And, we’re off.......2018/2019

[fundy]

so it seems Arsenal have now told Ramsey why hes not getting a contract and that he can leave for free in the summer

seriously, for a football club run as a business why do they want to keep destroying asset value! so they turned down 50m for him in the summer, havent signed him to a new contract, are getting the bare minimum out of him for the season then giving him away at the end of the season. id love to know the rational reason behind this (especially as its not the first time theyve destroyed asset value these last few seasons, and they cant just blame Wenger this time!)

The only new ground that is better than their old ground is Sunderland's....so i really can't see why everyone assumes the new Lane will be the greatest thing since sliced bread.

The transport links are still going to be a mare, the area is cack and of course it will take a couple of seasons to iron out all the problems.

Suppose it sums Spurs up...they always think they are going to be the next great thing

Take it you never went to Maine rd, 😖 Nearest thing I can remember to Maine Rd is Anfield.

On what basis are you comparing it?

Financial - could be a game changer for Spurs income.

Structurally - cant comment, but wont have any obstructed views, doesnt have a running track and looks "tight" and is a ground built for football (both types).

Atmosphere - To be fair to Spurs they make a racket when on form at WHL, and with that single tier think it will be one of the top 3 premiership atmospheres, overall.

Infrastructure - cant comment, but most 60k grounds have problems getting everyone in and out, unless they are out in the sticks and then they are normally soulless and no proper old fashioned boozers. Great if you want to go to B&Q, toys R Us ans M and S on the way home.

I loved the old stadiums in lots of ways, but if your going to build a new one, think Spurs have got a lot right.

What exactly would you want?

I went once in the 80s, I though it was a brilliant football ground. 👍

TBH I drive past it a couple of times a week. Looks amazing 🤮

I’ll stand by the comment the area is terrible though and the transport is hopeless.

I cant argue with either of them sentiments.

I still remember the walk from the coaches years ago.

100 million has been spent on transport links so that should should make a differance, and the new ground is going to be one of the best in Europe designed with fans closer to the pitch than any other ground , might make some hammers fans happy to get close to the action as opposed to being stuck behind a running track.

The transport links are useless regardless how much moneys been thrown at them. At Stratford you have mainline, jubilee, central , DLR. London overground.
Hackney station not too far a walk either .. still struggles with the crowds

WHL you have 2 stations you can walk too. London overground services only .. which aren’t that frequent.

Add to that almost doubling the amount of people there. It’s going to be mental.

Arsenal struggle with their crowds and they have 2 underground stations nearby with more frequent services. Spurs are going to be very busy

Aside from Ramsey, it has gone very quiet on Welbeck. Could have got 50m for Ramsey, and 25m ish for Welbz. That is a lot of cash to walk away from.

I think that's been our biggest flaw in recent years, simply not negotiating contracts effectively or moving players on to get the money in if we're not renewing.

Personally not worried about Ramsey leaving, he is a good player and done a lot for us, but with the change in how we play now I think it's good to freshen up our midfield and with how Xhakahas improved with Torreira beside him I don't see where Ramsey fits ad a starter week in week out.

Flip side of like see Wellbeck stay, love what he brings to the team from the bench and as an alternative starting option.

Dunno, the last year or two the Hammers fans have got very close to the action, most times when the game is still on.

Ramsey ten times the player Xhaka will ever be, horrible mismanagement of one of the main assets yet again, seems one things not changed despite Wenger leaving. cant wait to see him come back for Liverpool or Chelsea and run riot against us

Another night and Fulham well on the way to another defeat

Am watching it Homef and City could and should be 3-0 up but Fulham when they have it play good football. Would love Sessengon at City as a left back.

Sounds like DIaz is doing himself some big favours with those goals

Can see problems ahead for City, how do you keep Foden and Diaz happy, I honestly don't know. De Bryune went off with an injury. Just hope it's precautionary.

Would there be a benefit in sending them out on loan for a year or two? Somewhere like Dortmund might work out well as they'd likely get playing time and hopefully continue their progression.

Deffo think there would. 👍

Both definitely have the potential to be future City regulars but they could easily not achieve that by not getting the opportunities they need. If City can work out a way to make sure those two progress to become regular first team players it could easily save them £150 million in future transfer fees.

Didn’t see your comment on the Kamara dive on Saturday bro?

Which is a surprise considering how quickly you slammed Mane
