    Dani Alves

    Interesting.... though it is the Daily Star, one must point out! Does have some sense... proven winner, and would allow us to sell both Trippier and the waste of space that is Aurier, and still have KWP and especially Foyth as cover, ensuring that Alves will be judiciously used for the big...

    Who are the leaders in the team?

    I am scratching my head thinking who are the leaders in the current team who can pull up their teammates by their socks in bad times... not too many options come up. Kane - of course; maybe Dier? Toby at a long stretch... After that the cupboard seems very bare. No wonder the mental collapse...

    Do we have a witch's curse?

    Must admit that sometimes, especially after games like two weeks ago, it does feel a bit like that... Maybe magic does hang over Real Madrid, the game’s greatest club dynasty Barney Ronay Again, this is not an attempt to criticise, but a comment on the basic idea of meaning in sport, that...

    Kevin Gameiro

    I know it's from the Sun TOTTENHAM are plotting a last-minute raid for Atletico Madrid’s Kevin Gameiro — to give Harry Kane some badly-needed help. Spurs have tipped off the striker’s camp that they would be interested in a loan move if the Frenchman is not sold. Gameiro was a £25million...

    Swap with Sissoko? http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/747071/Tottenham-Everton-Transfer-News-Ross-Barkley-Moussa-Sissoko-Ronald-Koeman-Schneiderlin Looks a bit like lazy journalism to me but must say would be tempted by it; especially if we can get Zaha in the summer...

    I get the ever increasing feeling that Lamela and Eriksen risk becoming for us the equivalent what the Lampard and Gerrard combo was for England. Both extremely good players but who - irrespective of where you play them - end up gravitating to exactly the same places on the pitch, getting into...

    “Everybody in the club, all eyes on us, all eyes on us"

    Now, I accept that - even having lived a year in N17 during my student days - from more than 2000 kilometers away, I can never really understand all the nuances of the local rivalry across North London However I still remain baffled by the complete fixation among so many of our fans on Arsenal...

    Illaramendi

    If he is really available for 15mill euros, it would be a steal. This guy is a class act in DM. Can we at least ONCE get some benefit from our past "special relationship"??? Tottenham transfer news: Asier Illarramendi told he is surplus to requirements at Real Madrid SAM LONG Monday 24...

    You'll win nothing with kids...

    ... and for all the criticism Lawro has received, he was and is absolutely right! Because the likes of Beckham, Neville, Scholes and Butt came into a team of leaders. Pallister, Bruce and Irwin at the back; Keane in midfield and Cantona up front. Look at us yesterday. Where were the players...

    Ratings - Stoke

    Lloris: 7 Two excellent saves and no at fault for either goal Walker: 8 MOTM - best player on the pitch. Was constantly isolated against two players yet still coped well Toby: 6 Decent but no more than that; rush of blood for the penalty - what a f**** rash challenge! Verts: 6 Not solid by any...

    Moses - can he lead us to the promised CL land?

    He's been linked more consistently than some players with threads on this forum. Yet (probably in hope) no formal posts.... Tottenham's Victor Moses chase steps up as they launch £8m bid 22:30, 16 JULY 2015 BY JOHN CROSS Winger who's spent the last two seasons out on loan is a potential...

    Who else would you sell before the end of the transfer window?

    With Kaboul and Stambouli almost out of the door, who else would you sell before the end of the window (limited to those linked in the press and excluding Lennon who is a goner for sure):

    Casillas

    Now the red top journos are really scraping the barrel.... Wouldn't touch him with a 50ft barge pole. The guy would be crazy to come to England and whoever buys him will need shooting. He's lost the reflexes that made him such a good shot stopper and he was always worse than a vampire in...

    Why can't we close a game?

    For someone who is so opinionated, I am totally at a loss! I can't remember a single league game that I felt comfortable watching in the last 15 minutes. Liverpool, Arsenal, even Southampton have had countless games in which they were able to cruise the last quarter of the game in peace and...

    How many players in our squad are consistent top 4 quality?

    To me: Lloris: that's a massive YES from me - world class Walker: for all his critics, to me it's a yes Fazio: no Verthongen: would love to say yes but honestly only does it sporadically Rose: no Bentaleb: I would say yes Mason: much to my regret, I would say no though he can produce some...

    Should we go to three at the back?

    Have we finally grown a pair?

    I know it may be costly in the coming weeks but it was great to see the lads make niggly professional fouls to stop Everton, especially in dangerous counterattacks. How many times in the past have I screamed at the TV: "pull him back!!" only to see the opponent run unchallenged into our box...
