    This is a fantastic signing by all accounts. Preventing Bayern from hijacking one of our signings is one thing, but hijacking a signing out from under BARCA of all clubs is truly an announcement to the world that something special is happening here. Still, I'm curious what methodology scouts...

    Dele Alli at Everton

    Poch started using Dele as more of a box to box midfielder than a second striker once Dembele left, and the injuries (and pills) didn't help much either.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Found an Australian to English dictionary giving this explanation for the term "falconed" falcon being hit in the face (more accurately the forehead) with a ball in a ball sport: Barry was "falconed" Contributor's comments: It originally referred to the Rugby League player Mario Fenech who...

    While his initial ban was from football entirely, it was later reduced to a ban from player/transfer negotiations. My guess is that Spurs are interpreting the term "negotiations" very narrowly to only include discussions about numbers, and that he can still extol the virtues of the THFC to...

    The idea that if we just stumped up the cash we would have locked this up ignores the other parties in the room who have every incentive to spend a few days seeing if someone else will stump up even more cash.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Richarlison

    At one point he went down with a twisted ankle without any contact. I had been wondering if his poor form is because he is carrying a knock that he is gutting out because we don't really have a backup strker, and that is being kept quiet so it doesn't become targeted. Now I'm wondering if its...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 26th August

    I am a PEH appreciator, but given the performance of Sarr and Skipp, and the eventual return of Bentacour, i don't mind selling him without buying a replacement

    We have had to rely on the individual brilliance of Harry and Sonny the last few years. So I think it will take time to get used to a more balanced, team approach where a good match from Sonny and Kane's replacment (i.e. Richarlison) may be more about their linkup play, movement, and other...

    I agree, though I'm sure it would have been derided by the rabble as insufficiently "ambitious"

    Harry Kane

    Surely any dispute between Harry and Tottenham regarding payments owed under the current contract (like loyalty payments) can be resolved at a later date. But if its about amounts owed under the prospective contract - like who pays the agent fees -- then I could see that being a hold up.

    Harry Kane

    I've always wondered what the contours of the "verbal agreement" were between Kane and Bayern that set this all in motion. Clearly there was some understanding. But was it as simple as "Yeah, no, obviously I'll play for you"? Or were there actual terms, like years, wages, and release clauses? I...

    Harry Kane

    Who: The Goat When: 5th August Where: SC The Goat hears that Bayern have ponied up and the ball is with team Kane now. Also, that all inclusive, the total fee for Kane will reach somewhere around the £110m mark

    Harry Kane

    Time to make a cheeky bid for Sane, so we can have a Sane-Kane-Dane front line.

    Edit: meant to quote the tweet that had the VdV numbers... Those are Euros, so more like £35-40m. Still, given that Man CIty just spunked twice that, £77.6m (€90m), on Gvardiol, I could see why they are looking to cash in on VdV and Tapsoba

    Harry Kane

    Where have you seen that Bayern is offering, and more importantly, Kane is willing to accept, a 5 year contract to play in the Bundesliga? This is why I've been sceptical of a move this summer - I doubt that Kane will want to be tied down to the kind of longterm deal that BM will insist upon if...

    Harry Kane

    Have there been any reports on hown many years Bayern is offering Kane? I imagine if they are going to spend over 100, they are going to want a longer term deal. But would Harry really want to commit to the Bundesliga for 4-5 years?
