For those who see Werner as us accepting 'mediocrity', I would remind them that we are just entering season two of a complete rebuild. We have to create a significantly larger squad to cope with the added fixtures, and will therefore need signings that we wouldn't necessarily make later in the development of the team. He did relatively well - certainly well enough for Ange to want him to continue. Moan when the window closes rather than as soon as it opens; none of us know what signings are yet to come. I wish him all the best, and I for one am glad that we have a small bit significant piece of the jigsaw in place.
Werner came to Spurs in the middle of the season not having played very much football at all and he immediately slotted in and displayed a real tactical understanding of what Ange wants the wingers to do along with the technical and athletic attributes to actually execute it, this signing is a slam dunk. Imagine what he and Johnson can do after a full preseason with a new number 9 as well
Totally agree mate. I thought he slotted right in and made an impact. The haters are those who just want to jump on the bandwagon, such is social media these days. I’m not suggesting he’s an automatic starter, but I am very comfortable with him being in the squad.
Yes Ali ! I think Ange likes Timo cause tactically he does what he’s asked to do ! Byline whip it across. If he gets his confidence back and scores scored a few goals he could prove a lot of people wrong ! I really hope so 🤞

I'm enjoying the rare sense of relative managerial peace most of all, but the youth are looking really rosy. And looking forward to seeing how the new behind the scenes team navigate our new signings too.
Werner would be good signingif is one on deadly day, after we have sold Solomon,GiL,Lo Celso, Parrot, sent Scarlett on loan, and got 2 top forwarders! Now we have him, and then we will hear how we cannot give the additional wages to get player like Olise or N.Williams ...
Absolute no brainer getting Werner on loan again. Squad depth has been and still is a problem and this loan goes some way to addressing that. No disrespect to Gil who I happen to like (more for his attitude which is spot on) but opponents would be more worried about Werner coming off the bench imo. Some Spurs fans need to get a grip on reality.
Thank you for the video, Alasdair. I like the Werner signing, as he is a reliable squad option, who is a great fit for the system and a good character in the locker room. I do feel that Spurs need to go all out for a striker, winger, and a 6. The depth signings at CB and RB could help with rotation as well. We have many pieces already in place after 1 season with Ange, so it would be nice to see Spurs build on this in the hopes of challenging next season.
@deandrury4330 with my football club, very sad. Sad from our owners' decisions and sad from 80% of our fan base that consistently accepts mediocrity. Why, how sad are you?
@@DimentionalBeing I’m not sad about what is going on at Tottenham at the moment I’m actually quite excited to tell you the truth they loaned Werner so they could have more money for when they sell Gil and probably soloman I am hoping they get a combined 130 million from sales to add to the 120 net Tottenham will fork out so they have around 250 million to spend just hoping that the good quality players that they go for want to go to Tottenham and I will be confident their will be a trophy next year
@deandrury4330 fair enough, I've been similarly excited and in your mindset many times before a summer transfer window, so I do understand where you're coming from and where many other fans like yourself are coming from. I've heard it all before. But I hope I'm wrong, I hope this is the season Spurs bring in 3 or 4 top-class players with this so-called 250mil kitty, and it does elevate Spurs to the next level. But if werner is the sign of things to come, I very much doubt it. I will back Ange fully for next season, and if he really did want timo and it had nothing to do with the owners in his ear, who am I to argue. But for me, this is not good enough, I have to be honest.
Its not about Age it's about Ange .and in Alasdair we are so lucky to have you providing a calm and sensible appraisal of all matters Spurs fans want to hear. A lot of teams are in transition,I believe we will be a top team this season as we have a start on other teams on this respect.I'm looking forward to exciting times ahead. And let's not forget Lucas Bergval is an exciting new signing who will create lots of opportunities this season
On Troy Parrott, I am friends with an ex Spurs academy player who trained with the first team in pre-season 2 years ago (it might’ve been 3 now, I can’t remember) and when I asked him who impressed him the most in training during that period, he said it was Troy! He was really surprised by his amazing work ethic and his quality finishing.
The Dave MacKay Derby The most important signing of Bill Nicks time. For you younger guys, he’s a mixture of Roy Keane, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes. Such a talented player, known for his tigerish attributes but was technically amazing. MacKay, left us for Derby, and guess what? He won the league with them aswell!!
I saw all of the magnificent Dave Mackay! Ali. There was no quarter given by him on the pitch. He had it all, and remember, he got through 2 broken legs. He ran up and down the terraces to strengthen his leg muscles each time. Dave had it all = Tackles/ heading/ shots/ passing.
