    Pochettino approached by Man Utd

    Levy would want a fortune to release him to a rival.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all wonder what's going on at United?

    The alternative is them getting Poch. We should be mounting a disinformation campaign supporting Mourinho's candidacy, not engage in this sort of reckless truth telling.

    Top four finish?

    The attention will be massive on them, and they won't be used to it. Kickoff times shunted, world media there, going to be interesting. Long waits between games isn't always ideal, either- I don't remember it helping us back in 05-06 when we had a 40 game season.

    What our opponents' fans are saying

    They are owned by a billionaire, same as us and City.

    Tottenham Vs Watford: Match Thread

    I agree that we'll never get a better chance, or at least this side won't get a better chance. Don't think there is the will at Chelsea to spend £250 million, especially with the new ground to fund, and with a stellar academy unused.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

    Commercially, they kill us and will for a long time to come. Ings and Clyne would make the same choice and opt for no European football given the wages on offer.

    Let's All Laugh At... Let's all laugh at Liverpool thread

    They are a very rich club who outbid us on wages for Clyne and Ings and whose income will grow next year with the new stand.

    Top four finish?

    Depends what you mean by seriously. If Eriksen, Dier and Kane play Europa League this year, then Spurs will be back in it next season.

    He'll be 32 come the end of this contract.

    Top four finish?

    I both agree with this (that the chance is a rare one), but also feel that it's a lot harder to buy success than is generally made out. There is an interesting chapter in Soccernomics about the percentage of transfers that succeed (it's very low). There is a reason why Wenger buys one player per...

    Details of Bale's Transfer from Spurs to Real Madrid Leaked!!

    I think if Bale leaves Madrid at 31-32, we'll have a very good chance of re-signing him.

    Going the distance this season

    I would genuinely pick our B team to play Barcelona in the CL.

    Shane Long

    Not sure that the rest of the team is coming up short in terms of goal scoring. If Eriksen or whoever took the penalties, they'd be there or thereabouts 1st in the league for goals excluding top scorer, wouldn't they? We need a focal point for midweek games and to allow Harry to rest. We could...

    The Daily ITK Discussion Thread CHRISTMAS EDITION

    Actively seeking a buyer means lowering your asking price until you find one. I don't believe for a second Lewis is doing that, nor do I believe that the value of the club is likely to fall any time soon. He might well have put it out that he wants £800 million (say) to sell up but I can't see...

    What our opponents' fans are saying

    With 4 years on his contract, they would need Kane to strike, too. That said, north of £100 million and with them having paid off Harry's agent as they allegedly tried to do with Bale's in the summer, it could happen. Even so, they will need to finish above us, and have no competition from...

    Kane back up

    Transfers are always paid in instalments, and no one has the cash flow to do otherwise without massive private equity contributions. It is the amount, use of conditional elements and the timing of offers that is the real issue. If we had offered 40 million paid in equal amounts over 5 years on 1...

    Top four finish?

    Mahrez and Vardy are on track to get 60 goals between them. That is possible but you'd expect them to regress much closer to the mean.

    Harry Kane

    Clearly, it would be better to resign him for a longer period, but essentially we only have to worry about him leaving for nothing prior to 2018-19 when he will still have two years on his contract. Given that Eriksen, Dembele, Vertonghen and Lamela will all only have two years or less on their...
