    Lennon

    He was after a world cup. Where the whole team played poorly in 2010.

    Lennon

    Exactly so many games that the middle was all boxed in and the stratergy was little more then 'Give the ball to Lennon!'. Won us so many corners, scored little but scored in very big important matches. Usually winners!

    Lennon

    My memory was that he was largerly popular at Tottenham and unpopular with the England fans. The guy won a player of the year award! `He didnt really look the same after his injuries, and as we now know, his well talked about mental health issues which could have been impacting at his time...

    Player Watch - Tanguy Ndombele

    Biggest give away is that apparently he wanted to go back to lyon and really pushed for that. In the documentory he had to be talked into staying as well. He just doesnt seem to have that much fight about him. Would rather be comortable then push himself. I dont really blame him for that. But it...

    Hes still young and a fine back up. I agree I dont want him starting though. Doesnt offer enough in the final 3rd for a conte wing back.

    Arguably the target that can most do with a full preseason may well not get one then.

    The Naming Rights Thread

    Except you often are not buying ownership, you don't have any legal right to the thing you have purchased. You just have a receipt with your name on it proving that a transaction was made. I mean it is a recipt that in theory could prove ownership it's just that a lot of the purchases are just...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - Happy Birthday Bulletspur!

    Not really a like for like Kane replacement. Certainly not a Conte style no 9. For me if we buy him it seems like we want options to go 2 up top. But yeah if w get him the only formation that will fit all our best players would be a 4-2-4... oddly Conte used to play 4-2-4 in his early lower...

    That makes sense then. Surprised other big clubs weren't faffing around aside from us and arsenal. I guess there are other options and all that and isn't a marque signing. He does also always play utter blinders against us so feels pretty marque for me!

    Kante plays for a side with way more of the ball though and in a double pivot. So you would expect the defensive side to be less in numbers then a player which plays for a team with less possession alongside a box to boxers and a more attacking minded midfielder. I Mean Kante out does him for...

    The quoted fee for Yves Bissouma. 25-30million that's like 10-15 mil less then I think he is worth. Quite surprised by that really.

    Lets be honest from 25milion now you couldn't buy an attacking player to warm your bench. Our biggest transfers are skewed because we just haven't made that many deals recently and player inflation is huge. Granit Xhaka would be our second highest all time transfer on that list! (Arsenals 7th)...

    I think he was bought with an expectation, at least from fans, that he is a passer who knits play up. But hes not that and never has been. He is more of a ball carrier who is able to hold the ball and drive it forward. I actually think part of the problem was buying him and ndombele together...

    Allan Saint-Maximin

    5 goals and 5 assists almost all in the first half of the seasons when teams were attacking Newcastle creating space in behind and one v one situations a player like him can exploit. He loses the ball a lot. 2.6 dispositions a game. Thats about twice as much as Adama Traoré who has glue on his...

    Allan Saint-Maximin

    I really don't rate him. I think he's a fun, flair, player but not a particularly effective one. The utter drab that Newcastle have been churning out for years makes his little bit of quality seem far better then it actually is. We need more players who can change games from the bench. I would...

    I fully agree. I just fancy Argentina to do really well at the WC. Tempted for a cheeky bet on them winning the thing. I could see his value rocket up.

    He must have hit the post a few times. Hes so good at those last minute curlers sailing wide at the last minute of an embarrassing 1-0 defeat.

    Cant wait till next world cup when half the board will want him back after absolutely crushing it for Argentina. If this was a normal world cup year would have been great to wait till after the world cup to sell him. Can see him at a proper big club in a few years. Would try to get a sell on...

    Filip Kostic

    For me its a no brainer. Attacking wing back that is a goal scoring threat that is ready now bought on the cheap. We could actually end up with more money after selling Reguilón. Always question marks about a player adapting to a new league but Sessegnon is growing in confidence so would not be...

    ENIC...

    Yeah I think they have simply realized that the value of Tottenham as a Champions League Club is much higher then the 150mil they have to spend to try and keep them there. We scrapped into the CL this year. 3 seasons without CL football and we risk the CL football being the blip.
