Summer signings

[di_guyo]

Sorry, two different thoughts in that.

Thought one was I expected Spurs to struggle more last season.

Thought two was that we have a long way to go to get close to Arsenal.

Haha, no worries. I was taken by surprise, but all clear now bud.

I actually agree with you too. Although we were in the conversation a couple of seasons back, our squad and resources were inferior and we were effectively punching above our weight. If we're to seriously challenge for automatic European spots there's quite a leap to be made.

Didn't he get a really bad head injury recently

Yeah done by fans apparently

[sixymack]

Rondon anyone??  16.5 million pound release clause.  28 years old.  Showed he was a class act after the McCarthy injury.  Powerful player.  Worth a punt at that money surely and could he play with Tosun or too similar?

Doesn’t score goals. I think they’ll struggle to shift him even at that price

[brap2]

Have always been a big Rondon fan. Best hold up outside the top 6.

Think he’d score more in a better system, but we’ve no idea if Marco wants a big number 9 yet.

Wouldn’t hate him as a back up plan, or if the system required a big back-to-goal fella.

Would have saved koeman had he got him start of the year.

[Jimmywhack]

I'd have rondon. We need pace galore around him tho

[Makis]

Heck no. Brands will look for younger players with potential. We have Tosun and DCL already, add a quality forward and that's plenty enough. Adding a mediocre striker is of no use.

I like Rondon but I think it is more about that incident, and how he comes across as a person, rather than as a player. File under 'Naismith'.

[Ramjam]

No for me, Brands wants to bring the average age down and sign young energetic ball chasers and I don’t think big Ronnie fits that profile

[dunkster]

Really has got me wondering what silva and brands will be after in terms of what we already have. Klaasen, sandro and lookman may all be considered candidates for the starting eleven.

[The Blue 3/4 of Liverpool]

Rondon is a good worker, but far too similar to Tosun. We need a goal scorer with pace and finishing ability - a step up from what we have, not more of the same.

[dunkster]

Does silva tend to play the same 4-2-3-1 formation we are used to?

[Makis]

Mostly, but he likes two box-to-box midfielders instead of one plus a defensive mid. Fullbacks also need to attack more than they have done since Martinez left.

I hope not. I'd like to see some tactical flexibility from the pretty rigid shite we've been served up the past four years.

[dunkster]

I wanna see more empashis on player movement into space and stringing passes together
