There’s an increasing amount of talk around relationism at the moment, which I’m glad to see.
But I think the relationship between relationism and positional play is often framed as more binary than it actually is. 👇
Spurs bought Gallagher and have kept Bergvall over Sarr. He’s better than both of them.
🚨⚪️⚫️ Juventus have agreed on personal terms with Pape Matar Sarr; he wants the move.
Deal now depends on club to club talks with Tottenham, loan with buy clause — Spurs want to include conditional obligation to buy too.
Talks underway with #THFC.

Gakpo to city
Grealish to Everton
N’diaye to Spurs
🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Cody Gakpo decides to join Manchester City & parties now working to reach agreement. 27yo faced 3-way decision after #LFC signed Bradley Barcola; stay or Tottenham Hotspur also options. Dutch int’l chose #MCFC + talks advancing @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7484818…
Ezequiel Palacios to Ipswich.
This is massive for Ipswich. With the players they’ve already brought in, I really fancy them to stay up if they can keep him and their key players fit.
Solid recruitment 👏
🚨 EXCL: Ipswich Town close to agreement with Bayer Leverkusen for Exequiel Palacios. Latest bid €22.5m + €5m. Subject to clubs finalising deal 27yo #Bayer04 midfielder will sign 4y contract & become 1st World Cup winner to represent #ITFC @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7526551…
Oscar Gloukh.
If Spurs enter the market for a No.10, he’s one to watch. Elite between the lines, controls attacking sequences and carries genuine goal threat. Injured players will return so profile has to offer something different.
Balance is key to squad building.
🚨 Following checks from the medical team, #THFC’s James Maddison could be out FOR A WHILE! 😳❌
It’s a bad injury. 😬

What’s shocking for Spurs is despite all the money spent. Somehow they’ve started the season with Richarlison, Moore, Tel, Bergvall, Gallagher and Gray in the starting 11.
Fully fit squad and half of those don’t even get on the bench let alone start.
Spurs need to get Maddison & Fernandes on asap to gain back some control of this match before it’s gone.
Spurs need players in/back asap. Brentford look very well balanced. Damsgaard not starting is good news for Spurs.
A draw today is a good result for Tottenham.
Dorgu would be a good fit for Leeds, would combine well with Okafor.
United should replace him with Balde.
Man United should be all over this. Rashford & Balde left side dynamics would be 🔥 enables Cunha to rotate with Sesko, Rashford & Bruno.

Some very questionable decisions regarding team selection from Carrick. You either play Shaw/Dorgu & Rashford/Cunha left side or Sesko up top to create space for Bruno & provide aerial threat.
Frustrating for United fans as they have the players available to win that game.
Minteh to Liverpool properly platforms Isak + Wirtz by adding depth and 1v1 threat on the right. If Gakpo leaves, Barcola would be ideal. Dario Osorio or Fernández-Pardo solid alternatives.
Structural fit is key.
🚨🔴 Liverpool and Yankuba Minteh have a broad verbal agreement on contract terms as the player said yes to #LFC project.
Brighton rejected £60m bid sent today but talks continue, as @foday_manneh_ reported.
