The Tier system is basically crowdsourced on Reddit and is constantly in flux to account for the accuracy of different sources in different windows. It makes for a decent rule of thumb but is by no means dispositive of anything, can fail to take into account nuances, and has little to say about lesser known journos.

The Tier system is just another way to keep the Reddit hive mind going imo, people look down on any source lower than 2, but a lot of the time it’s the lower down sources that break news first. The Tier’s reliability varies from club to club tbh, and for us I wouldn’t pay it too much attention.
It’s funny, on reddit I’ve been downvoted to oblivion for defending ITKs a couple of times, most recently last night ?

Paul Brown has been reporting it, just remembered. I think he’s been pretty open about Ndombele, Clarke and Lo Celso as well.

At the end of the day he writes for the Daily Star and his article seemed like a copy of the AS article.

The Daily Star is almost as bad as the Express and Metro. I’d be very sceptical of believing anything read in it.

Exactly this, we would have a number of midfield players capable of playing the killer pass and opening up a tight defence. Yes Eriksen can do that, but as teams know he’s our main playmaker they can snuff him out of games. Having multiple creative players makes that very difficult.
Got to get them through the door though.

That’s why City are so lethal.... Silva x 2, Sterling and Aguero, even De Jesus when he plays... they’re all very quick footed and a nightmare to both mark and challenge. Doubling up on one player is do-able eg Eriksen but trying to neutralise 3-4 quick footed players is impossible hence why City score goals for fun. On the pitch offensively they’re superb but defensively they have frailties, these however are rarely exposed because they’re dominate 90% + of their games. This is what we should be aspiring to.

I can assure you our interest is real. Weather we end up getting him is another issue.

Ah, the good old days. Didn't he get his info from Gus Poyet?

Cheers Val. Really like the look of him and think it'd be great to have more technical players to call upon. If we get him and Lo Celso to replace Eriksen I think we've played it very well.

Alasdair Gold confirms we are interested.
At his very best Dier was fantastic problem is his level has dropped. He was perfect for the 4231 as he could slip into the back
I really do think we should be looking at an u21 attacker to compliment the squad and not affect the homegrown numbers

Bit more from an actual article:
https://www.football.london/tottenh...ws/ceballos-lo-celso-sessegnon-state-16550578
Then there is Real Madrid's Dani Ceballos. football.london understands there is serious interest from Spurs in the 22-year-old midfielder, who is also thought to be keen on a move to Spurs.
However, the complications in the deal arise from a belief in his homeland that the player only wants a loan move away for a year before seeing what his future holds in Madrid.
Tottenham are unlikely to sanction any loan move for him unless it contains an option for them to make the deal permanent next summer as Pochettino would not want to block other Spurs players' progress for a passer-by in the team who isn't in it for the long haul.
There is another theory in the midfield merry-go-round in that Betis are also keen on bringing Ceballos back to the club where he made his first strides as a professional player before leaving for Madrid.
With Tottenham looking at both their player Lo Celso and their reported target Ceballos it could provide for some interesting dialogue between the three club's hierarchies in the coming weeks.
