I been well happy with our transfer business but now I’m thinking we need about another 7 signings in the next few days!
5 subs and squad depth really gonna be tested here though. This is where Conte’s gonna need to earn his dough and some. Injuries are no doubt going to disrupt things along the way but my theory to this congestion would be to look at making around 3 starting XI changes per game and then maximising the use of 5 subs in each game on players that will have started a consecutive game. That can then potentially allow 8 players at any given game to not have to play a full 90 mins and overly risk fatigue. Far easier said than done of course but this is why we’ve been building a squad, every single player’s gonna need to play their part.
Whisper this VERY quietly indeed : only ONE of Spurs pre WC 2022 games (the NLD) has to be rescheduled to sunday.
Seems like it's been a while since someone made it to this landmark. Does he get a testimonial now or is that not done any more?
Just a reminder that Frankfurt tickets go on sale to season-ticket holders tomorrow. Members will be able to buy them from Friday. Tickets are priced as Category B.

The Coca Cola 'partnership' arrangement is also occurring with Juve, PSG, Liverpool and Bayern. That's some pretty exalted company to be grouped with in marketing terms. Well done to Todd Kline and anyone else involved.
Just a reminder that season-ticket holders can buy Sporting tickets today. The Frankfurt game is open to One Hotspur members, who can also buy guest tickets. Sporting tickets go on sale for One Hotspur members on the 7th.
On this day in 2012 Hugo Lloris made his first start for Spurs. He broke Brad Friedel's remarkable record run of 310 consecutive Premier League appearances. This spanned three clubs: Blackburn, Villa and Spurs. It started in 2004.
