I need to know your prediction for todays game bebs!!! I think barca can do it, i’d say 4:2

¡visca barca!

i'm honestly nervous. i have some serious traumas from the ucl since the roma game and all those teams that did the 'remontada' on us, lmfao, so the nerves are kicking in. i'm not gonna give my prediction because i'm always AWFUL at that (i usually predict the winner but i can't really predict the score lol) but i'm gonna do some analysis for sure:

1. one of our cms needs to step up and be a dm since we don't have andreas (most likely fdj or gundo or both of them as double pivots while pedri will have the most attacking space probably).

2. i don't think that mbappe necessarily 'ghosted' last time i just think that our defenders did a good job. as much as i hate to admit it mbappe is a world class and our defenders need to step up again (i believe that they will). mbappe has a motive ngl, he got trolled on internet a lot and he probably wanna prove himself tonight, but trying to prove yourself can be a bad thing too (it can results to taking some unnecessary shots and moves just to prove yourself).

3. apart from mbappe, nuno mendes and barcola are the biggest threats AND add hakimi to all that, they wouldn't hesitate to play a really offensive football tonight. xavi made a great thing and did NOT put araujo on rb, just because mbappe is playing there. he realized that he can't have only one player marking him so putting jules on rb and ronald on rcb was the best thing he had done. in paris we didn't played high with our defense which is a good thing and we need to play like that tonight too.

4. BUT they have a big problem too and it's their defense. they have fast and dangerous wingers but i think our defense and midfield is way better. their defense is shit ngl and they make tons of mistakes. let's mention donnarumma too. they are awful at set pieces (corners especially) and we can an NEED to take advantage of that.

5. they are so good at pressing and that can be a problem for them too. one long pass from our defense or mats to the front and that's where their defenders collapse. also we need to press too because donnarumma is bad in that aspect too.

6. the best thing about last game is that we have the advantage. we're in the best situation among all the clubs that are in the qfs because only we won an away game. we have one goal advantage and we need to use that in our favor. we can't just defend the result tonight because if we score the goal first, there won't be any bigger problems for us if you ask me.

7. our players seem really happy and excited about this game and i think that's a good thing.

8. fans there, would help us a lot. more passion, more chants, more anything, we can't be quiet tonight, it's one of our most important games in years literally!!!

9. if xavi does everything tactically perfect tonight we would definitely win, and of course, if our players do their best!!!

10. also forgot to mention that we shouldn't really care about possession, because possession doesn't win you games, psg also plays that 'possession type of football' under lucho so we shouldn't really care about that! (i saw few fans on twitter roasting our players because of that but we literally won a game lol).

11. we can't lose concentration tonight because we saw what happened when we did in those 5 to 10 minutes. we controlled a game and they scored because we controlled it badly in the start of the second half.

long ass analysis, i know, but i had to write it out to make it clear for others that it's not gonna be that easy tonight. BUT i do believe that we can win this.

at the end of the day i stand with the boys always, no matter what happens, so:

Visca el Barça y Visca Catalunya, always! 💙❤️

Three Overseas Players Royal Challengers Bangalore can Target in the IPL Auction

Three Overseas Players Royal Challengers Bangalore can Target in the IPL Auction

Curious about which overseas players Royal Challengers Bangalore can target in the IPL Auction? Here are the names of three international players Royal Challengers Bangalore can target in the IPL Auction 2023.

There was no surprise or shock because RCB kept its core team. The only notable name listed in RCB's publication is Sherfane Rutherford. At the IPL Mini Auction on December 23, they will have the smallest purse. Before the IPL 2023 mini-auction, the Royal Challengers Bangalore only released a small number of players—one was traded and four others were released.

The fact that none of the five players released were a regular member of their playing XI last season when they finished fourth in the points table, and defeated Lucknow in the Eliminator before losing to Rajasthan in the Qualifier 2, failing one step from the final, gives you an idea of the strength of their surviving squad members and the management's clarity.

The three names of overseas players RCB can target in IPL Auction

1.  Jason Holder

For many years, RCB has lacked a true all-rounder who can affect games both with the bat and the ball. They won't be able to afford Ben Stokes and Cameron Green because they only have INR 8.75 cr left in their budget. 

