Tottenham are facing an anxious wait to find out whether UEFA and FIFA will impose a 30-month footballing ban imposed on managing director of football Fabio Paratici by Italian authorities. (Daily Telegraph)




Lets hope

If he was banned, how would that impact Tottingham Hotspurs?

I rate Toney but wouldn’t touch him unless he’s cleared of the gambling charges.

Exactly for Toney read the same conversations this time last year ref the criminal investigations around Bissouma.

We are winning games by being very solid but lack pace and a bit of creativity.  Like today against Saints.  Well solid but we need a pacey winger to create some panic for the opposition.

Big week ahead in terms of transfers. We need to add to the squad because we are looking very thin right now

Yes, but I mean would it stop them buying or selling players?

I'm worried about Bailey and Buendia's consistency. I'm also worried about a few of the players who seem a little shoe horned into the wide spots of the 4-4-2, even McGinn (albeit he's played better there than he had been in the centre under Gerrard). JJ doesn't seem confident on the ball and gives it away constantly when pressed (maybe not entirely sharp after injury).

Gerrard flogging off three wide players has left us well short. I think we need much better than Bailey or Buendia in those respective positions. We need another couple of wide options. I hate (really hate) saying it, but Joe Mini-Shinpads would have a field day playing on the left of Unai's system. So a player of a similar ilk would be good. Someone with an alice band.

We also need someone pushing Douglas. I really don't think he's being pressed for his place enough and it's clear Sanson or Splendid aren't viable alternatives. I'd rather see JJ there but I don't think Unai will see him as composed or cultured enough on the ball to play the middle role. We need someone a little closer to Kamara's level of class and consistency.

Correct. This Bailey (if Watkins got injured) makeshift striker fantasy the fanbase were clinging onto ended today.

Nope!

We need some forward players in - I think most else cant wait personally - but if Watkins or Bailey get injuried - were pretty fucked

Beundia, Phil, Bailey all too inconsitent - I would like to see something a bit difference.  Maybe some with a bit more pace and power then we have

Ibrahim Sangare from PSV for Kamaras partner... He is my first & only choice to partner Kamara. And then Timmy...

I don't get the constant chat on here that we need a partner for Kamara, surely Luiz is having a fine season next to him? Very good again today and a brilliant assist. Don't think CM is a priority position that we have to strengthen.

If Zaha was a few years younger he'd be ideal.
