Of the four players Spurs purchased/loaned in the Summer, Sessignon is injured as is Ndombele, Lo Celso apparently is not up it at the moment, and the young fella we purchased from Leeds has gone back on a season loan.
So just two games into the season, not one of our new signings is available tomorrow. With Verts out of favour, Eriksen wanting away, the season when Spurs were supposed to push on, is already looking not that good. What a total joke that none of our new players are not available.
Spurs not only need a result tomorrow, but also a performance, will we get it, I very much doubt, maybe sneak a 1-0 win with another late goal in all probability.
Cannot Spurs for once just sign players that will slot straight into the first team, injury free from the off.
Spurs transfer policy is truely dreadful

Absolutely no reason to think Lo Celso is going to be a worldy. Took ages to get him over the line, then only a loan deal, then he is nowhere to be seen. I am getting bad vibes already that Poch has seen him, and don't really fancy him now. Saying he is a long way from starting is hardly a vote of confidence.

He did not impress at the Copa A.
But neither did the whole Argentine team TBF.

That’s pretty good.
If Eriksen can give us 90 more mins
At least with injuries, the team just picks itself.
Don’t have to worry about Lo Celso being any good or not.
Which Lamela will show up
And what position NDombele can be shoe horned into

The combination of negativity and ignorance about the way modern football works on this thread is astounding.
Poch won’t have scouted Lo Celso and chased him all summer to watch him train for a week and decide he ‘doesn’t fancy him’. He’s a 23 year old lad who’s just moved to another country and hasn’t trained with us properly yet. He will get phased in. We still have Eriksen that can play that position. Lest we forget Poch did bring GLC on against City. The guy scored and assisted 16 goals in La Liga last season, he’ll be fine.
It wasn’t a case of money first, football second in signing him. He wasn’t available for pre season regardless of when we signed him, due to the Copa America. We could’ve signed him in January, and his summer timeline would’ve still been the same.
The loan deal helps Betis save money on what they owe PSG, and helped us get the deal over the line. We are obligated to buy him provided we get European football - so unless you expect us to finish outside the top 7 you can confidently say he’s a Spurs player.
Really don’t get the negativity.

I get your post Ace, but Lo Celso was not the only player engaged in competition during the summer, yet seems to be just about the only player not up and running. All the Liverpool front three were heavily involved in Competitive football in the summer, but we're up and running almost from the off. absolutely no excuses why Lo Celso should in Poch's words be miles off starting.
