          Don't know why I care as a spurs fan, but I genuinely think arteta will do very well with a preseason behind him.

          Auba is befitting a more successful team. I remember him playing for Dortmund against us in Europa and he was fantastic.

            It's just going to take a few years to get it sorted. But he needs to be backed by everyone. Our fanbase wanted the greatest ever manager out in our history who got us CL every season and a few cups in his last seasons which were nice moments for sure, as well as beautiful football. Our fanbase probably deserve this.

            Auba is world class yes. I hope he stays and we get rid of Lacazette, Ozil and just give him the wage he wants. But unlikely.

              The expectations of so many fan bases are ludicrous.

              You need to get spine of team sorted with some experience , but I think guendouzi, martinelli, saka etc are very exciting talents.
