I agree, I’m not sure on Williams tbh but I think €30m is far too much for an 18 year old who is not even a guaranteed starter in the Belgium league. Put that 30m and sell Richy and you have virtually the money to get Toney who would absolutely guarantee us 15-20 goals in the league

A big part of the fun of the transfer window is hopping on these runaway hype trains, naturally it's disappointing when they run off the rails but it's important to keep the appropriate perspective. Thanks for the excellent detailed reporting on this story Ali G

Never understood the nusa deal. I can't help but feel that if Santiago let's say was playing some first team football in Belgium (which he is at the level to be doing) we would be making moves to sign him. Considering the profit and sustainability implications it's going to be imperative that we build the careers of our academy players. So for me I want to see more of Dane scarlet, Santiago, soonsup Bell, Jamie donely and the like. I know he's a different player but even troy parrot is showing promise at arguably a higher level the the jupiler pro league.

As ever, the voice of reason in a chorus of Spurs hysteria. Thanks

Did Spurs dodge a bullet with Nusa, given the news of his failed physical? Queue up your favourite Matrix gif.

Obviously not playing regularly because he’s got significant injury concerns which is why he’s failed the medical at Brentford.

Thank you for saying the squad is good enough for the remaining 17 matches. The frenzy over “just one more player,” has gone too far.

I feel a slight overload with this and the Gold and Guest in one day . Luckily your content is always informative and balanced so a case of never too much .

I'm sure you've pronounced Roony Bardghji's name correct in a previous video, I could be wrong 😂 I believe it's Bar-da-gee. Thank you for the updates, you are a legend 🙏🏿

I’d rather Gibbs-White than Ramsey. Gibbs-White be absolutely perfect for the new style of play.

If nothing happens between now and Thursday we can’t really complain with the business done in this window, some of the areas where we were short have been addressed with quality signings. The club do now seem to have a more proactive approach to transfers, long may it continue.

43:03 part of me feels we play Dragusin for both the Brentford and Everton game, and alternate Romero and VDV for each one. It is hard because I want both to continue to play, but I do agree Radu needs some game time

Dragusin came to us instead of going to Bayern and it was a good thing so how can anyone now complain that Nusa has done the same by going to Brentford makes no sense. The thing is for me as you pointed out he wasn't even starting on a regular basis and wanted some kind of guarantee of first team football which could be problematic if he came here and didn't get it. My view on young talented players is we have an U-21 team that is 11-0-0 these youngsters might also want a crack at first team football, some of them are really good, even some of the U-18's are top of the table quality players there as well. Maybe I'm just biased and want our youngsters to succeed, maybe our youngsters are on the wonderkid level of Nusa but I think it's worth giving them a try.

How good were the fans last game becoming a real force for all of the game.. brilliant 💪

Thanks, Alasdair for the video. While I was initially disappointed that Nusa seems to have chosen Brentford over Spurs, I honestly don’t think Spurs need yet another talented youngster. As you point out, it has not worked out very well in the past - Clarke, Gil, Spence etc. Also, at the moment you could not say that Nusa is a player who will guarantee Spurs a trophy in the next couple of seasons let alone a PL title. Much more likely that one of the academy players makes a significant contribution in the first team squad before too long.

Kind of Brentford to do the medical for us and find his dodgy knee.

The one thing that worries me is our tendency to be a bit Shot Shy. I'm just not sure we're going to score enough goals and maybe that'll scupper our Champions League prospects.

Thanks for the update. And keeping it to 45mins 😊. But much appreciated!

Hes a future prospect NOT proven in the PL. I'm so sad for an 18yr old with potential back and cartilage problems and I hope he's going to be okay. Reminds me of the Asa Hartford "hole in the heart" problem.He turned out well. WHY are people blaming Levy for HIS decision to choose Brentford? It makes sense as he's got more chance of getting minutes there than at Spurs. WTF are people getting upset for? Especially when NOBODY had heard of him before Spurs showed interest?Ridiculous!

Thanks for this informative update. Alasdair. Although I’m disappointed by the Nusa transfer, I think Brentford is a good option for him in terms of his development. It sounds as though the medical issues are concerning. The summer window should be interesting. Wondering if some of the Liverpool stars will be exiting.

Hi Alasdair, another great update 2 in2 days, you are spoiling us Ali. Stay safe and well. COYS.

He's a very talented young player with cartilage problems and back problems. With the robust physical nature of the Premier league I would say we dodged a bullet on this one.

Totally agree, maybe that's why he avoided us.

Another piece of Alasdair insights and rational comments for which many thanks. Looking forward to the Brentford game and seeing if Dragusin gets playing time. I would probably start with Romero and VdV but replace VdV at some stage to give him a rest but also start integrating Dragusin into the squad. Am also excited about the light show which I think will be really cool!

They may be seen as capable of embracing complexity and avoiding rigid, black-and-white thinking.

Hi Ali, another trip to Melbourne perhaps? I'm sure the fans here would love to host a forum.

Connor Gallagher would require a huge fee and because he’s a Chelsea lad and captain it would be a tough one for us to accept. We don’t want someone who’s a Chelsea fan and reluctant to join is what I’m getting at.

Keep your videos coming long or short, great stuff. Brendan, for whatever his reason has got to snap out of not using his pace and take defenders on he's a very good player if he does. He may well be rested and Radu I can see him coming on at some stage, but he may start for (flip of a coin) - Cuti.

At this stage I'd like Ange to keep circulating the players a little bit, rather than a preferred lineup. From what I've seen, team synergy is pivotal to Ange ball because it's so high risk. The more core players have dropped off injured, the more I feel we've seen those premature runs & crosses with nobody at the end that are costing us & the only way is lots more game time for players Ange wants to keep & not just regular pairings. It might cost us short-term but this is only the start of a new project.

