I'm not sure Rodon stays. He was named in the Wales squad the other day. I reckon he could be sold
----------------------------------------------------------------------
apparently injured, almost as much as a waste of time and opportunity as ndombele if we did sell him already
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah but he got called up? I agree, I wouldn't want him sold
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Probably been told by the club that hell be fit for next weekend

I would like to see Winks start vs Watford in place of Skipp.

Nothing against Skipp but we need to dominate the ball better, especially at home and 2 DMs is overkill IMO.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Only issue with that is the idea that Winks dominates the ball
----------------------------------------------------------------------

true but he's a better option than Skipp IMO. Skipp should be cover for PEH or an insurance policy when protecting a lead....not a starter at home against relegation fodder

I get what you're saying, if Winks was playing really well. At the moment though I don't see what he offers that Skipp doesn't.

I think you have to give all players another chance when a new man comes in.

Winks is a better baller than PEH & Skipp on his day.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
problem is his day is 1 every 3 matches, the other two being pretty awful. whereas PEH is one of most consistent players and Skipp is full of confidence and doesnt deserve to be dropped.

i like Winks and if hes happy being a squad player then fine staying

I agree with the sentiment of not wanting skipp and Højbjerg to start

Think the solution is lo Celso though not winks

Should loan Rodon out if he can't be get a regular start.

But if the 17 player non HG quota is a problem I would still sell Sanchez and keep Rodon. Hopefully sell Aurier and bring in Tomiyasu.

Does he even count as HG? I thought Wales was different

only HG in the premier league not europe

think we are fine for Non HG players as it is, so if Aurier and Sissoko go we can fill 2 slots with signings

What's going on with Ndombele? Is he refusing to train or not training to Nuno's desired level?

Seems a bit ridiculous now. He didn't even have the Euros. Should be ahead of most fitness wise, not behind.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


There have been no reports about refusing to train or not training well or having a bad attitude.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Apart from when the manager told the press that it isn't his job to convince players to want to play from Tottenham and that whatever it is has to come from himself which he reiterated numerous times. I think that tells us all we need to know about what's happening behind the scenes with Tanguy. It's not to difficult to read between the lines.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
That doesn't at all suggest that he's got an attitude problem - just that he's asked to leave the club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't think he has a bad attitude at all, just think he's struggling mentally to fit in over here - the Amazon doc showed that. Throw in another new manager, his fall down to earth and his two best mates in the country being sold and I'd be surprised if he plays for us again.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Those are all feeble excuses when the guy has had such a massive investment put into him by the club. £10m a year...home sick?....poor little lamb, Suck it up buttercup!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't disagree but even if he does get paid insane money, he is still a human being. One of the problems with splashing out huge sums of money on young players is that you just can't account for personality or mental fortitude during the transition - there's no protection for the club and I doubt it's something that comes up in scouting.

In the NFL, young players coming into the league are on structured contracts that make it easy to cut ties if they can't transition to the big leagues - there should be something similar in football

The premier league is all about greed, they are not interested in the clubs and players

It should.

I really want GLC to excel but he just hasnt shown anything. I still do not really know what his best position is, what his strengths are, and hes been here 2 years Make or break season!
