    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    But didn't the rumours say Poch wanted Toby out a long time ago? Stretching all the way back to the contract offer agreed and then reneged by Toby's representatives? I want Toby to stay and think he will be great under Mourinho. But I don't really get the fuzz about this. If there was a some...

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    Vertonghen, who has been of interest to Roma and Bayer Leverkusen, was also open to holding talks over an extension under previous manager Mauricio Pochettino - and he was told he was not for sale in the summer. ?

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    Still, he could be looking to players of a similar quality and seeing how much they are earning on free transfers. I'm just speculating, I have no idea what his priorities or the clubs are, but he's turning 31 this season so perhaps we wouldn't want to splash out on the longest contract? I...

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    Doesn't that sound a bit unlikely? He's been playing 4 years on a contract that is dwarfed by similar quality players at different clubs. I guess he's looking for his final big contract, a massive pay day? And wouldn't that be more likely as a free agent in the summer with sign on fee etc.? On...

    Club Statement 19 Nov 19 - Pochettino leaves

    Not sure whether this has been posted but a very interesting piece How Mourinho replaced Pochettino: Inside Tottenham's turbulent day https://www.espn.co.uk/football/tottenham-hotspur/story/3994589/how-mourinho-replaced-pochettino-inside-tottenhams-turbulent-day

    Player Watch: Erik Lamela

    Actually think it's a great fit. Mourinho seems to like this type of player. So I wouldn't be too worried about Coco's future - definitely think he'll play a role moving forward.

    Club Statement 19 Nov 19 - Pochettino leaves

    Can't see it happening under any circumstances. He rejected Real Madrid to stay another year at Hoffenheim before joining Leipzig. They have a real shot at winning the league this season. I'd say he's even more unlikely than Rodgers.

    The first one resulting from Foyth dribbling within his own area and giving the ball away.

    Team v Everton (A)

    They played together against Newcastle in a 4-2-3-1, but I think Moura is too ineffective in wide positions. Even the games he starts there, such as against Olympiacos, he has very little impact and is eventually moved to a central position.

    The Spurs Transfer Wishlist & Scouting Thread

    I'm not sure that's how it works, or should work at least. Players like Kovacic, Bernardo Silva, Mahrez, Keita etc. weren't signed as squad players, but they have all found themselves on the bench at times due other players performing. That's how it should be. We really shouldn't replace not...

    So do we have a buy-back clause?

    He is probably still tired from playing the diamond midfield against Bayern two weeks ago.

    Next Spurs Manager (No longer with groundbreaking 'Change vote' functionality)

    Appointing Mourinho would be an admission of defeat for Levy. He's spend the better part of his tenure here talking about "doing things differently" and not operating like the other big clubs, well appointing Mourinho would be exactly that. I'm not necessarily opposed to it but can't see it...

    Sanchez was on an early yellow so that's probably why.

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    Received a little knock after 20 minutes and looked a bit uncomfortable, but finished the half so he is probably fine. Weak opponent obviously but he did play well.

    I wonder whether Sander Berge is still an option, he is doing extremely well for Norway against Spain.

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    Which, to be fair, was followed up by Eriksen scoring 16 goals in the World Cup qualifiers and single-handedly dragging Denmark to the World Cup.

    Player watch: Christian Eriksen

    https://ekstrabladet.dk/sport/fodbold/landsholdsfodbold/eriksen-midt-i-krisen-min-svaereste-tid/7823347 Has been speaking to Danish media again. Says it's his most difficult time at the club, dismisses the idea that players looking to leave have influenced the performances and that we have been...

    Spurs Youth - 2019/20

    According to Danish media (well, and the photo in the article) we have agreed to a 'partnership' with Danish side Brøndby. The article doesn't mention anything specific but I suppose it's youth-related. https://www.bt.dk/superligaen/b.t.-afsloerer-broendby-i-samarbejde-med-tottenham
