MoroccanBlue 5,381 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 @Vesper I’m speaking in terms of influence and how it’ll impact the side. Not one of those players bar maybe Zappacosta influenced the team. We are losing Hazard and bringing in 6 players where if everything goes right, could all take the influence Hazard had, distributed among them. At the very worst, we would stand still as a team.

We aren’t held back because we are losing Drinkwater/Bakayoko, and dozens of loan players that’ll never kick a ball for us. We are held back because we are losing Hazard. My point is that if those 6 players, players Lampard will undoubtably utilise, show their worth, they can fill the void Hazard left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes maybe not kicked on at Juve in last season or two but he is comfortably better than Mata and Lingard who will be his competition for the number 10 role. Hes wasted out wide which along with Juve building the team around Ronaldo is probably why he struggled at Juventus with Allegri last season but again I cant see why Sarri wouldnt look to use him as a second striker in a 4312 like he used at Empoli and tried to use at Napoli. Maybe but Lukaku trying to play technical football with Sarriball doesn't feel right. Does Sarri actually want him or are Juventus pushing for this? On the other hand, Conte is gonna be fuming again over not getting Lukaku...again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im a bit unsure if its club driven or Sarri driven the move. Although Sarri had Higuain at Napoli and many probably wouldnt of assumed was a really technical player (although he is technically is light years ahead of Lukaku). But yeah a really technically gifted player like Dybala who can play as a 10 or second striker, bags of energy, can score and create, I would have assumed that Sarri would of wanted him to be part of his plans. I would of thought he would have been a really big fan of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strike 7,489 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 All doom and gloom in here. I think we are very much in the mix for top 4 and people are overstating Arsenal and United's business.

Vesper 30,169 Posted July 31, 2019 Share Posted July 31, 2019 Pochettino fumes: 'I'm not in charge' of transfers https://www.espn.co.uk/football/tottenham-hotspur/story/3909695/pochettino-fumes-im-not-in-charge-of-transfers Mauricio Pochettino has distanced himself from Tottenham's lack of transfer activity, suggesting that his title may need to be changed from manager to head coach. So far this summer, Tottenham have broken their transfer record to sign Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon, while they have also signed young winger Jack Clarke from Leeds United, where he will return on loan for the coming season. Having gone the two previous transfer windows without a single signing, a frustrated Pochettino believes he should not be the one held responsible for the lack of arrivals at White Hart Lane. "I am not in charge and I know nothing about the situation of my players," Pochettino said after Tottenham's 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the Audi Cup. "I am only coaching them and trying to get the best from them. Sell, buy players, sign contract, not sign contract -- I think it is not in my hands, it's in the club's hands and [chairman] Daniel Levy. "Maybe the club need to change my title and description. My job now is to coach the team. Of course I am the boss deciding the strategy to play, training, in my area, but in another area I don't know. Today, I feel like I am the coach." The Argentine previously saw his job title changed from head coach to manager in 2016 after signing a new contract with the club. The north London side have also struggled to shift unwanted players this summer. Georges-Kevin Nkoudou and Danny Rose were among those left out of the club's tour of Asia "to explore prospective opportunities with other clubs" but both are still on Tottenham's books. snip Superblue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All was clearly not well last season despite them reaching the Champions League final and Poch has already said if they won that he would've walked. I can see him gone by next summer and if Zidane and Sarri both fail, there will be two big job opportunities available in Europe. There's also a good chance Solskjaer won't be at United long term too... OneMoSalah, Vesper and Fernando 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hope Martial, Rashford, Dybala will be stamping on each others feet. It doesn't make sense atall. The first thing Sarri did when he arrived here was cut out the players who lacked the technical ability for his football (Cahill, Bakayoko,Tammy, Michy, Zouma) yet now he's actively after Lukaku? Something isn't adding up on both sides because not only is he not the type of player Sarri goes after I can't see Maurizio giving Lukaku the guarantee that he craves (getting a starting spot handed to him on a plate).

Pepe is pretty wounding tbh (he would have solved a lot of issues for us) although out of all our rivals it's probably best he goes Arsenal because as good as he is he's not going to make Emery a good defensive coach and he will have a problem getting him, Auba and Lacazette in the same team, atleast one will be playing out of position unless he goes 424 which will in turn make their already fragile defense even worse.
