Ok, so who joins Spurs as manager?

 

Talk is Pochettino, but I just don't see him leaving Southampton. He's got a great gig there, and they're pretty happy with him.

 

Van Gaal? Nope, looks like ManUre have jumped on that ship quickly, and honestly, it works out better for all parties imo. He fits in well as a guy who can turn the team around while replacing older vets with younger talent, wants to do it a few years only, and can groom Giggs to be his eventual successor. I'm hoping Spurs are looking for a long-term guy, who will be there the next 10 years or so. So, LVG wouldn't fit that for the long-term.

 

Someone no one's heard of? Not likely, as the fans would lynch Levy at that point. Besides, if we wanted a guy who may or may not succeed, we should have just stuck with Sherwood.

 

 

I'd like to see us go after De Boer. I think he'd fit well with the club, the players, and the fans. He'd bring back attacking, exciting football, all while not ignoring the defense or tactics. I think he gives Spurs the best shot at winning, and finishing higher in the standings next year.

Flo Perez has a hard on for Benz so it wouldn't shock me. 

 

Sounds like Real has an agreement with Sevilla for Rakitic. Good player, but not starting XI caliber for RM. Also, Di Maria does look like the most likely to be sold between him and Benz, though both could still go. Likely "big" targets for the Summer are obviously Suarez, but also Vidal from Juventus. Seems like Juve wants to keep Pogba for at least another season, so Real has turned their sights to Vidal to replace Khedira in the midfield. I still would rather them go in for Pogba and find a "bargain" #9 who will compliment Bale and Ronaldo but whatever, Flo wants his 3 Galacticos up front. Just hope we don't lose Isco to fund the Suarez move. Di Maria, Benz, Khedira, Morata sure, but not Isco...

It's most likely going to be Pochettino. Southy are looking at a mass-exodus of their top players. They will take a considerable step backward next year. De Boer would be a good fit, but he has won four consecutive titles at Ajax and is endeared in Holland. I don't see him wanting to leave to compete with the likes of Arsenal, City, United, Chelsea, and Liverpool.

Costa and Arda will both miss The Final on Saturday. Ouch! The odds will greatly be in Real's favor now.

As for our Summer departures and acquisitions, I think Benzema, Di Maria and Isco are gone. We'll likely sell/move all three in order to bring in Vidal and Suarez. Frankly, I don't mind Vidal over Pogba at this point but I rather we get both from Juventus and take Mandzukic instead of Suarez. Losing Isco will blow but he's wasting away on our bench. In addition, we're paying Illara too much. He needs to step up at Lisbon and show his worth or he could be sold too.

 

Yes...

I know Wenger have a hard on for Benzema and Cavani. I think 1 of these 2 will end up in Arsenal. It's just painful to watch Giroud. I will not be surprised if Wenger will try to get a combo of Di Maria/Benzema. He tried to get Di Maria/Ozil last year but it did not happen.

I thought the media here was reporting that Cavani was staying? Or am I getting him mixed up with someone else.

It's gotten to the stage where I don't care who comes in to replace Sherwood, as Spurs probably won't give him enough time to put his mark on things. When someone on here first mentioned Pulis for the job I immediately rubbished it thinking it's the wrong fit for him, although I'm warming to it.

Did anyone see the Osasuna vs areal Betis highlights? O_o

Doubt there is any way Real Madrid go after Mandzukic. He's just not a big enough signing. He's a guy who can't even stay in favor on a roster where he is essentially the only striker.

 

Oh I know it won't happen, it would just be my preference. Plenty of scoring punch up front as is if you add a supplemental 9. The Midfield needs some serious work though.

It's not even June. Cavani will be "going to" every club in the world before next season rolls around.

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      By frankw · Posted

      Even all the rookie QB's who haven't played a single snap ranked above him? I really hope Bryce is using all this as motivation in some capacity. Because if this doesn't motivate him I don't know what will.

      Of course. That’s what I said. Bad goalie play and the style of defense. Florida played amazing.  Rods decision to stick with a struggling Freddie cost us. Plus, Florida may be more talented than us and they play a very heavy game. Something we don’t do well minus Svech.  Glad the rangers lost.

      For Bryce Young and Dave Canales, the emphasis is on details

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      You should because before the preseason fiasco and the start of the season fiasco, all the reports, including Frank’s responses, were that Fitterer and Reich were in lock step. Remember the press conference where Fitterer talked about both he and Frank saying who they wanted before and after the draft process and that they both picked Young and it was glorious? People got hung up on Tepper saying the point guard analogy in April when Brown was interviewed by a Panthers reporter describing how a QB needs to be a point guard in huge detail. That was in February. I think Tepper was just parroting Brown to make himself look like he knew what he was doing. Mrs. Tepper hugging Bryce always overshadowed CJ saying how he called her Mama Tepp. We fuged up as a team, probably more so because Fitterer always said he had Young as his #1 the year before, probably because we looked at all the QBs that year as well. Reich’s love for CJ started when he got on the hot seats for frankly doing a horrific job. He's been in the league a long time and has a lot of media friends and that was a face saving CYA which we know well with many years of Hurney. Still amazing to think how much better the team was under Rhule/Hurney before Fitterer got any control when Rhule was on the hot seat.
