Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Watching the game last night just keep thinking how Kulusevski is much better centrally. We really need a proper right winger who can take full backs on, press hard and hold the width. I think as a team we need at least 1 of Maddison or Kulusevski centrally for creativity. Dibling if he is as suitable as it sounds might be the best signing we could make just to get team balance.

It seems to be so fucking obvious to everyone bar the club.
 
Apparently United can’t even do a loan deal unless they get Rashford & or Casemiro out on loan as they can’t afford to even cover the Tel loan .

That kinda tells me that Tel is waiting to see if they can get rid of £700k pw in wages . That will go down to the final day
 
Following a whistlestop tour of several big European clubs, Sverre Nypan has decided to stay put at Rosenborg for the time being.

That’s according to The Athletic’s David Ornstein who reported last week that Woolwich had held discussions with the 18-year-old attacking midfielder.

Watching the minute Gray and Bergvall have got this season and the way they have performed, these kids and their advisors will put Spurs at the top of the list if we come knocking.
 
Problem with the Saudi Pro league is that Sports Washing dont work if nobody (the people you are trying to change your countries image to) watches it.

If you buy City, Newcastle or PSG, people are forced to watch it. Wonder how long it will take for them to figure it out.
They do have some local audience.

But it's mostly an outlet to demonstrate economic power, just like the World Cup. Washing of reputation doesn't come into it much. As we saw with Qatar, they don't actually care if Westerners approve of their culture.
 
I'm not precious about a player wanting to "come and play for the badge". Next to no player joins a club for that reason. Yaya Toure wasn't sure about joining City. He becomes their best players ever along with De Bruyne. Tonali wasn't sure about leaving Milan. But the money Newcastle offered them was too good. He's now one of their most important players (after an interrupted start obviously).

Ultimately, before you even try and sign a player, you should do the work in finding out if their a good enough character, that they'll get to work for whichever club they do end up signing for. If you hear good things in that regard, then don't worry about it.. if you think there could be problems, then you shouldn't go for them anyway

I'd rather have a top talent that you need to pitch the club to over a middling talent that dreams of playing for us.. Because the latter would also need convincing if other clubs were actually bothered to be interested in them.
 
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a smokescreen and Jamie Bynoe-Gittens ends up with us to be fair. Quote me, bookmark me, fuck you etc etc etc. We need English players more than ever and a pure LW option more than a jack of all trades master of some.

The whole Tel story is far too public for how we operate.
That's a good call. Tel just a smokescreen for Lange going to Germanland.

I know dibling is another ‘kid ‘ but for me it’s a no brainer.

Attendances are dropping at a pretty decent rate though. Crowds used to come to watch local players. They’ll come to watch players like Rodrygo. Not so keen on watching the veterans league they presently have.
