Summerville, Bowen, Diouf and Fernandes are the names that people suggest will probably be picked up.

They are good players but don't think they play in positions that are a priority for us. Bowen at 29 wouldn't be helping reducing our age profile either.

A lot more PL quality players at a good age in the Spurs squad, granted injury prone and temperamental most of them. All with scope to improve under a top coach like Emery. Van der Ven, Porro, Udogie, Bergvall, Gray, Kulusevski, Kudus, Spence. Would take Kulusevski and Van der Ven for sure.

Wan Bissaka too, decent alternative to Cash..... better than he's given credit for.

Bowen hasn’t looked that good this season either. He’s looks a bit slower than he used to.

After we smash Spurs tomorrow we should offer the £12m for Archie Gray. Get SJM to have a word with him.

Not sure that would work, he's declared for England.

I rate Kudas alot but speaking to a  spurs season ticket holder last night Madison is fucked ,, so maybe cov wil give him a match to match contract .   Bergvail might be a decent signing and please leave Conor Callagher in the championship.     SHame west ham fcuked up today as Spurs will have  alittle lift but they are still shite.

I wouldn't be totally against the idea, but West Ham's good run of form (until today) completely coincides with him being dropped.

Even down to their one defeat (to us) being the one game that he was brought back for.

We definitely need a plausible right-back option adding to the squad (if the two or three previous punts are being sacked off), but surely it should be someone younger than Cash to eventually take over (a la Maatsen), rather someone of the same age who is probably not quite as good as the current version?

AWB is rubbish, no positional sense (constantly caught on back post) and as average on the ball as Bogarde. Man United spending 50m on him and whatever on Sancho was peak insanity.

Exactly. Tell him to sign or he's off to play for Scotland, the big traitor to the Gray clan.
I like him as a player but would have preferred him to have been Scottish. Those bright lights of London, media darlings, I bet he's become a right twat.

There's a reason the Tottenham badge is a cock.

Strongly agree here.

AWB is defensively solid, but really poor going forward. That really doesn’t work for our style.
