    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Agree with this, I was keen when we were linked with him last summer. He's been on excellent form so far this calendar year too, with 12 goals in 12 games and finding the net in at least 1 out of every 2 games: And nicely there's a distinct lack of assists in there, which is what we want...

    Eberechi Eze

    I think he's the ideal player for us in that he can cover both positions. So in Son, Maddison & Eze we would have 3 very strong players across LW and AM. That then still leaves room for bringing in say Werner and another wing option for the right to compete with Johnson. For me Deki will have...

    Arsenal

    To be fair Poch inherited a squad with: Lloris, Walker, Vertonghen, Dembele, Eriksen and Kane in it. That's one hell of a spine of players and I think it's fair to say each one of those players is the best player we've had in that position in the 10 years before or since 2014.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Yep this is definitely the grey area. Most online sources have our player wage bill at around £120m for 22/23 season, yet as you say that's less than half the reported amount of wages in our accounts. Obviously the little bald fella gets a fair wedge, as does Ange and his team, but I would...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    100% wrong as of right now. The only rules currently in effect are the ones that have been for several years now. There was however a meeting last week where clubs agreed to progress talks on supplementing these rules with new ones that align with the UEFA squad % rule which you've mentioned...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    The losses come from the Stadium and other infra projects connected to it and the club, which don't come into FFP calculations. The latest I've seen on this since the 22/23 accounts were released is below, basically if we get CL this season we have nearly £650m of FFP headroom this summer...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    The easiest way to think of it is that each player we have has a cost on our club accounts. If we buy a player for £50m on a 5 year deal then each year we own him he depreciates by £10m. So start of Season 1 his on the books cost is £50m, start of season 2 his cost is £40m and so on until the...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    That's good, undervaluing us would do us a lot of damage. But also he's a business man first and foremost - this is/was a detriment to us when he gets/got involved in footballing matters, but there's no-one else I'd want running the business side of the club apart from Levy right now.

    Tottenham looking at Hugo Larsson of Eintracht Frankfurt

    Agreed, but with European football next season there will be chances for them. We need more midfielders in this summer with PEH off, Skipp looking like no a major part of Anges plans and questions over Bissouma consistency.

    Surely that’s Benzema as he’s wearing the no.9 shirt?

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Have you seen the prices of hotels in central London lately? You’d be lucky to find anything half decent for less than £200 per night and that’s assuming there’s not a major sporting or other event on. I imagine the club will be sensible enough to create some “football packages” - I.e. tickets...

    Financial Fair Play (general thread)

    I can’t see there being any pre-Boehly action being taken other than fines. But I can see the PL coming down hard on post-Boehly violations.

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Yeh agreed. Basically the cash for the infrastructure from an investor means that the club can continue to spend its own existing revenue streams on players without having to dip into that pot of cash to fund the infrastructure. Also it sounds lot more fiscally responsible and attractive to...

    Tottenham Takeover Talk

    Capital projects, like a hotel, become massive revenue streams for the club, yet don’t count against us when it comes to FFP / PSR. In order to continue to be amongst the top clubs in the world and have continued stability we should be creating as many revenue generating capital assets as...

    Financial results – year ended 30 June, 2023

    The hotel for one, due to be 30 stories and up and running well before the 2026 WC. There’s also the new women’s training facilities. Both of those two are large capital investments. Hopefully what this means is that we are seeking outside investment to provide cash injection to support the...

    Financial results – year ended 30 June, 2023

    Presumably whether we get CL or not will make a big difference given there's a sizeable uplift in CL revenue for next season.

    The England Thread

    LOL. Bellingham is the best player in the world right now in his position and there's a good argument to make about Rice, albeit maybe he's more like top 5. Between the remaining options of: Gallagher, Maddison, Mainoo and TAA there's enough quality and versatility of playing positions for...

    All part of Levy’s master plan for negotiations this summer: “take my first offer or you’ll end up getting points deducted like Everton & Forest”. 😉

    Technical Tour

    I've been on a version of this and it is very good. To be fair pretty much everything tour wise at the stadium is a cut above any other stadium tour in the UK.

    How would you like our starting 11 to be

    Maybe, maybe not, I don’t think we know that definitely yet. But if that is the case then he’ll need to adapt as it’s not a sustainable method in the PL.
