Another feature of Ange's time at Spurs, right from his actual signing, is the consistent initial cry of "I don't know him, he can't be good enough." I think this just highlights how limited, we as fans, our knowledge is. We have a tendency to become fixated on a name and become adamant that he is the player we need, when there are other lesser known players who potentially meet our needs better. This has become a constant theme of Ange's time with us and highlights how he looks and approaches many things in an unconventional way. He's different! And that can make many people feel very uncomfortable. But it can also make the journey even more exciting.😀
Ange has said all along: ‘I prefer to get two £50M players than one £100M player.’ And things like ‘Young players are easier to mold into the system, it’s easier for them to bounce back physically, they have less baggage, and fewer habits to break.’
Ange is instituting a change of culture at Tottenham . He’s building a young technically- brilliant core of players who will be well-drilled in Angeball. We are talking about achieving sustained success over a long period of time.
I'm all for it as long as you can retain them and we don't become like Dortmund where we just sell them once they've developed and never win anything. And then young players with promise start using us as a stepping stone. Are we going to be able to re-sign Bergvall when Madrid comes calling? probably not. Hope I'm wrong though.
Exactly. A lot of the squad Lange built at Villa weren't exactly big names and they very quickly excelled. Fans just want big names through the door. I personally don't care who they are as long as they can perform. Proven PL players need to be our priority (we've been stung too many times dipping into the French league) and this window is certainly showing we're preferencing proven young talent.
The focus on youth is very welcome, it’s a great way for Spurs to consistently compete given we don’t match the stupid wages of other clubs .. thanks Ali looking forward to Monday!
Then it’s only reasonable to write off the season. See you back in 4 years in the hopes that this “project” will turn good. Imagine giving Conte and Mourinho slops and saying the “now” doesn’t work so we got to go with youth.
@@Narodov1 Why is that reasonable when a ball hasn't been kicked in anger? It's not a binary situation, there is no reason success can not be achieved as you develop and progress. The squad is much stronger this year, you would expect progress from season.
@@barneyhall2753 squad is “stronger”. But which new transfers competes with the starting 11 that can be almost like for like in terms of quality? Argueably it’s the 9 but that’s it, and that’s not much improvement when you are talking about Solanke for Ricky. And when other top 5 clubs are progressing much faster because of their ambition than spurs, it doesn’t matter the progress of this club because its offset by the likes of Arsenal getting timber back with Califiori or ManU getting De ligt. it’s not a zero sum game. If you think the process of building the squad with Poch back in 2014 through 2019 and winning f all is worth while because atleast we got the “experience” of Amsterdam, then you got the club you deserve
I’m more than happy us with going out and getting these youngsters. The problem with a lot of older players, they’ve lost that playground spark when playing footie. Well, they’ve had it beaten and moaned out of them. Footballs become so robotic recently, it’s good to see ange get the young talent that still has excitement in them, easier to mould to his style and they’re more likely to take a risk. That with anges encouragement will be great to see…fingers crossed🤞🏻
Ali, I have to admit I laughed out loud when Ange said you worry more about the squad numbers than he does, I also feel he wouldn’t banter like that if he didn’t like you. I think this surprise signing demonstrates how Lange works, he keeps things low key and controls the deal, he seems like a very shrewd guy who knows what he is doing.
If Ange has banter with you, he obviously likes you. He obviously likes Ali and Ali the same.. he respects him and likes the chat. Ali gets off on it, too, it's a deeper connection than your standard journo. It's a very Australian style connection to outsiders.
With all the incredible young players we have now I hope I can live long enough to see the return of the glory days. The young supporters have no idea what our club was like back in the 60s and 70s. I love this club and thanks Ali for all the news.
I dare you to tell Ange all about your runner up player of the tournament trophy next press conference, and then quip: "So if any areas the team are still looking a bit light, I'm available mate".
