    Player Watch: Gareth Bale - Retires

    Late announcement makes sense. Pogba was announced at midnight: 8am Beijing, 7pm NY, 5pm LA. This is a signing for global market appeal. Pour yourselves a rum and enjoy the ride. Happy new year everyone ??✡️

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - RETRO Edition 14th September 2020

    State of this thread is like when your parents finally give in and let you eat as much chocolate as you want just once so you can finally appreciate why they always tell you to keep the ITK thread on topic to avoid spewing shit all evening. Lesson learned, hopefully... A&C and Rob are...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 28th August

    Surely the all time classic is the one (i cant remember the player) where the clue/cryptic had been written in white, and you had to highlight the paragraph to see it? Some poor sod hadn’t done it, and when he was being politely told about it, the joke went further over his head than a Bobby...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    Could do, but Tanganga showed enough in cup/league games last year to warrant a backup fullback role at least, be nice to keep him in and around the 1st team squad as he will get games (if Aurier goes). Plus, christ knows with our injury form over the last few years, we’ll probably need a 5th...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    My hunch is we’d get Skrinar in for 50k a week less than Ndom, plus Foyth/Aurier outgoings leaves us ~150k a week and around 25-30m to play with. In this market, you’d hope we could go and find a “creative” player with that kind of money to use. That’s presuming we do a flat trade and don’t...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    Ndombele for Skrinar would be a ridiculously good deal for us given ITK on TN attitude/fitness. Skrinar genuinely one of Europe’s best CB prospects. Ok, it would leave us stacked at CB (Toby / Sanchez / Dier / Skrinar / Tanganga) but you need a bank of good CB to win anything with 60 games a...

    Jose Mourinho

    Ch****a fans are rattled. Ar****l fans are ratted. United fans are rattled. We seem to be the only people who can’t see it: This Tottenham squad has always had the quality, we’ve just lacked the mettle/mentality. Jose is the mettle. It may be less exciting than the final year at the Lane, but...

    Next Spurs Manager (No longer with groundbreaking 'Change vote' functionality)

    If we’ve sacked poch, regardless of what you think of ability, the only (available) upwards trade in terms of prestige is Jose. Anyone else and this is a disaster, in many ways. It may still be with him, but the only way the club can claim to be “big” is to get another tier 1 manager.

    Player Paulo Dybala

    Not uncommon in South America. It's an insurance policy for young players. They're given a sum of money up front "in case they don't make it big big" which would set them up. The payoff for the buyers of the rights is you end up cashing out in size if the kid comes good...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 7th August

    “Might only be one” and “should be 2” indicates, as should be obvious, our chappies have different sources... From the info we can infer that Grealish should be igi’s (close) one, and N’Another who has been looked at previously, is materialising into a reality, late-doors. Not worth a guessing...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread 10th June

    I won't buy that we're better without Toby, but if we have an 80mioEUR bid from abroad, that is absolutely the best possible result. Hit the bid, keep him out the PL and reinvest accordingly. Seems De Ligt deal stalling from recent ITK but this would be enough powder to get us back at the...

    Tom Bayliss

    http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-5246533/Tottenham-eye-Tom-Bayliss-shone-Coventry-beat-Stoke.html - To revive an old thread, the commentators on Sky Sports repeated the claim that Derby and us were interested parties today, during the play-off match vs Notts County. There is a...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 14th January

    Other than not having any ITK on Tierney, we should also stop discussing him because he's a lifelong Celtic fan and has no intention of leaving. Best business we can do now is contract-related, and sorting out the finances. Any squad additions would be bonus.
