    Almost completely agree here, but it should be noted that GLC has an impressive number of sell-on clauses, even for a South American player. I know we’ve all heard the excuses and I’m not saying this to fully excuse a failure, but it makes these negotiations different from the other work Betis...

    Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

    You played Juan Foyth on the right against City, is that something we might see more of? “Yes. I think yes. I think he was very good. He played so well. The signal that he's giving us in the training sessions, you can see and you can feel and you can trust him in that position.” Mauricio...

    Player Watch: Kieran Trippier

    Having trouble finding a link to the interview but Foyth confirmed Poch asked him if he wanted to play RB last season and he said yes and thinks he could do well there. Foyth made it sound like that would be getting significant playing time there too going forward.

    Gareth Bale

    Feels like Madrid’s summer spending spree in the first month has caught up with them and they’re reduced to using players as bargaining chips. I genuinely think there are maybe 2-3 players in the world that could do Eriksen’s job so truly replacing him is out of the question (unless Rakitic...

    Feels like this deal and maybe one or two more are stalled at the fee haggling stage. ITK may have come from agent side when personal preference (and possibly contract terms) were decided, and everyone heard it was just the fee left to decide when in reality that wasn’t as far along as people...

    Jack Clarke

    I'm waiting to hear back on a research journal I submitted today and this damn Clarke announcement so this really is a day of nervously refreshing about three different tabs. Please get this first one out of the way Tottenham.

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    I know we’re set on him being the perfect signing, and in many ways he is, but that doesn’t make him the perfect player. While everything after it seems really smooth and creative, his first touch is pretty inconsistent. He’s generally better than Sissoko and his worst days will be better than...

    To add to this, Lucas confirmed he pick a permanent move to Tottenham over a loan to United. It’s not happening as quickly as people would like, but the reputation of the club is clearly building. Let’s hope Tanguy sees the same thing Lucas did!

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th June 2019

    Pretty much every club rumored to be interested in Toby are rumored to be fighting for De Ligt right now. Wouldn’t surprise me if the losers of that race fall back to Toby by the end of the window.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 9th June 2019

    Given the role wing backs are given in this modern style, I think they require more time than most to adapt to match level intensity in their role. Even at Aurier’s age, Walker and Rose were still considered mediocre and all potential, and for that reason I think we should stay patient with...

    Bruno Fernandes

    Posted this just after you and deleted. I have yet to see him reported by a legit Spurs journo and every article I have seen has been done in the context of United’s pursuit. Still not buying it.

    Jack Clarke

    Was going to make a post on his stats but imo he doesn’t have enough minutes to make a lot of conclusions about him as a player numbers-wise. Wouldn’t surprise me if we take it slow with him. i.e. maybe starts the season in u23 and first XI exposure is through League/FA Cup. That said I thought...

    Going by his Twitter likes he looks a massive Liverpool supporter. Personally don’t care but was hoping for some personal information and just saw Champions League celebrations... no Tottenham hate though

    They’re also the perfect agent fodder to prod negotiations and get a club worried about price haggling. Bit shite, expected turnover on roster, loads of money, easy to just toss into the fill-in-the-blank transfer stories.

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    He’s looked off ever since that Andorran farmer clattered into him. Barely able to run unless absolutely necessary. And that right side of Dubois and Thauvin has looked dreadful.
