    Managing Director Football: Fabio Paratici

    Agreed! As I believe others have noted (couldn't find post I'm thinking of, sorry), it makes sense to go back to competing at the top of the prospect bracket with the likes of Dortmund, Leipzig, Leceister, rather than playing second fiddle to the oligarchs trying to purchase at the top of the...

    Player Watch - Japhet Tanganga

    in what world is Doherty a better rotation option at RB--assuming we get Tomiyasu in--than Japhet? Hope we are rethinking the loan.

    Dele Alli at Everton

    I must admit I have not watched All or Nothing yet, but I have heard all the stuff about him not training well. Maybe true, and maybe he got complacent. Undoubtedly, this is a make or break moment for him at Spurs. But I think it's at least worth noting that Dele has overcome adversity in his...

    Played like KdB today! Yes please.

    Patson Daka

    This guy looks the absolute business. I am not a businessman and am admittedly perhaps overeager. However, trying to think rationally about this as best as I can, I honestly feel it makes sense to pay the premium on him, up to around 40 mil. Especially if we can do it in favorable installments...

    Matt Doherty @ Atletico Madrid

    Appreciate the insight! I think what we each said can be true. I saw a statistic that Doherty has more touches in the box than any other defender over the last two seasons. So, while he may not have the pace to beat a man one-on-one, he seems like a player who is willing to take the space he is...

    Matt Doherty @ Atletico Madrid

    I have nothing but respect for the way Serge has given his all for this club, especially in trying circumstances. I feel no need to belabor his very real flaws, though I don't think he has been the disaster some have made him out to be. Just chiming in to add one thing I like about this...

    Ex-Player Watch Player watch: Jan Vertonghen

    Sad to see him go and sad how anti-climactically his overall terrific time with Spurs seems to be coming to a close. At the very least, I hope he gets a proper tribute in front of fans when all this is over.

    I love this man, these comments fully redeem himself for everything he’s said in the past for me. Worth a click. https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/players/danny-rose-despite-what-said-16339682

    The Spurs Transfer Wishlist & Scouting Thread

    dont want to get in trouble for posting screengrabs I shouldn’t, but apparently Federico Chiesa liked a Spurs official Instagram post celebrating yesterday. Won’t pretend to know if that means anything, but he would be a fantastic addition methinks.

    The Spurs Transfer Wishlist & Scouting Thread

    Bring on the laughs, but I would pay a substantial chunk of our budget to go all out for dyabala. I realize it is unlikely no matter what, but I don’t think it is impossible given he seems to be available and perhaps Poch can work his Argentinian connection magic. To dare is to do! Edit: not...

    The Spurs Transfer Wishlist & Scouting Thread

    Same. Some of his long range passing, I don’t think anyone in our current side is capable of bar Toby. I can see why we are possibly interested now, especially if Toby leaves (obviously they play different positions but I mean replacing that trait which we will otherwise miss).

    Dele Alli - Player watch

    Really liked this article, which highlights dele’s development in some of the less talked about ways. Confirms what my eyes have been telling me...that Dele has been a machine defensively this season. How lucky we are...

    Wilfried Zaha

    This 100%. Also worth adding that last year we were so dependent on Kane and Eriksen, to the point that we really could not rest them. There were times last season where some of our top guys looked visibly knackered. I think we have to be proactive about resting guys at times for their long...

    Wilfried Zaha

    No one is saying we can or should spend what City spend. People are saying it makes sense to have plenty of options, and that in fact a wealth of options is a recipe for success, as shown by last year's deserving title winners (who, if we have the proper ambition, we should be making an effort...

    Wilfried Zaha

    Agreed 100%. I think Zaha has all the attributes to be our version of Mane (on his day, maybe even better). Both real live wires who frustrate at times with final ball/shot/decision, but overall add a lot to the team through pace, trickery, and fear-factor in defenders. I think his pace could be...

    Benjamin Pavard

    I am not going to lay out personal views on the game of someone I have not seen play, or for that matter only seen play a few international games out of position, because quite frankly (sorry not sorry to many in this thread) I do not find that helpful. Instead, I will out myself as someone who...

    Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

    This is probably controversial and I am expecting disagreement, but if some team was willing to overpay for Tripper on the back of a great WC (say roundabouts 30mil) I would strongly consider it if I were Levy. I like Trips and I think he is better at the current moment than Aurier--though I am...

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    Just wanted to pop in here and say I am very proud of our guy for rebounding strongly after a rough World Cup debut and putting together a solid performance today. We all know he is raw, but he has shown such composure for a 22 year old CB starting the caliber of matches he has. Looking...
