    Son Heung-min set to sign new contract as Tottenham drop major Gareth Bale transfer hint

    If Son signs a new deal that would be a massive boost. Like many others I've felt very downbeat re prospective appointment of Fonseca and likely sale of Kane so this good news is gratefully received. Just hope that he does indeed commit to new deal.

    Edinson Cavani

    Have always thought that Cavani is very overrated. Needs a lot of chances to score a reasonable number. Ligue 1 suits him, especially playing for PSG. I don't think that the Prem would.

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 1st February 2016 THE FINAL DAY!

    Well we've a pretty strong team and squad and may well still get top 4 or even challenge for the title if Kane stays fit and in form. But cover/support for Kane is the glaring weakness in the squad. We had a month to sign a good striker and much longer to line one up. Hugely disappointing that...

    Think a good additional striker could consolidate top 4 or even give us good chance of the title itself. But it has to be a striker wanted by Poch, not foisted on him. Hence I think it was right not to sign Austin. I think he could have been a good signing but Poch didn't. End of. The only 2...

    Saido Berahino

    I make you right. The way he took yet those 2 goals yesterday shows exactly why Poch wants him. He has the quality to help us cement top 4 and even challenge for title. Worth pushing the boat out for but we won't. Thought Kane looked very jaded yesterday. Needs support and also rested in...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 27th January 2016

    Looking increasingly likely that we'ĺl sign no-one before the deadline. We are apparently bring sensible not paying big for likes of SB or MD. All very laudable but another good striker could cement top 4 and even see us have real tilt at title - worth paying big for that IMO. We might never...

    Gallas, Bentley and Bostock all released

    Gallas did well when he first joined with some very good performances (eg v Milan, Arse)m Ultimately age caught up with him and his legs went but his attitude was always good. Bentley was a signing which I was very excited about at the time but it just never really happened for him - massive...

    Soldado

    Consistently good scoring record in a good league and Valencia are in need of money with massive debts and failing to secure a Champions League place. Think Soldado is exactly what we need and will almost certainly be sold this summer so we should be pulling out all of the stops to sign him...

    So I just saw Sol Campbell...

    Sol Campbell didn't just leave us for a stronger team, he left for our bitterest rivals when he had plenty of other good options, he had0also portrayed himself as Mr Spus and lied repeatedly about his intentions. He let us all down big time and I'll never forgive him.

    Kalou isn't good enough to start regularly for a Chelsea team who have been struggling -sometimes good off the bench but not often enough and that isn't a good enough reason to sign him. Pav has sometimes been effective coming off the bench but I'd still sell him. We want an upgrade on Pav -...

    Who will we sign first?

    Think it will be Defoe -partly wishful thinking though as I never wanted him to leave, I think he's better than any of our current strikers, and Harry always gets the best out of him.

    David Bentley v Aaron Lennon: Dilemmas and contradictions

    Lennon has no end product - no point in beating a man or 2 if the cross or pass at end of it is poor. And he possesses zilch goal threat (one goal I think last season). He can beat a man and has great pace but without end product that counts for nothing. What concerns me most is that I can see...
