    So many injuries this season across all the clubs, seems to be impacting the Top 7 quite badly.

    Apart from City of course who just have De Bruyne out and definitely aren’t taking PED’s to keep their injuries in check. Arsenal did it with ‘vitamin’ injections in the 90’s

          Yeah I’m wondering if teams will be avoiding American tours next summer especially after the euros. I think it’d be pretty cool to just do a local tour

      City just have an incredibly strong squad, they can sub anyone and lose very little quality.

          True, but every team would struggle without their most important player

        They also control their games and aren’t doing quite as many full field sprints to track back. Or, at the very least, that’s what I suspect the stats will back up.

      Everyone does that. It’s a multi-billion dollar industry where players can make generational wealth. Anyone who thinks PED usage isn’t rife at the top levels of every major sport is naive as hell.

      With city’s players often flying out to see the doctor Pep has been using since he was a player (pep got caught twice for drug cheating whilst working with this doctor)

      I don’t want to speak to soon, who knows maybe somehow we beat wolves and City still. But this season was never about winning the league and the fact that it’s even discussed still amazes and excited me. Before the season started I’m pretty sure most Spurs fans would be happy with coming 6th whilst playing nice football given that we were obviously working towards something. especially now that Kane has gone

        TBF, no season for you lot is about winning the league. Finishing fourth and maybe ‘putting the pressure on’ is what you’re about

          Well seeing as we’ve been in title races I’m not sure I agree with you. Nice try though you’d probably get a good rise out of one or two people on twitter where comments like that belong

    It sounds like the update is that he’s been left out of the England squad, meaning he’s for sure out a couple weeks. Not a lot of details beyond that.

      he’ll probably be back straight after the international break to absolutely rinse our high line with passes into Son

        Son could play on his own and still find a way to score against us, atleast that mouth breather is gone to terrorise those pretzel merchants.

      There are a lot of quality midfielders available. Son if you don’t have it yet, if you have two transfers and have Romero or Udogie you can go for Palmer (for the penalties alone he’s a good cheap pick) and Trippier for example, or if you have only Maddison, you can trade him for Bowen, Mitoma or one of the Arsenal lads. Since I had Romero and did a transfer already, provably will wait to see if he returns after the national team break (and hope he does not drop price twice).

      I picked palmer since he’s cheaper and a guaranteed started, and decided to buy better players with the money left.

        Look, I know Palmer is literally Chelsea’s best player right now, but with nkunku’s return who do you think is gonna lose his place? I think palmer is not as nailed as u might think

          I think Palmer is much more likely to move to one of the wings than the bench. Losing his creativity and intelligence would be disastrous when our strikers take 5 good chances to score a goal.

          Palmer at his current level is basically one of the first names on our team sheet, it’s far more likely that one of Enzo/Gallagher will drop to the bench to facilitate a 4-2-3-1