You’ve just gonna trust the way Ange is building this squad. It maybe a case of the next manager bearing the fruit but don’t underestimate the fearlessness of youth. Enjoy your weekend Alasdair.😊
Hopefully big Ange stays around long enough with us to watch all these youngsters fulfil their potential. We definitely need a number 6 though to help the defence, but i think Dom will stop a lot of crosses coming into the box as he's good in the air
Keep it up Ali, fav Spurs Videos and Updates 💯 A lot of negativity across the fan base on insta and twitter, but personally, I think this window and season is looking bright! Cant wait for Monday COYS
Spent £130m so far. BUT could generate £100m in sales from Hojbjerg, Royal, Parrott, Rodon, Lo Celso, Reguilon, Solomon maybe Skipp and Forster. Not exactly busting the bank to completely overhaul the squad for the Ange generation. We could easily spend another £50m and keep within FFP rules. As always #COYS
Its because those players didnt have interest or didnt want to leave. Clearly. Ange has said the WHOLE time that 'incomings will be contingent on outgoings'.
My partner can’t wait to fall asleep to your dulcet tones later as i watch from my side of the bed. Can’t wait to watch myself, thanks ali hope you’re well!
Thanks Alasdair for great video as always. As you say I bet those minority of fans moaning over Odobert signing are the same ones moaning about how we missed out on Eze when in the Championship. And fully agree about Emerson, anyone who willingly plays out of position because the team needs it, and he did well, and is so bright in the dressing room deserves full praise. Will miss his beaming smile in future training ground videos. Biss was stupid but he also needed a real kick up the backside and he now has to use this opportunity to sink or swim in the last chance saloon that he's chosen to walk into. Will he be Clint Eastwood or the extra who gets chucked out the windoqw to land in the horse trough?
I really think a lot of the haters around the signings we’ve made this summer will be served up a huge slice of humble pie at the end of the season. If you’re hating on Odobert then you clearly didn’t pay attention to him last season. One of the few positives for Burnley. A very exciting signing
We appreciate what you do. The majority here are because we support the team. We want to know about player numbers and loan deals and how they get in. There are too many sites who still think Toney would have been a good deal and playing £60m for eze is what the club needs. Keep it up.
In Australia the building of young talent in a team at the same time is a great recipe. In every season 2 top players leave under salary restrictions and they have replacements of a similar ability. They always have a very strong two teams as the squad.
Hello fellow Spurs fan! I’m actually watching from hotel room in Bangkok! (Love your country and people) Back to UK tomorrow in time to watch Leicester game
I think we should try to hijack the Gallagher deal. There’s a lot of uncertainty between Chelsea and Atleti, and we managed to not spend that much on a winger. I think Gallagher is an underrated player, and we know Ange is a fan of him.
A good signing that fits the mould of the new look young spurs, I don't think big money signings is the way forward for us, signing players with high ceilings for smaller price tags is what has worked best for us in the past (13:00)
A nice surprise to wake up to 😃. Thank you Ally. I liked Ange’s response to your home grown question, a few people seem to be worried about it. It is what it is. It will be fine.
Goldilock, I heard your question to Ange about the challenge of selecting our European squad. He replied like he's been watching your channel 😂 He said you seem to worry about it more 😂😂😂
Some spurs fans just want known names. Anything else and all the complaints start. Let’s wait and see. Thanks Ali. PS. Ange has always said it’s not all about the price He must have had the Postacoglou call.
I don't get all the bellyaching from a certain section of Spurs supporters vis a vis signings. They do my head in. What would they say if they were Man City or Liverpool fans? The Cityzens (whatever) first team movement to date consists of one incoming, Savinho, and three outgoings. To wit, Julian Alvarez and Sergio Gomez have been sold, and Yan Couto has been loaned out. Meanwhile, Liverpool's only senior transfer activity so far has been the sale of Fabio Carvalho to Brentford. Arne Slot looked embarrassed when quizzed about it during this afternoon's presser. Yet somehow, City are still expected to win the league and few if any doubt that Liverpool will secure a Champions League spot. If that was us, the Levy Out brigade would be parading outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with placards singing "We want our Tottenham back!" for the benefit of Sky Sports News' cameras and making a beeline for anything that vaguely resembles a microphone. They need a reality check because all they do is piss people off with their doom and gloom.
