    The transfer thread

    I don't think there is a limit to how many under-21 players a club can use. Even if they haven't been with the club for 3 years. The 3-year requirement will only factor into whether their status is "club trained" once they are over 21.

    Doesn't look like we're in the conversation, which is a shame. Athletic reporting similar. According to their writers Connor Gallagher is very likely. Here's an excerpt from what they call their "DealSheet." These were the lines that stood out in DealSheet: Arsenal’s interest in RB Leipzig...

    I hope he's not another Ndombele type because then we'll all be clamoring to be freed from Desire. I'll go get my coat.

    Spurs new investment

    It's not going to keep going up indefinitely, though. At some point it will level out and then increase very incrementally, unless we make several big money signings all at once and don't sell anyone for any significant fee. But I think we already are at the "leveled out" point, what with the...

    Spurs new investment

    Getting to the next level is not risky if you are doing it in a financially sensible way. But it also means it takes much longer. And also bear in mind that there will be setbacks and the progress will not always be linear (e.g. hiring the wrong manager). I would rather be in our position...

    Spurs new investment

    True on both counts. But even within a ESL the more successful teams will be more valuable. And the more successful teams would be able to charge more for direct streaming. The value growth potential becomes so much bigger when there is success on the pitch and consistent challenging for the...

    Gil is not the first one I would call out. Ndombele, Spence, Biss, even Sonny (I mean I'm sure he can work on his first touch ffs) are ones that come to mind.

    Spurs new investment

    That's a fair point, but football clubs are a bit of a different animal compared to your regular business entity. Their value is intrinsic, rather than calculated based on NPV of future cash flows. Much like a painting, that doesn't really generate any income, but still appreciates in value if...

    Spurs new investment

    Winning is the motivation factor. But it's a very long game with multiple phases. First you stabilize the finances, then you try to establish yourself in the the top 5-6 teams, then you build out the finances (e.g. stadium, commercial agreements), and then you invest more for success on the...

    New Kit?

    Meh. Too busy and the blue sleeves, please... That being said, the last season we had a kit with more pronounced blue covering the shirt we had our all-time high PL points haul. So maaaybe might end up being a lucky kit?

    Djed Spence

    Pity it didn't work out. He'd have been decent backup for Pedro

    Onana for £40m would be great. That should take care of the DM need. Not sure if Everton would sell for that price, though.

    If you were to ask for a definition of "model professional," he would be it. If the rest of the team had only half of his mentality...

    Spurs new investment

    The mindset is not incompatible with the issue of actually winning. Once you get Spurs to where they are now, the only way to increase the club's value in any significant fashion is to also be successful on the pitch. That is what will boost brand awareness more than anything and increase the...

    Spurs new investment

    You can't just throw around a £1 billion debt figure without putting it in context. The £1 billion in debt is tied to the stadium. An asset that generates a steady and increasing revenue stream that services said debt and more than pays for itself. That's a far cry from debt incurred by other...

    Decent signing for Villa. He was arguably Luton's best player this seson.

    There's a long-term plan, apparently. 🤣 That being said, if they offload Chalobah to make room, we should be all over it.

    What's amazing is the money they donate for the bs they get served and no one can see through it. Reminds me of Trump supporters.