@dalecronin1538 he signed off on Solomon, Johnson and Werner. Decided to keep Kulu. As he said in many press conferences, he has final say. Those are not quality attackers imo. None would get into the clubs were competing with for the league. Which is what Ange said he wants to win this season.
@@sof5930 15 G/A in your first season at the age of 22 is bad now? Solomon has been injured all season and you’re calling him bad 😂 mate, take a shot of positivity
Signing Werner, at least for another season, was a no-brainer. He was effective last season, minus goals. All we needed was an effective finisher. This loan signing allows Spurs to spend money in critical areas. If we also consider the fact that between 10 and 14 players might be shipped out, we're certainly not going to sign the same number of players this season. If we could get at least another 5 good players coming in this window, we can call up some academy players until we can go shopping again in January
Hi Ali, me that called your name and asked about the jet lag at the U21's final, ive a great photo of you looking VERY tired while reporting on the game, 100% agree with you views on the Werner signing, Anyway thanks for the acknowledgement on Sunday. 👍
Great update Ali, wouldn’t mind if it had been a super long one! I’m curious though, we’ve signed Bergvall because he played Men’s football at 16/17 so was able to develop that bit quicker, is the limiting factor for the kids in England/ U21s the premier league in our coaches eyes then? Is sending them to e.g. the Eredivisie (like Troy Parrott) the answer to getting them to develop faster at a younger age do you think? Is that part of the benefit of the Djurgardens tie up? Depending on who and where you are, youth development seems kinda inconsistent, and I’m just a little lost on what our pattern/ strategy is?
Hi Ali, looking forward to the preseason friendly v QPR.first, need to chill out and relax.😊temo Werner is a great signing, play behind main striker(sonny).in big ang we trust 😊⚽ Euros next, fixtures for next season in 3 1/2 weeks 🎉 17:01 🎉
Yes Ali, you look like you had a great sleep. Hope your jetlag is well and truly over. Look forward to this one, thank you as always. Much appreciated. #COYS
Glad to see you’re rested Ali! Question for q&a: if you had to pick one academy player who’s got the best shot of breaking into the first team next year who would it be and why?
Welcome back Ali! Dave McKay (not sure of the spelling) an absolute legend I am privileged to say I saw most of the doubles team when I was a schoolboy. Great Saturday afternoon at White Heat Lane seeing Bill Brown, Maurice Norman, Cyril Knowles (great left back), Jimmy Greaves, Jimmy Robertson Young Pat Jennings etc. Great Great players!! The fans were never decide as they are now sad to see how decide the supporter are.
Werner is a sensible loan signing as for one Ange really wants him because his possession game is so solid. And if next season continues as the last ended and ange has to depart, then we are not stuck with a high earning player who is hard to move on.
We have 10+ unusable players on loan currently. Sell them and bringing in a usable player on loan for a year. That’s an upgrade no matter how much you dislike Timo. I still think we need a long term signing in that role regardless.
Question for the Q.A. Do you think Tottenham should promote the strikers in their youth academy rather than buy one. As we have some brilliant players like Scarrlet, Parrot, Lankshear.
Hi Alasdair, Great video as normal. Just wondered if there was any genuine hope of signing Eze from Palace. I think he's someone who could take Spurs to another level & I remember there being talk when Palace came to the Lane earlier in season that we were smoozing he's people etc at the ground. Would love him at Spurs.
We can only really judge the Timo signing at the end of the window. I think we should concentrate the funds on three absolute top quality players, N Williams, Eze and Ederson. We then already have good cover, especially as we could promote some of the Academy or use Phillips at CB. (PS the loan team have to improve their choices this year, Veliz and Scarlett disastrous choices).
I hope Troy get looked at timing is his issue . I am worried about sending Velize out on loan he’s moved an entire continent at a very young age I think a year settling in London with players teammates the young guys coming through plus the actual training will be better and learning Ange style . Regardless no room European squad as part of the under 21 list for the epl Might work much better than a loan. If they were serious about spending so much money on him which they did you need to train him and adjust him to a new country and league .
Brandon Austin surprised me. He must be fairly highly rated within club. Also 25 is young for a keeper so that’s not an issue. He’s club trained homegrown so big box ticker I guess.
Last bit sounded harsh I always want academy players to do well ! I just haven’t seen him play enough. I assume his distribution must be good or I don’t think they’d give him a shot .