When saw the Instagram post of signings at first presumed was spurs academy making announcement- but was at burney game lasts season and when watched RUclips video of him realised I remembered him and said during game that he looks good
Hello Mr Gold, I'm really looking forward to this season. I have a favour to ask: if we win any trophies this season, could you create a new opening, like a heart pose or a celebration? And if we do win, please make sure to design a new fun thumbnail!🎉
You are so horizontal….its hilarious…..its Gold…..I’ve been in the Solanke camp 🏕️ for months so I’m happy 😊 What a season ahead and keep your yarns going 👏❤
Can't believe how negative some people are . They must be miserable everyday nothing will make them happy. Wait and see what the season turns out to be , then you can make a comment on the signings.
So you're not allowed to have higher ambitions and want some more established names to come in because you want to see Spurs trying to close the gap? That's negative thinking?
I agree, but they're allowed to have their say as much as anyone else. What I find most interesting about them is that many appear to be reflex, canned responses made without any thought or consideration.
@@daniel-j-harrisPeople who moan wanted Neto and or Chiesa. We don’t need overpaid players who is injured all the time. We should learned from the Sess and Richy situation. Don’t sign sicknotes.
@@NittyGrittyRed It’s not about two specific players, it’s about wanting to see Spurs act like a big club and sign some top players that instantly elevate the first XI. That’s not a negative thing to want. I agree about Neto/Chiesa. We should be doing better than both of those.
Thanks, Alasdair for the video. I have to admit that I know very little about Wilson Odobert but we have heard this story about a young attacking midfielder/winger who is going to be a star before - notably with Adel Taarabt. Obviously, time will tell with Wilson but is he really better than the players already at the club? Anyway, Manor Soloman will definitely need a loan move now. Talking of which, I see that Dane Scarlett only came on in the 90th minute for Oxford United tonight. Hopefully, there will be plenty more minutes to come as he settles in and as an Oxford resident, I will hope to catch some of his games at the Kassam.
A youthful team - GK Austin 25 RB Porro 24, RCB Dragusin 22, LCB Van Der Ven 23, LB Udogie 21 DM Gray 18, DM Sarr 21 RW Johnson 23, CAM Bergvall 18, LW Odobert 19 ST Solanke 26 Vuskovic 17 & Min-Hyuk 18 to join in January 2025
Double raid on Boro for Van den Berg & Hackney or a double Dutch raid on the championship for van den Berg & Wouter Burger would fit our current recruitment pattern. Not massively experienced but they've got huge potential.
OMG, Ange, if you're watching this, give us a sign! 🤣🤣🤣 I thought they were going to do a Castaway-themed Odobert announcement, but the one they did was even better. That kid is very talented, I've got a good feeling about him.
Just to say (as an Ipswich fan who enjoys your content!) I don't think it helped Dane that Spurs decided to cup-tie him a day or so before moving to us so he couldnt gain the cup minutes to impress!
His flippant response did crack me up when you asked that Q in the presser, knowing full well you were going to ask that and how much you'd covered it.
I saw PSG offered him a pro contract but he decided to leave and play for diff French team so seems like got good sense as realised with Messi Neymar Mbappe etc wasn’t going to get game time so chose diff club and then sensible move to Burnley to get game time and now deciding time for next step up to a team top end of prem and hopefully being attitude of youngsters were already got that they believe will win league at spurs
As I've commented on other fans' pages, Odobert is a tricky player. He gave us loads of problems in the cup game vs. Burnley back in January. He has experience in the PL, plays for France, so hardly an unknown acquisition like some fans are making out.
Great video as usual Ali you are always cool calm and collected. Had to laugh at your interaction with Ange at the presser. I think he’s got a soft spot for you. Was looking thru my thirty odd Tottenham shirts today my prized one signed by David Ginola. Hoping we have signed another Ginola we are so back to being Tottenham again and Ange is responsible. Sure id like an Eze or another big marquee signing but we can’t say that Ange hasn’t been backed I’m sure he sanctioned these signings to fit his system. With new investment coming next season then maybe we go bigger the club is in great place financially and love or hate him Levy is responsible for that. Before a lot of fans complain they should look at other clubs financially. We are building it was never going to happen overnight show some patience as well as passion for your team.
bissouma has had a fair chance to impress, but I cant remember even one motm performance. if he is sold this or the next window, he can have no complaint. but he will not be sold as ange favours him. he plays the ange way.
