    Anyone else losing interest in going to football?

    Thanks for this, cracking film. There's a danger of nostalgia painting a rosy picture of football grounds years ago, they were filthy and dangerous as Valley Parade, Hillsborough and others showed. Some great days though, a million miles from the snooker table pitches and corporate world of...

    Player watch: Josh Onomah

    Amazes me the way fans talk about young players like Edwards and Onomah as if they've been poorly treated. Its very simple, youth players with potential are given the opportunity to train with the senior squad to see if they can hack it with seasoned internationals, the vast majority can't cope...

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    Well obviously I hope you're right but the big clubs are in for the best players and he's discovered they don't want him, as you say in his prime. There's a tendency for fans to over-rate their own players, Eriksen is good but a fair way off the elite.

    Player Watch : Vincent Janssen

    There's no secrets in football mate, all players find their level. So many players make a step up, can't hack it and essentially give up, his career has ground to a halt and it seems he's happy to stay and take the money.

    Its clear to me the bloke has a bad attitude, we can't give him away

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    I'll reserve judgement for a while, we've all applied for jobs we really want only to be turned down and getting motivated at your existing job is tough. The fact he divides opinion on here says everything, nobody ever doubted our real top players such as Bale, Modric and Berbatov

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    He hasn't been quiet though has he? We all know he wants to go to Madrid. And yes I accept it, I'm not sure his team mates and more importantly Poch will see it that way. Tell you what mate, if he stays and jumps out of a tackle against Villa you'll hear the fans reaction.

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    Regardless of whether he stays or goes Eriksen has played this very badly, its clear that Madrid are meh about him and if he stays he has a massive point to prove to the fans but more importantly his team mates and the coaching staff. We're going to have far more competition for places and I'm...

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    So you disagree with my point?

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    Maguire has a sell on value and 7 or 8 years left, completely different situation. My point is that Toby (and Eriksen) have over estimated their worth and appeal, as usual Levy has played this well.

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    Toby is finding out that as a 31 year old demanding big wages his options are limited, Roma finished 6th in Serie A and it seems there's not much interest (there could be of course). The club are handling this very well, sending out a message that we won't get bullied or blackmailed and that...

    Great news, a model pro who must be a delight for the coaching staff.

    Harry Winks - Leicester City

    Really pleased for us but especially for Winksy, I'm convinced he can become one of the best midfielders in the league if he stays fit.

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    Only my view but it seems Toby has painted himself into a corner, he expected a few offers from the top clubs but has realised there's little interest in a 30 year old for £25m. I expect, like Erksen, he'll hang around for 12 months and go on a free.

    Player Watch: Juan Foyth

    Like a lot of the Argentinians he's clearly a tough lad and very good on the ball, its easy to see why he gets in ahead of KWP who doesn't have the same physical presence. But players go past him too easily, we've already seen he's a disaster waiting to happen, reminds me of Stones who has...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    I can't remember the last time Spurs fans were so excited about a signing, I'd suggest a lowering of expectations for a 22 year old moving to a new league and country. Some on here are talking like we're signing a combo of Hoddle and Mackay. I've never seen him play so can't comment but let's...

    Manchester United sign Aaron Wan-Bissaka

    Crazy money. He's older yet not as good as Alexander Arnold which values AA at around £100m. He may turn out to be a star but we can't be chucking silly money around and keeping our fingers crossed.

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    One or two of us on here were saying months ago that Madrid wouldn't buy him, for me he's sulking. Poch values commitment over anything else and it seems Eriksen has pained himself into a corner. No idea what happens next but I'd guess a half-hearted season and a free transfer next season which...

    In which case you're a far better judge than every scout, agent and manager in the business.
