    Seems a good chunk of people just realising quite how good Kane is on Twitter. It’s not like he’s suddenly re-invented himself, he’s just left Spurs. Been a top, top striker for a good few years now, just Spurs being Spursy.

    I’m gonna be honest, Raya’s agent saying that stuff does not make me any more endeared to Raya. Just seems a whole mess of a deal from start to finish. Does he make our team better? Maybe? Marginally? And margins are all that there is at this level? But is that marginal improvement worth the adaptation period, worth the nonsense from Sky and the rest, worth the 3M already paid plus the 27M we’ll be paying to make him permanent?

      Ramsdale, with the way he’s being “treated”, will probably leave before the summer(that includes January)

    Brighton have tied down Evan Ferguson. I must say I’m perturbed by how well they’re setting themselves up, as much as I enjoy it. This league is only getting tougher.

    Tottenham lost Van De Ven and Maddison to injuries. They’ll be out into late December and into the New Year, respectively. Son will be leaving for the AFC Asian Cup. Sarr and Bissouma will be gone for the AFCON Cup of Nations. It is safe to say there is no way they’re gonna survive December, January, and possibly February.

      We’re kind of in the same boat with Øde, Partey(injury and AFCON), Tomi (losing him to Asian Cup)…the difference is we maybe have some depth. I remember the Robbies talking about the Spurs don’t have depth and that’s why they might not be contenders, low and behold…

        We have the depth to do well against most teams coming up. Our toughest opponents are Liverpool on 23rd of December. By then, I expect Odegaard to be back. Partey will be replaced by Rice and Tomi can be covered by Zinchenko and White. We have way more upside than Spurs. By the time the FA cup starts, they’ll start burning out their bench players.

    Siiiiigh. Partey had some sort of surgery it seems? Sounds like he’ll be out for the rest of the year. And then AFCON next year… We might never see him play for us again, at this rate.
