    The transfer thread

    Definitely a good question. I just want a striker though. I really think that having someone to sit in the box and bang 'em in would turn us into title challengers. Werner isn't world class, but having him and Sonny (and Solomon) covering LW is good enough for me. On the right, Johnson should...

    The transfer thread

    I agree with all of that, except the Richi injury thing. He's had a terrible season with us, but hopefully he'll be luckier next time. I thought that Ange was going to turn Johnson into a striker, kind of like what Wenger did with Terry Henry -- move a quick winger with decent finishing into...

    Rough highlights of Prem teams' transfer windows

    A lot of people, myself included, thought £40m a pretty high price for a young CB who'd had a couple of seasons at one of the mid-table Bundesliga clubs and seemed to be doing fairly well but not making the headlines. I'd argue that £40m for a solid English 27yo CB with Prem experience (and 2...

    True. Toney has proved that he can score goals in the Premiership and, importantly, seems able to lead the line and rough up defenders. More so than Sonny has ever done. Possibly a mixture of Richarlison's physicality and Sonny's finishing. My big issue with him is that he seems to be a bit of...

    Archie Gray

    4th most expensive 18 year old (behind Endrick, Rodrygo and Vinicius Jr) according to this Transfermarkt article: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/the-most-expensive-18-year-olds-of-all-time-archie-gray-ranks-4th/view/news/440018 The picture reel halfway down that article includes 19yo's too --...

    Tree trunk thighs on a relatively scrawny torso.

    Archie Gray

    Excellent interview. Speaks well, seems grounded. Coming from a proper football family will help. Plus, he's got Modric legs!

    Archie Gray

    Wow, that escalated quickly! If Gray, Bergvall and Sarr reach their potential, then f*ck me but we'll have one hell of a centre midfield. With the likes of Mikey Moore to come in a few years later. I mean, there's still a long way between "talented teenager in a lower league" and "bossing it...

    Yeah, I suppose he did alright! Adding Walker and Trippier takes us to 3 good Championship signings in the last 15 years. And it's not like the others have been even moderately good.

    Good point. I must have missed him. I think Kyle Naughton came at the same time. Definitely a success.

    Bale, yes, but it's more than a little disingenuous to count Carrick and Defoe as signings from the Championship. Sure, we technically bought them from a Championship club, but they'd both made their names in the Prem before West Ham got relegated. What significant signings have we made from...

    New Kit?

    We'll try anything to get a few more games out of Lo Celso!

    That'll be at least 30 Hail GHoddles for such blasphemy. The modern day Ledley. Or possibly Dier.

    Getting silly now.

    While I agree with the sentiment, this isn't strictly true. I was in Da Nang (big town on the coast of central Vietnam) last summer and it was full of Chinese people, many of whom were there to gamble. You're allowed to gamble if you've got a foreign passport, so there are a few massive casinos...

    Tanguy Ndombele

    Quite. Too many of our big signings around that period failed on the mental aspect rather than ability. Lo Celso and Sessegnon as well -- nothing wrong with their ability, just lacking some sort of edge psychologically that would have made them excellent players for our club. In my head this...

    Son Heung-Min

    I'm going to wax slightly lyrical as I've been drinking, but I can't think of many players in my Spurs supporting life (since 1990) who I've been prouder to see wearing our shirt. Or our shinnies. Sonny bleeds blue and white. Our club means so much to him. He's up there with Ledley, Mabbs and...

    RIP Jimmy Greaves.

    A Prima Ballerina cross?! Sounds more like Drogba. Outrageous!

    The Nu-Mour-Conts Era

    Good point about the dip not being too bad -- but a large part of that was, as @Baleforce pointed out, mitigated against by the Kane-Son partnership. Goals win matches. I would argue that we can't include Vicario, Dragusin, Maddison and Johnson as part of the No-Mour-Conts period. It's a bit...

    The Nu-Mour-Conts Era

    Mour-Conts-Nu, surely? Ah, now I see what you did there. Nice. I think all of us could see the decline of Pochettino's side in the 2018-19 season, despite making it to the CL final (and therefore arguably being the club's most successful season in recent history). Then there was that truly...

    Whoever does get picked at RB for Spain should count himself bloody lucky that Argentina isn't in Europe.