I think Werner is good business for now. It's unfortunate about some of the fan base and their reactions, however I do think it's evident more than ever at this time, the club has pushed the patience of the fans too far. The cheering at the tottenham hotspur stadium when city scored was drenched in irony in many ways. The fans are disallusioned - they don't see us winning anything, unfornately - any signing which is interpreted (and I'm not saying he his) as a cast-off or has been definately isn't going to cut the mustard. The general feeling I'm afriad I agree with is that Ange - given 2 years might be out of the door in one way or another if we don't make progress fast and tottenham's penny pinching attitude to wages simply doesn't line up when it comes to competing at the top level. We are a bigger club and have more money than Napoli for instance - we should be looking to bring in their stars. No matter the cost Spurs need to financially start to stamp their financial foot down and show their authority if they want to be considered a mainstay amongst the european elite. You would never catch me cheering a city goal or calling for people's heads ever but new money fans have not lived the times many of us have Ali. They pay top whack, they want to see top football, and at this point so do I!
All these youngsters need to do is follow the example of Harry Kane. No fuss, made the transition from youth to first team look easy. Worked hard and become a legend at spurs. If these youngsters can work and behave like Harry then we will have a bright future.
Q&A: The transfer window is the newest hot topic, and so many fans are still bemoaning Levy's role in the process. From your knowledge of the inner workings of Spurs, can you explain just how involved you expect Levy to be this summer given the introduction of Munn, Lange, Mackenzie, and Paratici's consultancy work?
Thanks once more for the video, Alasdair. The Werner deal can only be a good thing given the extra games next year and with the doubts over Soloman. Sure he has had some bad misses but then so did Brennan Johnson and even Sonny. At least he was in the right positions to have chances. The only downside would be if he kept a young Academy player out of the team but I do not see Ange going for a youngster at the start of the season. As for Tanguy, you are right he is obviously a lucky charm so Spurs should keep him and put him on the bench for every game and then the PL is in the bag Q.E.D. 😁! really enjoyed watching the U21 match on Sunday (thanks to SPURSPLAY). Some really promising young lads on display especially Lankshear, Donley, Hall and Abbott and the future looks bright as long as they are given chances in the first team and do not have to leave on repeated loans like with Troy.
I don’t mind Werner signing at all and I think it’s a pretty smart move. He’s capable of being a second choice to Son and won’t block the pathways of our youth players. In that sense, I’d prefer Solanke or Toney (only if Ange approves) to hot young strikers like Sesko. We have the best bunch of young talents and obligation to open the door for them to at least compete for the first team.
Dave Mackay hated the photo of him almost strangling Billy Bremner he thought it made him look like a thug which he most certainly wasn’t. Magnificent inspirational player loved by all Spurs fans of the time.
Ali - last year you spoke about how the academy teams weren’t playing in the same formation as Conte’s first 11, has that changed under Ange / is there now more alignment through the age groups with the first team?
Ali. I'm a Timo fan. Can you give me a link to those excellent stats you quote about dribbles etc. I've looked from January to May but can't find those. Great work as always. Thanks
Q&A. If Jim Ratcliffe's 25% stake at Man Utd gives him control at the helm, wouldn't MSP's 40% stake at Tottenham give them control? Does that mean that Najawi could effectively be running the club, instead of Levy?
I find the whole academy thing a bit misleading. I’m not sure people realise how big the gap is from there to the first team. We keep saying we’ve got these amazing youngsters but they hardly get a look from Ange from what we’ve seen. When you consider how young Rooney, Owen, Walcott were, it kinda puts into perspective they can’t be that special. But I know those players I’ve listed were extraordinary.
Once again another fantastic and informative video Alasdair Q: Any more news on investment being put into Spurs?? Q: Are you going on holiday when the transfer market opens lol 😂 😂
Werner deal seems a no-brainer to me. Excellent work. That you have unfortunately had to feel the need to defend it has baffled me. I'm not on Twitter so I guess I'm not seeing the negativity.
165,000 a week for a squad player. Why not give that space to a youngster? Why are we the club to try to get the best out of lost players? Chelsea didn’t work out for him and he became a second fiddle when he returned to Leipzig. This is Lenglet all over again, stop gaps because they is truly no ambition . It’s not negativity, it’s the truth, 25 years of truth and won fk all. What are you going to say now? Support another club? You support mediocrity? How that ended up for you with this club? Another hope lost, just like how everyone thought Jose and Conte will change the club, instead sacked altogether. Signings like this is the reason why when the injury crisis hit, we were a shell of our former selves. Fans don’t want to hear it because this time it’s “something different”.
