I’ve been really enjoying our work in the window so far but I’m not into Balogun as a signing at all. Gooner and not that good is a horrible combination.

Had such a wonderful time at The Extra Inch live show last night. Though it was very late night for a sleep deprived old man. I eventually got to bed around midnight and my daughter woke me at 4:55 saying ‘daddy… poo… daddy’. 😑

I love this more risk averse response to injuries, very refreshing
Here's every word Roberto De Zerbi just said with a Mateus Fernandes update, his talks with Lucas Bergvall, what he thinks about Luca Williams-Barnett and that penalty, why other Spurs players were absent and plenty more. www.football.london/tottenham-ho...
I said on @theextrainch.bsky.social this week I think Donley could be a useful lock unpicker to have on the bench, when you see him against our other midfielders you can really see the enhanced passing ability he offers, albeit so far against poor quality opposition.
Touring squad. WC players get additional time off (though not Bergvall?). Kudus, Simons, Kulusevski and Odobert - rehabilitation. Vicario ‘sustained a minor knock’ 🤨 Byfield and Olusesi reportedly injured, though Olusesi I believe is also about to be sold. Sousa must be on the cusp of a move.
S11E4 Tottenham Glow Up With the World Cup finally over @barditei.bsky.social, @nathanaclark.bsky.social and @windycoys.bsky.social focus on Tottenham's players coming home. theextrainch.co.uk #COYS #THFC #Spurs
Daniel levy is the reason we’re able to have a window like this and also under Levy we would never have had a window like this. The Levy Conundrum.

So far this window we’ve seen how our execs operate with much blanker cheques in terms of fees and wage structure and we’ve been purposeful. But that’s the easy bit. We’re about to see what we do when there’s a hold up.
I’m nowhere near as high on Kinsky as many of you but can’t help but feel so delighted for him after what he went through. What a story.
Can’t believe I went out to bat for our transfer policy on the pod last night and an hour later we are spending £80m on another above average 8.

We've not released our player update yet (released players, academy extensions/pro contracts) and the suspicious part of my wonders if it's because there are some contract negotiations ongoing. For reference, last year we published it on 31 May
I am doing some prep for our squad review pod this weekend. This is a visualisation of the age profile of the squad that I include in our notes. I'll share a similar one on contract length when I have updated it.
I think we’re going to sign Harry Wilson and I think some people are going to be furious about it and some people are going to think it’s an amazing signing. I’m somewhere in the middle on it, knowing full well that centrists are the worst.
Which surprising player exits do you think we might see this summer? I’m not talking about the ones we all know and constantly discuss leaving. One that will make you do this.

Relief. That we are safe, that the season’s over, that I never have to watch Kolo Muani in a Spurs shirt again.
I’ve just been to see a completely existential Rob Auton work in progress and it’s made me feel a lot better about the match 😂
Tbh I do think serious questions need to be asked of De Zerbi re continually picking Kolo Muani. I know the alternatives are few and far between but there are alternatives. Rarely seen a player play as bad for as long and keep his place. Spence RW Sunday please.
Sort of ridiculous how much better Maddison looked, after a year out, than our other front third options.
