    I think that we'll be back in for Sessegnon sooner rather than later and might even look to pick up his brother, too.
    The other player to keep an eye on is Luke Shaw. Utterly out in the cold at Utd, but he was Pochettino's pet at Southampton.
    His contract's up in the summer, though there's some sort of option for another year.

    Is the option for the angry, little Portuguese bloke to continue to reduce his value by £10m per season? If his contract was any longer, they'd have have to pay us to take him away.........like a fridge.

    Spurs wage bill ( £120m) for the 2016-17 season
    was 45-60% that of the usual suspects (somebody
    is seriously overpaying wages for mediocrity
    and slackers) .

    Cannot be arsed to do the data analytics on
    all those clubs, but the salient points are :

    1. the wage bills

    2. Spurs are managing injuries well enough wrt
    their rivals

    3. Conte can STFU about Chelsky injury crises

    I read something in the ES that in addition to the obvious
    moronics of having reduced public transport + public service
    personnel already thinly stretched on that day for the
    midnight revelry, there is also the issue that TfL provide free
    travel on that day (so even more encouragement for people
    to attend the game) .

    I've also heard that there's some issue with stadium staff that's being kept under wraps.
    Basically, it's a stupid idea and it needs to be shifted as quickly as possible, but they don't want to admit it.
    I assume that some other poor schmucks would have their game moved for TV as a result.
    Everyone knew that this was a major problem when it was announced.

    Pilfered from the Standard

    Former England defender Chris Powell joins Tottenham scouting team
    Former England defender Chris Powell has joined Tottenham’s scouting team.

    The highly respected coach has been working for Spurs on an ad-hoc basis, scouting players in Britain, but he is not expected to join the club on a full-time basis.

    The 48-year-old has been out of work since leaving his role as Derby’s assistant manager in March and his last managerial job was at Huddersfield, where he spent 15 months until November 2015.

    Powell made 667 appearances for Charlton, Southend, Derby, West Ham, Watford and Leicester.


    So I give it a month before a hatchet job claims we're standing in the way of BAME coaches.

    This is also one fewer game for Kane to catch and pass Shearer's record of PL goals in a calendar year.

    Hopefully this doesn't lead to headlines about Poch sexually harassing our supporters...
