    Harry Kane MBE

    That's a much larger problem, by the way. People used to make fun of La Liga or even the Scottish league by saying it's a two-horse race. Now, when you have two title contenders in your league, you're blessed with a fascinating competition! City won what? 5 out of 6? In Croatia, Dinamo won 16...

    Harry Kane MBE

    To be honest though, if we were a successful club, the next Kane would never get a chance. Aside from Barcelona, who run a different model, and Bayern, who can basically pick and play whoever they want in Germany, homegrown players are few and far between at top clubs. They usually come from...

    Harry Kane MBE

    I'm not sure about that. Kane was one of the very few players to publicly regret Mourinho's departure. By all accounts, he had a good working relationship with him. That's why I believe some fans are fooling themselves: what you perceive and what a professional football player perceives can be...

    Harry Kane MBE

    The one thing he's said to be wanting is trophies and that's one thing he won't get at Spurs. I think people who believe he'll stay because he enjoys life under Postecoglou are fooling themselves. He's been there and he's done that. He's had managers he enjoyed working with, others he didn't...

    I haven't watched any of the friendlies but I think we should keep in mind that being a goalkeeper in small-ish team, where you'll face lots of shots and concede 2+ per game while looking good, and being a goalkeeper where you'll face 1-2 shots per game but can't afford any mistake is a very...

    I think it's called Post Saturday Night Binge Disorder... Well, he ALMOST played for AC Milan, that's got to count for something, doesn't it??

    No one with the money to cover their wages, that is. Dier has bags of experience, Reguilon can do a job as an attacking full back (Aurier found a club, after all), Rodon used to be fairly highly rated and he hardly played a game for us (don't know how his loan went), Tanganga EDIT: ALMOST played...

    Completely agree although, when he did start, he showed a lot of energy but the end product suffered as a result. I was quite impressed with his defensive work, I didn't think he had that in him. But the finishing... the less said, the better. Strikers often run on confidence. A player who's...

    You're all incredibly confident in Postecoglou's system, I see! Which is cool, by the way, I wish I were, too. I've got no opinion whatsoever: I've never seen his teams play, bar for a couple of Australia games when he was their manager. I'm just going to point out that he never got that kind...

    I agree with your sentiment that Kane would have a hard time fitting in. Plus, I think he wants to work with big-name coaches: he was quite pleased with Mourinho apparently and nothing I read led me to think he didn't get on with Conte. It's very sad, but selling him is the right decision, I...

    I don't like it much. Richarlison scores, at best, 1 in 3. That's 10-15 goals a season so I'm guessing the whole thing relies on Postecoglou's system allowing other players to score lots of goal. Not sure that will happen though. Perisic used to have a decent record for a winger (1 in 4, at a...

    That's the model that got us there but it's not sustainable at the highest level. If you look at the teams who reach the latter rounds of the Champions League, they take the odd gamble but, mostly, they sign players who are proven at the highest level. Coming from Split, I know the theory: you...

    If fans were an issue, some clubs would have a hard time fielding XI players. I think @Bishop's argument is probably valid, too. We wouldn't pay top wages but once you reach a certain level, you can't afford to rely on 'potential' players any longer. You need established players, even older...

    It's quite interesting to look at the kind of players we are being linked with. I'm not trying to put a negative spin on this window because a) it's far from closed and b) the only truth is what you see on the pitch in competitive games. With that being said, we're definitely back to signing the...

    Spurs pre-season Perth, Australia

    Back in the 90s, we often had excellent pre-season results. You had zero match coverage outside England at the time, so I remember entering pretty much each and every season with high hopes. And then competitive games began and it was back to 'there's always next season'.

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Would you say Nuno went through an 'extended period of poor results'? Now, let's imagine for a second that, instead of having 'anonymous sources' complaining about the quality of training sessions, the vibe had been 'it's too early to judge' or 'it's a work in progress'. A manager's work is...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    I don't want to sound blasé our rain on your parade but I think of a guy who survived a manhunt by the media, not even Ardiles or Hoddle, and they were club legends - people who know what Spurs are all about. But the thing is, when you play attacking football and don't get the results and start...

    Welcome Ange: To Dare is to Didgeridoo

    Regardless of what happens on the pitch (bar some incredibly good or poor sequences of results), his fate will be sealed by the media - as usual, I might add. When many journalits go after a guy's head, it's very rare that they don't get their wish, sooner or later. Being a nice guy could help...
