But two positions are still broken, and the "depth" we keep talking about might not actually exist. Inside: the full pre-window audit position by position, why the model has us 12th at centre-back despite the "world-class pairi

A Coach's View: How to Watch Spurs Like a Coach (De Zerbi, half spaces and automations explained) Jul 17, 2026 2009 Jim and UEFA A licence coach JJ build a fan's toolkit for reading the game: manager philosophies, protagonist vs antagonist (not what you think), between the lines, half spaces — and then apply it all to De Zerbi's Spurs, including the automations to listen out for and a pre-season homework assignment: watch the goal kicks, not the ball.

Antoine Nusa as the profile-similar alternative — with the medical history and the Bundesliga-to-Premier-League ste
The Originals: How Spurs Complete The Squad
The Originals: How Spurs Complete The Squad Jul 13, 2026 2204 The Originals panel — Jim, Si, DJ and Stu — walk the full pre-season window with a considered read on where Spurs still need work. On the table: the Djed Spence stick-or-twist question and the mooted Nico Williams swap (does it actually make sense?); the aerial gap in the new-look Van Hecke / Senesi / VdV back line; the Gibbs-White dream and a panel vote on the Bergvall + £30m + sell-on framing;

A Coach's View: How Fernandes Fits The Spurs Midfield
A Coach's View: How Fernandes Fits The Spurs Midfield Jul 1, 2026 1108 Mateus Fernandes is through the door at £85m, and A Licence Coach JJ is here to walk through what Spurs have actually bought. Two talk tracks: first, the player on the pitch — profile, role in a De Zerbi double pivot, the line-breaking question, the ball-carrying upside, the defensive cover JJ thinks he brings. Then the player at the price — whether £85m is market-realistic or bubble-inflated, an

The Analyst: Do Spurs Actually Need A Striker? (Video Recommended) Jun 24, 2026 1397 Spurs need a striker. Or do they?  Enya Collins runs the data on the striker market and lands somewhere most reaction channels won't — there's a real argument we don't need one as badly as the discourse suggests. Five European targets ranked by data and eye test — including the Marseille striker with a De Zerbi connection nobody's discussing. Plus why Solanke is actually a better De Zerbi strike
