    Player Watch Player Watch: Brennan Johnson

    They take different spots. Gil will be competing with the 19 other 'foreign' players for the 17 spots available. There's space for Johnson in the minimum of 8 spots for home grown players as our 9 in that list include Whiteman, Austin, Sess and Spence. This is the biggest reason why I think we...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th August

    So we send someone who is mates with people connected to reportedly the biggest drug cartel in Europe to Rotterdam, the main port city of the Netherlands and the largest port in Europe.... Joking aside, I like the loan. I think more youth players through the English academies need to take this...

    Tosin Adarabioyo

    Yup, although our CBs didn't deserve to be defended last year the options for them to pass to when on the ball was atrocious. Thankfully we actually have movement now and willing relievers

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    Bissouma, Sarr, Skipp, Bentancur, Maddison, Lo Celso. That is solid depth. Yes we could miss 2 of them in Jan/Feb for a few games but that's where we need to be more trusting in bringing youth in and playing minutes. They have to get a chance at some point and if it isn't going to be when we...

    One Hotspur + on sale time for tickets

    It's ridiculous if they can change the Time of games after general sale tickets have been sold. Shows zero consideration to fans that have to make travel arrangements for example. But anyway, that's the price to satisfy the tv gods

    Player Watch: Pierre-Emile Højbjerg

    AFCON runs from 13 January to 11 February and thanks to the winter break it won't be as big of an impact as it was in the past. But there are some big fixtures here. Perhaps we could get lucky with AFCON fixtures and ask them to travel after the United game. Jan 13th away to Man United Jan 30th...

    Gift Orban

    I would happily accept us spending less if it meant using transfer budget to get movement on getting rid of players. It would leave us in such a stronger position to recruit in Jan or next summer

    Gift Orban

    Foreign; 20 (3 over the limit) - Vicario, Lloris, Romero, Van De Ven, Dier, Sanchez, Reguilion, Porro, Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, NDombele, Bissouma, Lo Celso, Perisic, Solomon, Son, Gil, Kulu, Richarilson The reality is that we have a lot of foreign players taking up squad spaces. Lloris and...

    Aymeric Laporte

    I've never watched him or Man City that much other than we played him. But I do recall when he was a regular always thinking we had a chance when lining Son up against him as we always seemed to be able generate chances by running in behind him. Having said that he is undoubtedly better than...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Micky van de Ven

    For the 10 years leading up to the new stadium our net spend was generally around even. Since the new stadium we have seen a jump but it doesn't look like it's resulting in 100m net spends each season. It's been roughly around 70m for the first 3 seasons. Last season it was around 130m and this...

    I had presumed he wouldn't be on the flight regardless due to being away on under 21s duty.

    Oscar Gloukh

    No he isn't, unless you're aware of something that nobody else is. But if he's good enough that we want to play him in Europe in the 24/25 season then we will likely have moved other senior foreign players on.

    Oscar Gloukh

    He's under 21 so for the PL he wouldn't be counted as a foreign player. So it's not really an concern here. Although theoretically next season if we were to be in Europe he would though

    Harry Kane

    I don't see any indication that Kane is going to extend his contract. There would need to be a pretty remarkable turn around in the football before he would change his mind. I think Ange is a good appointment but I can't see that sort of change happening in 1 season. I don't think it would be...

    Harry Kane

    While I admire the optimism about not needing the extra 90m come next summer the reality is that transfers don't always work. So the extra budget will always help to smooth that out. GK and CB are such important positions so even if we focus this summer's budget on it, we might need to do the...

    David Raya

    Of course. Which is why it is a good thing that Raya is significantly better with the ball than Joe Hart.

    David Raya

    Joe Hart has been able to cope with Ange's system so I'm sure Raya will be more than good enough with his feet.

    Player Kyogo Furuhashi

    Maeda works hard but is a bit lacking in quality too many times in order to take the step up. Kyogo is a forward with probably the best movement I have seen. But you wonder if he is maybe a year or 2 too old for a PL club to take a gamble. The other that I would keep an eye on is Jota. He's a...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    Of course we will. But that won't change until there is significant changes in Levy stepping down or new owners buying the club. Both of which is very unlikely from what we can see. But that doesn't excuse Conte from also doing a poor job. But there's a chance that the new manager can start...
