    Unfortunately, there aren't that many good strikers around at the moment. Vlahovic is an unknown quantity in the Premier League, but signing someone on the back of a World Cup usually means paying more than they're worth and I can't think of anyone who'd be a nailed-on certainty to be a success...

    More interesting question is, would De Zerbi be happy? Provided we bring a couple of youngsters into the first team squad and get to the bottom of our injury curse, it might be ok. It also depends on whether we keep one of Richarlison or Solanke, as I'm not sure Vlahovic would hit the ground...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    I've heard some very good things about Auxerre's Chinese owner, James Zhou (I think). Of course, it's a very small club, but he's done all the right things: let the people he hired work, never interfere with the sporting side, pay the checks to keep the club afloat. Unfortunately, he's...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    Credit where it's due: unlike some of our former managers, he restrained from trash talking the club as soon as he was out of the door. Still did a miserable job.

    J P van Hecke

    When you compare him to prime Ledley King, you realise how far he is from a world class defender. Ledley used to cover for his mistakes with his pace when he first broke into the team, but VdV will never have his strength and he's nowhere near his concentration and positioning level at the moment.

    Richarlison's numbers are quite decent. It's the injuries who should scare people off, but there might be a sucker out there who believes it's the club's fault and they could do better (and maybe they could).

    Not having a go at you, but I think this is one of these games where people only remember when they win. If I ask you to guess a number between 1 and 10 and you hit the mark one time in three, you're some kind of psychic. Still, it means you were wrong 66% of the time. There are so many factors...

    Unless you're Manbricky or Chelsea, you can't have 'differential' players in every position so, even in the best case scenario, we will have to make choices and pray that our best players don't get injured. Sometimes, it's worth buying a 'water-carrier' type of player if it means signing a...

    Marcos Senesi

    It looks like a good signing but Kerkez was also the bee's knees when Liverpool signed him and so far, he hasn't set the world alight there. Buying from clubs with an excellent scouting system (same with clubs with an excellent youth academy, by the way) can be tricky because, more often than...

    Thomas Frank - Former Head Coach

    I agree - he deserves way more stick than he'll ever get. I didn't like Postecoglou, but Frank doesn't belong in the same sentence. I'd add to your (imo, excellent) points that there are question marks over the technical part of his 'work' here. Tudor was said to be appalled at the fitness of...

    A bit harsh on Curbishley.

    The "DM" thread

    Not crying about missed opportunities is certainly a healthy mindset when you play for Spurs.

    :grin: Needless to say, I don't watch interviews of our former managers... I'll see if my curiosity gets the better of me, but I kind of remember it was a fairly long one.

    Roberto De Zerbi *OFFICIAL*

    To be fair, I think Postecoglou was happy to be here and he saw the club's potential. He wasn't happy to be sacked, but that's another story. Conte wasn't happy but I'd say that his meltdown shows he did believe in the club's potential but he was frustrated with the people he had to deal with.

    For someone who prided himself in taking responsibality for everything, he's quick to blame others for his failures. Wonder what he's got to say about his time at Forest...