Jason Holder, who excels in both skill sets, can be the target of RCB. The tall West Indian fast bowler bowls well at both the start and end of a game, giving up little under 8 runs per over. In 38 games, Holder has claimed 49 wickets. 

Holder is a competent batsman as well. They can also utilize the right-handed batter as a floater. The Caribbean player has made major contributions with the bat over the past two years, scoring runs at a strike rate of 135 in final overs. As LSG kept mixing it up with his batting position, he was unable to make a significant impact with the bat. He will without a doubt be a target for RCB going into the IPL 2023 auction.

2.  Joshua Little

Joshua Little's mind-blowing bowling performances have ignited the international bowling circuit. This calendar year, the 23-year-old has played in 26 T20Is and has 39 wickets at an economy of 7.58. He was quite exceptional at the just concluded T20 World Cup, taking 11 victims in seven games while maintaining an impeccable economy of 7.00.

Little is great at all stages of a T20 innings.. He is excellent at the tail end of the innings, deadly with the new ball and capable of filling in as an enforcer in the middle overs. Despite not having played in the IPL yet, he is in excellent shape and has a chance to succeed in the lucrative competition. As a result, a lot of franchises would be interested in investing in him, with Royal Challengers Bangalore being one of them.

There aren't many possibilities for death bowling in the RCB lineup. Additionally, the team's top death bowler, Harshal Patel, is having trouble finding his rhythm on the international stage. Therefore, Little may be a wonderful option if they needed quality reinforcements that could perform well during slog overs. Bangalore might then bid aggressively to secure the Irish pacer during the auction.

3.  Sam Curran

Death bowling has undoubtedly been a glaring area of weakness for the legendary Royal Challengers Bangalore throughout the years. In the death overs, they have relied on the assistance of Mohammed Siraj and Harshal Patel, which has produced a mixed bag of outcomes for them. Sam Curran will provide them with both a dependable death bowler and a useful lower-order batsman who is strong enough to win games. The English all-outstanding rounder's bowling performance earned him Player of the Tournament honors in the recently finished T20 World Cup 2022.

He has grown as a death bowler and has been equally effective with the bat, therefore RCB will undoubtedly try to hire him during the IPL 2023 auction.

Conclusion

Royal Challengers Bangalore is one of the few teams who has retained so many of their players. This team spirit with their players has led to a great increase in their reputation during the IPL 2023 Auction season. 

FAQs

Q1. How many times have Royal Challengers Banglore won the IPL?

Although they haven't won the IPL, the Royal Challengers have placed second three times between 2009 and 2016. With totals of 263/5 and 49, respectively, the squad owns the record for both the highest and lowest totals in IPL history.

Q2. Who is the owner of Royal Challengers Banglore?

The biggest alcohol producer in India, United Spirits Limited, is the owner of RCB (Royal Challengers Banglore). A division of the London-based Diageo is United Spirits. RCB was established by United Spirits, who also gave the franchise the moniker Royal Challengers.

Q3. What type of bowler is Joshua Little?

Holder, a Barbados-born right-arm medium-fast bowler, has developed as a captain and player on the move, displaying an ever-improving temperament and advancement in technical and tactical understanding. He is a capable batter who bats lower in the order.

okay, now I'm excited to see how the IPL auction works out in the Omegaverse! 😈

Do omegas have a higher base price than alphas? Or vice versa? Irl, players are allowed to choose a base price for themselves while signing up for the auction, but it's not the same for everyone, and generally, players who are regulars in their international squads, and have remarkable records, have a base price of 2 crores, while other, less famous players have a lower base price.

In Omegaverse, would it be feasible for omegas to completely belong to the franchise that bought them for the specific ipl duration? Like, during the IPL , VK belongs to RCB, and the RCB owner, management and team alphas control his movements. Oooh, if omegas belong to their franchise owners, during the IPL, then I can see it being a part of the omega's contract that if the team owner, any management alpha, or playing alpha wishes to sleep with the omega, then they have to comply with the alpha's wishes. This clause is rendered inapplicable if and only if the omega is already bonded. Thoughts? 🤔 It would make sense then that omegas command a higher base price than alphas, and are more prone to triggering bidding wars in the auction, because whichever team gets the omega gets to sleep with them too. So that's why Starcy, who's an omega gets bought for nearly 25 crores in the 2024 auction.