Tottenham fans thinking he's average, trust me he's way better than you think he is. I was researching how Burnley played out from the back in trying to compare it with how Southampton play out from the back as sort of a metric for our chances of staying up (I am a Southampon fan as you probably gather). Odobert stood out to me as someone who was playing at a level completely above the majority of his team, was always making things happen and his stats don't reflect the performances he put out. He'll be one of if not your best players in seasons to come and I'd go as far to say he could still play a big role for Tottenham this season.
Ali haven't had so much time lately to watch all your vids but i always at least click in, let it play a minute and hit the like button. Will you babysit my kids so i can binge watch your vids?
Thank you for the video, Alasdair. Having looked into Odobert today, I think he’ll be a great signing. His dribbling ability seems like a perfect fit for one of the winger positions. Based on your comments, I agree that spurs could still use a midfielder and a defender/LB. There have been some links to Locatelli, which would be interesting. I also wonder if Mario Hermoso is looked at, since he is a free agent and at CAA base. I’m curious to see what further outgoings happen
got to admit when i first hard we had signed Wilson i truned the air blue, but after doing some digging im changing my mind a bit just have to see what happens with the lad
We can have 5 subs a game. Wingers and forwards can run their socks off, get replaced by a next round of fit, competent players with pace who will do the same until the 110th minute.
Watched the Luton Burnley game this morning. Kid looked pretty good. Had a nice dribble and pass to set up the first goal and really took his goal well, great finish
Hi Ali, love the insight as always. I really agree with what you said about our scouting getting closer to the Brighton model, finding the next superstars. I do see why people would be worried with the lack of 'marquee' signings, but i think the main reason the brighton scouting works so well is because the young players play every week. We cant have young talent and marquee players and still expect the young players to develop like they do elsewhere while sitting on the bench. I personally think it's incredibly exciting, and points towards sticking with Ange for the long term to head this project!
yes I'm loving the revolution and all the young players were bringing in, it is exciting but please remember defending is so important and if we sort that out which for me is top of the list I really will be excited.
Alasdair I agree with you. A lot of people are underrating our team, and I think a lot of people will be surprised. Besides the top 3 we have the strongest team and we have a bunch of talented, young players that can play the Ange way. And, of course this is second season Ange ball, and history shows that’s when things click.
Thanks for another thoughtful video Ali. A glimmer of light in the darkness! And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person who's been wondering what a 'marquee signing' is. I thought maybe there's a tent somewhere with a lot of expensive footballers in it.
Spurs have players that *can* play on the wings yet Odobert is the first true winger that we have brought in that looks like he can play the role ange wants. None of our wingers have the skill he has to take on a defender without relying on their pace. Very exited to see him play!
Have Spurs received any interest in our youth players? City and Chelsea, for example, sell youth players for big fees every summer. I'm curious if lower PL teams have inquired about any of our players. You'd think as much as everyone goes on about them, there would be some 20m or 30m bids? Selling a few youth players for big fees could fund an Eze.
Hi Ally, these kind of transfers are like the way Spurs operated in the days before the internet,, I am going back to the 70’s when we were always at the forefront of buying and selling players e.g Martin Peters and Jimmy Greaves.
I'm not surprised that they are trying to deals like this because Chelsea would probably have swooped in. I think the announcement was to make sure we could register him before the 12:00pm deadline yesterday. I also think that Eze for £65m+, a transaction which would blow the spending structure as well, is not really worth it. He is a great player but he doesn't actually solve an issue in out attack which is an out and out right winger. I will stress I think, Manu Locatelli or Matt O'Reilly could be the midfielder that we see coming in....
Spurs have snapped out signings so quick. Odobert wasnt even talked about or linked yet Spurs got him. I wonder if this means Kulu will get a no 10 spot and cover the no 9 role. Spurs are well set for the next few years an I'm sure Ange has planes. Bissouma for me is fast becoming another Dele or Ndombele. His form dropped so much last season now this. His position is under threat. Will be interesting to see what happens to him as the season goes on. What ever happens I know Mr Gold will cover it .
