@FloppeyStockey @SpursWebSeb Rare to see sensible, objective people on football twitter. Likewise, Jesus is likely to be a very good signing who ticks the boxes of what you needed.

@now_arsenaI PL managers in situ for that same period (outside of those 3): - Potter - Hasenhuttl - Moyes (1 week less than Arteta) So he has more wins than Southampton, Brighton, and West Ham for his £300m spent...but way less than Pep and Klopp.

@pjjcasey @jamiecweir Did Everton not do the exact same when they took Richarlison from Watford? Or is that OK and its only offensive when more profitable / financially powerful clubs than Everton are doing the buying?

@LastWordOnSpurs Exactly the attitude you want to see. No player will be happy to not be playing - especially in their prime years and when they've been used to starting every game - and plenty throw their toys out, so fair play to him. Still got an important role to play off the bench I think.

@GerMc31 Well Pickford thought it was - that was very clear from his reaction. So did the officials. So did VAR. So did the pundits. Even Lampard didn't moan about it. Almost like it was a clumsy foul and a nailed on Penalty? Strange, that.

@GovandOkeh @thfclp__ I was going to say the same. Has never relied on pace and he's a model pro. Just turned 29 - barring serious injury he'll be fine for another five years at least.

I'm still only lukewarm on the prospect of Ivan Toney. Don't love his attitude and hasn't had the best of seasons. Plus he's 28. Saying that, I think he'd be better suited to our system than Brentfords and I do think he'd score quite a few goals. I'm on the fence.

@Wazza1882 Selling Skipp would be brainless. He's home grown, club trained, still young, and a good rotation option. If Selling Sessengon and Tanganga as well, we'd be tied into having to buy a minimum of two HG players.

@HotspurRelated Another example of why sensible clubs have their own valuation of a player and - as a general rule - aren't willing to just throw that out of the window and "just pay the money." End up getting fleeced. May still come good, but a €15m punt is a lot better than a €30m one.

@InvertTheWing £50m for Hojbjerg and Gil is very optimistic - can probably halve that. Hojbjerg will have 12 months on his contract at 29 and most Spanish clubs are brassic. I think we probably will raise about £50m through sales but a big chunk will be Rodon to Leeds (if promoted) at £15-20m.

Chelsea really are a basket case of a club aren't they. I didn't like seeing Poch there and I'm glad he isn't anymore, but it felt like he was just starting to settle...and then they get rid! Hard not to assume he disagrees with some of the transfer plans?

@CorneliusW35775 @CarlyOnYouSpurs Too early to tell. Could've said the same about Klopp or Arteta or Poch (at Spurs) after 12-18 months in the job. Many did. But they got time and squad investment and came good. Ange may or he may not - but unless he's given a decent amount of time we'll never know.

Normal pre season friendly / opposition caveats apply BUT: - Gray looked excellent. Very composed on & off the ball - Bergvall likewise second half. Should've had a 2nd assist - Moore is going to be a superstar - Spence was excellent second half. He's home grown. I'm
