Not sure, he has good contacts at all clubs. Dunno if you're referring to Ornstein in the first part of your post but he moved to the Athletic ages ago.
Nah.
We really need to play someone who can create chances alongside Lo Celso & PEH. The hope is that its Ndombele but won't be surprised at all if its Lo Celso & PEH in a double pivot and Dele back in the #10 spot.
Nope, the other bloke who for the most part has been publishing shite since he went hard with his original story. Another quality journo to be added to the roster at the Athletic.
Yah.
Why is this a thing? If the deal genuinely is in the late stages why would the journos closest to the club be briefed to say it's not close to happening? The report will have no effect on the deal itself (as that's obviously all going on behind the scenes) so is it just to save a bit of face with the fans? Even that seems pointless to me as the fans will still feel the same way regardless when the deal goes through. Or could it just be bad/late information?
I have no idea, the over the top secrecy in regards to transfers is odd to me when it compares to American Sports reporting.
The blokes who cover us seem like decent guys, but whenever I listen to their Spurs podcast they never strike me as especially insightful and, while they clearly have their sources, they don't seem to be that great. It feels like I'm just listening to some eloquent fans chatting about Spurs rather than journalists. I actually found the insights and opinions of the old Cock On Ball podcast much more engaging and original (which really was just 2 eloquent fans chatting).
Reminds me more of Khedira than a pure holding midfielder. He's even played as the most advanced midfielder for Southampton.
He doesn't score much but I'm sure I've read on here that he's had far more shots on goal than Winks, despite ostensibly being So'ton's deepest midfielder most of the time. Not sure if that says more about him or Winks tbh.
