    Eric Dier

    Has Dier really been turning down moves left, right and centre, like Ndombele seems to have been doing? Has he shown any real inclination to warm the bench and collect his paycheck? We're a couple of weeks into the season, and this is a player who was playing almost every match last season...

    Djed Spence

    Yep, big club, big expectations. It may be the making of him. Hopefully it'll work out better than Jack Clarke's loan did.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham FC ***

    Eesh. I must admit to not having watched any of this match yet. On the face of things though, that was a pretty weak XI that Ange put out, against a Fulham side featuring half their 1st XI and a handful of others on the fringes. Fulham are no mugs -- they gave Arsenal a scare at Highbury, after...

    Tanguy Ndombele

    Think he's got 2 years left on his contract, at £200k/wk, which makes it a little over £20m to pay it off in its entirety. Ouch. Why should he settle for less? On one hand, there'd be the prospect of a nice juicy signing-on fee...but there's no way any other club would be prepared to pay those...

    Perhaps they can see a time when the money from all that black gold starts to dry up, and want their pet states to remain vaguely relevant. Of course, we'll be using hydrocarbons as raw materials long after they stop being used as mankind's main fuel.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

    Harsh! @elltrev has done alright for a quick effort. From that frame, which I'll assume to be at the exact moment the ball was struck (and really, don't get me started on the error bars that should be involved with that), it does seem that Rashford's onside -- certainly if you're giving the...

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

    Or we'd have conceded 3 goals in 10 minutes. There's no way of knowing. That'll be the true test of this new ethos - what happens when the opposition take their chances and we go 2-0 down early on. I can but hope that we're not the brittle Spurs of old.

    Yves Bissouma

    Agreed -- and as @papaspur wrote, Conte getting us top 4 in his first season was absolutely massive in terms of recruitment and status. I really thought we'd kick on from there, as some of the football in the run-in was absolutely glorious, but instead the whole team just retreated into their...

    Yves Bissouma

    There'll be knocks, there'll be suspensions -- especially the way yellow cards are being dished out this season. Perhaps Bentancur will actually have the luxury of being phased in gradually after a major injury. But back to Bissouma. Such confidence, looking like Brighton Bissouma again. I'm...

    You're sounding pretty damn ITK there, mate.

    *** OMT Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United ***

    After his incredible first (half-)season, it's easy to forget that Kulu is still a young player. I suspect his confidence was hit more than most by last season's attacking instructions (or lack of) and, hopefully, he's still recovering from that. So much play has to be by instinct and learned...

    A lesson for Harry from "Goliath"

    Agreed. While success helps, there are plenty of forgotten players with plenty of trophies...and plenty of remembered players who won bugger all. Which players do I remember from the 90s? Le Tissier, for a start, but also the likes of Nolberto Solano, Zola, Beardsley and so on. Even Faustino...

    Alejo Veliz

    Okay, so for a lot of those goals he was given far more space by the defence than he'd ever get in the PL, but he still had to react first and finish them off. A few were very good finishes though - calm and confident. Promising player, good price, I'm hopeful.

    Two-footed too. Get him in!

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I was shocked when Southampton sacked Nigel Adkins in favour of some random Carlos Kickaball. Wonder what happened to him?

    Harry Kane MBE

    So that's Emirates Marketing Project and Arsenal, annoyingly, neither of whom show any signs of suddenly dropping 5 places. That leaves 3 spots, with us (hopefully), Saudi Sportswashing Machine, ManU, Liverpool, and Chelsea to fight over them. Poch has a lot of work to do at Chelsea and hopefully Manchester United won't be as lucky...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Just going by how he looks and how he speaks, I'm getting a cross between BMJ and Poch. This is good.

    Harry Kane MBE

    A bedding-in season without Kane means a mid-table finish, top 8 at best. A bedding-in season with Kane gives us a chance at a EL finish, maybe even CL if Ange can get the machine whirring by Christmas. £100m buys you a lot less than it did when we sold Bale. With the increased revenues from...

    Transfer fred.

    He was excellent for Palace. Young with PL experience. He wouldn't have been my first choice, but I'm certainly not unhappy to see him linked to us. If the price is right, he could be a very astute signing. But much like Bissouma, there's always a risk.

    As @LemonadeMoney said, it's entirely possible that this is a money laundering scheme to get around FFP, at least in part. The club owners in the Middle East don't need fans, either local or on worldwide TV. We all saw the World Cup audiences seemingly paid to be there. Selling shirts? Not when...
