Tottenham are the perennial underachievers but only 2 weeks ago they were at the summit of the Premier league and pundits and rivals alike were saying they were favourites for the Premiership title. But in this topsy-turvy season, a team on top one week can find themselves sliding down to 5th the next and 7 points adrift of 1st place.

Who happens to be Manchester United currently, to everyone’s surprise. Let’s see what’s going on with the producer of this epic, the ‘Special One’ and his all-star cast. We feel like we know the cast intimately after the Amazon series All or Nothing: Tottenham Hotspur ran and we got a fly on the wall glimpse into the set of Tottenham Hotspurs.

Dele Ali is a lazy a#r$e, Eric Dier can bat, Joe Hart can’t bat and Son Heung Min is more passionate than belies his featureless face.

Transfer News

The lazy one is getting shipped out, or getting snatched by his former gaffer Mauricio Pochettino, depending on how you rate Dele. It makes sense for him to try to rekindle the kind of sparkling form that shot him to stardom and England duty under Pochettino at PSG and PSG although are not lacking in creativity and forward-thinking players they do need a bit of bite and English steel.

His exit would free up his 100k-a-week wages and allow Tottenham to re-invest. For the player, it would give him the opportunity for more playing time, something he is not getting under Mourinho apart from cup and Europa league games. Crucial if he is to play himself back into Gareth Southgate’s plans for England in the Summer European Championships. For a more in-depth look into the potential transfer see Skysports.

Keeping Up With Tottenham’s Opponents

At the moment the Tottenham team has a lot to think about with European endeavour not far away, players being shipped off for internationals despite the pandemic, and adding to the busy schedule is the FA cup. Whether the squad has enough depth to get through these testing times remains to be seen.

Keeping an eye on football news to see how the closest competition are coping with lack of transfer budgets and whether Tottenham will be able to ride the storm if more injuries are sustained will give us more of an idea of whether the club can challenge for the title or at the very least a Champions League spot. 101greatgoals.com sports news right now could go either way. These are unpredictable times and it is hard to know who will drop in form and who will come out on top as we have seen with Man City and Liverpool’s form shifting from month-to-month.

Bale’s Worrying Form

Another lazy one but still strangely captivating is Gareth Bale, who since coming back to Spurs on a season loan has made only 12 appearances, only 8 of those were starts and in 8 games he was substituted off.

His fans have said he’s had injuries and not the run of games to prove himself, but sadly a more realistic assessment is that the Tottenham hierarchy were guilty of the same thing many fans were, that nostalgia about his fantastic first stint at spurs blinded them to how unfit, injury-prone and slow his game has become after 7 years in the much less frantic and fast-paced La Liga.

His return for the 623 minutes of game-time so far this season has been 3 goals (only 1 in the Premiership) but most damning of all; zero assists. Mourinho continues to back Bale publicly but some at the club say he’s already made up his mind that a season loan is long enough and he’ll be sending Bale back.

Next Up for Tottenham

The 4th Round of the FA cup is next for Tottenham against Wycombe before a big game with Klopp’s Liverpool on the 29th January. The game against Liverpool will show us if Spurs are truly title contenders or not.