I wonder if Nusa looked at the Gil situation and thought he didn’t want to go that route. Can’t tell me Gil has benefited from his time at spurs.

Another great video!

Thanks Ali. So Nusa has a potentially serious knee issue which is why the Brentford deal collapsed. Did we dodge the bullet?

I’m not bothered, I think Spurs should go big or go home at LW, it the last position in the starting 11 that needs improving. Also we have Mikey Moore who is even younger with similar potential to Nusa. Someone like Nico Williams who has a 50m euro clause and is slightly older with much more experience would be a better signing, and would be easier to ease Moore into the squad in the far future.

Thanks Alasdair

Good evening, Alasdair . It's great to have another post from yourself. I think Sarr may come onto the bench for Brentford. Don't think he will start due to playing the full 120 minutes last this morning ( Cairns time). I think Kululevski will replace Johnson on the left. Madddison,Bentancur, and Skipp in the middle. Dragon to give VDV a break at the back. So my line up. Vicario, Porro,Romero, Dragon,Udogie Skipp, Madders,Bentancur. Werner,Richi,Deki. Johnson may replace Werner at half time. Anyway, looking at 2-1 Tottenham win. Or the players could really take their frustration out on Brentford and win by putting a bucket load past Brentford. COYS 😂😂😂.

Thanks Al, brilliant.

Big up Ali ! I don’t follow that much Belgian football but I’ve been asking around . I wanted Nusa but the reviews from fans here isn’t great. Arthur Vermeeren is the one that got away 🤦‍♂️ If I was a killer DM I would probably also go to Atletico.

Question - what's the latest plan with the 'skybar' that wraps the roof of the Paxton North?

'demand' is a strong word. 'Appreciate the greater likelihood' is more likely to be true as to why Brentford sounded more attractive IMHO.

He may end up being a world beater, personally I don't think so... if it was that obvious he was a global rising star then Spurs and Brentford wouldn't be the only people around the table, there would be much bigger fish to contend with... and yes "big" clubs may have looked at him... but clubs look at 100s of players, we just don't hear about until these scenarios crop up... IMHO, even at 18, if you haven't got the confidence or will to throw yourself in at the deep end, then its probably a good thing that he moved elsewhere..... no disrespect to his choice, he did what works for him On to the next one....

@rhysjaggar4677

You're pre-selecting a certain mentality a la Jose Mourinho. That's your right, but there are smoother upward trajectories to success. Bellingham didn't 'throw himself in the deep end at Man Utd' when Sir Alex came calling, he went to Dortmund and played every week from 17 - 19. Presumably you'd have signed him if Real hadn't come calling? There was a shedload of 'failure' in Chelsea young ranks which eventually saw De Bruyne, Salah and others extricate themselves, succeed at lower levels and then become world beaters at City, Liverpool etc. Ollie Watkins went Exeter - Brentford - Aston Villa and Spurs fans have been wishing they could sign him now. Are you calling him too much of a coward for Ange Postecoglou to sign???? He'll probably be in the Euro2024 squad for England, after all....

Would it be totally fucking daft to make a play for Rashford given ETH clearly doesn't like him? Feel like he could thrive in a less toxic environment. Doesn't seem to be AS on the out as Jadon Sancho however.

I was annoyed at Nusa, but hope we Give Moore some game time in the next few seasons

If it doesn’t happen then it’s not meant to be right now. We have cover in that area. I’d take a striker over another winger.

Soooo light up top. I think we will struggle for goals and it will probably cost us in the league now that we can’t actually win anything. Can’t think of a decent winger or striker we’ve bought since Son.

I think Nusa has been awfully advised, who's to say he don't get regular game time next season? our front line is lacking. esp if we move sonny up top full time, his competition would be Gil, Solomon and Werner. 3 players that are not guaranteed a future at the club. If that is who he's scared about not getting game time over, it shows the mentality. Dragusin came over even though we have 2 potentially world class CBs and still fancies himself. That's the mentality I want.

@rhysjaggar4677

4 ай бұрын

Dragusin was given assurances he will have significant playing time, especially next season when barring calamity there will be European football as well. He may well see the next six months as a free hit, settling into London, fitting into the manager's playing system on the training pitch, starting to get some game time and being ready for a top pre-season ready to fire on all cylinders come August.

Think you play Romero till sunny back and Maddison fully for so have a captain on the pitch - and maybe Romero only plays 70 mins so all 3 have game time and Maddison on pitch when Romero comes off

He’s back!

Save VDV for Everton match. Just back from hamstring probably be beneficial to him. Play Dragucin

Think u forgot to mention Dane Scarlett among the forwards Ali

Nusa is great. This is a big blow. Yes he wouldn’t have been a guaranteed 8/10 every week next season and would’ve had his ups and downs, but largely he would be really useful. He would’ve been great long term

To be honest judging by our resent history of young wingers such as Sessegnon, Gil, Clarke, Lamela, chadli. Nusa looking else where to develop is the correct decision, despite our vast injury list coming in as a no other choice can’t be a nice feeling for a developing 18 year old. Who will most likely be put into the under 21s once the first team is back. Thanks for the catch up Ali.

Lucas bergvall looks an amazing asset Ali, his only young aswel

Mr. Gold, might I suggest getting a better microphone, or at least bumping your audio levels a few decibels up, sometimes it is a little low. Appreciate your work.

Not such a big deal missing out on Nusa. We have enough young talent in the under 21’s. More important that we buy proven quality at the moment.
