@AlasdairGold For someone so young with such a high ceiling this seems very short sighted. Young talented players such as Vuskovic, Bergvall and Gray should be developed. By all means loan them out to give them regular game time but don't sell them unless you're sure it's not going to work.
@JackPittBrooke Kinsky’s bounce-back since Madrid is brilliant, and his passing helps us, but we're overestimating him as a pure shot-stopper because we love an underdog story. Vicario’s quality will remind everyone why he’s Italy's no. 2 soon enough.
@FabrizioRomano An excellent keeper, overly criticised for not being strong enough at set pieces and not having the distribution of Manuel Neuer. His fantastic shot stopping far outweighed any deficiencies and I'll miss his passion, commitment and leadership. A real loss if he goes.
Teddy Sheringham on Tottenham's current situation...
“Ange Postecoglou must still be sitting at home thinking, ‘how did I lose my Tottenham job?’ I mean, he told everyone he was going to win something in two years, and he did.
“They haven't won something for a long, long time so when he's won the club a trophy, he's somehow lost his job. Why is he still not in charge?
“I understand the league position last season wasn't great, but he put all his eggs in one basket to win something, because he wanted to win something. We all want to win something. I'm still mystified on that decision to replace him to this day.
“I know it was very 50-50 between the fans about whether he should stay or go even though he won a trophy. But I think some of the football that Spurs played was just phenomenal at times.
“Some of the games I saw they could have been six up in the first 10 minutes, by the way they peppered teams and got behind them. It was just unbelievable, unbelievable edge-of-the-seat football from the first kick-off, and that's what you want as a punter, to be entertained.
“It would be very interesting to see where we would be if he had stayed, that’s for sure. I'm not saying that Spurs should go back to him, not now anyway, but we'll never know.
“Well, everyone thought Thomas Frank was such a good appointment in the first place, but that turned very sour very quickly. I think the jury was still out for me with Thomas Frank.
“He did well at Brentford but there's a big difference between managing Brentford and Tottenham. I could tell the jury was still out, but a lot of Tottenham fans were quite happy with him coming in. The whole situation obviously proved too difficult, and the way the team played in the last two or three games of his tenure was so bad that something had to be done.
“Then, for Igor Tudor to come in, who doesn’t know anything about the Premier League, was just so such an absurd appointment that it just couldn't work.
“I don't know who sanctioned the move, but it was just ridiculous. Overall, for me, it's a combination of things. It’s the people above the management, and after that you need to take account of what's happened. It’s absurd what's been going on at the football club over the last 18 months.”

@claudelittner To create a winning culture you don't sack the manager to end a 17yr trophy drought. 5th in season 1, followed by a trophy and a league cup semi in season 2, despite an horrific injury crisis and a lack of squad depth. Ridiculously under appreciated by some within our fanbase.
@Ramon_Vega71 Few in numbers, but vocal. Those fans didn't enjoy watching us play good football and winning a trophy. 5th, followed by our first EL trophy in 41 years and a LC semi was a miracle with a squad worse than the one we have now. Ideally we'd bring back Ange, but this will do
@ChrisCowlin If we can't have Postacoglou back, this seems like the next best option. I'd love us to play like we did under Ange, it was always great to watch
@HaytersTV If we can't have Postacoglou, this seems like the next best option. I want to see us play the Postacoglou way again, because it was so good to watch
"I think it's a high-risk appointment and probably not worth it."
@Dan_KP is wary of Tottenham's 'misguided pursuit' of Roberto De Zerbi.
Do you think he's the man to save Spurs' season?
@goodbadftblpod I agree that Ange is the man they should be hiring, but I disagree that we should have kept Frank, the football was terrible all season and we were heading down with him in charge, they made the change too late if anything.
@TomAllnutt_ For me, Ange is the no.1 choice. He knows the players, they clearly believe in his football, his philosophy and he's a great motivational speaker with a point to prove. De Zerbi has a similar style, but without the connection. Does he have the time to implement it?
