Spurs 2024-25

Nothing wrong with having back-up for Solanke while Lankshear is eased in. I agree there’s no reason to play Richie on a left wing where we seem rather over-stocked, especially with Yang coming in.

Agree with this - Solanke's game is based on relentless running, he can't be expected to do it for 96+ minutes on 50+ occasions. That means Richarlison is still very much needed, and he's a very good player in his own right. Similar enough style too, a pain in the arse for defenders.

Lankshear is close but not yet in terms of being a reliable member of the first team squad. Carefully selected minutes to get him up to speed, then maybe next year he's up the pecking order.

Vicario’s ankle is fractured. That has to mean Forster for quite a while, Alfie Whiteman as back-up presumably, unless we can do an emergency loan.

I know that Levy didn’t like the idea of building on a levelled Olympic Stadium, and in many ways it is lovely that NWHL is on the site of OWHL. I just wish that the ancient Indian burial ground wasn’t there, or that the foundations didn’t have to go deep enough to stir angry spirits.

Forster has been really good as a deputy, he's a more than competent premier league keeper for now.

Get well soon big Vic.
