    Eli Junior Kroupi

    Think just the Graeme Bailey article in the Evening Standard, which mentions that PSG have moved off Kroupi to finalize Ferran Torres, and Spurs now feel 'confident' about the deal. Pretty slim pickings given it's Graeme Bailey. I'm not convinced by this kid - he has the raw tools, but there's...

    Conor Gallagher

    I keep seeing people writing him off as just a squad player. I really think folks are going to be surprised by just how much he plays next season - and by where he plays. Because he's not going to play as a deep-lying midfielder - he's a No.10 by trade, and it's where he'll play, imo...

    Djed Spence

    CSV = VdV once autocorrect is done with him lol 😆 I don't think Gray should be pigeonholed as a right back, nor do I think he'll be happy to be one after a season spent in his preferred position at centre midfield. If we sell Spence, we have to buy a right-back. Unless we find one that's...

    Djed Spence

    Udogie - LB Robertson - LB Davies - LB Souza - LB CSV - can play LB. You're completely right that we have a lot of LBs. What we won't have if we sell Djed, is a right-back to rotate with Porro. And buying one will cost about as much as selling him will make - at least in this market.

    Djed Spence

    I don't think him going allows us to spend on anyone, because we'll need to replace him. And I can't imagine a replacement costing significantly less than the 40 we'd get selling him.

    Rafael Leao

    He could be good mate, or he could be crap. But I'd caution against thinking de Zerbi will unlock something that couldn't be unlocked by one of the greatest clubs in the game in AC Milan. In seven years there, he's cycled through managers ranging from Stefano Pioli to Sergio Conceicao to Paulo...

    Xavi Simons

    Towards the end, this was what impressed me the most. Ultimately, you will get knocked down in the Premier League. Bullied, bulldozed, brushed aside, sent tumbling. Everyone goes through this. What matters is, you get back up. You don't stay down moaning, you get up and you steam right back...

    Djed Spence

    And to be clear, I have not seen anyone here ever say the sort of brick I've seen said about Djed on Twitter. You lot are all good eggs, and I'd die on that hill. But GG sadly isn't the entirety of British social media in 2026.

    Djed Spence

    Be glad you aren't on Twitter mate. Loads of folks there who abuse him every single week because of being a) black, and b) Muslim. Not trying to get political, but the overlap between those geezers (if they're even real and not bots), and the folks who vote for Rupert Lowe's dog-and-pony show...

    FIFA: Destroying Football Since 1904

    I'm glad Balogun did the honorable thing by sitting out the game. :p

    Confident, black, and in Djed's case, Muslim. Don't underestimate how much that gets some people's backs up.

    Transfer thread

    Lol - I know it's out of left field, but I'm serious mate. Watch how he plays, for Switzerland or Freiburg. He's often much more of a winger, either cutting inside off the left or hugging the touchline. His versatility and intelligence means he can play everywhere, but I think he's thrive as a...

    Tottenham Hotspur Stadium - Licence To Stand

    Absolutely. And promoters take concert-goers' opinions into account. Football demand is inelastic, both home and away fans will generally show up because their team plays there. But events venues compete on a number of factors, with accessibility being a pretty big one, since a Beyonce fan won't...

    Transfer thread

    Just to say, for that left-wing spot, none of the options linked (Savinho, Kroupi, Marmoush, Leao) are super impressive. But one out-of-left-field signing I'd welcome - Johan Manzambi, from Freiburg. Yes, technically he's a central midfielder. But he can play all over the park - Freiburg have...

    Rodrigo Bentancur

    Frankly, I think he's one of those we might move on now we've locked in Tonali and Fernandes. Right now we've got 6.5 midfielders for two positions - Tonali, Fernandes, Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall, Gray, and Gallagher as the .5 (I say this because I think he'll end up being played as our #10 a...
