Well, Thomas Frank now knows what it means to be Spurs manager...
Maddison torn ACL. Sheesh. They need to go all-in for Eze.

Going to pay a fortune. Teams know you got to fill a need
the season is getting ready to start, and the window has just a few weeks left. Levy going to have to crack open the Club wallet and spend - and he hates that. FYI: Spurs finally landed a quality gaffer - Frank is really, really good.

Eze does have a release clause, apparently.
So Palace couldn't strong arm them if they choose to go that route.

Lol, probably.

I don't think he's a great fit there, though, TBH.
He's a much better fit for Frank's system. As of today, one of the BBC's top reporters says Arsenal is unlikely to make a move for him at this time, FWIW. Sounds like Spurs are sniffing around Paz at Como.

Well, we have no No. 10 at all now.
With both of those guys out. And Frank needs a No. 10 for his 4-2-3-1. Right now it would be Sarr most likely, who isn't really a No. 10.

My grandson is not a fan of Am. football. However he watches ...
... Aston Villa if they are playing on TV. ** Edited by Atlee Hokie at 8/7/2025, 12:05:28 PM

I like watching Villa play. Well managed...
Well run at the highest level, so they get the most out of their resources.

Make no mistake...
If more people here watched soccer, I'd mention them in an article about what VT should be striving to be in terms of efficiency. Them and Brentford. At least Spurs got Brentford's manager.

i'm a wolves supporter. i spend all season waiting to see if we'll be
relegated or not. that's our idea of excitement....

When the Wolves hired Nuno as their manager, I thought they had made a
great hire. I was surprised by how things turned out and the mutual decision to part ways.

yup. and look at how well he's doing at forest. i'm happy for him.

Me too because he comes across in interviews as one of the "good guys" that
you can't help to root to do well at whatever he does. I guess the one consolation for Wolves fans is West Brom didn't hire him to be their manager.

this could very well be our relegation season. season opener at home vs.
man city. we'll see how that goes............

For whatever reason I have always considered the Wolves to be in that group
of "Yo-Yo" clubs. If the Wolves are relegated this year, then I'm expecting to see them bounce back and forth between the two tiers for the next couple of years.

Looks like Spurs may be doing some shopping during the transfer window.
Even if the move isn't permanent, Spurs should be able to find a team willing to loan a player for the entire season or at least until the Winter transfer window.

I expect they'll buy one.
They were going to spend 60 million on Morgan Gibbs-White but the front office managed to botch it. So that's 60 million, plus the 20+ they got from the Son sale. So they've got at least 80 million to spend, and probably a bit more.

I would think so too. However, ManU has shown a willingness to loan high
profile players (i.e. Martial and now Rashford). If the Spurs think both players will be back to form once they have healed and they are in the Spurs' future, then the Spurs may not want 3 No. 10s on their 23-man roster (assuming they can't play another position). Hence why I thought they may be open to going the loan route (full season or short season).

1 week out is only surpassed by someone tearing it in the 1st
15 minutes of the first match. That's brutal.

Went to a Chisox Spring game in Sarasota during Frank's peak
Got tickets right by first base to watch him. He was a massive man out there, easily the biggest major leaguer I've seen. Was very amiable with the fans, but the man who stole the show was none other than Dick Vitale, who for some reason was out on the field. Came over and talked to the fans forever. A little off subject, but believe it or not, one of the best fan interactions I've seen was none other than Ricky Henderson. I was in San Diego for work and went to see the Padres and Giants play. Bonds hit two of his historic HRs that game. Before the game, Rickey came over to the third base side and just chatted up all the fans close to the field. He also added to his SB record that day.

I wonder if Ricky understood how much his interacting with the fans...
...would make their baseball experience far better than just watching the games, not to mention stories to tell the rest of their lives. I got to talk to Coach Cav for about 15 minutes at one of the VT Football Recruiting Round-Ups, and that made him my favorite coach on Frank's staff. His candid assessments of the players also helped. I think we all miss those days...
