Aymeric Laporte | David Raya | Harry Maguire | Tottenham Walks 218 #tottenham #spurs #postecoglou

Connor Coady’s Loan at Everton is over , he was on the MNC the other night saying he’s back at wolves but not clear about his future , he is still a decent CB , reasonably quick, good feet and a leader ✅✅✅ ticks a lot of Ange ball boxes , also is English and home grown . Would strengthen Spurs defence and not cost a lot 🤷🏼‍♂️

I'm not sure that Maguire is fast enough to suit the Big Ange system.

if we get maguire i wont be watching

how are tottenham bigger than villa? villa won more titles and a european cup, spurs are the most delusional fans on earth just bcos they've been relevant for the last 10yrs

Wake up bro…… No place for Harry.. Any smart business man cashes in.. 100 big ones for a guy who has won nothing.. Take that.

Hi again Sean. Another comment I wanted to add that has been touched on is about some of the current squad. Potentially you may have 2 or 3 players that many Spurs fans don't want in the first team, that Ange will get the best out of. Joe Hart for example who wasn't even 3rd choice at Tottenham became the Celtic keeper. When he was contacted about the role apparantly Ange told him he knew what sort of keeper he was. He was interested in what type of person Hart is and heard he was a great leader and an even better human being. This gave Hart the confidence he needed, he just wanted to be pushed but loved. Ange gave him this. I have heard him say a lot at Celtic what an outstanding person a certain player is. Another thing that seems to happen is if a player was deciding between 2 clubs to move to, once they speak to Ange, they'll probably choose him. In saying that, if they aren't committed, no matter who the player, he's not interested. I can't wait to see how he goes. One of the chants they used at Celtic to fit his name into was to the tune of Last Christmas by Wham, you may have to Google it. 2 chants he won't want to hear are, "You don't know what your doing" and "Sacked in the morning". Which AFL team do you follow? Cheers again

Free Bugsy!!

Hi Sean, hhhhmmmph just when I got excited I read this Maguire stuff 🫣

David Raya Yes, Laporte Yes Harry Maguire definitely not.

Dire and Dire on our backline omg kill me know!!

Not maguire,

NO TO mcguire, hes worse than Dier

What would McGuire bring …. Levi should watch the McGuire muck ups on YouTube

A huge no to Harry Maguire from me. Would also be the same for Pickford and Richarlison but it's obviously too late for him. Still think it was a waste of £60m.

I think we have to more realistic about who we can acquire, I probably be building a shortlist of Costa, Raya, Torres, Sangare, Lavia, Ugarte, Madison, Barnes… etc. Laporte is a fantastic player, but I just don't see him coming. If I was in his shoes, I would stay away from Tottenham, and go back and play in Spain or Italy. I looked at Brighton's recruitment model, and they barely spend more than £20M on one player, they are obviously making calculated bets on a group of players, then loaning them out for 2 years as a succession plan to their best players eventually leaving. Tottenham has zero succession planning, Right now, who is replacing Lloris, Kane, Dier, Davies, and all these players we plan to sell. We still struggling to replace Walker, Rose, Vertonghen, Dembele, Dele and Eriksen after all these years.

Hopefully Ange can also evolve and use our player's premier league experience to do that in taking on board Ryan Mason's P/L experience.

In other words when you look at Real Madrid they have great players and play a hybrid style rather than a full on Barcelona style.
I hope that proves to be the case, as the Premier League is totally different to any other league worldwide. Plus a lot of others also play high energy football, so is that really not the only factor to consider and it will bring with it a lot of injuries. Tony, South Australia. COYS.

one should note and take with a pinch of salt, what one saw of ange's "system" at celtic, compared to what he possibly do at spurs. a really astute manager, not just coach, would appreciate what it means to have access to a different calibre of player, and how that shapes their vision of the game, or potentially assists in amplifying a more ultimate level of that vision. at celtic, and at prior clubs, he would've had access to lower mid tier, possibly upper bottom tier level players. rewatching celtic games in recent days, it became apparent that their calibre of player affected the continuity and consistency of qualitative application of his desired tactical and stylistic ideas. he would've had to be extremely rigid in applying a strict adherence to positional principles to ensure the varied lower levels the players had wouldn't be exposed if required to do much more than their ability.

at spurs, if the recruitment culture maintains, at the very least, the level it has over the last 10 years (circa poch stint), then he'll have a decent mid to upper mid tier exposure of player ability, across the board significantly higher than that at celtic. that immediately translates to the possibility of him adapting his tactical and stylistic boundaries to that calibre of player such that it means spurs will operate differently to what we're used to seeing celtic doing under him. the nuances may not be outright apparent, but any manager worth their salt will appreciate what it means to have access to a certain calibre of player, and what that means about how they finesse what they've done prior to such exposure, how they can finally enhance their approach and vision of the game, what doors it opens conceptually.

ange's general principles are the principles the world game has taken on since pep's barca dominated football. juego de posicion/positional play or football/zonal attack. the great majority of professional, qualified coaches, adopt this paradigm of conceptualizing player organization on the pitch. conte was exactly the same, just that his application of the paradigm was at the super restrictive side of the spectrum. ange, at celtic, has also been limited and restrictive, except that he's less so than conte, and allowed more player positional changes as they got closer to the final 3rd, as well as used a lot of 3rd man running along the flank/half spaces channels. if spurs exposes him to upper mid tier, lower high tier, even high tier, talents, whether experienced or hot prospects, the qualities of those players will determine a variation of approach to his tactics, because of those players' qualities with the ball (passing, dribbling, press-resistance, etc), so how spurs will look may still principally retain positional characteristics seen with celtic, but behaviourally altered to the point where it could be a different tactical and stylistic animal altogether.

Hey Sean hopefully postaciula will convince Kane to stay without Kane were down 30 goals a season I think Kane will want to talk with the new manager and will demand a new defence especially after the season just gone were every time Kane scored a goal. For our defenders to give away another silly goal Kane must be so fed up with our defence if we had a good defence last season we would be in the CL place next season and probably would have won a cup but it's the same players keep letting us down is Dier Langley Sanchez and our keeper if we can just sort out our defence we will have a great season we now have a great chance of winning a trophy and reaching CL spot. Now that Newcastle and Brentford villa in Europe we can overtake arsenal and utd aswell we have no European football next season and after next season we can only get better and add another couple of very good players then we can challenge for pl and other cups
