Edmond Tapsoba

Sure I know about technology but we rarely get deals done while we're on tour.

Hopefully Daniel brought his fax machine with him

Isnt this more a question of style? I can understand the club not buying a player a manager wants if the club thinks the manager won’t be here long and the new manager will have a completely different way of playing.

But that is the issue! If Brighton lose De Zerbi they will get another De Zerbi/Potter. The players they buy fit a style and they only hire managers who play that way. It’s easy to ‘’back the manager’’ when you know even if the manager leaves those players will still be useful.

I think the club can only ‘’back the manager’’ if it backs a style so the players, managers, scouts youth system have an aligned way of doing things. This is what almost every elite club does these days and we don’t, we swing from style like a drunk falling around a bar. We need more than sticking with a manager to stick with a way of playing and build off that.

Hopefully with the movement to an analysis approach for identifying players, and the appointment of Ange, maybe we’re trying to go the Brighton route.

The Brighton method seems very sensible when PL managers in general seem to have a short tenure. Avoids the need to tear up the system and go into a rebuild every few years.

Can’t come in soon enough. Even Romero isn’t convincing nowadays.

 

[jpascavitz]

Would be so so so good business to get him in with a solid English HG option like Tosin.

I love the prospect of van de Ven, but truly think Tapsoba could slide right in seamlessly and Tosin could challenge/provide cover for Romero.

Fofana at Chelsea has damaged his ACL and will be out for the season.

Wouldn’t surprise me if they look at VDV and Tapsoba.

Need to get a move on sharpish.

Christ he can't catch a break can he? They did take a big risk signing him for such massive money and a long contract off the back of a massive injury season as Leciester, mind.

They're still doing OK at CB with Silva, Colwill, Badiashille and Chalobah so not sure they need to spend big on another one. Colwill looks exceptional and having him get more minutes won't do them any harm.

A defence is only as good as it’s weakest part and unfortunately we have a few holes.

Looks like they might be looking for one

 

[Timberwolf]

Looks like they might be looking for one

Would they spend 50m, though? Maybe they would knowing Chelsea.

 

[rossdapep]

We don't need a lot to add to the squad other than CBs now (this summer), therefore to not spend significantly on it would be a huge mistake.

Eh not much of a risk since they will be able to sell him off to the Saudi league for 40M next summer

 

[RobjDerby]

Maybe we can sell them all of ours

Ugh would be so typical. The Koulibaly deal was an absolute farce.

They'll pay 70 - Cucurella style

 

[For the love of Spurs]

As in Spurs get a fucking move on and do the deal before Caicedo is done.

He’s a right sick note isn’t he!

Pretty sure he had a long-term injury at Leicester, which they support him with and he then rewarded them by demanding to leave at first opportunity.

So karma...

Yep. If anything it solves a problem for Poch. Classic spurs fans worrying about something that isn’t likely to happen though. I doubt it’s likely in this case.

And knee injuries at his club in France before Leicester signed him.

Year after year after year they talk about the need to buy new players, talk to players and then it's quiet... playing in negotiations and losing players like Grealish, Bruno, Kim, or Diaz from Liverpool. Everyone ran away because of Levi and his nonsense.
Two new defenders is a must and he is once again negotiating to the death.
Meanwhile Tanganga, Dier and Sanchez are still here as usual.