@@marcbrown6713 he is a great lad, I just hope now that it’s official that he succeeds because Werner had a rough time of it. But I know, like the “low risk” of Lenglet, and Danjuma, he will not live up to the expectations.
Would Alejo Veliz be able to be registered on our B-list for Europa League since he would be born after 1 Jan 2003 for next season? See people saying he wouldn't be sent out as he can't be in Europe. Is it more about him getting playing time or am I missing how he can't get into Europa team?
When Spurs are playing two games a week, sending Werner on at the 65 minute mark with his pace and capacity to get the ball forward and pass it across the box will be great. He is an Ange-ball style player.
Timo had two problems at Chelsea. He was always offside. He'd miss massive opportunities. He's fixed the offsides but still is missing opportunities. There is a hope that he can sort that out in the team. If he does. What an amazing squad option to have!!
I can’t wait to not have to think about Tanguy anymore. No player has made me more angry than him ever! What a waste of a gift from god ! Makes me fking crazy angry 😡
I’m not the biggest Richy fan despite liking him in his early days under M Silva at Watford . I think him not playing copa America is blessing in disguise I agree that IF he can stay fit he could be a 20 goal player next season but that’s the question. As long as we get another striker in I’m more than happy to kept him.
You missed the chance at least 3 times to say they are a Unit a huge Unit. I'm never sure what some fans want. They want mediocre players like Spence then they want us to spend £100m on every signing even if they are worth much less. Then they want the kids to be given a chance yet if the kids are playing your not going to have to big signings. We players that want to play for us not prices.
Great show as usual Ali. A few months ago there was a story out about how Spurs were open to accepting external financing this summer. Where does that come into play vis-a-vis the summer transfer window?
Awesome stuff as always Ali G. Hope to see some of the youth players get involved more and more in the senior squad. Feels like there’s at least 1-2 players there who could one day break the 100 appearance mark.
This fanbase really needs to relax sometimes. The transfer window has barely started and we’ve locked down an experienced player that provides good depth. He missed some sitters last season but it’s like people disregard the human ability to improve.
Spurs doing the business early shows that Ange and the club are in sync. Getting Warner for year on loan works. Warner did fit into Ange system. If Spurs had a proper striker Warner would have gotten more assist. Word is Spurs are in talks with Ivan Tony agents. If Spurs can get a deal done before the Euros starts it sets the narrative that Spurs mean business. Only Journalist that will believe is Mr Gold.
Ali have you recovered from flying over to other side of the world and back . Hope you caught up with your sleep. Wermer needs to practice in front of the goal a bit more. Hope we get a quality no 9 in. Thanks Ali for all your hard work and updates. GOLD GOLD GOLD.
Hi Alasdair, one question for your Q&A if I haven't missed it is, are any of our plethora of youngsters likely to fill any of the squad roles we are looking to fill? I am thinking Alife Devine in midfield and Donley of Lankshear as back ups for the forward line. Please keep on doing what you're doing, I like the fact you are always logical in your reporting, I know I will get hounded by some of the fanbase but Levy will make us financial giants hopefully leaving us to invest long term soon.

Werner would be good signingif is one on deadly day, after we have sold Solomon,GiL,Lo Celso, Parrot, sent Scarlett on loan, and got 2 top forwarders! Now we have him, and then we will hear how we cannot give the additional wages to get player like Olise or N.Williams ...
Yep. Somebody who isn’t new to this shit …
Absolute no brainer getting Werner on loan again. Squad depth has been and still is a problem and this loan goes some way to addressing that. No disrespect to Gil who I happen to like (more for his attitude which is spot on) but opponents would be more worried about Werner coming off the bench imo. Some Spurs fans need to get a grip on reality.
Thank you for the video, Alasdair. I like the Werner signing, as he is a reliable squad option, who is a great fit for the system and a good character in the locker room. I do feel that Spurs need to go all out for a striker, winger, and a 6. The depth signings at CB and RB could help with rotation as well. We have many pieces already in place after 1 season with Ange, so it would be nice to see Spurs build on this in the hopes of challenging next season.
As Ali explains (re Werner), the deal is about the deal structure. This way we save 8.5m - which might be spent elsewhere.
Talking sense about Werner Ali, completely agree
Thanks for the update Ali. Re-signing Werner on loan was a no brainier.
Pathetic signing
@@DimentionalBeing how sad are you
@deandrury4330 with my football club, very sad. Sad from our owners' decisions and sad from 80% of our fan base that consistently accepts mediocrity. Why, how sad are you?