Thanks Ali… and no need to keep apologising to the Insta-trolls who understand nothing about life and development. Just keep the optimism and real world view, we don’t need to pander to haters 💪🏻

And then young players with promise start using us as a stepping stone. Are we going to be able to re-sign Bergvall when Madrid comes calling? probably not. Hope I'm wrong though.
They've been rebuilding for 24 years.
He's doing a Chelsea with a quarter of the budget and 10 times the focus. It's a winning formula, IMO.

You are so horizontal….its hilarious…..its Gold…..I’ve been in the Solanke camp 🏕️ for months so I’m happy 😊
What a season ahead and keep your yarns going 👏❤
Can't believe how negative some people are . They must be miserable everyday nothing will make them happy. Wait and see what the season turns out to be , then you can make a comment on the signings.
So you're not allowed to have higher ambitions and want some more established names to come in because you want to see Spurs trying to close the gap? That's negative thinking?
I agree, but they're allowed to have their say as much as anyone else.
What I find most interesting about them is that many appear to be reflex, canned responses made without any thought or consideration.
@@daniel-j-harrisPeople who moan wanted Neto and or Chiesa. We don’t need overpaid players who is injured all the time. We should learned from the Sess and Richy situation. Don’t sign sicknotes.
@@NittyGrittyRed It’s not about two specific players, it’s about wanting to see Spurs act like a big club and sign some top players that instantly elevate the first XI. That’s not a negative thing to want. I agree about Neto/Chiesa. We should be doing better than both of those.
Thanks, Alasdair for the video. I have to admit that I know very little about Wilson Odobert but we have heard this story about a young attacking midfielder/winger who is going to be a star before - notably with Adel Taarabt. Obviously, time will tell with Wilson but is he really better than the players already at the club? Anyway, Manor Soloman will definitely need a loan move now. Talking of which, I see that Dane Scarlett only came on in the 90th minute for Oxford United tonight. Hopefully, there will be plenty more minutes to come as he settles in and as an Oxford resident, I will hope to catch some of his games at the Kassam.
Very informative and positive. It's made me feel excited about the coming season. You're doing a stirling job Mr Gold, thank you 🙏
A youthful team -
GK Austin 25
RB Porro 24, RCB Dragusin 22, LCB Van Der Ven 23, LB Udogie 21
DM Gray 18, DM Sarr 21
RW Johnson 23, CAM Bergvall 18, LW Odobert 19
ST Solanke 26
Vuskovic 17 & Min-Hyuk 18 to join in January 2025
Honestly feel Spence could be a better RB than Porro would have liked to see Porro pushed up to RW
Double raid on Boro for Van den Berg & Hackney or a double Dutch raid on the championship for van den Berg & Wouter Burger would fit our current recruitment pattern. Not massively experienced but they've got huge potential.
OMG, Ange, if you're watching this, give us a sign! 🤣🤣🤣
I thought they were going to do a Castaway-themed Odobert announcement, but the one they did was even better. That kid is very talented, I've got a good feeling about him.
Maaate, Ali is the best journo I deal with.
Ange is taking the biss, laughing gas might seem harmless, but its no laughing matter.
If we could get an established PL midfielder like Gibbs-White and a LB/LCB hybrid it could be special window….
Just to say (as an Ipswich fan who enjoys your content!) I don't think it helped Dane that Spurs decided to cup-tie him a day or so before moving to us so he couldnt gain the cup minutes to impress!
Absolutely agree.
I'm a Tottenham born/fan, Ipswich resident, please beat Liverpool tomorrow 🤞🤞
@@daddacooper1981 Would be a dream return for us - but can only see us (best case!) sneaking a draw!
His flippant response did crack me up when you asked that Q in the presser, knowing full well you were going to ask that and how much you'd covered it.
First🥳
And just want to say I’m very happy with our surprise signing 💙
I saw PSG offered him a pro contract but he decided to leave and play for diff French team so seems like got good sense as realised with Messi Neymar Mbappe etc wasn’t going to get game time so chose diff club and then sensible move to Burnley to get game time and now deciding time for next step up to a team top end of prem and hopefully being attitude of youngsters were already got that they believe will win league at spurs
Great, was looking forward to your view on Wilson Odobert. Have a great weekend Gold!
