..this allows for expecting some would move on, and/or play ST or RW.
I’d still say it’s overstocked almost as much as our 8s.
Even so, that we’d end up using a player there who featured last season at CB must mean some mad squad planning and/or injury issues

Since the summer window began, we have had (at different points)
Werner
Son
Solomon
Gil
Moore
Kolo Muani
Richarlison
Johnson
Odobert
Tel
I think this all - even if it is all, and albeit quality is very variable there that is a massive number of players..

Without claiming causation, I would agree they must be the same people.

If you’re writing anything that ties ”the pragmatism fallacy” and “football centrists” together, that would be my catnip, I think.

Also read that we’re now (something like) 20th in PL for through-balls attempted, which would suggest we have not been attempting to counter from the deep position we adopt.

Agree we have been getting the worst of all worlds.
I have fond memories of Brennan Johnson in games where we’ve been ahead. I’m picturing at City this year and also last under Ange where he came on to finish a break by Timo Werner (!)

Not to excuse this at all:
We are a big enough club, have good enough players and have spent enough money and we shouldn’t be satisfied with this.
But it feels like perhaps this speculative theory is backed up by your data?

..but also that we’d look turgid, slow and lacking in ideas in games where we conceded early or where a side, for whatever reason, chose to sit off us, as, thanks to player profiles, we will struggle to break sides down.

You know what, I was reminded yesterday of this.
Early on under Frank, I remember thinking that us being a really good countering side (at the time) and lacking ideas meant we were likely to be successful and look great in games where we scored first. City away was a great example..

In our squad at the start of the season we had so many LW.

My favourite post on Bluesky to include the words “technically“ and “virgins” but that’s about Spurs.

Agree absolutely.
I’d have wanted this before Gallagher - with Sarr as the right-sided B2B 8.
Hopefully it’s not Xavi to LW

With apologies for the late reply, and huge thanks for this really useful and very comprehensive list.
This is a huge help - and we have updated reading lists here. We also renewed You Are History over the weekend and continue to (re)enjoy ☺️
Thank you so much , Greg!

Thanks so much, Greg - that’s really kind!
They’re 6 and 9 and enjoying reading about history. I’m sure we’d all really appreciate your recommendations - thanks so much!

It was rembering your name from TEI that made me pick up the book.
We have all enjoyed it very much in its own right, for clarity.

Agree. I’d used “take” as shorthand here - it’s doing a lot of lifting in my post above.

He was also a good option for us (Spurs) at CB during the very worst of our injury crisis last season.
Could see him in a back 3 during the season and that’s a nice option for Tuchel during a tournament as well.