@@DimentionalBeing I’m not sad about what is going on at Tottenham at the moment I’m actually quite excited to tell you the truth they loaned Werner so they could have more money for when they sell Gil and probably soloman I am hoping they get a combined 130 million from sales to add to the 120 net Tottenham will fork out so they have around 250 million to spend just hoping that the good quality players that they go for want to go to Tottenham and I will be confident their will be a trophy next year
@deandrury4330 fair enough, I've been similarly excited and in your mindset many times before a summer transfer window, so I do understand where you're coming from and where many other fans like yourself are coming from. I've heard it all before. But I hope I'm wrong, I hope this is the season Spurs bring in 3 or 4 top-class players with this so-called 250mil kitty, and it does elevate Spurs to the next level. But if werner is the sign of things to come, I very much doubt it. I will back Ange fully for next season, and if he really did want timo and it had nothing to do with the owners in his ear, who am I to argue. But for me, this is not good enough, I have to be honest.
"Weirdly stable" such a good description of us as a club
Alasdair I thought Timo did ok
Its not about Age it's about Ange .and in Alasdair we are so lucky to have you providing a calm and sensible appraisal of all matters Spurs fans want to hear.
A lot of teams are in transition,I believe we will be a top team this season as we have a start on other teams on this respect.I'm looking forward to exciting times ahead. And let's not forget Lucas Bergval is an exciting new signing who will create lots of opportunities this season
Talking of the late great Dave McKay. He had a tie shop on Green Lanes, Winchmore Hill and in the window was a huge photo of him and Billy Bremner!
Was that the iconic photo of him grabbing Bremner by his shirt? I heard Dave hated that picture
Ndombele's luck winning trophies without doing squat needs to be studied.
I’m pretty sure he wasn’t doing squats in training as well 😂
On Troy Parrott, I am friends with an ex Spurs academy player who trained with the first team in pre-season 2 years ago (it might’ve been 3 now, I can’t remember) and when I asked him who impressed him the most in training during that period, he said it was Troy! He was really surprised by his amazing work ethic and his quality finishing.
The Dave MacKay Derby
The most important signing of Bill Nicks time.
For you younger guys, he’s a mixture of Roy Keane, Steven Gerrard and Paul Scholes.
Such a talented player, known for his tigerish attributes but was technically amazing.
MacKay, left us for Derby, and guess what? He won the league with them aswell!!
I saw all of the magnificent
Dave Mackay! Ali. There was no quarter given by him on the pitch. He had it all, and remember, he got through 2 broken legs. He ran up and down the terraces to strengthen his leg muscles each time. Dave had it all = Tackles/ heading/ shots/ passing.
I would give the Earth to have a young fit Sandro as a DM in this current squad.
Werner is a solid acquisition now we have Europe/more games. We will probably still sign attackers too so everyone needs to chill
"Probably". Might sign new attackers but what quality will they be? Richy is staying. I don't see a big addition this summer.
@@sof5930 if Ange wants them (which he will if they walk through the door) then surely that means they’re of good quality
@dalecronin1538 he signed off on Solomon, Johnson and Werner. Decided to keep Kulu. As he said in many press conferences, he has final say. Those are not quality attackers imo. None would get into the clubs were competing with for the league. Which is what Ange said he wants to win this season.
Accepting werner is accepting mediocrity
@@sof5930 15 G/A in your first season at the age of 22 is bad now? Solomon has been injured all season and you’re calling him bad 😂 mate, take a shot of positivity
Signing Werner, at least for another season, was a no-brainer.
He was effective last season, minus goals. All we needed was an effective finisher. This loan signing allows Spurs to spend money in critical areas.
If we also consider the fact that between 10 and 14 players might be shipped out, we're certainly not going to sign the same number of players this season.
If we could get at least another 5 good players coming in this window, we can call up some academy players until we can go shopping again in January
im in aus ali and ive literally stayed up until 3am because i had the feeling you would post tonight - adore your videos, you're a phenomenal journo!
Thank you but you could have waited until the morning!
Hi Ali, me that called your name and asked about the jet lag at the U21's final, ive a great photo of you looking VERY tired while reporting on the game, 100% agree with you views on the Werner signing, Anyway thanks for the acknowledgement on Sunday. 👍
Great update Ali, wouldn’t mind if it had been a super long one!
I’m curious though, we’ve signed Bergvall because he played Men’s football at 16/17 so was able to develop that bit quicker, is the limiting factor for the kids in England/ U21s the premier league in our coaches eyes then?
