no wriggle room now. All the signing since he joined are his and will be his so he will have to own it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Let's be honest, Cole Palmer has saved him.

Doesn’t matter.

True but there was a time when Chelsea fans wanted him out and the rumour was they couldn't afford to sack him because of PSR.

Fairplay to him, he has turned them around. But that's only because us and Newcastle have dropped off. They are on their their best run of the season after getting smashed 5 nil by Woolwich. That would have been a tipping point for our lot. Palmer didn't play that game either.

Not sure if he or any other player was his choice. Toddy boy has a big say in transfers over there.

If Poch doesn't have a say in the players then we have to say he's doing an even better job then.

Since Enzo has been out injured they have been unbeaten lol. Don't think he is the answer at all.

£100m for him and £115m for Caicedo. No thank you.

And you're bringing Brennan Johnson into the debate who is less than half the price.

They spent £435m in the summer and brought better talented players on paper than we have. For a hell of alot more money. Think any manager at Chelsea stands a good chance of doing well. On paper anyway.
