    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Good shout. I was speaking to my Fulham born father this morning and i specifically talked about this kid as his recent performances have been really good and he is now looking a proper PL forward. I reckon at the rate he's improving he'll be signing for a top 6/7 club in the next couple of...

    Tottenham want to sign Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer this summer

    I was all for this during the summer (pre VdV) although i couldn't see it happening given he reportedly wanted to leave Fulham to play more football (he was sharing the position with Diop and played something like 25 games last season). Having watched him closely since he returned from injury i...

    The Naming Rights Thread

    This is how i understood it as well - although the naming rights was obviously seen as a very lucrative thing to have, they've been slightly surprised to see that it's actually been very lucrative having the 'brand' recognition of Tottenham Hotspur associated with all the events, rather than a...

    The Naming Rights Thread

    Yep just seen that, assume as he's been put on gardening leave it's him leaving for another job rather than personal reasons ?

    Antonio Nusa

    Pretty sure Ally Gold said the price wasn't a problem for us and that the kid chose Brentford over us because it was felt Spurs (or another club of our size) might be too big a leap and stunt his development. I'm not saying who is right and who is wrong btw but obviously they are two very...

    Player Watch: Bryan Gil

    Boo. I don't know why, i just really like him and have an irrational desperation for him to succeed with us even though i can 100% see that he hasn't shown enough to warrant much game time. Some sort of sell on clause a must you'd hope !

    Match Threads Spurs vs Man City - FA Cup 4th Round

    Personally thought City looked right back to their best yesterday and think they will now go on their usual '2nd half of season' run and win the title. While we definitely didn't play quite as well as i think we could have done, i don't think we played at all badly in the context of City simply...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    If you're the sort of person that worries about things you have no control over, then i'd be far more concerned about his persistent cough than him leaving for Liverpool !

    Player Watch: Bryan Gil

    I know i'll be very much in the minority here but i'm quite pleased by this. I like his attitude on the pitch, always moving and wanting the ball. He's looked better the past few games (yeah, it's a low bar i know). If he's happy to be a squad player and will continue to show the same...

    Lloyd Kelly

    Glad someone else picked up on this point as i've seen it mentioned plenty of times. Massive difference playing as a left (or right back) in our system than in a traditional back 4 - my hunch is that he can't play there in our system and we will definitely be looking for a back up to Udogie in...

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    Hard to judge from a distance though, he may well be up to it by what he's doing in training and if he is then i'm sure Ange would play him if need be. The only thing i would say is that the way we play out from the back, especially when pressed hard like yesterday, it does take a lot of balls...

    The Deadline Day ITK Discussion Thread - 1st September

    I'm 99% sure it's fixed and at a fantastic low rate as well , over 25 or 27 years i believe ?? I am much less sure on this point, but i seem to think it worked out as us paying about £40m a year for the loan and interest

    Player Watch: Davinson Sanchez

    I can usually see the financial argument to most deals, but getting the money Gala would pay for Sanchez now is a pretty insignificant amount and an amount we'd likely get close to if we waited and sold him in January (when we could buy a replacement). I've always been fine with one of Dier or...

    Match Threads BURNLEY vs TOTTENHAM - MATCH DAY 4

    Looking forward to getting back to football, rather than worrying over whether we have cover for an injury to X player or whether we've got enough HG players in our 25 man squad - i remember the days you just watched the match, cheered your team on and then didn't really think about the team...
