    Tough to call how we’ll line up, but I’d be surprised if we hand VDV his debut this early.

    It's been a long time since I listened to a Spurs managers briefing without thinking what does that really mean but this guy is a breathe of fresh air , let's hope it is a fresh start

    Can't see VdV starting , more like a place on the bench , we're not going to get a clear view of Ange' vision until the window closes and hopefully another CB and a striker , if PEH goes an upgrade on him as well would be desirable

    The squad is huge as it is, and we only have 1 game a week. I can’t see any additions until loads have been moved on. - which is a monumental task in itself.
    Sadly, I also think the Kane money has been spent. So in terms of reinforcements, I think we’ll do a deal for Lenglet, but I’m struggling to see who else we’ll bother buying. As fans there’s a few we’d love to see, but I just don’t see us spending the money.

    Based on the PL state of play come midway, it may be
    worthwhile trying to do winter business for new players,
    with a view to such players joining the next summer.

    Just saying, a two-goal win would dump the Bottlers out of the top four after one match played and ruin their weekend

    Just to be clear: that's advice to Spurs players, not Brentford players...

    If the club’s shop is anything to go by, numbers of players are:

    Maddison - 10 (grabbed that quickly! <laugh>)
    Solomon - 27
    Phillips - 35
    Veliz - 36
    Van de Ven - 37
    Udogie - 38

    Edit: And Spurs have now just literally confirmed them.

    Micky thrown straight in.

    Skipp wins the “who will be the third midfielder?” battle.

    Well Richarlison, it’s a year later on but time to start paying back that £60m investment, please.

    Need him to massively up his goal output.

    Dier not even in the squad. Hope springs eternal.

    Getting rid of that lumbering oaf would cheer me up immensely having lost Harry.

    No Forster, is he injured?

    Dier not even in the squad, along with Tanganga, Reguilon, Spence and Ndombele. That might be why he’s deleted all of his spurs related stuff out of his social media bio, lol.

    I think thats the team a lot of 'us' would have picked I thought Scarlett might have made the bench. Looks clear that Dier and Reggie (and Ndombele) are totally out of favour which is of no surprise to any of us either.
