Ange Postecoglou on Spurs Being In Europe:”Excitiing Good to be a part of it and some good games. I’m sure I’ll get a warm reception at Ibrox, they’ll be looking for
”I said on a number of occasions where people were trying to steer me towards the fact less games means we’re fresher for the league and in some respects that works, but it doesn’t work when like us we have a lot of injuries and we’re putting in players who didn’t have a lot of football.”
”Whereas now, it allows with the fixtures to get into a rhythm of knowing we have two games a week pretty much until the end of January for the most part.”
”Players within the whole squad will get utilised so if we do have injuries we’re not throwing in someone who hasn’t played for six or seven weeks. It allows you to get into a rhythm and yeah it means less training time, but they’ve gone through a good training block leading into this international window that sets us up for the rest of the year. I much prefer having a programme like we have now than what we faced last year.”
”I think it will be an interesting concept [new Europa League format]. A couple of extra games, the league format. It is a different dynamic in the group stages where maybe after three games the whole thing was done and dusted where as I think it will be alive a lot more now right until probably the eighth game because teams are fighting for a position. I think there will be less dead-rubbers in European football, which I don’t think is a bad thing, so happy to see how it works.”
Tottenham Hotspur are expected to be one of the quietest clubs in the Premier League on transfer deadline day.

They have signed Dominic Solanke, Archie Gray, Lucas Bergvall, Wilson Odobert and Yang Min-hyuk, while the likes of Tanguy Ndombele, Japhet Tanganga, Oliver Skipp and Emerson Royal among others have all moved on.
Most of Tottenham’s transfer activity is done, but there are still a couple of players who could leave the club on deadline day.
Fabrizio Romano shares update on Tottenham’s
Giovani Lo Celso’s Tottenham future has been up in the air for a few months now.
The Argentine joined Tottenham in 2019, initially on loan that was made permanent in the following year in a total deal worth up to £55 million (Guardian).
The midfielder, on his day, is a joy to watch, but for one reason or another, he just hasn’t been able to deliver consistent performances at Tottenham.
