    They are d'Onion Rings. Their run to the Champion's League Final masked a lack of wins in the latter months of the League and psychologically they were absolutely broken by losing that Final - it compounded their loser's mentality that was visible anyway the year Leicester won the League - even the year they lost to Juventus in Europe, Chiellini took a moment in post-match to reflect on the fact Juventus knew that Tottenham had a history of being mentally fragile.

    Diddums. They have a huge rebuilding job. Levy wanted Mourinho for years to "prove" that Tottenham have something about them and he finally gets him after his Star has faded.

    It's beautiful.

    Very pertinent now, huge summer window coming up but to get everything we need done it most likely take the next 2 transfer windows as well. A lot depends on when and in what state virgil and joe return. Will virgil play in the euros? Could see davies and kabak returning to their clubs if the other 2 are in good shape. I see no reason to keep origi, shaquiri, milner or ox but we wouldnt get much back.on.ox so i guess he stays. The rarely seen Keita is a favourite of JK, wiji is jumping ship and henderson is coming 31. Still no proven CF in the squad either.
    A lot depends on this run-in , fail to win CL or finish top 4 and we may just see Salah or Mane throw in a transfer request. Is bobby finished?? The flicks and cushioned passess for the other 2 are fewer and further between these days.

    Evolution is imminent to get straight back to the top

    Not a cheap trio, but not an extortionate one either.

    Strengthen 3 areas of the pitch, good age profile.
