    ENIC

    For all the disagreement with Dubai, it is fair to back him up and point out that ENIC are very unusual in precisely how little they’ve invested in the club: So it’s not a dichotomy between ENIC’s total lack of investment and Emirates Marketing Project’s sugar daddies - ENIC could have invested a few tens of...

    Harry Kane MBE

    To be honest that was what I suspected as soon as the VDV and Veliz deals went through. Personally I’m not too bothered - squad looks in a good place to me. I know everyone wants another CB, but I think it’s hard to attract another top one when we already have Romero and now VDV. My only...

    Harry Kane MBE

    They only talk about it because fans engage with it, Spurs and non-Spurs alike. Just look how many posts this thread has in the last few weeks compared to any other thread. (50 pages worth in the last 11 days alone).

    Harry Kane MBE

    I had been happy for Harry to go a few weeks ago, but now it would feel really disruptive and deflating for it to happen 3 days before the first game of the season, after he just scored 4 goals in a friendly. And if we don't start the season well, the negativity could very quickly grow. Then...

    Interesting - didn't particularly seem like a current need unless Harry leaves.

    Alejo Véliz

    Anyone have any intel on whether he'll be straight in the first team squad or the development squad / loan first? Feels surplus to first team requirements at the moment, unless Harry leaves or Richarlison shifts out wide at the expense of Perisic.

    But I'm pretty sure every team has 19-21 year-old players from the academy who need to be loaned before they break into the first team or get sold - it's inherent in having an academy. So I just don't think it's fair or accurate to include them in 'appalling squad management'. (And personally I...

    OFT - Tottenham Vs Barcelona

    For me, this is the endless cycle with Sanchez though - he often looks like an excellent centre-back, and it's tempting to want to give him a chance - but then he'll inevitably go through a run of fudge-ups. I don't see it being any different this time, even under a different kind of manager. In...

    Scarlett and Devine are 19, and Parrott and White are 21 - stop acting as if they’re older players who have to be part of the first team or sold permanently.

    Ivan Perisic

    I think he looks great in Ange’s system. And we need him, with Porro shifted to RB and Gil injured. I’m sure he wants to prove himself in the PL too, after a disappointing first season. And can’t imagine us getting a fee for a 34/35 year old with a year left on his contract. Don’t see him leaving.

    OFT - Tottenham Vs Barcelona

    Yup. He must be really brick defensively if Porro is seen as the more defensive of the two!

    OFT - Tottenham Vs Barcelona

    Sanchez has always looked like a brilliant defender 90% of the time. Unfortunately he’s just never been able to iron out the big mistakes. Hopefully he can get a move where he gets more playtime, and finally iron the mistakes out.

    Porro playing twice! Sneaky :D

    OFT - Tottenham Vs Shakhtar

    It was a planned thing for him to come off in the 16th minute, to celebrate his 16 years at the club. (I was at the match and they announced it).

    OFT - Tottenham Vs Shakhtar

    Yeah quite possibly - just seemed like it was our first XI today, and I was surprised Bissouma was behind Hojbjerg and Sarr. Guess we’ll see though in a week’s time.

    James Maddison

    Bissouma was very much that for Brighton.

    OFT - Tottenham Vs Shakhtar

    Interesting that Bissouma didn’t get any minutes today - does he have a knock? Or slipped down the pecking order for some reason? Seemed pretty clearly to be our best XI at every other position.

    Bryan Gil

    He's ended up being one of our stranger transfers in recent years, even before the injuries. £21m + Lamela isn’t exactly chump change for a teenager, yet he barely seems to have been given a chance. Guess the change from Nuno to Conte didn’t help. Think he could actually excel in Ange’s system...

    Transfer fred.

    Yep it was me, well-remembered! Each row is average annual net spend across previous 5 years. 09 line is where stadium was announced, 01 line is where Levy took over. If you look at the 10-11 row, our 5-year average annual net spend was only behind Emirates Marketing Project. A big old case of recency bias...
