The Manchester United Thread

Hypothetical but as Spurs seem to be on the brink of what I personally think would be one of the best buys of the summer in Ajax's Davidson-Sanchez for £35m, who is an absolute beast and has the potential to be one of the best in the world.

Should we of gone for him over Lindelof? Not any mark against Lindelof at all, but Davidson-Sanchez looks a monster and everyone thought he was bound for a Spanish giant like Barca this summer. Top business by Spurs if they get him.

Apart from what IxI Ra said don't really know about the best buy. Even though I rate him don't think Spurs really need a new CB in the most.

That's a good point tbf, but he'll get top class tutoring from Vertonghen and Aldeweireld.

This isn't really relevant to United thread, but who do you think Spurs need? Because they have obviously lost Walker, but I still think they have one of the best starting 11's in the league. But they are thread bare in depth at some areas.

Yeah, Spurs need better squad players.

Yeh, although I suppose the beauty with Pocchettino is how he trusts the youth to fill in that role of his team.

Dunno, they got a lot of decent players: - Ayew, Ogbonna, Arnautovic, Chicharito, Lanzini etc.

Lets hope you're not eating your words after tomorrow :P
 
I seem to remember us struggling to contain Antonio last season, our LB couldn't match him for physicality? Or was that Sissoko for Spurs? Muddled up a little bit

Yes decent.
 
Think I'll just watch Chelsea too but the Rooney factor drawing me to Everton/Stoke.
 
Hadn't thought of that will actually swap to them if Chelsea go up also want to see how the other new signings get on

Good point that. I know other managers like Klopp etc... get kudos for bringing through youth but Pochettino is the only manager who really trusts his youth players and will throw them in consistently whatever the situation.

Another problem of the wage structure at spurs. Why join spurs as a squad player when you can get the same wages as their first team players playing for the likes of Stoke, Westham etc..
 
Spurs are paradoxical in today's football. Everyone are complaining that footballers earn too much, yet Spurs are cheap bastards for keeping their players salaries on somewhat normal level...
