With Tottenham Hotspur securing seventh place in the Premier League table for 2020/21 with our final day victory over Leicester City, we of course pipped rivals Arsenal by a point which was a good reason to smile.
There’s no denying though that this is now a huge summer for the club, we have the ongoing managerial search, there will be the distraction of the European Championships and then, not only will fans be focusing heavily on how we choose to strengthen the group, a big topic of talk this summer will be whether or not Harry Kane finally moves on.
If Kane does leave, he surely goes with the best wishes of most, but a move abroad would be more palatable for fans who wouldn’t want to see him lining up against us. A departure would significantly boost our transfer kitty, but it would also be another major headache to solve – not just in terms of finding a quality replacement, but it might see others address their own futures, so the calibre of our incomings would also need to send a message that minus Kane, we are still looking to break that ceiling.
Let silly season begin…
More reefer. That’s the ticket.
Sterling and marhez wouldn’t be a bad shout, guaranteed to get more game time.
I would take Mahrez to play on the right but Sterling to replace Sonny on the left? No thanks.
Good point but sunny would replace kane 😂. We also need good competition for places.
Still wouldnt take him, I have no love for players like Sterling and Zaha who constantly go down looking for free kicks and penalties.
I don’t understand how we’ve managed to lose a 29 year old pretty decent goalie without getting anything for him, not very good business when we need every penny we can get for a rebuild.
THFC news today is about money, not football. Restructuring of debts and 250 million in new American investments (U.S. “private placements to American investors.” Todd Kline to negotiate stadium naming rights, given his experience doing this for professional American football team Miami Dolphins. Money we get news. new manager etc., it just lags along. It seems part of the American investments were stimulated by the retractable field and the only permanent NFL field outside the U.S.A. U.S.A. U.S.A. you know, the “special relationship the British politicians always go on about. (The American politicians don’t give a flying fart about Britain, but get a good chuckle about British politicians go on about the”special relationship. Idiots.)
Anyway, a bit of new cash to pay off old debits run up by DL to build his Ozymandias statute with the retractable pitch and breweries.
Miami get 10 million per year in dollars for the naming rights to the stadium. What does that pay in terms of player salaries. A few months of Gareth Bale?
Re Marhez, I always thought he had the look of a Spurs player about him, I thought we may have gotten him and Drinkwater after Leicester won the league, had we done that I think we might have taken the League rather than Chelsea. 🙁
Good question, TQ2. Not a pence for Gazzaniga. Comes from Poch’s home town, too. Strange doings to let him go like this.
Russian-gangster oligarch team vs. United Emirates quasi-slave-labor owners in a match about to begin. I cannot find anything in either English team (?) worth caring about. I guess I dislike Chelskum the more of the two. At least there’s something to like in the basic style of play of Citeh. I’m really tempted to watch.
Oh God. Two football teams in blue kits. It’s too much to take.
Porto’s a decent enough place, though, or at least it used to be.
Why is it when people disagree with me on here, it’s not that they just disagree, it’s that either I don’t know what I’m talking about or I am stoned or drunk or a fantasist!
Wait and see!
By the way Doncaster, I was stone cold sober and I still am…….
Hope our owners see tonight’s result. What is the point in having billions in you account. Make THFC champions of Europe.
123….who do think has billions in their account?
Joe lewis
123….that’s the answer I expected from someone who doesn’t understand business and finance.
Now can our squad improve. THFC players to much in a comfort zone, the best of everything. As I said time for a change . With all of our talent we are a soft touch when it comes to the crunch. Are we gonna step aside or step up. Time to win trophies instead of top4 or fight for both.
Both Gazzaniga and Rose were out of contract. That is why they left for nothing. They are free agents.
HT….that was clear, I think we can all understand why Rose was allowed to run his contract down but why Gazzaniga? He is a pretty decent goalie in my estimation and still only 29 years old. I’m guessing he wouldn’t extend his contract because he was given so little opportunity at Spurs (probably partly due to our mix of homegrown) in which case surely it would have been better to sell him and get something back rather than send him out on loan to run down his contract?
Niall D – Obviously you have a different definition of winning football than me. As I understand you have to actually win trophies to be playing winning football. Clearly you have a different definition where you can play winning football without actually winning anything.
123… Players want to win trophies too. (Even Spurs players). ……………
If we look at the two teams in the CL final last night and we see that they have spent well over a billion each on players, since their respective owners have been in place., then we can see why they have been winning as much as they have…
It’s why Chelsea and City have now won the PL 5 times each, just in the past 17 seasons. As well as those other big spenders Man U. Also winning the PL 5 times, in that time.
So, since just a year after Abramovic and his billions arrived at Chelsea in 2003. And since Sheik Mansour bought City in 2008, only 2 other clubs have won the PL, aside from those 3 super-rich, mega-spenders.
Then if we add in all the other trophies they’ve each won as well… This is not a coincidence!
So jod, let’s say that a team (any team) has won every single CL match to take themselves to the final but then lose that final. Does that then mean (according to yourself) that the only result that really counts as a win, is in the final itself?
Is this a new rule that we’ve all somehow missed. Except for you, of course…