Also, irl there are stipulations about the retentions and releases of every IPL franchise, like you can retain only a certain number of foreign players, because you are only allowed eight overseas players in your squad, and four in the playing 11. So I can see this rule being extended to omegas, like you can pick a certain number of omegas in the squad or playing 11, and once a certain season is up, you can't retain all the omegas you bought at the auction, you can keep only one or two and release the remaining ones. Also, while irl, players are allowed to opt out of an IPL season even if they are retained by their franchise (player contracts generally run for one year, but the franchise can opt to extend them to 2 or 3 years), but in Omegaverse, I can see omegas specifically not being allowed to opt out of an IPL until their contracts end. They're allowed to do so only if they are injured.

It’s an interesting idea, but I have a similar thing where omegas are owned by their cricket boards if unbonded, so it would actually come down to the cricket boards to have their say on behalf of the omega.

Some IPL teams might do deals with international boards for access to their borrowed omegas but it’s likely they’ll be lots of clauses to protect from bonding/using omegas without those boards being highly financially reimbursed.

Probably likely that each omega gets a representative from their cricket board to travel with them.

Also on Starcy - he bonds in 2016, and although the CA bets are murky he’d be seen as bonded by the letter of the law, so would be treated as such in a franchise

Virat Kohli Continues With Blockbuster Performances In Big Tournaments, Encouraging Signs For India Ahead Of T20 WC

Following the conclusion of the Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), the biggest positive for the franchise and Team India is the form of batter Virat Kohli, who reinvented himself with a more attacking gameplay, especially against spin and once again delivered in a big tournament.

After 15 matches, Virat has ended his IPL campaign as the Orange Cap holder for the most runs in the season. He has scored 741 runs at an average of 61.75 and a strike rate of 154.69, with a century and five half-centuries. His best score is 113*.

What stands out is his strike rate of 154.69, his best-ever in an IPL season and the total of 38 sixes that he has hit, equalling his six-tally of 2016 IPL in which he had blasted 973 runs in 16 matches with four centuries and seven fifties at an average of 81.08 and a strike rate of over 152.

Heading into the ICC T20 World Cup, Virat is the most in-form player in the national side and him playing all games is a no brainer. In the 2023 season of the IPL, he scored 639 runs in 14 matches at an average of 53.25 and a strike rate of 139.82, with two centuries and six fifties. His best score was 101*.

Combining his statistics across both seasons, he has scored 1,380 runs in 29 innings at an average of 57.50 and a strike rate of 147.43, with three centuries and 11 fifties, best score of 113*. This makes him the most consistent batter across both the 2023 and 2024 seasons, which he has played after India's loss to England in the ICC T20 WC 2022 semifinal by ten wickets, after which, India moved on to youngsters. Virat was only recalled for the series against Afghanistan this year in January, where he scored 29 and 0 in two games.

Virat has also been magnificent for India across all big tournaments, ever since he returned from a break back in August 2022 during the Asia Cup. He had taken a break after months of poor, inconsistent returns with the bat and made an immediate impact in the Asia Cup, scoring 276 runs in five games at an average of 92.00, with a century, two fifties and best score of 122*, then his first century in three years. He ended as the second-highest run-getter in the season.

The 35-year-old took his brilliant form to ICC T20 World Cup 2022 in Australia, which he kickstarted with an incredible 82* in 53 balls against Pakistan at a jam-packed Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in a tough 160-run chase. He stood tall at the top of the batting charts with 296 runs in six games, average of 98.66 and a strike rate of over 136. Four half-centuries came out of his bat, but he still could not take his team to the title.

After some fine performances across bilateral cricket, Virat proved his undeniable mettle in T20 cricket with 639 runs in IPL 2023, ending as the fourth-highest run-getter even though his side could not make it to the playoffs.

