@@AlasdairGoldjournalistdo we measure a player by goal involvements only. I’m not saying he’s been terrible but this is his level.

He can’t beat a player consistently. You don’t just learn that at this age. His not a quality finisher or passer. He just has pace. Why are you settling for average please answer honestly.

While it's completely unacceptable for players to get involved with the crowd, the organisers must take a lot of the blame for allowing the players' families to be placed in such an area without adequate security. If you get the security right, then you don't put the players in a position where, very stupidly, they think they need to act.

I agree with Gray. He is young but has a year under his belt in the championship competing for promotion. He's bossed the Chelsea midfield, so I expect he is ready from day 1. Bergvall will take more time. Mikey Moore is a project player. Is he a Yamal or does he need time? I always think of Wenger who has said that blooding youg players too early can lead to injury risks eg Sess. However, thankfully the days of the destroyers is largely over but would not play Moore against a Matty Cash team for a few years.

Good news for Troy Parrot and Dele Alli as for Gray playing RB I was kind of hoping he'd be replacing Bissouma not back up for Porro. As for our U-21's and who is going out on loan I'd like to think at least one of them would end up at Birmingham City, wherever they go however I hope they get guaranteed minutes, I do hope they'll keep Dane Scarlett around. As for Bentancur you got to think he turns his brain off when he get's back to Uruguay, first the comments about Sonny and now this I'm curious to know if the Uruguay FA are going to turn around and sue the stadium for not providing adequate security. Thanks for the update, glad you're back to enjoying life again reporting on real football games, take care of yourself and enjoy.

Both my boys went to several, met Loads of players and got loads of autographs and many happy and found memories.

Thanks for the latest video Alasdair. Watching a football match whatever next😁! And writing about two matches at once - no trouble for a man of your talents and fully deserving of 60K subscribers. Good luck to Troy Parrott at AZ. It is a real shame he never got much of a chance at Spurs especially as there have been a long succession of expensive flops who were brought into the team from abroad and did almost nothing. At least Spurs brought in a new offensive player before he left - oh wait, perhaps I have got that wrong😉! As you did not mention anything, I assume the rumours on some other sites of Mikey Moore being pursued by big European clubs are just false news?
@neil364Ай бұрын
I did mean to say. The Archie Gray right back scenario. Isn't that the most sensible thing they could possibly do? Getting him used to playing the right back role in our system means he saves Pedro's legs by playing his part in certain cup games and substitution minutes. Then let him play certain times in midfield, as a sub, etc, when Pedro is playing as the natural back. I will be slightly gobsmacked if we don't see Bergvalls minutes on the pitch, both wide and centrall, and the same goes for Archie Gray and even Mikey Moore. In terms of flexibility, it's Ange's preferred modus operandi it would seem to achieve this.
@AlasdairGoldjournalistАй бұрын
Makes sense to me get him used to both roles. He'll be in midfield a lot as an inverted right-back anyway. Then he can develop wherever is best, which seems likely to be midfield.

Hi Ali. Guess we will have an update soon following the Hearts friendly. Otherwise it is very quiet. We keep hearing of commercial deal after commercial deal. The hotel, cinema, houses. Ticket costs going up, concessions being reduced. Is there any reason Spurs need to be careful with their spending? You hear us linked with Jonathan David at £25m. We sold Kane for £86m. Is there any reason we can’t buy Lois Openda for £70m from Leipzig or Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon for £50m say? Archie Gray wasn’t a bad start but we need cover at full back, a CB, not happy with Bissouma (shadow of his Brighton form) and a winger/striker is essential. Still plenty of time but just have to ask are Spurs short of money or do they want a cheap summer with plans to sell the club in a mega deal? Fans will be in uproar if money is not spent for sure. Thanks.

He went from u16's NT straight to u23's as well and you couldn't see it. He's just that adaptabe. He's going to do just fine even if thrown into the deep end. He'll just start swimming straight away.

Also, I wanted to mention that I live in Yokohama Japan. Hoping to spot you at the game next Saturday! While you're here you should pay a visit to Marinos' stadium - The Nissan.
