@EdDeGoeysTash @squadnos Many at Spurs have worn it. Defoe, Fraizer Campbell, Kane, Llorente.

@squadnos 18 is always a decent shout for a back-up centre forward, but if only they hadn’t channelled the spirit of Stephen Ireland in the summer by giving 9 to Harvey Elliott!

Let's be honest, as good as Christmas is, it's only ever a preamble to the real excitement of the @squadnos new signings thread each January To start, Brazilian winger Alysson has joined Aston Villa from Grêmio and will wear the number 47

@Lilywhite_Rose Could Takai, Donley, Cassanova or any of the other U21s make the bench instead?

Two sub keepers for a Premier League game 🙄

@Superspurs131 The 7th-highest goal scoring team in the Premier League and Europa League winners PLUS Kudus, Simons and Muani? That’s unacceptable?

I do like this, although it brings our UEFA non-HG total up to 23 (max 17) and total squad up to 31 (max 23). I’m thinking we’ll have to leave out the following: Kinský Drăguşin Takai Bissouma Maddison Solomon Gil Kulusevski

@mitch_fretton Why? They have 30 first team players.

@NathanAClark Sell Bissouma, Gil and Solomon. Loan out Scarlett.

What else needs doing? (Other than a lot of sales/loans) Spurs supposedly looking at LW and CB options.

@Lilywhite_Rose Dorrington is 2029 and Solanke is 2030.

📑#thfc Contracts 26 Bentancur, Bissouma, Davies, Gil, Craig 27 Richarlison, Devine, Scarlett 28 Kulusevski, Porro, Maddison, Vicario, Solomon, Phillips, Dorrington 29 Romero, Van de Ven, Solanke, Johnson, Odobert, Spence, Moore, Austin, Hall, Lankshear, Donley, Véliz, Gunter, Olusesi, Abbott 30 Udogie, Gray, Sarr, Drăgușin, Danso, Vuskovic, Takai, Yang 31 Kudus, Bergvall,Tel, Kinský

@DanMezzala @Lilywhite_Rose Completely agree. Don’t know why so many people are struggling with this.

@Lilywhite_Rose Personally don’t understand the need to sign another LW. Tel was effectively Son’s replacement, we also have Odobert and they don’t want to block Moore’s path. Simple as that

#thfc Unless another attacker leaves, Spurs are not looking to sign a Heung-Min Son replacement. Thomas Frank has taken a real shine to Wilson Odobert. [Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham]

@Lilywhite_Rose @StunningSpurs @chriswisey Spoke to a couple of QPR fans last season and they said he was rubbish.

@StunningSpurs @chriswisey Can’t believe he’s not gone back to QPR. They really liked him and was getting Game plus being in London made it easier to train at Hotspur Way a few times a week.

#thfc Portsmouth have agreed a loan deal with Spurs for South Korean international Yang Min-hyeok. Move should be completed in next 24 hours. @chriswisey

@NathanAClark Literally this. He turns 22 this season. If ever there were a chance for him to prove himself at Spurs it’s now. Let Kudus and Bergvall share the minutes at 10 with Alfie coming off the bench / starting some cup games until January. By then, Kulu is back and we reevaluate in Jan.

Seen quite a bit of talk that Spurs now need not one but two creative 10s to fill the void left by injuries to Maddison & Kulusevski but that would eventually leave us with 4 on the books, absurd. One way to navigate that could be keeping Devine around until January.

@GeordieSpurs @SebOnFootball What’s embarrassing about it? It’s there and thereabouts the team that beat Arsenal 1-0 the other week and we have 6 injured players to return.

@SebOnFootball Utterly utterly embarrassing

Right now I imagine our super cup team will be: Vicario Porro Romero VDV Spence Palhinha/Bentancur Sarr Bergvall Kudus Tel Odobert Got a feeling he goes Tel over Richy for some reason, playing on the break it makes sense. Also Palhinha will start if he’s up to speed likely

@Big_D_Yid81 Donley should get a full Championship loan and Devine should be given the chance to stick around until at least January with Maddison and Kulusevski out.

@Superspurs131 To argue your point, would Romero, Van de Ven, Kulusevski, Maddison etc. still be around if Spurs weren’t in the UCL? Perhaps they’re sticking around because they are in it, meaning there is a pull.

Both Spurs and Newcastle are showing that the whole ‘Champions league pull’ is a complete myth.. Both clubs struggling with signings and players rejecting them left, right and centre… It is and will always be….. Money…..

@WorldofHotspur Would you be saying this if Udogie weren’t injured?

So *Ben Davies* becomes the only LB available on our pre-season tour. World's 8th richest club still wheeling out Pochettino's backup from 11 years ago. Utter disgrace of a "football club" 🙄

Still to do this window: Sell: Drăguşin, Craig, Bissouma, Gil, Son, Solomon, Richarlison. Loan out: Phillips, Cassanova, Abbott, Tyrese Hall, Olusesi, Devine, Donley, Moore, Yang, Scarlett/Lankshear. Buy: LB, CDM, ST. #thfc

@Spacey1882 Why? We could sell Son, Solomon and Gil and loan out Moore and still be left with 6 wingers.

We STILL NEED to sign another winger. Son is finished with us. #COYS

@FactsnotFaiths @AlasdairGold Still has to be born before 1st Jan 2004 to be treated as home grown for the 2025/26 season. He’ll be treated as U21 for this season, then will be home grown for the following season.

I've done a keep, sell or loan of the 39 Spurs players in and around the first team squad as Thomas Frank starts his assessment of them all. There's some tough decisions in there. Let me know - I know you will - which ones you disagree with. football.london/tottenham-hots…

@Lilywhite_Rose Yang wears 18 and Solomon wears 27.

The following first team numbers are available this summer: Anyone you would like to see change? 2: 3: 5: 12: 16: 18: 20: 25: 26: 27:

@SB8308715342770 He will still be an U21 player next season so won’t be club-trained. He’ll become club-trained the following season.

🚨| Dane Scarlett Dane Scarlett has left many of the Spurs staff impressed since his return from Oxford Town. Dane is slowly becoming a serious contender to replace Richarlison, and Whiteman in the Squad for next season, His club trained status is also a factor!