Is sending them to e.g. the Eredivisie (like Troy Parrott) the answer to getting them to develop faster at a younger age do you think? Is that part of the benefit of the Djurgardens tie up?
Depending on who and where you are, youth development seems kinda inconsistent, and I’m just a little lost on what our pattern/ strategy is?
Hi Ali, looking forward to the preseason friendly v QPR.first, need to chill out and relax.😊temo Werner is a great signing, play behind main striker(sonny).in big ang we trust 😊⚽ Euros next, fixtures for next season in 3 1/2 weeks 🎉 17:01 🎉
Hi Alasdair, thanks for the update. Stay safe and well. COYS.
At this point, I'd be happy with us bringing Gazza and Lineker back.
Yes Ali, you look like you had a great sleep. Hope your jetlag is well and truly over. Look forward to this one, thank you as always. Much appreciated. #COYS
As a squad player signing, Werner was a no-brainer. Knows the football that we play, fitted in well.
Glad to see you’re rested Ali! Question for q&a: if you had to pick one academy player who’s got the best shot of breaking into the first team next year who would it be and why?
Welcome back Ali!
Dave McKay (not sure of the spelling) an absolute legend I am privileged to say I saw most of the doubles team when I was a schoolboy. Great Saturday afternoon at White Heat Lane seeing Bill Brown, Maurice Norman, Cyril Knowles (great left back), Jimmy Greaves, Jimmy Robertson Young Pat Jennings etc. Great Great players!! The fans were never decide as they are now sad to see how decide the supporter are.
Werner is a sensible loan signing as for one Ange really wants him because his possession game is so solid. And if next season continues as the last ended and ange has to depart, then we are not stuck with a high earning player who is hard to move on.
It's 'last season' as soon as it ends. It stays 'next season' until it starts at which it becomes 'this season'
Agree. Currently we are "between" seasons.
I agree. Werner as a squad player on loan and with the improved deal to get him cheaper next year (if we want), is good business.
Ali, the new Rebus on BBC I Player is very good for catching glimpses of Edinburgh. Very gritty series but excellent all the same.
i understand why you made those high pitched noises Allie. I'm just as excited to see Bergval pull the strings in the midfield next season... COYS!
We have 10+ unusable players on loan currently. Sell them and bringing in a usable player on loan for a year. That’s an upgrade no matter how much you dislike Timo. I still think we need a long term signing in that role regardless.
Question for the Q.A. Do you think Tottenham should promote the strikers in their youth academy rather than buy one. As we have some brilliant players like Scarrlet, Parrot, Lankshear.
Hi Alasdair, Great video as normal. Just wondered if there was any genuine hope of signing Eze from Palace. I think he's someone who could take Spurs to another level & I remember there being talk when Palace came to the Lane earlier in season that we were smoozing he's people etc at the ground. Would love him at Spurs.
i am trying to keep balance about Mikey Moore
Babe, wake up. New Ali Gold video just dropped.
We can only really judge the Timo signing at the end of the window. I think we should concentrate the funds on three absolute top quality players, N Williams, Eze and Ederson. We then already have good cover, especially as we could promote some of the Academy or use Phillips at CB. (PS the loan team have to improve their choices this year, Veliz and Scarlett disastrous choices).
This podcasts U21s coverage is by far the best to date.
Candid and mature citing of Wayne Burnett’s accomplishments and future outlook is REAL.
I hope Troy get looked at timing is his issue . I am worried about sending Velize out on loan he’s moved an entire continent at a very young age I think a year settling in London with players teammates the young guys coming through plus the actual training will be better and learning Ange style .
Regardless no room European squad
as part of the under 21 list for the epl Might work much better than a loan.
If they were serious about spending so much money on him which they did you need to train him and adjust him to a new country and league .
Would be lovely if we could have a 28 year old Perisic, but im for the signing of Timo i think he can be important squad player for us
Brandon Austin surprised me. He must be fairly highly rated within club. Also 25 is young for a keeper so that’s not an issue. He’s club trained homegrown so big box ticker I guess.
Last bit sounded harsh I always want academy players to do well ! I just haven’t seen him play enough. I assume his distribution must be good or I don’t think they’d give him a shot .