As the focus shifted towards the ODI World Cup in India that year, Virat scored a century in the Asia Cup against Pakistan, ending the tournament with 129 runs in three games at an average of 64.50 and the trophy in his hands.

The Cricket World Cup in India saw Virat delivering an all-time great campaign, smashing records everyday match-day, including breaking his idol Sachin Tendulkar's record of most runs in a single World Cup and 49 ODI tons. In 11 matches, he scored an unbelievable 765 runs at an average of 95.63, with three centuries and six fifties. His best score was 117, but even then, the gold went to Australia in the final.

Now with a 741-run IPL, Virat has proved himself as a batter to watch out for in the T20 World Cup. Across these big tournaments, he has made 2,846 runs at an average of 71.15, with eight centuries and 23 fifties. His best score has been 122*, which came against Pakistan in the Asia Cup last year.

Since his comeback in Asia Cup 2022, he has scored 3,007 runs in 59 international matches at an average of 58.96, with 10 centuries and 17 fifties. His best score is 186. Including his IPL numbers, he has made 4,387 runs in 88 matches and 92 innings, at an average of 58.49, with 13 centuries and 28 fifties.

With T20 WC coming up, Virat's numbers across all the format look encouraging and all hopes are on him to deliver a title-winning campaign for India.

Sunil Gavaskar Predicts One-Sided RCB vs RR IPL Eliminator, Says This Team "Will Walk All Over"

In a high-stakes IPL 2024 Eliminator match today, Rajasthan Royals (RR) will face Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in Ahmedabad. The winner will advance to face SunRisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 on Friday, while the loser will be knocked out of the tournament. Despite being strong contenders a few weeks ago, the Rajasthan Royals now find themselves as underdogs, having lost four consecutive matches and having one game abandoned due to rain. In contrast, RCB has built significant momentum with six straight wins, making them a formidable opponent in the playoffs.

Rajasthan Royals, the 2008 IPL champions, have struggled recently, with weaknesses in both their batting and bowling becoming apparent. The absence of Jos Buttler has significantly weakened their batting lineup, putting additional pressure on Yashasvi Jaiswal (348 runs), skipper Sanju Samson (504), and Riyan Parag (531) to deliver a strong performance.

Former Indian cricket legend Sunil Gavaskar anticipates a potentially one-sided match. Speaking on Star Sports, Gavaskar praised RCB’s remarkable comeback, highlighting the leadership of Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli as crucial to their success.

“What RCB has done is nothing short of phenomenal. Firstly, to believe that they can bounce back requires something special. You have to say that their leading players, Faf du Plessis and Virat Kohli, have been key in encouraging the other players. Their extraordinary cricket has been crucial,” Gavaskar remarked.

Gavaskar expressed concerns about Rajasthan Royals’ recent form and lack of practice, drawing a parallel to Kolkata Knight Riders’ recent struggle after a long break. “Rajasthan has lost four-five matches and has not played their last game. They have been out of practice. Unless they do something special, like what KKR did yesterday despite not playing for 11 days, it could well turn out to be another one-sided game today. My fear is it will be another one-sided game where RCB will walk all over RR. I will be surprised if that does not happen,” he added.

Sunil Gavaskar Predicts RCB vs RR IPL Eliminator To Be One-sided, Says This Team "Will Walk All Over"

One team between Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bengaluru will get knocked out of the IPL 2024 on Wednesday. The two sides face off in the Eliminator in Ahmedabad. The winner will go on to face SunRisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 on Friday, while for the lose it will be the end of the road. If Rajasthan Royals are coming off four losses and a rained-off game, RCB have notched up six consecutive wins to sound a warning to their rivals that they mean business in the playoffs. RR, the 2008 IPL winners, suddenly find themselves as the underdogs, when a couple of weeks ago they were red-hot favourites.

When on song, Rajasthan Royals have shown they are unbeatable, but the last four games have exposed frailties in their batting and bowling. The exit of Jos Buttler has taken a lot of firepower out of their batting and a lot will depend on Yashasvi Jaiswal (348 runs), skipper Samson (504) and Riyan Parag (531) to halt the slide.

Former Indian cricket team batter Sunil Gavaskar said that it might be an one-sided contest.

