FT 1-1, probably about right - Not great performances by any of them but as it's a friendly I can forgive them. Don't rate this Austin keeper much and don't believe he'll have a long future with us; definitely error-prone.

1-1 - Not shocked
Come on Aspro, it's a pre-season friendly. It's all about getting match fit, experimenting with tactics and formations etc. Bit soon to say that Richarlison is a waste of money. 
I didn't quite put it that way sofa; I said he hasn't shown anything to warrant his fee. I probably should have added 'yet' and I did add later that it was only a friendly too. I'll try not to be so harsh against the Glasgow mob 
Spence finally signed, what a palaver! Too many rumours about Kane leaving now. Would he really go to Bayern? I'm not so sure.
Nah, I doubt he'd go and I don't see Bayern offering the required amount to tempt Levy. Still no takers for 
s, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Reguilon, Tanbanga etc. 
s, Ndombele, Lo Celso, Reguilon, Tanbanga etc.
It doesn't look like it, Levy's playing hardball with Everton for Winks with Palace watching the developments; Lo Celso a possible swap deal with Sevilla with Reguilon also linked; Ndombele in talks with Roma and Tanganga is in talks about a loan deal with AC Milan, but nothing concrete on any of them. I guess time is still on our side though.
On the flip side there has been a few snippets about Nico Zaniolo (Roma) coming in, which is dependent upon sales, but the interesting one that has been floating around for a few days is Leicester's Maddison for around £45m. Definitely an argument for their best player and more than capable of scoring as well as creating. I'm keeping a keen eye on that one, especially with him being English.

Antonio Conte admits it WASN'T his decision to sign Djed Spence so I don't expect to see him play in the upcoming season. It's an investment transfer for the future by the management.
Apparently Conte is preparing Lucas for right wing-back position. I think he will do well there.

Yeah, apparently Spence was Levy's purchase. Seems to think he'll be able to flip him in a few years for mega bucks. How did that work out for him with Jake (or is it Jack) Clarke....

Kane put on ice until next Summer with Bayern believing they may be able to capture him then. I think that is dependent upon this season and how well Spurs perform, but with no silverware and just a year remaining on his contract, Levy will have little choice but to let him go, although I wouldn't be surprised if Kane held on to leave on a free.
Gil a possible loan to Sampdoria but nothing more jumping out at me today. I'm hoping we can quickly sell a few and pursue the Maddison link.

Strong team for the Rangers friendly

Ok, I'm not a subscriber and I'm not paying to watch a friendly.
Probably edged the first half but still behind. Nothing to really criticise so far. Hopefully see a few of the newbs next.
I enjoyed that. Means little but a fair opposition to help get us up to full fitness

Some Arse fans are getting ridiculously carried away with their pre-season form and are talking about challenging for the title this season. Bless their cotton socks, they'll never learn.
Let me clarify my question... I see Sessegnon/ on the left side of a 5... Can anyone name the other 4 probable/suspects?
I'm expecting Lenglet, Romero & Dier to cover the back 3, with Davies (who has just signed a one-year extension) filling in as cover or even main if Lenglet isn't up to this league. Wing backs are anyone's guess at this juncture, but I've not seen enough from Sessegnon to make that position his own. Just my opinion mind.
Davies signed a 3 year deal which keeps him at the club to June 2025.
The wing backs are the right age; if and it's a big if we sign some more players, which
I doubt, another centre back perhaps? But I guess the emphasis is on disposing of the surplus
which is taking time, one bright spot in a depressing scene is that Galatasaray showed an interest
in Ndombele who appears a limpet.
Btw Spence was signed by the recruitment team not Levy, he is all things to the club but not a scout.

Sanchez and Rodon gone ?,sorry didn't keep up during close season.
Sanchez will stay. Rodon might go if there are any suitable offers for him. Don't thin Conte fancies him at all.
Is Perisic not seen as the likely left wing back ? just in relation to Emitdeb's question ...
Just on the end of last season and the little bits of pre-season I've seen.. I'm getting a Sessegnon 
vibe...

fair enough, good competition for the position at least and with 5 subs and CL demands need two for every position ideally..
Facing moanrinho Roma this evening
Hope its not too fesity

Didn't see it. Bad performance was it? Did he sent out a strong team?
Sent out the A team and they pretty much played Roma off the pitch.. But tbh I only watched second half. Perisic played left wingback (as brentford said would) Looked superb there too... imo. Richarlison came on late on, looked fitter and better. Unlucky Spurs.
Only Harry (of the forwards) has scored in this pre-season and lack of creativity from midfield still looks a huge problems against "low block" park the bus teams.
Pre season is all about the fitness nothing else
Get them back into it
You dont want silly inkuries going full blooded in a friendly,, fans whine all the time because of losing in pre season yet its nothing to even be concerned about 99% of the time
How is Spence getting on ?

