    Eric Dier

    Not in manager's plans, if he has decent offers to leave and wants to sit out to leave as a free agent instead then keep him, pay his wages and use him as a last resort. A disincentive for others to try to force a contract buyout when they have other options. Paying him out costs the same but...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    Picking up from the itk thread. Discussing itk without mentioning Levy is a bit artificial, because he is a huge factor in transfer news and business, and is himself the subject of itk. While I get that opinion on him repeats, most of what anyone says here is not new and discussing transfers...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Very popular, but he is stubborn and some in the game who like a more 'realistic' style of football (ie those who obsess on defence, or who think that being attacking and open equals being 'naive' ) got on his back when he was national team coach and in time he had a gutful of it. That will...

    Harry Kane

    Exactly right.

    You do you mate, if you think it's a mess is very different to we are a mess then good luck to you. 👍

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th July

    That's today's itk, we are a mess and don't know who we are bringing in because of uncertainty about Kane... So why off topic or not factual?

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 18th July

    Has Levy played a blinder? Keep stretching it out to try to get a result on Kane but in the process hold up our other decisions on ins and outs, then say that we couldn't do all the deals to reshape the squad that late in the window. Let's see.

    Harry Kane

    'cept we wouldn't be in this mess with Kane not wanting to continue on if Levy had backed high performance and a balanced squad of suitable players for each position... Kane would be convinced and would have signed ages ago... Levy just likes brinkmanship... but the problem is his own creation.

    Player Watch Player Watch: Micky van de Ven

    Tottenham Away you tube channel did an analysis and reckon he is a good footballer (fast, technically strong on the ball, attacking)but he is not a well developed or natural defender and will still need to be coached a lot in centre back craft. More of a mid who is tall so plays at the back. His...

    Player Perr Schuurs

    Apparently not very quick, but is proactive, aggressive, can dribble well and has reasonable anticipation. This report from his time at Ajax, in late 2020... "Schuurs is the right central defender in this situation and is capable of bringing it out from the back, driving into the space. He...

    Player Alex Scott

    He was but he was the Levy special after not paying for Wijnaldum? I still remember that deadline day, hoping we sign no one instead of him... Newcastle fans laughing about mugging Levy off, they were dead right. Signing Sissoko set us back so far, cost so much Levy never got rid or really...

    Joe Lewis and insider trading

    It's not just alleged he gave tips, there are some other allegations that perhaps could be interpreted as being more systematic. This from CBS News... "According to the indictment, Lewis' investments in various companies gave him control of board seats, where he placed associates who let him...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    Good video from one of his star playmakers at Brisbane. Bracing myself this season for all those who whined about uncompromising defensive football to start whining about uncompromising playing out from the back...

    The ousting of Daniel (COYS)

    I don't think Munn and Postecoglou have worked together? P was at Brisbane and then a different Melbourne club to Munn. They have probably met before, but not worked together.

    Ange is brave and sticks to his attacking instincts even if criticised for being naive for trying it against superior opposition. Players who are brave are excited to play in this way and play for him. In the end, as Australian coach he got pissed off with all the criticism from those football...

    Next DoF

    I had thought Spurs wanted a DOF to work under Munn, with Munn the finance and admin guy, but is Levy going to now just rely on the manager to also do the DOF role? Some of the YouTube channels mentioned rumours that we may not now go for a DOF, just have a manager and Munn? And the focus on...

    Yep, I gave up thinking Spurs could achieve anything before Poch left, when he was left high and dry with eff all squad development / regeneration not to mention being weighed down by pig headed Levy signings like Sissoko etc... I then stopped watching games when Poch left (I hate Jose, a vile...

    Scott Munn

    Thought this post was sobering, don't have great expectations, but perhaps he can bring something if there is a good director of football under him... Post in thread 'The ousting of Daniel Levy' https://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?threads/the-ousting-of-daniel-levy.151927/post-8321151
