    Fifpro World XI: Harry Kane the only England player on shortlist

    Says the 55 players are contracted to 9 clubs, then lists 10 clubs, and doesn't even list Tottenham either. They single out various players who have recently transferred (Matic, Mbappe) to acknowledge the playing time has been for a different club but for whatever reason Lukaku has no reference...

    Anthony Martial

    If the leak is accurate, I imagine it works such that the 50% is a cut of Martial's sell value between 60m and 100m euros. E.g. If he is sold for 65m euros, then Monaco are owed 50% of the amount between 60m and 100m, e.g. 50% of 5m = 2.5m.

    Conte Questions Spurs Ambitions..

    Ultimately he's not wrong about spending money and expectations. Personally, if we spent £100m this transfer window on a couple of players (not to mention the wage cost of employing superstars) to really improve the first XI my expectations for the coming season would be higher than if we...

    Vincent Janssen

    Yup. 17m was not even 'big' money when we signed luka and sold Carrick. It is not exactly spare change but you should lower expectations regarding the transfer fee. You must consider the wages in any deals too. Transfer fee is just a part of any deal.

    What our opponents' fans are saying about us 17/18

    Unfortunately Liverpool and to an extent Chelsea typify the type of team that we struggle against the most and it's also what hurt us in Europe against Leverkusen and Monaco. The midfield and forward lines work hard to win the ball back high up the pitch and then the counter is immediately on...

    Crystal Palace Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    Would like to see son on. We lack width on the left. Walker is providing it on the right but his distribution hasn't been good enough. It feels like we aren't direct enough but to be honest we have tried they are just heading the ball away too easily and then, and this is the big one, picking...

    What our opponents' fans are saying about us 17/18

    We all want Arsenal to be on the wane and it's true they've had a bad old season by their usual (high) standards - let's not forget recent FA cup successes and a 2nd place finish LAST season. They're obviously not the force they once were and they've struggled in both the acquisition of top...

    Barkley willing to move to London

    Winks could be a great player and I'd love him to emulate the style of Modric but he doesn't really operate in the final third in the way Eriksen or dele does, hence Barkley offering that different kind of threat.

    Barkley willing to move to London

    I would say he offers more genuine competition than anyone else in our current squad to compete with dele or Eriksen in the starting line up. Perhaps there are better options out there though.

    Player watch: Toby Alderweireld

    Since we're going down memory lane... Carrick above Victor. Mmmm

    Liverpool Vs Tottenham: Match Thread

    We can't win every game. Anfield with this Liverpool team is always going to be one of the toughest fixtures we have so I think the amount of negativity we see in the post match is a bit too much. We aren't a side that is used to sitting back and soaking up pressure. You, or we, the...

    Luke Shaw

    Luke Shaw is a fantastic prospect and when he has had a run of games his talent has been clear for all to see. The obvious issues are fitness, transfer fee, wages and squad status. These last two seasons Danny has been utterly brilliant so you could only consider Shaw as an understudy if we...

    The changing face of scouting: How Spurs signed Toby Alderweireld

    He was also really really cheap

    Eric Dier

    Vw is backup to dier not the other way around. I think the reason Vw has been kept on in games this season is because he can do more box to box than dier and we have been chasing games trying to score.

    Harry Kane

    Last season his early season form was terrific but without goals. His touch, bringing others into play, chasing down defenders and closing down the spaces I their half...ovrrall contribution to the matches was excellent. This season start has been very different. As others have said...

    The England Thread

    Dier the only midfielder passing through the lines which is good to see. Refs don't comment on it but Rooney and Henderson endlessly ping it backward or sideways. More into the feet of lala and sterling will be good. Problem is they need the cam nearby for quick passes but Rooney is keeping...

    So the team moving forward

    Appreciate where you're coming from here but I do mean weak, not weaker. By that I mean yes I don't expect to have a squad option who is as good as Toby or Dembele however the backups are so far from their level it scares me. When you think about the other top sides out there, you mention...

    So the team moving forward

    We look really really weak if any of the following are unavailable: Alderwereild Dembele Alli N'Koudou is completely unknown so reserving judgement on LAM. CCV and Edwards not done anything at senior level. Amos in there too seems unusual. Feels like a really missed opportunity to not bring...
