    Right Forward Position: What is the Solution?

    Despite the great start to the season, it's hard not to notice the lack of production we've gotten alongside Kane and Son upfront. There's no shortage of proven talent for the right-wing forward position, but the attacking intent and productivity have been absent so far this season. Bergwijn...

    The Best Squad in Club History: How will Mourinho Handle Rotation?

    With the transfer window closing, and the squad largely set, it's worth taking a step back and analyzing what looks to be the 25-man roster that Mourinho will be overseeing for the foreseeable future. For the purpose of illustrating the sheer depth of talent in the squad, here is what I think...

    Thinking About the Finances of a Rebuild

    It seems likely at this stage that the club are going to finish on their lowest point total in over a decade. Calls for a complete revamp of the squad are ubiquitous among fans and even hinted at by the manager. With the recent news of the club now being the 8th largest in the world in revenue...

    Rate our Transfer Window and the Transfer Windows of our Rivals

    Now that the window is closed, and there has been record breaking spending around the Premiership, I'm curious how people feel about the business done by the top clubs. Who has strengthened significantly and who didn't do enough to maintain a title or top four challenge? Here are my personal...

    Anyone Else Concerned About Attacking Depth?

    We are facing what will be one of the more competitive league seasons in recent memory and also have to juggle Champions League football, which will be difficult and demand our best XI every time out in order to assure qualification for the knockout phase (it's very important to note that only...

    Revenue Growth in 2016-2017 With CL Football/Television Deal

    One of the underlying reasons why potentially qualifying for the Champions League group stages would be such a massive boon for the club next season is that the television deal for the Premier League and the total prize and television money for the Champions League are exponentially expanding...

    September 20th to October 22nd: A Critical Stretch of Matches

    I haven't seen too much discussion about this, but with the cup draws we have been afforded, we have an upcoming series of games, that in my opinion, may dictate the direction of our season. In case you weren't aware, here is what we are faced with after upcoming matches against Sunderland...

    Our Next 6 League Matches

    Coming into this season, I felt that it was critical for us to get off to a strong start. This league is as strong as ever, and a slow start can snowball into a collective loss of confidence with an inexperienced side. In particular, the matches against Stoke and Leicester are ones that I...

    Why Did We Not Purchase a Single Attacking Player in the Summer?

    One of the most baffling things to come out of the last summer transfer window was our activity (or inactivity) when it came to transfers involving attacking players. Let's quickly recap what we did: -We sold Gylfi Sigurdsson, who provided 5 league goals, which accounted for roughly 10% of our...

    When Will Sherwood Hold Our Wingers (Lennon, Townsend, Sigurdsson) Accountable?

    I've found it interesting to see the reaction of a segment of our supporters here to the loss against Chelsea last weekend. People seem to be blaming our recent poor play on issues like "character" and "passion," when, in my opinion, our biggest problem all season has been the inability of our...

    Sherwood's Handling of Eriksen in the Last Week

    This has been a predominant theme in the match thread, but I really feel this needs to be separated and discussed on its own. Christian Eriksen has been, outside of Adebayor, the most productive attacking footballer at our club in the past two months. He scored vital goals against West Brom...

    Soldado, Eriksen & Lamela Have Yet to Start 1 Game Together

    Towards the end of the transfer window, when it became apparent that we'd be signing two of Europe's most promising young players, many had envisioned a 4-3-3 led by Eriksen on the left (where he was fantastic for Ajax), Lamela on the right (where he was sensational for Roma) and Soldado in the...

    The Case for Michael Laudrup

    Let me forewarn you that this is a lengthy post, so if you don’t want to spend lots of time reading, feel free to move on to other topics in the forum. I’ve found the various debates here about our current managerial situation interesting. There are a lot of names that have popped up and been...

    Analyzing Our Net Spend Going Into Deadline Day

    In all of the discussion in the media about our spending spree over the course of the last few months, very little has actually been made of the fact that our incoming transfer fees have been completely covered by the sales of our players. It's a complete false equivalency to compare our...

    Should We Deficit Spend This Summer?

    It seems to be an argument we have semi-annually around here, but with our current squad and the greatness of Bale, it begs questioning: Are you in favor of the club taking a bit of risk this summer and spending more than they bring in from outgoing transfers? I'm not talking about a massive...

    Keisuke Honda Should Be Our #1 Target to Replace Modric

    I've been waiting for some time to make this post, but now, with Modric imminently leaving the club, and the transfer window near it's conclusion, I felt it was time to lay out why I believe the ideal replacement for us is a player no one is talking about. His name is Keisuke Honda, and he...

    Will Levy & Lewis Back the New Manager with Transfer Window Cash?

    There is no question that we are at a critical juncture in Tottenham's history at the moment. Daniel Levy has taken a bold risk by sacking Harry Redknapp, and we are heading into what is the most critical summer for us as a club in years. The wrong appointment made, coupled with a poor transfer...

    Even If Bayern Wins, Will Needing to Qualify Impact Summer Spending?

    There were plenty of reasons for Spurs fans to be hopeful of a third place finish today. Firstly, it would've eliminated the possibility of Chelsea crushing our hopes with a shocking result in Munich. Secondly, it would've allowed us to top Arsenal for the first time in a long while, which...

    A New Striker in January

    Let me begin this post by heralding Daniel Levy for completing what I thought was a longshot deal for Emmanuel Adebayor. It was a masterstroke that arguably has us as favorites to return to the Champions League next season. Adebayor has seamlessly fit into our side and our ability to go forward...

    Transfer Signings and Point Totals of Top 6 Since January

    A lot has been made in the aftermath of the second transfer window of 2011 and the implications it will have on the eventual top 4 league finishers this season. I thought it would be useful to take a quick look at the recent form of the consensus top 6 clubs in the EPL, as well as their transfer...
