4th generation Spurs fan: my great grandad was Spurs, my grandad was Spurs, my dad is Spurs, I am Spurs.

Mostly Tottenham Hotspur stuff here, but also thoughts and experiments on improving the #UX of sports fandom on the #OpenSocialWeb (aka #fediverse)

🎶 I’m lovin’ Big Ange instead 🎶

Up the @spurs 🤍

Hrm. Unfortunately, posting directly from Mastodon only creates discussion threads on Lemmy. I thought putting the link of the first line would make it a video or link thread. Oh well.

What warms me a little to the prospect of him going is that, right from the start, people that know Ange’s style have always said he isn’t the perfect fit for Ange’s system.

But he’s proved he’s one of the most adaptable players in the #EPL, so I’m sure he could adapt again.

What concerns me is fans believing £100m for Kane is going to bring in another £100m worth of players. The trouble with this is we’ve already spent £100m this window.

I suspect the remains of that £150m “warchest” from last year will be used for the the CBs. That would be about £50m.

tl;dr

Richarlison suits Ange’s system better than Kane does and that’s why Spurs were more threatening in the second half against West Ham. Richarlison is not as good as Kane individually, but is better for the *system*.
