    Conor Gallagher

    If he did join it would be because the Chelsea owners are forcing him out (probably for FFP reasons) He lives in the same village as me. Whole family are big Chelsea fans apparently, he lives ten minutes drive from their training ground and , as you say, seems to be highly regarded by Poch.

    Eric Dier

    Good points. But I would also point out that when he played as a holding dm, most of that time he was playing alongside Moussa Dembele, who was an exceptional talent and, in my opinion, vastly underrated outside of our fan base. He sure made things easier for Dier

    He was playing with an injury for much of last season

    Barcelona vs Tottenham Hotspur (Joan Gamper Cup) 19.00 Tonight

    It says something about Mourinho and Conte that they didn't even play him regularly, never mind get the best out of him. I loathed us playing 3-4-3 under Conte

    Barcelona vs Tottenham Hotspur (Joan Gamper Cup) 19.00 Tonight

    The problem with Lo Celso having a good game tonight is that it will encourage Xavi to bid for him even more - he is a fan of Lo Celso already according to reports

    Joe Lewis and insider trading

    Joking aside, you could be close to the reality. I have been told in the past of someone's experience of interacting with Levy that left them with the definite impression that he had to refer to Lewis on anything significant.

    Harry Kane

    The idea that Levy runs the business with absolute authority is totally at odds with what I have heard originating from a couple of sources (including a London based football journalist) .

    Harry Kane

    I am not so suprised - have heard from a journalist source that Levy cant do anything of any significance without the ok from Lewis

    Player Watch Player Watch: Micky van de Ven

    It would be great news and I hope that it happens, but Marcel Schafer, the Managing Director for Sport at Wolfsberg, has been quoted in the last twenty four hours as saying that that they have yet to receive any offers for VdV. Is this just semantics - i.e. they are discussing terms to get to...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    If he is still here for the Everton game it will confirm that Levy is more interested in money than football

    Nicolò Zaniolo

    Given that we can add a maximum of three players to the CL squad, leaving us one left, and the news that Skriniar could be sold as he has refused to sign a new contract, is it possible that we are exploring the chances of landing Skriniar before committing to Zaniolo? I would have thought that...

    Player Watch Player Watch: Pedro Porro

    In one sentence, that is the central problem for me. Levy puts his own ego in negotiations ahead of the footballing considerations and building a team. Money before football. We are being charged a premium price for our season tickets - we have a right to expect that Levy at least does his...

    Ex-Manager watch: Antonio Conte

    I agree. On Sarr and Bissouma (and the other central midfielders) it is hard for them to shine when Conte insists on playing 3-4-3 and leaves the two midfielders outnumbered by the opposition playing three. It was pretty clear long ago, but the Villa game and Sunday really brought it home -...

    Harry Kane

    He has become a big problem. His movement off the ball is atrocious and is a major reason that we look so uncreative. The West Ham centre backs hardly had to break into a trot to mark him - must have been their easiest game of the season. He neither frees himself up to offer a target nor...

    Harry Kane

    Or that someone has come up with players in exchange that would be of interest to us as part of an overall package. Given the economic climate, that must be a possibility. It may be fanciful, but an offer that included Laporte, Ake and Jesus from City would address some issues in the squad

    Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread - Game 37 - KO 6:00pm

    Poch had Dembele, Eriksen, Walker, Rose and Vertonghen in their prime, plus players like Wanyama who while less skilled, would give their all. He recognised when they were getting past their best and a refresh was needed. Levy didn't back him up. (The importance of Dembele in our good times...

    Match Threads Spurs vs Villa - Match Thread - Game 37 - KO 6:00pm

    Spot on and Winks encapsulates nearly all of our problems, plus a few more (like tracking an opposition player when he makes a run). I thought that Alli tried to compensate for Winks being a passenger by helping Hojbjerg, but he is not equipped for that type of role. He is a bit of a luxury...
