@Billie_T The Nico Williams BOMBA out of the blue will hit like crack…

@georgeachillea “Not a big game player” 🙄

[William Margot @willmargot]

@SpursArmyTweets This is exactly how i feel. Where were Wharton, Anderson, Fenandes, Tonali at 19? Send him on loan to a premiership club for a year and see what everyone thinks of him then. Even if you want to sell (unlikely with where Bentacur will be in 12 mionths), he'll be worth more then...

[William Margot @willmargot]

@ben_bowman_ Rashford and Savinho; yes please.

[William Margot @willmargot]

@LilywhiteLab What’s your dream job? Both actually in football and media.

[William Margot @willmargot]

@SebOnFootball @OnlyTottenham_ If we spent our entire transfer budget on two players, which realistic two players would you buy that make the biggest impact in total points next year?

[William Margot @willmargot]

@georgeachillea No issue with it if the buyback is 40m… if no buyback then this is criminal.

[William Margot @willmargot]

@LilywhiteLab Your dream summer signings (realistic and unrealistic )

[William Margot @willmargot]

@levynomics1882 @Billie_T If I was to guess, the 24.99% could be to keep them under specific preemption/notice provisions…

[William Margot @willmargot]

@levynomics1882 @Billie_T This just doesn’t make sense to me. I thought I’d seen a statement from the Lewis family saying they knew nothing about this? Id be SHOCKED if there wasn’t a shareholder agreement… any right of preemption/notice would ordinarily be primarily contained in a shareholders agreement

[William Margot @willmargot]

@AndyForrester1 @Jon_Mackenzie As this was, in my opinion, the number 1 issue for Frank (together with how his teams progress the ball from deep), what were Brentford’s numbers the season before he moved to Spurs?

FWIW - Iraola’s OOP is much more suited to a top team than Franks was…

[William Margot @willmargot]

@NathanAClark I think we need to upgrade our three weakest starters in our best XI over everything else (6, 9 and 11 for me...)

[William Margot @willmargot]

@georgeachillea I'd LOVE Minteh, i also wouldnt mind Rashford as an option here. That said, because we aren't in Europe, we should concentrate on getting the best possible starting XI and that means spending as much as possible on getting the best possible 6 and 9.

[William Margot @willmargot]

@AJSturt THIS. If we do, you'll feel really good about these signings, if we dont, i think Spurs fans will continue to be frustrated about how we plan squad/first XI improvements and allocate our resources

[William Margot @willmargot]

Hey @Kish_P14 , with no Europe, I really feel that strengthening the first XI is the most important target for summer. To this end, what are the 3-4 worst positions in our best XI that we should upgrade and what are your dream achievable targets? Feel free to do a video 😬

[William Margot @willmargot]

@viahalfspace What about Ramos for the 9?

@georgeachillea Why do I immediately not like this? Xavi back at LW where he hasn’t been great, tel not starting, gray dropped when he’s arguably been our best player and Gallagher is starting when he’s arguably been our worst player. I really hope I’m wrong…

[William Margot @willmargot]

@MH_SV5 @Spielvrlagerung @georgeachillea you’ll enjoy this chain of tweets following on from your video about biases in our scouting team.

[William Margot @willmargot]

@georgeachillea against them. I also wonder how many scouts actually assess a player in the process; the less people that assess each player, the higher the likelihood of variance in the assessment.

[William Margot @willmargot]

@georgeachillea Data should form part of those thresholds, but it can't be the sole input. Context must also be applied to every element of the assessment, particularly around each scout's own biases & heuristics and the player assessment process itself should be designed 2 specifically guard...
