Was listening to the fighting cock podcast and they brought up an interesting point. This is the first time in recent years we haven’t had a shitty end to our season:

15/16 - fall short in title challenge and end up below arse for the 20-something straight season
16/17 - fall short to Conte’s Chelsea with a point total that would have won the league 3 of the previous 6 seasons
17/18 - lose FA cup semi to United
18/19 - CL final loss
19/20 - Poch fired / jose hired we limp into 6th
20/21 - Jose fired / lose cup final & Kane wants to gtfo

21/22 - beat rival to champions league position, Conte commits, owner injects cash, Perisic signed a week after season ends, etc.

Feels fricking good

Looks like we've dropped Winks, and rumors are that we're picking up Fraser Forster?

Talks heating up between Weston McKennie and Spurs in the last few days.

Would love McKennie to join Spurs, but I doubt he’d start over Betancur or Hojberg.

ESPN

He has been good for us, but the pecking order is long.

Will miss Bergy, his debut goal against Man City and the brace that stole 3 points at Leicester was crucial for us.

Wish him the best, he deserves first team minutes ahead of the WC this year.

Bastoni has confirmed he's staying at Inter. Shame.

I'm irrationally upset they left Sonny out of the PFA TOTY.

Big day so far

Richarlison about to be official from Everton up front, Clement Lenglet coming on loan from Barcelona as our presumed left CB in a back 3, and close to getting terms with Djed Spence from Middlesbrough at RB

It’s refreshing getting these done early and not waiting until the last minute to get these signings across the line. Do you think they locked Levy in a closet until after the window?

Am I the only one that has to hold my nose at the idea of watching Richarlison every week? It’ll be interesting to see how he handles being a rotation player.

I’m right there with you. Not a fan of his or this signing. Can’t see him being a team player with the chemistry we already have.

Yep I’m with you upon initial reaction, but he might just be one of those players that everyone hates unless he plays for your team.

I just hope it’s a Conte signing, and not something pushed on him by the board. If Conte wants him that’s good enough for me. Plus, it’s been so long since we’ve had a proper backup to Harry Kane, that will allow him to rest, I’m a bit more forgiving. He’s surely an upgrade over Llorente, Vinicius, Son out of position and no-one.

Richarlison is one of my least favorite players in the league but you can’t deny his ability and he fits perfectly into what we need. I can’t imagine we spent £50MM on a player and it’s not someone Conte wanted so I’m not worried about that aspect of the transfer.

He’s a count, but he’s our count now

I’ve already seen the jokes that Richarlison & Cristian Romero need to go to couple’s therapy because of the years of mutual shithousery towards each other

We truly haven't had a replacement for Lamela's shithousery until now. It's all coming together.

And now this from Romano. A lot of people giving us shite because of Lenglet's recent form at Barca, but similar things were said about Kulu and Bentancur last season. Hhe's one of the best CBs in Europe on the ball. If Conte and Paratici want him, let's go.

quote:

Tottenham have now reached full agreement with Clément Lenglet on personal terms. He’s happy to join Spurs with Antonio Conte pushing to have him.

At this point, what is your starting 11? I have to be honest, not sure what we will be running and who goes to the bench.
