Not the premier league, but there is no other team that would have a player sent off by var like dominic Calvert lewin was last night

VAR is a joke

Would a Jersey change not of been handier in this Newcastle Sunderland game.

Probably time to splash out on the colour telly.

Spurs have picked up Timo Werner on loan from rb Leipzig. Good news for their opponents imho.

imtommygunn · January 06, 2024, 08:57:07 PM

He was awful at Chelsea. Couldn't hit a barn door.

Both United and Spurs were after him. He was good last year, but has not played well this season. Odds are he won't go well for Spurs, but worth the gamble. For every Vieria, Salah, de Bruyne who failed at a big club and went on to be truly world class there are scores who failed and failed again and again, but at a reasonably cheap short term price, you can't blame Spurs for having a go (I think he would have suited Utd more than Spurs, but we'll see)

I think he'll enjoy things at Spurs more. When at Leipzig he had the freedom of the park. When at Chelsea he was stuck on the wing, and he was one of 5-6 wingers who all faltered under through a combination of pressure, squad rotation and tactics. Postecoglu might just give him his freedom back.

Spurs have quite a few attacking options already, so that's a bit of a surprise. Who loses out to him, or is he there to strengthen the bench?

Edit: Didn't realize Son was off to the Asian Cup for a month. Makes more sense to me now.

Arteta's side now have just one win in seven matches across all competitions and the boss agreed his side risk falling into a mental slump after failing to find the finishing touch.

He said: "Probably it has [become a psychological issue]. Especially after today, more than it was against Fulham or West Ham before that. That's why I think we need to reset. This break is good. It comes in a good time.

Direct replacement for Son, it is a gamble but don't think it is a massive one. He performs well in quick attacking teams which Spurs definitely are now.

Be interesting to see how he goes to be fair.

J70 · January 08, 2024, 04:02:35 PM

I think he's a good player. Great on the break, full of running, just not a finisher. A bit like Nunez, albeit not as explosive or physical.

Chelsea beaten and didn't score against injury hit 12th place championship team tonight.

More moves for Spurs with Dragusin coming in. No that I know much about the lad, but people seem to be getting excited.
