    None, apart from Marmoush. My point wasn't that we should buy a striker, it's that if we want to give Lankshear a spot, the only safe way is to swap out Richy for Marmoush. Which is unlikely - so my broader position is, don't buy a striker this year. The market's crap anyway. Give it a year...

    Will Lankshear

    Yes and no. The forwards in the PL now were once unproven players from abroad, true. But the luxury of bringing in promising players from abroad is available to teams who can afford for those gambles to fail, as most do. For every forward who makes it here, there's a couple of big money flops...

    Will Lankshear

    Because you're losing 10+ Premier League goals a year in Richy, for a side that finished 17th and an eyelash away from being relegated. The reality is, any moves we do are going to have to be calibrated against the reality that even a slight worsening of the side probably sends us down. We need...

    Needs a big of smart squad management, but in principle we should make that space. Specifically - if we bring in a Prem-proven wing-forward who can deputize up front, then you could sell Richy and give Lankshear a shot in reasonable confidence as Solanke's backup. If it works, great - if it...

    Honestly, brilliant announcement video. Hats off to the young man, and the club for making it a simply human moment.

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    True, but with a caveat imo. Him running Arsenal is absolutely irrelevant to me. Kane was in their youth program for a wee bit as a kid, Gallagher's a Chelsea lad, and so on. As long as you're professional and keep your Goon connections to yourself when you're on the clock (and represent the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Yes. What I'm saying is, Mr. Byrite was hopelessly and quickly outmoded by the sheikhs, gangsters and American new gilded age billionaires that swept in after him. And the club suffered for it - we were running a discount clothing store model, up against nation states for whom haggling over the...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    100%. And it's indicative of the evolution of Prem owners, or former Prem owners. Jordan spends his days being a devil's advocate on talkSPORT, usually where washed up ex-pros go. Alan Sugar rants on Twitter, David Sullivan phones call-ins about West Ham on the regular. This was a class of...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    Well, I'll hold off on congratulating the lot currently in charge until the window closes and we can see what the success/failure rate was. But I 100% agree that dear old Dan doesn't seem to realize his approach, and his time, has passed. He's a smart guy, so I doubt he genuinely thinks Spurs...

    Daniel Levy - Former Chairman

    As I've said before, Levy ran us like he ran his Mr. Byrite discount clothing store, the only other life experience he had prior to Spurs. Always had to get the best deal, even if it meant haggling for months and not getting the player the manager really wanted at the end of it. That worked...

    I'll take being safe by matchday 37 this time. ;)

    J P van Hecke

    I've been thinking about what this transfer reminds me of, and I think I've got it - it reminds me of Redknapp's first transfer window, in January 2009. What struck me at the time was just how un-Spurs-like it was. After years of Comolli's data driven transfer strategy, and Levy's predilection...

    The Game Is About Glory Podcast

    Finally got to listening to last week's pod - have to say chaps, you knocked it out of the park. @thfcsteff - I could have listened to that 'fudge all of y'all' rant for ages mate. Continue it at your leisure this summer. :D

    Vinai Venkatesham - CEO

    To be fair I think that would be the case even if he were dead.

    Morgan Gibbs-White

    If anyone thinks Marinakis would let him come here, after all the nonsense he pulled last summer, I'm sorry to say you're almost certain to be disappointed. He isn't a businessman that sets a value and sticks to it. He is, fundamentally, a murderous gangster (literally linked to murders and...
