The Originals: Marmoush & Savinho To Tottenham — Are Spurs Top Four Now? (Panel Predictions, The Spence Departure & Brentford Preview) Aug 21, 2026 2267 Are Tottenham top four with Marmoush and Savinho? The Originals panel goes on record — and Jim goes further.

John

Former professional player and analyst Enya Collins joins Jim with the data on the gap hiding in an otherwise brilliant summer. The 33/33/33 Maddison reality — injured, finding form, or brilliant — and why his reputation grows the longer he's out. Kulusevski's return from major injury and why recurrence ris

A Coach's View: The False Nine Explained (and what it means for Osimhen, Gakpo and Solanke)
A Coach's View: The False Nine Explained (and what it means for Osimhen, Gakpo and Solanke) Aug 7, 2026 1374 Everyone's arguing about which striker Spurs should sign. Jim and A-licensed professional coach JJ (The Full Co) ask a better question: does De Zerbi's system want an out-and-out number nine at all?

The Analyst: Every Spurs Signing Rated with New Data (Video Recommended)
The Analyst: Every Spurs Signing Rated with New Data (Video Recommended) Aug 5, 2026 1390 New partnership, new data.

The Originals: Is Gakpo Worth £70m? (the Premier League tax, Romero's cheap exit and the Richarlison question) Aug 3, 2026 2578 Cody Gakpo to Spurs is the debate splitting the fanbase — so Jim, Si and Stu settle in. Stu has watched Gakpo since his PSV debut and explains why the Brennan Johnson comparison misses badly, Si brings the numbers, and the panel asks whether £70m is really the problem people think it is. Also: the research showing homegrown players carry a 40% price premium (the "Premier League tax"), why "best st

A Coach's View: What Everyone Gets Wrong About Gakpo to Spurs (his real profile, the De Zerbi press, and what it means for Tel) Aug 1, 2026 1256 Tottenham are strongly linked with Cody Gakpo and the link has split the fanbase. Jim is joined by A-licensed professional coach JJ (The Full Co) to break down what Gakpo would actually bring to De Zerbi's Spurs: why he's closer to Kudus than Brennan Johnson, how a 6ft 4in powerful runner reshapes the left side, how he fits the high press, and why the "not enough goals" argument collapses under sc
