I second that emotion.
Not wanting to get ahead of the race for the final two Champions league places.
But we’ve got a lot of transfer work to do in the coming off season, to make sure we can sustain the momentum of the last couple of seasons.Eriksen is probably leaving, as is Toby, and llorente, need to move out janssen, n’koudou, Wanyama, if he doesn’t come back to some sort of form and reliability.
So need an attacking/passing/creative midfielder, a holding midfielder, central defender, back up/rotation striker and another pacy winger/attacking mid. Probably need a box to box midfielder as well. And if one of aurier/Trippier goes a right full back on top of that.Lot of transfer action and lots of money to get some of the players we’ve been linked to. We could be helped by chelsea’s upcoming transfer ban, and the fact Man City could be in the same boat if the der spiegel revelations are acted on. Could leave the field open for us to swoop on some coveted youngsters.
But pochettino and levy need to pull the trigger. And us getting this close to champions league glory, but breaking down in the league despite not buying anyone for two transfer windows, could be the impetus.
But what do I know I thought last season levy would pull the transfer trigger and all we got was him playing chicken with villa for grealish.

luckily for you Villa won that particular game of chicken. Grealish , like so many championship players , will be out of hid depth in the elite world of title chasing teams and champions league knockout round wannabees. People were talking about Grealish years ago and ever since that day Villa got humiliated in the Cup final we havent heard a whisper until the last two months.
You dodged a bullet
City without Fernandinho are downright flimsy.
Every game in the recent trilogy could have gone either way really. I hope Spurs are allowed to kick on next year and make it a three-way title race.