"What RCB has done is nothing short of phenomenal. Firstly, to believe that they can bounce back. That requires something special. You have to say that their leading players Faf du Plessis, Virat KOhli, their senior players, they are the guys who are most encouraging the other players. Other team members can quickly get into a situation like , 'Oh we have lost everything'. Both of them have played extraordinary cricket," Sunil Gavaskar said on Star Sports.

"Rajasthan they have lost four-five matches. They have not played their last game as well. They have been out of practice. Unless they do something special that KKR did today, despite not playing for 11 days, it could well turn out be another one-sided game tomorrow. My fear is it will be another one sided game tomorrow, where the RCB will walk all over RR. I will be surprised if that does not happen."

IPL 2024 Scenarios: RCB vs. CSK for the Final Playoff Spot

The washout in Hyderabad has confirmed Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), Rajasthan Royals (RR), and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) as three of the four playoff teams. The focus now shifts to the last available playoff spot and the valuable second position on the points table. Here’s how the scenarios break down for the teams in contention:

Sunrisers Hyderabad

Played: 13, Points: 15, NRR: 0.406

Game Left: vs. PBKS (home)

The washout against Gujarat Titans secured SRH a playoff berth. However, they no longer control their destiny for a top-two finish. If SRH win their final match, they can reach 17 points but still be overtaken by RR, who can achieve 18 points. If SRH’s final match is also washed out, they’ll end with 16 points, which won’t be enough for second place if RR, having won eight games compared to SRH’s seven, also finish on 16 points.

Rajasthan Royals

Played: 13, Points: 16, NRR: 0.273

Game Left: vs. KKR (home)

RR will secure second place if they defeat KKR. If they lose, they could still retain second if SRH earns no more than one point from their final game, and CSK also earns no more than one point against RCB. If SRH’s final game is washed out, RR’s higher number of wins will give them the edge. However, RR could drop to fourth place if they lose to KKR, SRH wins against PBKS, and CSK beats RCB.

Royal Challengers Bangalore

Played: 13, Points: 12, NRR: 0.387

Game Left: vs. CSK (home)

RCB must win decisively against CSK to qualify. Assuming a score of 200, they need to win by 18 runs or chase down the target with about 11 balls to spare to surpass CSK on net run rate. A washout would end their playoff hopes, and a reduced game would still require them to achieve the same winning margin.

Chennai Super Kings

Played: 13, Points: 14, NRR: 0.528

Game Left: vs. RCB (away)

CSK needs just one point to qualify, so a washout would secure their playoff spot. A win could potentially move them up to second place if RR loses and SRH earns no more than one point from their final game.

The final playoff spot and the race for the top positions will hinge on these crucial matches, making the upcoming games must-watch events for cricket fans.

Keep, Loan, Sell: What Lies Ahead for The Current Spurs Squad

Newcomers and outgoers have helped develop the squad for Ange’s vision - so what’s next?

For a squad the size of Spurs, it was still unsurprising to see the team struggle through poor form when injuries and suspensions struck hard after the November home match against Chelsea. Despite being high-flying and unbeaten until that match, it was clear to any Spurs fan looking at what Postecoglou had that the team lacked squad depth to play the way the coach wanted. Although the coach could still put out a strong starting 11, the players on the bench - or even further - were still very much players from the past eras of defensive football under Mourinho and Conte. 

Despite some talented players coming in and remaining valuable to Postecoglou, there’s still a fair share of players whose time - for at least next season - might be best spent away from the team, either rebuilding their careers elsewhere or getting valuable game time.

This blog is by no means meant to slander or say that any players in the loan or sell section are bad; however, no player is over the club, and for new players to come in, current players will have to make their way out. For academy players, loans are a chance to get senior football under their belt in hopes of eventually making it into the first team. The list also has to consider homegrown rules, particularly ones concerning UEFA football, as it requires at least four players from the academy in the A team.

Keep

The Spurs captain has the most goal contributions this season.

Guglielmo Vicario: He has arguably been the best goalkeeper transfer in the Premier League this season, although a lack of clean sheets from Spurs’ high (and, at times, exploitable) defensive line has worsened the look of his debut season for the neutrals.

