00:00
so james in terms of spurs and the sort of summer window the way it's uh turning out to look um you
00:08
know we've mentioned a few times the sort of positions on the pitch that thomas frank's going
00:12
to want to improve and and spurs fans want to see some maybe you know fresh faces fresh bit of life
00:17
injected into those positions uh the number six role particularly is quite a big one um in terms
00:23
of going into the new season and you know under and postakoglu those sort of rotating sixes or
00:28
sometimes two at a time you know so much football so much high energy football and back and forth
00:34
that they had to play under him and and it's sort of got the very best of them especially in the
00:38
premier league with that poor form last season um who would you like to see come into the number
00:42
six role is there any sort of links rumors that hopefully spurs are looking at in terms of
00:48
possibly coming to fruition and going into this new season with a new manager new era and you know
00:53
obviously back into the champions league as well so the demand is definitely going to be there for
00:58
spurs players coming in yeah 100 and it's certainly a position that spurs need to look to address in
01:04
the in the summer as we've spoken about previously you know we've got archie gray
01:07
uh thomas frank tried to sign at brentford ironically um who will be a candidate for that position but
01:13
obviously he's very young he's very raw still sort of playing his trade and learning that premier league
01:18
uh sort of role but um yeah three key candidates i think to be honest for the for that six role for
01:23
me anyway certainly that that's really stand out i mean the ideal scenario would be would be adam
01:29
wharton from crystal palace but obviously he's going to be taking big money i mean you know they're
01:32
talking 100 million potentially which is crazy money i mean he's a he's a heck of a talent um
01:38
he's taken the premier league by storm hasn't he but getting him out of crystal palace would be
01:42
very very difficult so i think then we're looking at the sort of more realistic
01:46
premier league proven uh experienced options if you like and that's definitely something that spurs
01:52
should be looking at around that experience uh quota this summer joe palina um former fulham
01:57
midfielder now at bayern munich not really played too much there but you know a real good ball winning
02:02
midfielder robust premier league player um certainly made a big difference in the premier league when he
02:07
was with fulham and um there's talk he might be available so you know in my opinion he'd be he'd be
02:12
an excellent addition to spurs really had some steel and some grit to that that holding role in front of
02:16
the back four and then you've got douglas louise you know a real curious case this one isn't it he was he was
02:21
very very good at aston villa went off to juventus um hasn't really played too much there's a lot of
02:27
talking may well be available um and interestingly juventus have been linked with these basuma as well
02:32
i mean that's uh there was a swap deal to be done uh that'd be a real perfect signing for spurs i think
02:38
douglas louise would be you know available reasonably priced even if it was a loan move with an option to
02:43
buy but again you know really does add a add a layer to that midfield and bolster that position so
02:49
yeah three three key players there in my opinion um let's see what gets done yeah you obviously
02:55
mentioned the experience quota that they need to go for this summer um how important is it they do get
03:01
some experienced heads through the door especially uh for that champions league campaign you know you
03:05
want players who yes are young you want to get the right balance of young and experienced players
03:11
throughout the side but you know it costs them massively going with with quite an inexperienced side
03:16
last season especially in the premier league but you know the champions league is a bit of a
03:20
different ball game you know you can't really go incredibly far with with a younger side it's been
03:25
very far few and far between that teams have done that maybe ajax obviously that spurs beat um those
03:31
those seasons ago that was a very young side um but you know in terms of an experience in the
03:37
champions league it's sort of invaluable um when you are going to to sort of rejoin the europeans elite
03:42
yeah really important we've spoken before haven't we about the need for spurs to get some experience
03:48
heads in um and and never more so than than for this season you know they've obviously all got
03:52
the european uh europa league win under the belt which will be you know invaluable in terms of that
03:58
experience and bringing on some of the emerging talents but you know the average age of the squad
04:02
now is so young you know you look through the spine of the team um there's only really some that's
04:06
over the age of 30 i think if i'm if i'm not mistaken uh one or two nudging towards that that bracket
04:12
obviously madison's getting towards 30 basuma uh benton care as well but you know in terms of
04:18
that experience quota we we really do need to bolster it and um dovetailing that with with you know the
04:23
likes of bergval um you know destiny adogi pedro porra mickey van der ven um you know some real
04:29
exciting talent talent matthias tell and wilson odebear etc you know some some really good upcoming talent
04:35
um but obviously that brings inconsistency and understandably so when they're all sort of learning
04:40
the craft so you know if we could get a spine of the team uh that has just that little bit more
04:45
experience you know it's going to be crucial for that champions league room we need some real
04:48
experience and i'll say you know the likes of japan near douglas louise could be really two good
04:53
additions and really make it make a huge difference and bring valuable international and european experience
04:59
as well