As I've commented on other fans' pages, Odobert is a tricky player. He gave us loads of problems in the cup game vs. Burnley back in January. He has experience in the PL, plays for France, so hardly an unknown acquisition like some fans are making out.
Nice seeing people quiet down about the lange negativity. Some really positive transfers coming in
Every player we've signed recently seem like players who want the ball and actively seek to do things with it. No passengers.
Anyone being negative towards Lange is an idiot. His reputation speaks for itself and this is his first window with us.
If we get a 6 and a back up left back I’ll give this window 9/10
In all that the Spurs do, We never going to Always know. I love it.# Ange, in makes Us or breaks Us New Season regardless. Let's see.COYS!!!!!!
Great video as usual Ali you are always cool calm and collected.
Had to laugh at your interaction with Ange at the presser. I think he’s got a soft spot for you.
Was looking thru my thirty odd Tottenham shirts today my prized one signed by David Ginola.
Hoping we have signed another Ginola we are so back to being Tottenham again and Ange is responsible.
Sure id like an Eze or another big marquee signing but we can’t say that Ange hasn’t been backed I’m sure he sanctioned these signings to fit his system.
With new investment coming next season then maybe we go bigger the club is in great place financially and love or hate him Levy is responsible for that.
Before a lot of fans complain they should look at other clubs financially. We are building it was never going to happen overnight show some patience as well as passion for your team.
He’s just a one season wonder… Well done Ali :)
bissouma has had a fair chance to impress, but I cant remember even one motm performance. if he is sold this or the next window, he can have no complaint.
but he will not be sold as ange favours him. he plays the ange way.
Tottenham fans thinking he's average, trust me he's way better than you think he is. I was researching how Burnley played out from the back in trying to compare it with how Southampton play out from the back as sort of a metric for our chances of staying up (I am a Southampon fan as you probably gather). Odobert stood out to me as someone who was playing at a level completely above the majority of his team, was always making things happen and his stats don't reflect the performances he put out.
He'll be one of if not your best players in seasons to come and I'd go as far to say he could still play a big role for Tottenham this season.
Sorry which Tottenham fan saids he was average? So far I have only seen good comments about him.
Ali haven't had so much time lately to watch all your vids but i always at least click in, let it play a minute and hit the like button. Will you babysit my kids so i can binge watch your vids?
Thank you for the video, Alasdair. Having looked into Odobert today, I think he’ll be a great signing. His dribbling ability seems like a perfect fit for one of the winger positions. Based on your comments, I agree that spurs could still use a midfielder and a defender/LB. There have been some links to Locatelli, which would be interesting. I also wonder if Mario Hermoso is looked at, since he is a free agent and at CAA base. I’m curious to see what further outgoings happen
Brilliant signing
got to admit when i first hard we had signed Wilson i truned the air blue, but after doing some digging im changing my mind a bit just have to see what happens with the lad
That's been a constant element since the signing of Ange and yet people persist in applying their own preconceptions.
Ange is different, get it!😀
We can have 5 subs a game. Wingers and forwards can run their socks off, get replaced by a next round of fit, competent players with pace who will do the same until the 110th minute.
Congratulations " Runner Up PLayer of the Tournament" excellent work. Hope the toe heals. 🏆
Second season of Ange, top four and any cup would do very nicely and perfectly doable. C.O.Y.S!
Watched the Luton Burnley game this morning. Kid looked pretty good. Had a nice dribble and pass to set up the first goal and really took his goal well, great finish
Hi Ali, love the insight as always. I really agree with what you said about our scouting getting closer to the Brighton model, finding the next superstars. I do see why people would be worried with the lack of 'marquee' signings, but i think the main reason the brighton scouting works so well is because the young players play every week. We cant have young talent and marquee players and still expect the young players to develop like they do elsewhere while sitting on the bench. I personally think it's incredibly exciting, and points towards sticking with Ange for the long term to head this project!
We somewhat have depth in every position now just the CB and LB thats a bit sketch
Cannot wait to see where we are in a couple of years
2 more managers down and hoping for great things the following season no doubt.
I am excited to see how this project pans out. The youngsters were brilliant in pre-season and hope to see them as regulars this season! COYS!!
