    Player Watch Player Watch: Timo Werner

    Part of the issue with Werner IMO is that he looks like he's *this* close to being a superstar. The number of chances he misses, the number of times his final ball isn't quite right...with just a little bit more composure, he'd be one of the best in the league. Understandably, people judge him...

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Just as likely that he's exposed in a better side IMO. He wouldn't be required to make that number of tackles, so other, weaker areas of his game would come to the fore. FWIW I think Palhinha probably falls into that category too - he's brilliant at what he does, and in the right system there...

    2023/24 - The Race For..................

    United are shite. They managed to get by for a few years after Fergie, a lot of teams playing scared against the idea of 'Manchester United' and 'Old Trafford' rather than the dross in front of them and the decaying brickwork around them. But the scales have fallen from everyone's eyes now...

    Spurs Youth Thread 23/24

    The papers this morning are running a story that City are looking at Tyrese Hall. Will be interesting to see how that goes, a good test of just how attractive we are for young players. Having never really seen anything of him, I just had a look at a few clips on Youtube. Obviously the usual...

    Formula 1 and Tottenham Hotspur agree partnership that will include new indoor karting track below stadium

    I feel like we're about two years away from being included on the Merlin annual pass.

    New Nike Kits 23-24

    I honestly think that third kit is the worst kit in our Premier League history, possibly in the whole of the Premier League. It looks like a dishcloth that has been used every day for 40 years.

    Gomes: I refused to play for Spurs after Harry Redknapp dropped me for Brad Friedel

    I look back at the Gomes era so fondly, he was the essence of Spurs in human form. Capable of ludicrous brilliance and utter, abject incompetence, often in the same game. In fact, sometimes in the space of 20 seconds or so: The entirety of Spurs' history during my lifetime, condensed into...

    What Our Opponents' Fans Are Saying About Us 23/24

    That last paragraph sounds quite clever as long as you're not willing to spend two seconds thinking about what it actually means, which is...nothing. This account crops up every now and again and it's always the same story, a classic intellectual fraud who thinks being able to write well is the...

    Evan Ferguson

    You can never be sure, even the most obvious of talents has to overcome a million hurdles when moving club or playing at a higher level. But he seems to me like he has huge scope for improvement, and (just as importantly IMO) you aren't just paying for potential because he's already a very good...

    Alfie Devine called up to replace Bukayo Saka in senior England training

    He hasn't been called up to the squad, just brought over from one of the other pitches for a training session to make up the numbers. It's still a big deal in that it gives him a chance to make an impression training alongside elite players, but for context another Spurs youngster, Dylan Duncan...

    Player Watch: Hugo Lloris

    Hasn't bothered him the last five years.

    Troy Parrott set for shock Eredivisie move as Postecoglou makes Tottenham stance clear

    It's a shame that he had so much hype as a kid, he was never likely to live up to all the noise surrounding him and, on the face of it, a youth team player getting regular Championship football and a possible move to the Eredivisie is an achievement to be celebrated for both the player and the...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 10th August

    Not seen much of him over the past couple of years, but the link with Schuurs is very exciting/terrifying if he still plays the way he did at youth level. He's the ultimate risk/reward centre back, John Stones with the dial turned up. On the ball he treats centre back like it's the Riquelme...
