Does he? Us Spuds are a healthy bunch, unlike take away demolishing fans of other teams I could mention.

Some lame gossip and crap.

Holtby is sporting a Lamela for some reason.



I'll leave it to Mick to translate this nonsense about Eric Dier.

Ade didn't die of malaria or whatever he had. I heard that malaria is responsible for half the human deaths in history.



I'll be sad to see Carroll go. Hopefully they feed him some spuds to bulk up.

Sandro looks to be on the way out.

Lukaku went to Everton. I see them as Spurs rivals this year for 5th.

More Schneiderlin drivel.

The most reliable story of the day? This.

Schneiderlin not for sale is just code for more money please.

As we know with Bale/Modric if they don't want to be at a club there is very little you can do to stop it.

He was obviously promised a move after the WC hence the tweet.

Isn't it the case that if Spurs don't meet the fee & Soton turn us down, MS sticks in a transfer request that protects Soton from paying any more on his contract so the transfer fee goes up - Schneiderlin wins.

I believe that deal with putting in a transfer request is that the player forgoes any bonuses etc that are due to the player....they may even forgoe the normal % of the actual transfer fee itself.

Makes sense that it costs the player otherwise it would be much more common than it is.

Danny Rose has signed a new contract.

Excellent, another 5 years.

A serious question, as opposed to a moan.
You know when you get these people like Naughton and Rose that managers seem to love and retain where as the million fans who watch them each week think they are irredeemably st.
Why such a difference of opinion on the same player?
What do the managers see that we don't?

They must be 'Messi' like in training and just have off days at the weekend.

If they are on low wages maybe its a case of having a known quantity on the bench. Without seeing their contracts its hard to judge.

I'd agree with that...a half decent back up that won't kick up a fuss that has the physical attributes to be much better.

If he can be coached then you never know.

I suppose so. But if I were a left back for Spurs I would be 100% loyal, I would train at 100% of my ability , I would do exactly what I was told, when I was told it and I would work for comparatively no money. If that is their criteria - why not give me a job on the bench?

Another thing with Rose to consider is that he is versatile anywhere up & down the left flank., if he's not going to kick up a fuss about not being first choice then i'm all for keeping him,

Eric Dier spotted at Lisbon Airport




I know nothing about this chap we are about to sign, Sounds like another type of player we simply cannot resist, young, cheap & a prospect.

Didn't Nice But Dim have the highest win % of any Spurs manager? There is every chance it will be worse than last season
