    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Signing David making more sense.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

    So yes I kind of agree with this, which then in theory makes him surplus to requirements under Ange. However I think the start of the season showed how he can still bring a lot to the team, even if it means he's not going as wide as we need him to. That being said I always thought Son was...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Son Heung-min

    This player is surely Son though? He needs to be the one going out wide and then either putting in a cross or cutting back in. Richarlison on the other hand has been on decent form for us when he's started fit, so he should be the one playing centrally. I think the biggest issue with Son...

    New Tottenham 24-25 Kits

    Annoyingly the women's team came very close to getting a training wear sponsor that wasn't a betting company, but frustratingly this didn't work out in the end for next season.

    That would make a lot of sense.

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Agreed. It's VERY easy to predict how Son, Deki and Johnson play right now. Johnson has the differential of being able to skin a player, which means knowing what he will do won't always work. But neither Son nor Deki can skin a player and even when Deki outmuscles someone on the ball he then...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    I assume you mean Sport Club Corinthians Paulista, or simply Corinthians, as they are known commonly. (y) I know i'm being pedantic, but they're my Brazil team, I used to live on the same road as their stadium at Pacaembu, before they moved in 2015. Agreed, we should be seriously looking...

    Raphinha

    I think the Saudi clubs will cut losses in order to ensure players get out happily. The worst thing they could do right now is create prohibitive reasons for why players can't leave, effectively forcing players to stay against their will. It will put an enormous nail in the coffin of the sports...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Also, and I keep repeating this across threads, we need to look more closely at how we account for players under the new FFP rules coming in. Basically if Richarlison cost us £50m 2 years ago on a 5 year deal then anything above £30m for him now is a profit on the books. So we could sell for...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 31st January

    We need European football for that though. We had one game per week on average throughout this entire season, if we had started bringing in the younger players it would have meant dropping established players that were trying to learn a new system and caused even more problems. European...

    Raphinha

    I think anyone leaving the Saudi league to come back to Europe will know that their wages will take a massive dent. The only reason they went to Saudi was the money, if that money had existed in Europe they never would have gone.

    Saudi Arabia clubs seriously interested in signing Richarlison

    It's very unlikely we'll get to this. City this season have Haaland on 25 and Foden on 16, their 3rd and 4th highest scorers are Alvarez on 10 and Rodri on 7. Total across first 3 is 51 and total across first 4 is 58. Arsenal this season have Saka on 16, Havertz on 11, Trossard on 11 and...

    Eberechi Eze

    Johnson has done enough in his first season, given lately our overall team has been poor, to warrant staying another season at least before he's fully judged. He's young and will get better and is HG. Son - I think it would be taking too much heart out of the team and I think the Asia Cup fucked...

    Saudi Arabia clubs seriously interested in signing Richarlison

    I agree he shouldn't go there, but there are players who are at the ends of their careers who I think definitely made the right choice, at least in terms of setting up their families for generations to come. Neymar is the obvious example here, the guy was from a poor background and had largely...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    We just played Liverpool (who've been in a title race all season), Chelsea (who are on crazy form right now) and Arsenal (still in the title race for this season) in the space of a week. I get we've lost more than just those games but some context here is needed too.
