I think it is harder to make that leap as a homegrown player sometimes, not least as you won't get the minutes. We need to give players a go then move them on. What I would say is that we are an elite club globally. Our players get the best of everything but in return can expect high levels of competition for first team playing time, with highly paid internationals in the squad and have high quality younger players brought in.

Rumours we have agreed terms with Dumbo, some 18year Belgium from Ajax. Facebook link,so taken with a pinch of salt. He has deleted all photos of him myself in an Ajax kit, apparently.

Come to think of it, this revelation is more than likely the reason behind the frosty stand off that appears to have developed between himself and Ange....

Especially after Ange's great comments about needing to get his targets in early.
Hmmm. Interesting
He's the majority owner of Nice I believe. And his part ownership in United is apparently not being made official until after the January window. Probably because of his ownership in Nice. Or because the Glazers are cunts.
Already posted and the youtubers already have a video for those (all) of us that don't have a scooby who he is

Btw heard someone say "Don't have a a Danny La rue" the other day. Anyone old enough to tell me if that is the OG rhyming slang?
That's because he knows its Levys job to stop the transfer.
He owns Nice
He isn’t being forced out the door , I think if he leaves it’s because he wants to be in the starting 11
Yes. And no.
It's only harder cause clubs don't give HG kids the chance...or the same as they do foreign kids. So much more exciting to bring in a young French, Spanish or South American wizard. Which is no surprise when most PL clubs are owned and managed by non-HG people. But that's bollocks.
There's an insane amount of talent here in Britain. And when some clubs like Brighton do give them a shot, well we've seen what they can do. Hum hum, let's look at our own club. Harry Kane? Dele Alli? Kyle Walker? Danny Rose?
And look at the Championship...which imo is a more competitive league than say the Eredivisie, Primeira Liga, Austrian league etc. It's full of HG kids and man they know how to play football.
The issue is with PL clubs' mentality & bias, and the quotas being wrong. But even with the quotas as they are, I want Spurs to get back to the days where we had 4 or 5 Englishmen in the starting 11 week in week out, plus more on the bench. We ain't Woolwich, Chelsea or City...we play English players here. And it friggin annoys me how they do better than us in that area these days. Gotta do better with our academy, which I know is a work in progress. And when needing a senior CB, well fuck Todibo and the likes. Go for a Tomori, Guehi...
No chance in hell we are spending 70m on a CB. I doubt we will spend that much on a player under Levy ever tbh but if we did, it would be a striker surely.
Dan K still talking up Todibo
Any thoughts on this JT? You were quick to believe Ornstein

Pal, we spent 60 on Ndombele, 60 on Richy, 45 on Brennan, same on Cuti, just a few quid less on Madders/Micky/Porro/friggin Sanchez...
We all know where I stand on the Baldy One, but he has spent money. You're talking about 70 mil as if it's like 4 times our record signing. It ain't...just a few extra bobs. And...We. Have. That. Friggin. Amount. And. Some.
But yeah, will he spend it on a CB? Doubtful. On a CB in January? Even more so. On an English CB in January? Got a fatter chance seeing angels shoot out my arsehole.
It'll end up being Todibo for 40 ish and though I hope he's a success, I honestly think we'll be here in a year's time saying we got Ndomb'd again.
We did but he's never even got close to 70m and with Tomori the wages might be the biggest issue. Tomori has won a Seria A and played CL Finals, he would be demanding a wage level with the hghest-paid players at our club.
It's very odd to me he want's to leave Ajax without making a senior appearance.
Then friggin pay it. If we want to play with the big boys, we gotta act like them (minus the dodgy illegal-sounding shit a la City).
If Dan Dan wants to go the cheaper route (again) cause it's Jan or whatever, may as well go for that Tosin lad from Fulham. 15 mil and he's ours. He works out? Great. But if he doesn't, it's 15 mil and you'd recoup a big chunk of that selling him to Celtic or a promoted team.
Todibo at 40-50 ish makes little sense. Another foreign buy, no experience of big comps, not even the best defender in Ligue 1 (I watch it a lot, got a house in France where I spend a few months each year)...and yeah plenty red flags about his attitude.
Go get Tomori + CM + Clarke +ST and A] we'll have done what shoulda been in the summer...B] we're giving the cunts, dippers & oil riggers a serious fright/fight...C] we may actually win the glorious FA Cup...D] what a force we'll be next season, being 6 months ahead of the game (for once)
Gallagher could make Tottenham transfer after Spurs agreed principles of deal
Conor Gallagher will enter the final 18 months of his contract at Chelsea in January - boosting Tottenham's hopes of completing a transfer for the England international
Tottenham remain interested in signing Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher.
It's believed Spurs agreed the principles of a deal in August, but Chelsea pulled out. The Blues failed to find a replacement for Gallagher, 23, and new manager Mauricio Pochettino was impressed with his displays during the opening month of the season.
The England international has gone on to start every Premier League game this season, except the 2-1 defeat to Manchester United due to suspension. He's also captained the team 10 times in the absence of injured pair Reece James and Ben Chilwell. Yet Chelsea still might sell Gallagher in January. That's because the midfielder is about to enter the final 18 months of his contract and the two parties are yet to agree a new one.
Mauricio Pochettino makes feelings clear on Chelsea selling Conor Gallagher amid transfer links
As reported by Sky Sports News, Tottenham are aware of Gallagher's situation and may decide to make a move in January. It's unclear exactly how much Chelsea will demand for the U17 World Cup winner, but they won't sell to a direct rival on the cheap.
Gallagher's hopes of joining Tottenham may depend on Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's situation. The Denmark international will need to leave Spurs to make room for Gallagher, although there are thought to be plenty of suitors. Juventus are the favourites to sign him.
It would be tough for Chelsea to lose a young player of Gallagher's quality. He's been at the club for 15 years and has played 65 first-team games. Gallagher broke into the side after completing impressive loan spells with Charlton, Swansea, West Brom and Crystal Palace. England boss Gareth Southgate is a fan, capping the player 11 times to date.
i hope spurs stay awayMy concern is that only 6 clubs have shown interest
PS! And before some didn't think I thought about it....yes, the numbers of clubs interested are most probably just made up
i cant remember a player leaving ajax , who has been a good signing fpr any club let alone spurs
recently

Kudus is the latest one who's been good
There's quite a few actually.
Absolutely fucking loads. They are one of the best development clubs in the history of football.
I think maybe
koko619
means leaving their academy and there probably have been a few of those as well but who can be fucked to google that.