I think Werner is good business for now. It's unfortunate about some of the fan base and their reactions, however I do think it's evident more than ever at this time, the club has pushed the patience of the fans too far. The cheering at the tottenham hotspur stadium when city scored was drenched in irony in many ways. The fans are disallusioned - they don't see us winning anything, unfornately - any signing which is interpreted (and I'm not saying he his) as a cast-off or has been definately isn't going to cut the mustard. The general feeling I'm afriad I agree with is that Ange - given 2 years might be out of the door in one way or another if we don't make progress fast and tottenham's penny pinching attitude to wages simply doesn't line up when it comes to competing at the top level. We are a bigger club and have more money than Napoli for instance - we should be looking to bring in their stars. No matter the cost Spurs need to financially start to stamp their financial foot down and show their authority if they want to be considered a mainstay amongst the european elite. You would never catch me cheering a city goal or calling for people's heads ever but new money fans have not lived the times many of us have Ali. They pay top whack, they want to see top football, and at this point so do I!
How has he improved the squad since Jan?
All these youngsters need to do is follow the example of Harry Kane. No fuss, made the transition from youth to first team look easy. Worked hard and become a legend at spurs. If these youngsters can work and behave like Harry then we will have a bright future.
Q&A: The transfer window is the newest hot topic, and so many fans are still bemoaning Levy's role in the process. From your knowledge of the inner workings of Spurs, can you explain just how involved you expect Levy to be this summer given the introduction of Munn, Lange, Mackenzie, and Paratici's consultancy work?
Bunch of FIFA managers thinking that's how the real world works
He ultimately signs the cheques unfortunately. Always has and always will do
Thanks once more for the video, Alasdair. The Werner deal can only be a good thing given the extra games next year and with the doubts over Soloman. Sure he has had some bad misses but then so did Brennan Johnson and even Sonny. At least he was in the right positions to have chances. The only downside would be if he kept a young Academy player out of the team but I do not see Ange going for a youngster at the start of the season. As for Tanguy, you are right he is obviously a lucky charm so Spurs should keep him and put him on the bench for every game and then the PL is in the bag Q.E.D. 😁! really enjoyed watching the U21 match on Sunday (thanks to SPURSPLAY). Some really promising young lads on display especially Lankshear, Donley, Hall and Abbott and the future looks bright as long as they are given chances in the first team and do not have to leave on repeated loans like with Troy.
I don’t mind Werner signing at all and I think it’s a pretty smart move. He’s capable of being a second choice to Son and won’t block the pathways of our youth players. In that sense, I’d prefer Solanke or Toney (only if Ange approves) to hot young strikers like Sesko. We have the best bunch of young talents and obligation to open the door for them to at least compete for the first team.
Dave Mackay hated the photo of him almost strangling Billy Bremner he thought it made him look like a thug which he most certainly wasn’t.
Magnificent inspirational player loved by all Spurs fans of the time.
Ali - last year you spoke about how the academy teams weren’t playing in the same formation as Conte’s first 11, has that changed under Ange / is there now more alignment through the age groups with the first team?
Can't wait to see what this summer brings
Ali. I'm a Timo fan. Can you give me a link to those excellent stats you quote about dribbles etc. I've looked from January to May but can't find those.
Great work as always. Thanks
Alasdair Golds sums up another Tottenham Hotspur’s signing, it’s one of those, in the words of Ange Postecoglou, it sure is mate 😂
Q&A.
If Jim Ratcliffe's 25% stake at Man Utd gives him control at the helm, wouldn't MSP's 40% stake at Tottenham give them control? Does that mean that Najawi could effectively be running the club, instead of Levy?
I find the whole academy thing a bit misleading. I’m not sure people realise how big the gap is from there to the first team. We keep saying we’ve got these amazing youngsters but they hardly get a look from Ange from what we’ve seen. When you consider how young Rooney, Owen, Walcott were, it kinda puts into perspective they can’t be that special. But I know those players I’ve listed were extraordinary.
Ali I don't care how young Mikey is get him in the first team squad. If your good enough your old enough
Once again another fantastic and informative video Alasdair
Q: Any more news on investment being put into Spurs??
Q: Are you going on holiday when the transfer market opens lol 😂 😂
Result!! Look forward to watching this in the morning!
Effectively the same price for Werner as they save 5 mil in wages us keeping him over the next year and that’s the discount. But I’m happy he stays
Werner deal seems a no-brainer to me. Excellent work. That you have unfortunately had to feel the need to defend it has baffled me. I'm not on Twitter so I guess I'm not seeing the negativity.
Twitter is a hellscape. Instagram is just as bad as well. It brings out the worst in people and seems to attract the worst people to begin with.