Fraser Forster: If his foot injury isn’t too bad, he remains a valuable number 2 or 3 for the squad, bringing experience to a young side.  He signed a contract extension until 2025 this season and has little resale value, but he should be staying regardless of his role next season.

Alfie Whiteman: With UEFA’s stingy rules and another homegrown goalkeeper likely leaving in the summer, Whiteman’s likely here to stay at least until his contract ends next summer. He’s currently 4th choice keeper, though.

Cristian Romero: The World Cup winner isn’t going anywhere, with him receiving vice-captaincy and massively reducing his card collection this season. He brings a lot of experience in an inexperienced backline.

Micky van de Ven: The speedy Dutchman has bailed the team out on multiple occasions this season and is vital when fit, but his hamstring injuries may be something to watch.

Radu Dragusin: A new January signing still adjusting to the Premier League, he was signed as depth in a position that desperately needed someone, and he’s done fine so far. It would be great to see him play at RCB more, as his passing range seems limited in LCB.

Ben Davies: He probably won’t be sold for a meaningful price, and his contract ends in 2025 anyway, so the best option for everyone is for him to stay. He covers depth in two positions, doesn’t complain and can work with the academy for his coaching badges - a win-win scenario for everyone.

Destiny Udogie: It’s only been his first season in the Premier League, yet he is already one of the best left-backs this season - maybe even the best.

Pedro Porro: He has completely changed his reputation for the better. He’s been amazing, and I hope he starts sharing more set pieces with Maddison.

Yves Bissouma: With his inconsistency, it’s unsure whether his long-term future remains here, but at his best, he is unplayable; he just needs to concentrate more, as losing the ball has resulted in goals - or at least very high-quality shots - on more than one occasion.

Rodrigo Bentancur: His best will have to wait until next season, but we’ll all be there! He showed a lot of promise between his ACL and his ankle injury but hasn’t reached those levels yet, and that’s okay.

Pape Matar Sarr: He has easily been our best and most consistent midfielder this season; his work-rate is truly impressive. He’s been an absolute joy to watch, too - it’s hard to believe he’s only 21 sometimes, but he must be among the top 10 most promising U21 players in the Premier League this season. The legs he brings to this team are borderline unbelievable.

Oliver Skipp: This is primarily due to the UEFA rules, as this choice wouldn’t benefit Spurs or Skipp in the long run. He’s our leading academy player and the closest to being a starter, even if he hasn’t been on the bench lately and hasn’t played in months. However, he seemed promising when on, trying his best in an unfamiliar eight role (as a traditional number 6) and putting the legs in. He also had some nice long balls. Ideally, he would get a loan for game time, but that’s not how football works.

James Maddison: Although he hasn’t hit his pre-injury levels this season, he’s a fantastic creator for us on his day. For whatever reason, he’s been dropping deeper lately when he used to operate as almost a 2nd striker at times before, which is severely limiting his attacking output in set pieces, which is a real shame because we don’t have any like-to-like replacement for him. Again, he should be sharing set-piece duties with Porro more often, and his injury record is another thing to keep an eye on.

Son Heungmin: An obvious choice as club captain and a legend at the club. Since he’s not getting any younger, he’ll likely be used more as a striker since his pace will likely decline, but his clinical finishing won’t. He’s not an Ange winger but an upgrade on Richarlison.

Richarlison: Some want to sell him, and some want to keep him. The club invested £60m or so in him, and he should be given the time to repay that through goals unless there’s a massive offer for him. He’s a different profile from Son, which the club needs.

Brennan Johnson: An impressive upturn of form after heavy criticism of his performances. He’s still young and has a very high ceiling. It’s easy to forget that players don’t choose their price tag, and it’s also the fans’ job to keep supporting and backing their players as long as it’s clear they’re putting effort behind the scenes.

Dejan Kulusevski: Despite his poor form in recent games, there’s no real reason to let him go, especially with his work-rate and versatility. While he’s far from an Ange winger, he has the work ethic, and it’s hard to see Spurs selling him - poor form happens with every player; he’s only 23, and patience is necessary.

Loan

Ashley Phillips has impressed on loan this season at Plymouth Argyle.

