This advice is going to help me a lot with self doubt…
say it with me "old white men aren't worth arguing with. old white men aren't worth arguing with. old white men aren't worth arguing with."

Simons may not work out. Ndombele didn’t work out not too long ago. But comparing a 22 year old in his 1st half season on rudderless Spurs to 27 year old Eze in his 6th PL on a consistent title challenger isn’t an appropriate evaluation to make.
FWIW I don't think Simons is easy to evaluate. Spurs don't have a competent midfield and this guy is on the other side of that.
He'd almost certainly look A LOT better at Chelsea.
Meanwhile Eze has looked nothing but amazing amongst Arsenal's general competence and squad depth.

Now let me just go back through the transfer flows assesment of Simons v Eze transfer? 😳

Frank isn’t really operating like a project manager either, the midfield is built around 2 players 28+ in age that are just fine. VdV is the only Spurs player 25 or younger who has made more than half the available starts. Said this before but Spurs hierarchy got last year all wrong.
But the broader issue imo is that if you go with a safe pair of hands manager, you're so results dependant. Because what is Frank if not a kind of sensible Ange antidote who will make Spurs competitive again? And with a manager like TF you can't even really talk in project terms

Spurs 2 elite players are CBs whose biggest strengths aren’t sitting back and marking. It makes zero sense to set up matches where Spurs sit back and wait for those precise actions to take place.

And yet with the starting CBs available they’ve managed to be MORE open.
Boy Thomas Frank is really making Spurs smoke the whole pack after catching them complaining about being too open under Ange huh.

I wonder if we’ll see a lot of the Relentless Raspberry 3rd kit eventually
It should come as no surprise that Benfica will always course through Boston Legacy Coach Patão’s veins, but she still feels she made the right decision coming to Boston (despite the team’s color):

Did I enjoy Miami beating our old nemesis in a top 10 showdown? Absolutely. Do I trust Mario Cristobal to game manage his way into the college football playoff? I do not.

Plenty of time left, even if the outcomes turn out good this has been bad process.
Spurs still looking for an attacker and a centre-half. They'd prefer a winger, but depends on availability, and Simons can play out there
Rafael Leao has been raised as an option but seen as a difficult deal to do

Great thread that goes into what I mentioned earlier in more detail. Not a reason to panic, but disappointing before an international break at home. Palhinha has uses (against big teams like City/PSG and maybe low block teams where you play more aggressively with your front 5) but not today.

I thought that was the worst match Spurs have played since they’ve had the Romero-VdV partnership. Playing Palhinha/Bentancur/Sarr/BJ against a team that was very likely to press was malpractice

Examples from that last post. Vic, Udogie, VdV, Romero, Porro, Sarr, Bentancur, Deki all recently fit in that category and that’s also where Son came from (they had success with Eriksen, Toby, Jan, and Lamela using this path as well).

Spurs had quite a few of these players from Ange’s 1st team that was CL worthy if not for PL teams being inept in Europe that year. Kim and I may not agree on the quality of our current players who fit in this category but she is absolutely correct on the approach.
My big gripe with Tottenham Hotspur is that a team of their budget and status should invest a lot of their time and resources into getting really good at the £25-50m signings from the big 4 leagues on the continent, and that is the type of transfer they are the absolute worst at

Conte is such a clown. Confident Djed is such an awesome thing to see.
Spence is a leading contender for my new favorite Spurs player. Sarr in the mix and after the weekend, so is Kudus.

Look would I love Savinho, Eze, and Hincapié? Absolutely. Would it run counter to every transfer window I can remember? You bet.

Have they considered selling a player or two to make up the gap on Eze and Savinho?

There’s already been 4 times in this match where a Newcastle player has been able to make a dangerous pass because Ben Davies thinks his position is Left Sweeper.

I’m confused about why Spurs fans were talking about Hojbjerg in relation to Palhinha. They seem like very different players.

Good stuff from @nathanaclark.bsky.social as usual, have Spurs been credibly linked with any of these players? Speaks to the wariness around the process this Summer they discussed on the latest pod.
