    Player Watch - Djed Spence - Genoa

    Got 30 min against Inter and based on dodgy Twitter translations seems like he did pretty well, put in a dangerous cross that could have been the equalizer but was headed just wide. A few calls for him to start their next match.

    We need that either way because Royal (while a more talented traditional fullback) is even less of an inverted FB than Davies. I think a reasonably two-footed player comfortable in the inverted role could probably cover both sides better than either of them. Royal will have a much higher sale...

    I think we’ll keep Davies mostly for CB rotation, sell Royal and target an inverted fullback who can plausibly cover either side. Emerson is just wasted in this system that demands all the things he struggles with and rarely highlights his defensive talents.

    Pedro Neto

    People always bring up the lump sum thing like it’s a restriction but surely the club could agree on a payment plan for a slightly higher fee with a bank or third party? Or in turn, with Bilbao themselves? They can’t usually spend much on transfers anyway due to their Basque policy.

    Match Threads Spurs vs Brighton

    For someone who hasn’t played since Christmas, Mitoma looked really good again as always. It’s probably not possible unless his new deal has a release clause, but I’d be thrilled if we tried to move for him this summer. That chance he created for Fati was exactly what we need, he’s as close to a...

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    Another win and a clean sheet for Keeley; and a win and 90’ for Matthew Craig, from Twitter sounds like he looked good in a deeper role and nearly got an assist or two.

    Loan Watch: Alfie Devine

    Ashley Phillips 7 - It is impressive how much of a physical presence that Phillips has about him at the age of just 18. After four successive starts for the Pilgrims since arriving on loan from Tottenham Hotspur it is already clear he is more than good enough to play at Championship level.

    Loan Watch: Alfie Devine

    Swans had 72% possession, which I imagine made it difficult for Devine to make a huge impression. Alfie Devine 6 - The 19-year-old loan signing from Tottenham made just his second Argyle appearance as one of the two attacking players behind Ryan Hardie in Argyle's 3-4-2-1 formation. He made a...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    It’s very tight at the moment, Italy have 14.0 coefficient points, Germany 13.642, and England 13.625. If our remaining teams make deeper runs than either Germany or Italy we’ll get it. The first knockout round could be very consequential - Napoli Inter Lazio Leipzig are all in real danger, and...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Don’t forget Bissouma as well, he’s more of a defensive player in this system than either fullback and the other options at DM just don’t provide the same level of cover for the defense.

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    Tough moment for Josh Keeley today as he makes a big error to give away a 90+9’ equalizer. Hopefully he’s able to turn it into a learning experience.