Didn't know much about the new signing. Looks exciting we need something we don't have many or any world class players. Maybe romero?
yes I'm loving the revolution and all the young players were bringing in, it is exciting but please remember defending is so important and if we sort that out which for me is top of the list I really will be excited.
Great video, mate, as always
Do you agree that we still need a midfielder and a left sided defender Ali?ps good to see your still playing striker in your early thirties 👍😉
Alasdair I agree with you. A lot of people are underrating our team, and I think a lot of people will be surprised. Besides the top 3 we have the strongest team and we have a bunch of talented, young players that can play the Ange way. And, of course this is second season Ange ball, and history shows that’s when things click.
I wonder how many teams will park the bus when playing against Tottenham?
Plenty will but we lacked the firepower/creativity last season to get around it
Seems like a good plan against us ! Especially when we gift a goal way to often 😢
I like this move. It's about time we stopped buying name brand players and got in our own researched incomings.
Ali Goat! 🐐 thanks on behalf of the NYC supporters.
Update on Lolo’s conmebol investigation?
Great video Alasdair.
I really liked Emerson, he is a true professional.
I wish you would put this on spotify so i can browse other things while listening..
I already have a podcast. Gold & Guest Talk Tottenham.
@@AlasdairGoldjournalist yes, already listening to that. Just want more spurs contents from you, i guess 😃
You can open another browser tab and leave this running.
Spotify sux!
So long as they keep Richarlison, the squad has definitely been strengthened.
I think what this window has shown us is that rumours relating to Spurs' transfers have little in the way of any factual base.
May I ask how do? All was covered beside Wilson’s, a stealthy deal which you would get sometimes every so often.
All the pieces are in place, now is our time. Dare to believe.
Maybe Spurs should sign you as a 3rd striker option Ali! I reckon you could win a few near post flick on headers
Not with his dodgy groin problems.
Thanks for another thoughtful video Ali. A glimmer of light in the darkness! And I'm glad to hear I'm not the only person who's been wondering what a 'marquee signing' is. I thought maybe there's a tent somewhere with a lot of expensive footballers in it.
Spurs have players that *can* play on the wings yet Odobert is the first true winger that we have brought in that looks like he can play the role ange wants. None of our wingers have the skill he has to take on a defender without relying on their pace. Very exited to see him play!
Have Spurs received any interest in our youth players? City and Chelsea, for example, sell youth players for big fees every summer. I'm curious if lower PL teams have inquired about any of our players. You'd think as much as everyone goes on about them, there would be some 20m or 30m bids? Selling a few youth players for big fees could fund an Eze.
Hi Ally, these kind of transfers are like the way Spurs operated in the days before the internet,, I am going back to the 70’s when we were always at the forefront of buying and selling players e.g Martin Peters and Jimmy Greaves.
I'm not surprised that they are trying to deals like this because Chelsea would probably have swooped in. I think the announcement was to make sure we could register him before the 12:00pm deadline yesterday.
I also think that Eze for £65m+, a transaction which would blow the spending structure as well, is not really worth it. He is a great player but he doesn't actually solve an issue in out attack which is an out and out right winger.
I will stress I think, Manu Locatelli or Matt O'Reilly could be the midfielder that we see coming in....
I want the Ali Gold highlights ! I’m gonna see if they’re around and make it go viral ! Sign him up !!! He’s less injury prone than Richy
Hello Ali, we are back. My prediction for the Leicester game is a 3-1 in favour of Spurs.
Spurs have snapped out signings so quick. Odobert wasnt even talked about or linked yet Spurs got him. I wonder if this means Kulu will get a no 10 spot and cover the no 9 role. Spurs are well set for the next few years an I'm sure Ange has planes. Bissouma for me is fast becoming another Dele or Ndombele. His form dropped so much last season now this. His position is under threat. Will be interesting to see what happens to him as the season goes on. What ever happens I know Mr Gold will cover it .
Thanks Ali… and no need to keep apologising to the Insta-trolls who understand nothing about life and development.
Just keep the optimism and real world view, we don’t need to pander to haters 💪🏻
Odobert is highly rated by Burnley fans, with some suggesting that he has the potential to develop into a very special player
In Ange I trust
Thanks Ali COYS