Ashley Phillips: This decision heavily depends on whether Spurs sign a senior centre-back in the summer. If so, Phillips would benefit from another senior loan, either in a better Championship team or a weaker Premier League team. If not, then Phillips’ development may come with the senior team.

Alfie Dorrington: Impressing with the U21 side, a senior loan would be the best for Dorrington’s development. With Dorrington and Phillips having bright futures ahead of them, Spurs may not have to look for long-term defensive options in the summer, depending on how both of their profiles mature or change with more senior football.

Alfie Devine: He’s impressed with his initial loan at Port Vale, helping the team get to the quarter-finals of the League Cup. His second loan at Argyle with Phillips has been slightly more disappointing. However, he appears to be playing in a somewhat different role than usual - he was recently sent off in his former England coach Ian Forster’s last game in charge of the team for a bad challenge. Given that this is only his first year on loan, another could be useful before he (hopefully) gets a chance on the first team.

Jamie Donley: Another youngster who’s impressed in the academy, becoming an assist machine, mainly shown in the team’s 6-0 win in the club stadium. He’s made a few late-game cameos in the first team during Spurs’ injury and suspension crisis - notable moments include winning an aerial duel against Haaland in that match and pulling Maupay’s shirt in that other match. He’s already one of our own just for that.

Lucas Bergvall: Perhaps this is a shout to the clouds, as many fans want to see him play in the first team as soon as his time in Sweden ends. That said, the Swedish league is another level from the Premier League, and he’s just turned 18. A loan within England would likely be the best option unless Postecoglou decides in pre-season that he’s ready.

Yago Santiago: He’s 20 and needs a loan unless he’s getting sold to another academy. However, academy watchers say he’s been highly promising and could be what Ange needs from his attackers.

Dane Scarlett: It would feel unfair not to give one more shot at a decent loan; he’s been unlucky this season with Ipswich’s unexpected promotion charge, and the team had no reason to play an inexperienced 20-year-old over any of the senior options. His performances for the England youth side also appear to be promising.

Will Lankshear: Much like Donley but switch assists for goals, the two have formed their little Harry-Son pair, with Donley providing the assists for Lankshear. He recently made his name known for his 11-minute hattrick at the Tottenham Stadium, making it the fastest. He said he plays like a traditional, old-school number 9, so should his development go well, the team could have a serious goalscorer on their hands.

Alejo Veliz: His current loan at Sevilla is faltering, despite being given the number 10 shirt and high praise from the coach (don’t forget the Sevilla admins on Twitter constantly Spurs-baiting fans). Rumours say that Spurs will send him out on loan again next season, with Bournemouth being one of the linked names. Though it won’t happen should Solanke remain, Bournemouth would be the perfect club for Veliz’s development if he gets sold.

Sell

Hojbjerg’s future at Spurs is over as long as Ange is at the helm.

Japhet Tanganga: Although his loan at Augsburg could only be described as disastrous, his current time at Millwall couldn’t be any more different as he’s a regular starter and recently scored his 1st and 2nd senior goals there. It’s always a shame when academy players don’t appear to have a future at the club, but it seems like his career will be spent away from Spurs.

Djed Spence: He’s currently on loan at Genoa as part of the Dragusin deal. He’s received praise but hasn’t regularly played 90 minutes, either. Given that Ange already had a good look at him in the pre-season and said, “Nope,” it seems like a sale is inevitable.

Sergio Reguilon: He’s been on so many loans and has struggled with fitness issues, although he’s a starter for Brentford with Henry injured for the season. He was OK for Manchester United early this season but isn’t technical or defensive enough to play as an inverted fullback. Another player that was also looked at in pre-season anyway.

Joe Rodon: With Rodon having a great season as a starter for Leeds as they continue their charge for automatic promotion, he’s the player with the highest value for Spurs, and the club will likely try to maximise profit. Although he’s not bad, he’s not at Spurs’ level but would do fine in any lower team in the Premier League. It would be great to see him continue with Leeds, but without a buy option, it seems unlikely that he’ll stay a second season there, especially if they fail to get promoted to the Premier League.

