    I think Real will definitely monitor Alli but I don't think they'll bid just yet, for me he's still a bit too raw to go Real. Real were monitoring Bale for about 18 months/ 2 years prior to coming in for him so I think it'll be similar with Dele. Or at least I hope so anyway.

    EDIT:

    As for the new stadium, I think we'll be able to somewhat "easily" cover the costs over the years thanks to the money in the Prem these days. Every team's picking up £85m just as a basic, let alone finishing position bonuses, potential Europe money, merchandising sales etc and so on.

    I didn't actually know that Barcelona were after Coutinho. I'd say that he and Eriksen are different players though. I think Coutinho would be better in their front 3 and Eriksen in their middle 3.

    Alli will be an interesting one. I'd say that he might be seen as Ronaldo's understudy considering he's 32 now.


    Gray will not be here unless we sell Riyad IMO. I personally don't think he's good enough yet but he's incredibly exciting to watch. Would be nice to see what he can do if he's given a starting role week in week out though.

    Chilwell is being carefully managed. He'll take over from Fuchs in 2018/19 IMO. He's got a lot to iron out before he can be trusted week in week out but I think a left wing back role is perfect for him. He was awesome against Atletico Madrid.

    The handling of the Lamela and Rose injuries has really peed me off. Admittedly I know next to nothing about medicine or sports science, but I don't recall this ever happening to a Spurs player. Months on end out 'progressing nicely' only to decide in the 11th hour that let's do surgery after all. FFS why not just do the surgery in the first place? Are there injuries that are really that hard to guage properly with all the modern technology at our fingertips??

    Like I said, both have been really strange and to the best of my knowledge unprecedented. Like waiting on a platform for a train that is repeatedly delayed only to be told after 3 hours that it has been cancelled due to a fault on the line that happened 3 hours ago. What the hell is the point??

    Tashan Oakley-Booth has been taken to hospital following a head injury sustained in an international game against Turkey. I hope he is ok.

    The Lamela bone is connected to the hip bone.
    The thigh bone is connected to the Ledley bone.
    The ankle bone is connected to the Dembele bone.

    Now hear the word of the ... Spurs physio room.

    Apparently no Trippier or Walker for tomorrow either due to concussion and ankle sprain respectively.

    Walker-peters to start?

    Alderweireld has played right back for Belgium many times?

  15. Back 3 of Toby, Jan & Ben and try out GKN on the left? Risky, but at least might help identify whether he has a future.....

    As a wing back? If so, who is on the right, or do you mean GKN as part of a back 4?

  18. As a left wing back - haven't thought through the right yet. Some will probably say I haven't thought through the left either!!! <laugh>

    These injuries are doing my nut in. So glad we've got nothing left to play for as we're really down to the bare bones. If KWP is indeed away on Ingerland duty, I'd go for a 4 at the back with Dier filling in at RB - he played there quite often in Poch's first season and didn't do too badly.

    I suspect that the absence of Lamela this season has been the most costly
    for the PL campaign.
