Match Day Thread Tottenham Hotspur Pre-season Thread

The players are coming back to training and the fixtures appear to have been finalised.
There are only four, which doesn't seem like a lot for such a weird season.
First up are two matches in South Korea, then a trip to Scotland, followed by one to the holy land.

Wednesday 13th July 12pm: K-League Select XI at the Seoul World Cup Stadium.
Saturday 16th July 12pm: Sevilla at the Suwon World Cup Stadium.
Saturday 23rd July 3pm: Rangers at Ibrox.
Saturday 30th July 7.15pm: Roma a the Sammy Ofer Stadium in Haifa, Isreal.

Some of the team have returned and it appears that they're doing their MOTs:

 

Son will be linking up with the squad when they arrive in Seoul

There are two reasons why that has to be said, thanks to some ****head rapist

 

Won't bother embedding it as Spurs block it from being shown but first day of pre-season in the link:

Giovani Lo Celso
Harry Winks
Ivan Perisic

Matt Doherty
Oliver Skipp

More pre-season footage:

 

Someone ****ed up. There was a whole second of Ndombele in that footage!
Lo Celso was featured a fair bit, in contrast. Pape Matar Sarr was in it quite a lot, too.

I wonder if Kallum Cesay will have any involvement, as he's also there?
Played more games for his country than his club, as it stands.

 

Dan Kilpatrick suggests that certain players who Conte has no time for won't even be boarding the plane to Korea

Time to go through the training galleries again...

 

I think it was more opinion than knowledge but Dan KP reckons that Sarr and Gil will have a chance to impress in pre-season and will make the flight to Korea but Lo Celso and Ndombele aren't part of his plans.

 

Jamie Donley is training with the first team, as per the OS's training gallery

Presumably he'll be taking Dane Scarlett's spot in the travelling squad

 

Skipp and Romero are changing their numbers ahead of the new season.

Skipp taking 4.
Romero taking 17.

 

He's already looking fitter

 

Screwing those who ordered Romero kits early.
He had that number at each of his previous clubs. Must mean something to him.
Big fan of Sissoko, probably...

 

Winks, Lo Celso, Ndombele and Reguilon all left behind. Rodon’s ill, rumours of Lenglet not getting a visa in time is true which is a shame. Think its harsh on Reguilon, he’s been the better of our two LWBs but it’s pretty evident now if it wasn’t already that Conte has no plans for him.

Absentees
Joe Rodon (illness)
Clement Lenglet (lacks documentation)
Dane Scarlett (time off after U19 Euros)
Alfie Devine (time off after U19 Euros)
Sergio Reguillon (mealy-mouthed reasons)
Giovani Lo Celso (mealy-mouthed reasons)
Harry Winks (mealy-mouthed reasons)
Tanguy Ndombele (mealy-mouthed reasons)

 

Gil looks like the younger brother that has no friends but tries tagging along with his older brother and his mates

 

I can see a synergy with this and Davos' big brother instincts where it doesn't matter where on the pitch somebody clatters one of our players, he somehow manages to be the first on the scene to protect his teammate

...yes, I got Darkest Dungeon 2 in the Steam Summer Sale, how did you guess?

 

When I saw Gil first thoughts it was Jay from the inbetweeners

 

Think Reguilón has remained pretty static development wise whereas Doherty, Davies and Royal have all improved.
I also wonder about whether Reguilon's attitude is spot on. Conte is extremely demanding in that area.

 

I thought he was John Lennon in a very bad Beatles tribute act...