Emerson Royal: If Spurs will keep Ben Davies, then Royal is an easy shoo-in for this category. With Dragusin in and Royal needing to be more adept to play as an inverted fullback, his time under Ange is likely up, no matter how many (frankly fantastic) rap songs he writes or how many vibes he has. Rumours say Saudis are sniffing around, and Spurs should be looking to sign a better fullback anyway.

Tanguy Ndombele: This probably won’t happen, but his time in Galatasaray has been unsuccessful, and despite his heavy price tag, his work ethic is severely lacking. Regardless of the reasons, his future does not lie at the club, and his contract ends in 2025, so this summer would be the last chance for him to get a fee before he leaves for free.

Giovani Lo Celso: He’s a bit of a fan favourite, and it’s easy to tell why. However, his injury record is poor, and with Maddison not boasting a great one either, it would be in his best interests to cut someone off and bring someone more consistent. He’ll probably want more game time with how he performs internationally.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg: He was brought for a different style of play, which he did well at, but he no longer fits the new attacking play Ange has brought to the club, which is a shame because he’s clearly a good character and still puts in the work despite pushing for an exit last summer. He’s still an excellent player under the right coach, and although the period he was here wasn’t the most pleasant, fans can still be proud and thank him for his performances.

Bryan Gil: A player with the right profile for this team but isn’t built for the physicality of the Premier League. He’s very much a Laliga player and will probably go back there. It’s still slightly baffling why he didn’t choose to go on loan in January, especially when he hasn’t made it in the squad in months.

Troy Parrott: His loan at Excelsior has brought the attention of potential suitors. Again, it’s always a shame when academy players don’t work out for the senior team, but it’s for his career and the club's direction.

Release

Despite being 3rd choice goalkeeper ahead of Whiteman, Austin’s contract ends this summer.

Brandon Austin: Our only player whose contract ends this summer. Although he’s ahead of Whiteman in the pecking order, Spurs don’t seem to be preparing him for a contract extension anytime soon and at 25, he needs to kickstart his career away from his boyhood club - for whom he’s never made a senior appearance for (Whiteman has made one).

The Left Winger Conundrum

Timo Werner has made an impact during his loan at Spurs.

Manor Solomon: He injured his meniscus in training in October and got minor knee surgery, but hasn’t featured since September after suffering a few setbacks. His most notable feature was the two assists he provided in the Burnley away game for Son’s hattrick, but he didn’t make any real impact in his other appearances. Signed on free from Shakhtar due to the UEFA rules surrounding the Russia-Ukraine war, it would make sense for Spurs to sell him for a fee to free up space for a new left winger touted as “Son’s successor.” It doesn’t seem like Solomon has a long-term future in the team anyway, with Johnson and Werner having more significant impacts on the left wing. Hopefully, he recovers before the summer transfer window ends to help his market value. Of course, geopolitical situations elsewhere may also be playing a role…

Timo Werner: He’s currently on loan from Leipzig with a buy clause of around £15m. Although his finishing still leaves a bit to be desired, he’s pacey and surprisingly good at finding white shirts inside the box. He’s said he’s enjoying playing for Spurs and being in the environment has likely helped his confidence. He’s still not an Ange winger, but he’s the second-closest fit behind Johnson and is a slightly different profile from anyone else the team has. Should Spurs go into the market and purchase an excellent left winger for a respectable price, Werner can provide good cover, rotation, and experience without causing too much of a fuss. However, his wages and age are worth considering, as he’ll likely have to take a wage cut, and he’s closer to 30 than not. If Spurs can keep him and another good winger in around the £60m region, he is worth keeping beyond this season. But fate is more in Werner’s hands than it is in Spurs.

Ultimately, the fate of many players in all the sections depends on Spurs’ actions in the transfer market. Additionally, some of the academy players in the loan section may likely have to stay to satisfy the UEFA requirements should Spurs manage to qualify (which is, at this point of the season, seems unlikely that the team can’t quality for one of the three competitions available), even if it’s worse for their development unless Spurs chose to field a smaller team A squad.

Hopefully, Spurs will back the manager and get players in this summer, as there’s clearly a vision in the team that can be fulfilled next season.