165,000 a week for a squad player. Why not give that space to a youngster? Why are we the club to try to get the best out of lost players? Chelsea didn’t work out for him and he became a second fiddle when he returned to Leipzig. This is Lenglet all over again, stop gaps because they is truly no ambition . It’s not negativity, it’s the truth, 25 years of truth and won fk all. What are you going to say now? Support another club? You support mediocrity? How that ended up for you with this club? Another hope lost, just like how everyone thought Jose and Conte will change the club, instead sacked altogether. Signings like this is the reason why when the injury crisis hit, we were a shell of our former selves. Fans don’t want to hear it because this time it’s “something different”.
I hear you. I just think it's relatively low risk financially and it could bring positive reward.
@@marcbrown6713 he is a great lad, I just hope now that it’s official that he succeeds because Werner had a rough time of it. But I know, like the “low risk” of Lenglet, and Danjuma, he will not live up to the expectations.
Would Alejo Veliz be able to be registered on our B-list for Europa League since he would be born after 1 Jan 2003 for next season? See people saying he wouldn't be sent out as he can't be in Europe. Is it more about him getting playing time or am I missing how he can't get into Europa team?
When Spurs are playing two games a week, sending Werner on at the 65 minute mark with his pace and capacity to get the ball forward and pass it across the box will be great. He is an Ange-ball style player.
Rivals hope Angie ball never ends.😉
Everyone has worked that move out already.
I really want Veliz to go on loan in the championship. Look at Rodon and Tanganga ! Just want him to play and also being here he’s in the spotlight
Timo had two problems at Chelsea. He was always offside. He'd miss massive opportunities.
He's fixed the offsides but still is missing opportunities.
There is a hope that he can sort that out in the team.
If he does. What an amazing squad option to have!!
When a club has a world class talent like Mikey Moore what are the steps to make sure path is not blocked into the first team?
Not signing Werner on a perm right now would qualify
I can’t wait to not have to think about Tanguy anymore. No player has made me more angry than him ever! What a waste of a gift from god ! Makes me fking crazy angry 😡
that was a lovely welcoming at the start
I’m not the biggest Richy fan despite liking him in his early days under M Silva at Watford .
I think him not playing copa America is blessing in disguise I agree that IF he can stay fit he could be a 20 goal player next season but that’s the question. As long as we get another striker in I’m more than happy to kept him.
You missed the chance at least 3 times to say they are a Unit a huge Unit.
I'm never sure what some fans want. They want mediocre players like Spence then they want us to spend £100m on every signing even if they are worth much less. Then they want the kids to be given a chance yet if the kids are playing your not going to have to big signings.
We players that want to play for us not prices.
Great show as usual Ali. A few months ago there was a story out about how Spurs were open to accepting external financing this summer. Where does that come into play vis-a-vis the summer transfer window?
Great listen as always Thank you for taking the time! COYS!
Thanks for this informative update, Alasdair! Glad you’ve recovered from your jet lag!
Awesome stuff as always Ali G. Hope to see some of the youth players get involved more and more in the senior squad. Feels like there’s at least 1-2 players there who could one day break the 100 appearance mark.
Love your videos. I put the subtitles on out of curiosity, makes the videos even more entertaining 😂😂. Hurric Kanane (Harry Kane) 😂
This fanbase really needs to relax sometimes. The transfer window has barely started and we’ve locked down an experienced player that provides good depth. He missed some sitters last season but it’s like people disregard the human ability to improve.
Spurs doing the business early shows that Ange and the club are in sync. Getting Warner for year on loan works. Warner did fit into Ange system. If Spurs had a proper striker Warner would have gotten more assist. Word is Spurs are in talks with Ivan Tony agents. If Spurs can get a deal done before the Euros starts it sets the narrative that Spurs mean business. Only Journalist that will believe is Mr Gold.
Will Luca Gunter or Josh Keeley be part of the first team squad next season?
Ali have you recovered from flying over to other side of the world and back . Hope you caught up with your sleep. Wermer needs to practice in front of the goal a bit more. Hope we get a quality no 9 in. Thanks Ali for all your hard work and updates. GOLD GOLD GOLD.
Hi Alasdair, one question for your Q&A if I haven't missed it is, are any of our plethora of youngsters likely to fill any of the squad roles we are looking to fill? I am thinking Alife Devine in midfield and Donley of Lankshear as back ups for the forward line. Please keep on doing what you're doing, I like the fact you are always logical in your reporting, I know I will get hounded by some of the fanbase but Levy will make us financial giants hopefully leaving us to invest long term soon.
Balanced view on Werner Ali and great content all round
I'm bored of summer already. Bring on rainy November where there's games every week 😭
Always love to Ali video.
I normally go with "this coming season being the one that's starting in the fall and what we just finished is last season
