    Llorente set for summer exit

    I actually think Harry was starting to look a little tired in the last couple of games. Just slightly (ever so slightly) off the pace eg against Juventus at home and again in the early stages against Bournemouth. That he got injured was probably just a bad coincidence but you do tend to see...

    Kane the only world-class player England have - Sheringham

    This raises the same old boring argument about what "world class" actually means. If it means: contender for the Balon d'Or or similar then of course that is only Kane. But if it means (which I think most people would mean) a player that could get into most sides in the world and/or hold...

    Spurs ready bid £35m for Fulham’s Ryan Sessegnon

    To be fair, Matt Law is a good journo with some pretty extensive contacts. The telegraph are usually pretty conservative in their rumour mongering. We have been linked with Sessegnon extensively over a number of years, so I have no doubt we have put some sort of offer in. To my mind, we have...

    Have Spurs won race for Sessegnon

    So did I and I think that is a bit harsh. I quite like the TFS, but they are a bit smug and a bit too cerebral for my liking at times (or at least, think they are). Rosenior provided some much needed grounded views from a guy who has been there and done that. I thought I came across very...

    Rose set to stay

    If we could get Sessegnon for say 25m and sell Rose for 40m, I'd probably take that. Rose is good but not truly great. I think Sessegnon is going to go on to be absolute world class. Rose won't. In the short term, Davies has done really well since Rose's (latest) injury so I don't think it...

    Tottenham have £25m bid for Ryan Sessegnon rejected

    It's not the last day of the season yet - Levy is just warming up ;-)

    Jenas: Levy has humane side

    I met JJ a couple of times when he was playing for us but injured - up in the Corp hospitality area. Absolutely lovely guy. Took a real interest; was well spoken; no ego. Other than his oversized watch, you wouldn't know he was a footballer! Really glad to see him building a post football...

    Tottenham have £25m bid for Ryan Sessegnon rejected

    I think if we are offering £25m for Sessegnon, and it creeps up to say £35 with add ons etc etc, that is a bit more 2016 if not quite 2017 levels?

    Tottenham have £25m bid for Ryan Sessegnon rejected

    In today's terms, this is basically the Bale from Southampton deal all over again. Excellent business. Particularly as it provides a plan for Rose's inevitable departure (if not this Season, next).

    Pochettino says we are 'a bit behind' in pre-season

    People on here seem to have this delusional belief that we have a choice as to whether or not to buy big and keep up with City, Chelsea (and now Everton). We don't. We can only spend what we can afford. We cannot choose to be richer. We have limited resources. Levy's job is to make the...

    Walker confident City transfer will happen

    I don't think there will be a replacement. I think he will promote Trippier and use Walker-Peters as back-up and longer term, a replacement. They rate him very highly, apparently. I would prefer not to sell but if we do then hopefully we will use the money to add some pace up front - someone...

    Personal terms agreed with Vincent Marcel

    I think people need to be a bit more pragmatic. There are basically two ways of improving as a side: (A) buy someone you know is better than what you have; or (B) buy someone you are not sure is going to be better, but hope they deliver on their promise. As our side is now very good, to...

    Manchester United told Eric Dier will cost £50m

    Sorry, but people on here seem to have very short memories. Levy has a long and illustrious history of selling our best players to United. Now, perhaps he has learned the error of his ways; perhaps he really is prepared to back Poch in a way he has never backed another manager. But let's...

    Janssen expects talks on Tottenham future

    Zaha is the answer. Can play wide or as a second striker to support Kane. Definitely has 20 goals in him. If Poch can get the best out of him, he would be perfect for us.

    Spurs convinced they can repel United's £40m Dier offer

    Critical we keep this side together. Particularly Dier who, in my view, could be our most important player (with a nod to Kane). I don't mean he is our best player (that's probably any of Eriksen, Toby, Kane or Dele). But perhaps our most important in that his versatility is what allows us...
