Not so sure, the way Spurs played on Sunday looked fairly handicapped to me.

Think that is a pretty big coup for Spurs. Think he would walk into most starting XI's in Europe.

With Tottenham bringing in Bale and Reguilon, they’re only two CB’s, one midfielder and one backup striker away from having a fairly decent squad. Also reckon they missed Lo Celso on Sunday, think he’s a good little player

That is quite a lot to be short on! They "only" need another 6 players :D :D :D .

Was supposed to be irony :)

Any team who want to hit the Champions League who are starting Dier and Winks are in desperate measures. Not even sure Klopp could turn them into decent players

Winks is nothing more than a Championship midfielder imo. Dier doesn't know what he is, he gets shifted around the pitch each and every game so hasn't ever had a consistant run in one postion. He lacks a bit of discipline and is far too casual for my liking.

Anyone else think this is shaping up to be one of the most competitive Premier Leagues for a while? Any one of City, Liverpool, Chelsea, United and Leeds could potentially win it. Then you've got Spuds, Arsenal, Everton and Leicester who will all be hoping to nab a champ league place.

Having said that, Citeh will probs run a way with it, and the top four will be the same as last season.

Both remind me of George Evans a bit for us. Games seem to pass them by, always safe passes, no influence on a game and no particular strength which makes them stand out

I think Arsenal have a chance of winning it. Defensive shape and solidarity was a real issue under Wenger and Emery but it’s improved tenfold since Arteta has arrived

With Aubameyang up front you’ll always get goals and Willian is a decent addition considering his strong season last year. Pepe also has the potential to improve after a mediocre first one. Midfield could be their downfall but credit to him, Elneny has started the season well, including the Community Shield game

I've heard a lot about Arsenal going close recently, but assumed it was just their fans being a bit deluded. Would be great if there were 5 or 6 genuine challengers.

Yeah, other than the 18/19 season, seems to have been runaway leader each year for the past 5 or so years, best league in the world an all that etc

It certainly has the potential to be one of the most interesting title races in recent times.

Currently back training with Palace. Hopefully can get his career back on track, was class a few seasons ago. Still only 29 as well.

You'd think at 29 that he still has a good few years left in him yet and could surely do a job at lower end Prep/top end Champ?

EDIT - based on Pepe's post above, would be a good signing for a team like Palace.

We are going to see so much movement on deadline day this year, aren't we? Clubs have the luxury of seeing how they get on for a full month before the window closes so were wary of bringing players in. I think the clubs getting off to a bad start will panic buy/loan on deadline day this year. Sky Sports will be in their element.

maybe he has had a bunch of offers and is being choosy, or thinks waiting until nearer the window closing puts him in a good position. Just seems odd that someone who has clearly been PL quality in his career and is now in his prime years would leave a club and go nearly 3 months before moving to a new one