Strange tbh. The reports said it was a club purchase and they also said that Conte had nothing to do with it, or so he was reputed to have said. If Conte sanctioned it then I'm sure we'll be seeing him soon.
If you think about it Aspro we've had a scouting team since time immemorial.
Paratici is relatively new and wouldn't be the sole judge of domestic players.

Let's see if we can get a few more talented youngsters in, especially home grown. Can't say I'm pleased with releasing Rodon on loan to Rennes with the option to buy, £17m I read which I'm sure they'll snap up.
Skippy and Bissouma out on Saturday, so back to square one.

Kane/Sun had a quiet game
The Saints are going to get relegated

Kane a slow starter. Doesn't start scoring till September. Kulusevski looked good and Richarlison will need to work extremely hard to displace him in the first team.
that Kulusevski deal looks some piece of business currently..
looked decent last season but if plays at the kind of level he was showing yesterday...

Bentancur too. These two have made a huge difference since signing. Might've finished 6th without them.
Rather surprised there's been no talk of postponing games this weekend - forecast temperature for Chelsea on Sunday afternoon is 34 degrees. Not only is football in that sort of heat farcical, it's potentially dangerous. Where are all the people that were campaigning to get the Qatar World Cup moved to the winter because it would be too hot there in the summer?
All the games could be moved to evening kick offs on Tues/Wed next week, as there are no other fixtures involving PL clubs.

Zaniolo looks to have been thwarted, which bothers me none considering his performance against us. I saw nothing (at all) to excite me. Udogie is due in town on Monday to complete a medical before being loaned back to Udinese. The rest of the unwanted look like being loaned out as nobody wants them either.
jERMAIN defoe retuns to Spurs
Have we got his player registration

Christian Romero is now ours after Spurs paid the £41m option to buy. That should please the faithful.
Can't say I'm looking forward to this game tomorrow after numerous embarrassing losses to this mob just earlier this year. I'd take a draw right now if offered.
Sofa's back!
I'm getting a, tide is turning vibe... We wont lose.

Shyte performance and Kane (till the late goal) and Son were almost non-existent. But yeah, I'll gladly take that late point. 
Hate to say it but a point at Chelsea really is an excellent point..
4 points off Chelsea would be superb, which is very gettable. COYS!

Yeah, at least they stopped the rot. Another loss to this rabble would've been soul destroying. 
Got myself hooked to a family barbecue yesterday and though I saw the result, and read the reports of the ...umm..'feisty' game, in true 'Likely Lads' fashion I only got to see a recording of the match this morning.
Overall, I am SO pleased we've turned nasty. I am sick to death of us being nice guys and winning nothing. As long as we play good attacking football (which we do) to go with it, then steel, edge and gamesmanship will do me just fine.
The goals?
Hojberg's was absolutely fine.
Minute analysis (which is what VAR is for, love it or loathe it) shows Betancur actualy touched the ball in the so-called foul on Havertz. Chelsea had virtually a minute and actually regained posession at one point before Hojberg's shot - so, suck it up Blues!
....and as for Richarlison being in Mendy's eyeline? Desperate stuff!!
Romeru pulled Cucarellas hair and should have been sent off. Sure he did.....and some of us have got long memories and remember Gary Cahill kicking Kane, twice, whilst he was on the floor and getting away with it at Stamford Bridge several seasons ago. Some of us remember goals that were given to Chelsea when the ball didn't cross the line. Karma is a b!tch isn't it?
Oh and Conte didn't look into Tuchels eyes when shaking hands at the end.
Yeah - and the tooth fairy doesn't exist either, boo-hoo!

Amazing Hanx, I thought of the very same "goal" (FA Cup semi final I think, but not sure) and my immediate reaction was what goes around eventually comes around. Just not used to seeing Tottenham getting the better end of one of those deals though!
Son is mostly far too nice. Needs to add an element of the dark arts to his game. Richarlison and Romero have certainly added some shithousery to the first team squad after the departure of Lamela.
Had a birthday call from Gary Mabbutt yesterday, which is a nice touch for the older generation of season ticket
holders. He like me is very optimistic naturally for the coming season and loved our fantastic spirit after
being out played for an hour.
I'm not sure what I enjoyed more, the result or the crocodile tears of the Chav supporters.

Happy (belated) Birthday Fig. Willing to hold judgement until the team gels a little and we look like competing against top 6 opposition. Bit fortunate this weekend but to get something out of that game does show something usually lacking with Spurs... almost optimistic here.
