Admittedly haven’t watched White as closely at Brighton, but honestly think if/when he moves to a big six club, he’ll be a shoo-in for the England XI and really obviously quality - he’s miles better than Mings, Godfrey, Dier and those other chumps on that questionable rung behind Stones & Maguire.

Only question at Leeds was his aerial ability. Put him next to a more commanding presence - Dias, Maguire, Van Dijk - i.e Cooper before, Dunk now, etc - and he’ll thrive.

Martinez to Spurs :grinning::grinning:

Even though on balance I’d probably take him, I hope Southgate commits to the funniest option of not taking Trent.

Surely levy doesn’t think this is good*

Starting to think he’s an arsenal fan on the long con

*scratch that - he might think it is good and martinez might have a different reputation behind the scenes, but surely levy doesn’t think this is popular?

I don’t know why Tuanzebe’s stock isn’t higher

I mean, I know in England terms; he hasn’t gotten games at United

but idk why he hasn’t gotten games at United

other United fans, am I being delusional? had he been ropey when I haven’t seen?

Actually, spurs are shite, he should go back to Swansea

#669

Not sure what realistic options Spurs really have?

#670

I’d rather have Howe than Martinez

#671

posted in the wrong thread before:

would be a weird appointment but would enjoy seeing Martinez at Spurs. has become a bit of an cheap figure of fun like Rodgers was a few years ago, so either he does well and i’m happy for him or he does badly and it’s entertaining, win win

When did Martinez leave the Belgian national team?

He could at least have let us know here:

he hasn’t, would be after the euros presumably

Think this is where his problem is for England atm. If it was Stones injured and we were looking for a partner for Maguire he’d be much higher up the list. But we need a big unit next to stones really

Thought you were referring to Emi and cried inside briefly

This is another stupid thing - presumably if you want to hire him, you’re expecting him and Belgium to do well, which means their euros won’t finish till mid July!

There’s the whole thing about judging a manager’s impact at a club by the calibre of their predecessor and successor. So like Poch took spurs from Sherwood to Mourinho. For Mourinho to be a bridge from Poch to Martinez is really damning

Could get a tune out of Chadli though

Would find it morbidly fascinating to see how he’d do at some of the big jobs he’s been linked with - even heard Barcelona mentioned.

Quite clever to go for the Belgium job really. Don’t think there’s any way at all that he’d have managed to work his way back up the ladder after how things panned out at Everton (same thing with Koeman and the Netherlands, I suppose?). Tournament football can do wonders for your reputation if you’ve got brilliant individuals to rely on.
