    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    I don't know what the accounting-based value of the club is, but Levy's valuation of it will range somewhere between "ludicrous" and "absurd". That's why all the earlier takeover talks have (sadly) come to nothing...

    Manager Watch: Ange Postecoglou

    As a species, Strikers and defensive midfielders are the most expensive players in the market. Chances of us buying a world class no 6 are therefore slim to none.

    West Ham are sooo negative - it's unreal.

    Spurs finances report 22/23 (swissramble writeup)

    That was according to the UEFA calculation methods. As for him being a Gooner... nobody's perfect, but I have never seen him skew an analysis of any club's finances in order to put the Woolwich outfit in a better light...

    The Formula 1 Thread

    Surely, the end of Ricciardo's F1 career is nigh... Alonso and Hülkenberg are veterans still going strong, but Ricciardo is the very definition of a has-been. RB is the development team of Red Bull - time to make way for Liam Lawson...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    But the main reason we have so many positions to address is because of years of underinvestment and stop-gap signings. Ultimately, we don't spend that much on a single player is because our overall budget for new players is just waaay too low. Spending 100 - 150m per year is simply not going to...

    He should be the pinch-hitter for this team. He doesn't have the legs to lead the front line for 90 mins. Levy's going to have to do the unthinkable this summer and buy a top class forward...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    We have to scout the right players... but we also have to prepare ourself to pay big money for the right men. Hot prospects alone can only get you so far...

    He'd take up a place in the squad. In his stead we could bring in someone who can actually do the job...

    If he can get back into the zone - but realistically, you'd have to doubt that he'll be able to. He's been putting in a string of very indifferent performances over the past 2 seasons, peppered with complaints about strategy calls -which he either is unable to overrule or is quick to disown -...

    Must be hard having these customers outperforming the works-team. A convenient scapegoat would be welcome under the circumstance... He might come across as a bit dour, but he's one of the top 4-5 drivers out there. Mercedes should pick him up quickly as he can really help them develop the car -...

    Seeing Sainz go about his business like this makes you question why on earth Ferrari are replacing him with Lewis Hamilton....

    It's not RB - It's Max Verstappen. He is 22 seconds ahead of his team-mate without breaking sweat. His fasted lap is 1.45 seconds faster than the next fastest (Leclerc). The gap between Perez and Sainz however is only 3 secs. The conclusion is inescapable - Verstappen is just next level...

    The Formula 1 Thread

    Maybe it's coming from people around Helmut Marko. He is there at the insistence of the late Dieter Mateschitz but doesn't have an official role in the hierarchy. With Mateschitz now gone, a power struggle may well have broken out behind the scenes... Just thinking out loud...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Wolves

    We're Spurs. We don't buy players we really need to fit a system - we buy potential and require a manager who's able to mould them into a team. That's why we need a plan A v1.1, v1.2 and so on - if not an outright plan B. At Spurs flexibility is key. That's why Conte failed. But the question...
