    Player Watch - Arnaut Danjuma

    Ignoring the potential internal politics of the move - think this is one of the best transfers we've pulled off in ages. Loan with an option to buy is all upside for a 25 year old player who has looked very comfortable in the Champions League and in La Liga. These are the kinds of players I feel...

    Player Watch - Arnaut Danjuma

    To be fair he does profile as a Conte player: Tall versatile winger, loves taking on a man 1v1 off the dribble. Was one of the best attackers in La Liga last season. Unfortunately Son in his age 30 season has consistently been one of our worst performing players. Don't think it is crazy to make...

    Player Watch - Arnaut Danjuma

    A little hype for the man, here is a rather glowing scouting report from last January: https://totalfootballanalysis.com/article/arnaut-danjuma-2021-22-scout-report-tactical-analysis-tactics

    The Final Day - Transfer Discussion Thread

    Regardless of the frustrations of the past 3 years, if you didn't have an emotional connection to Dele then you're ice cold. His personality and flair felt like defining parts of the best Tottenham team I have ever seen and he scored in so many huge games for us.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Dejan Kulusevski

    Seems like such a Conte player. At 19 on Parma he finished with 10 goals and 9 assists, and ranked 2nd in kilometers covered. He also had a very good age 20 season at Juve. He's now only 21, has shown top end work rate, consistent end product, and willingness and ability to press successfully...

    Luis Diaz signs for Liverpool

    Is the fact that we submitted a concrete bid reason for optimism? Seems like we are always in talks but we don't bid unless we feel confident. I could be way off though

    Step 4 was awesome!

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    Tanguy Ndombele Cycle: - Starts season unfit, poor mentality, out of manager's plans - We can't sell him <--- [You are currently here] - Impresses in substitute appearances for our midfield who is struggling to break through press and progress the ball as he builds up fitness and confidence -...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 26th August 2021

    It is suboptimal to have 3 strikers in the squad, 2 of whom both have to play in our best 11 and 1 of whom is 17. It should be a priority to make sure we have cover. As the squad is structured, our season would likely be derailed by Kane and/or Son missing 5-10 games. I understand the opinion...

    Not even considering how it is a poor decision for the club, not signing an additional striker sets up Dane to fail. He should be playing 30+ matches this season to mature into a professional, develop as a footballer and for us to learn whether he is good enough to be involved in 22/23. The...

    Winks has been completely emblematic of our on pitch troubles the past few years and I get more frustrated watching him than any other player, but he has made me feel guilty for all of the stick I've given him. He's truly loyal and has the mentality you pray for from an academy product come...

    Khvicha Kvaratskhelia

    I'm not sure the context or date of this Khvicha game footage on this video recently uploaded but it is pretty astonishing. Russian league yes, but Khvicha straight up embarrasses professional footballers 20+ times in this game including an amazing rabona cross. Hope Paratici sees this kid is...

    Player Watch - Steven Bergwijn signs for Ajax

    I think Nuno is dead right focusing on improving our Wingers and unfortunately I don't see Bergwijn within shouting distance of ever being Champions league caliber and wouldn't make the bench for any of our competitors for a CL spot. The sad truth is he has limited end product and worse he...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 7th October 2020

    Projecting a player's mindset years down the road let alone weeks is really difficult, just look at the Tanguy meltdown in the beginning of the window or Son's difficult first season vs today. Really glad to hear Reguilon is happy and fitting in though. It seems from former players like VDV...
