Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports
You forgot Victor, Moose, Kyle, Danny, Toby, Jan, Eric and Hugo!
If he ever did leave us, I would put my house on it that it won't be to them!!
Could pretty much name anybody in the squad. It's crazy to think how many good players we have, most complete team in my memory
Since they're being so realistic, why not take Dele, Toby, Dembele, Eriksen and Dier while they're at it, too.In the replies they're discussing getting Pochettino.
Why else would they move from Woolwich to north London?
To be fair no team in the world doesn't want Kane. He's already a world class goalscorer and at 23 who knows how far he can go.
24th on the all times Spurs goalscorer List now, with 79 goals in all competitions.
He jumped past three players with the goals yesterday. He's already beaten the likes of Klinsmann, Adebayor, Pav, Waddle, Saul, Berbatov, Iversen, Anderton, Mackay, Bale, Armstrong, Bailey etc..three latest he left in his dust were Martin Peters, Seed (1920-26) and Steve Archibald.
Next ones just ahead are:
23. Lineker 80
22. Osborne (24-31) 82
20. Cantrell (12-23) and Clive Allen 84
19. Evans (31-36) 86
18. Falco 89
17. Taffy O'Callaghan (27-35) 98
I think 19 more goals this season is possible...

I honestly wouldn't take a single player of theirs except for Sanchez.
And maybe Cech to compete with Vorm on the bench
Here is the article. Dele Alli valued as 9th as well.....
Neymar is by far the big-5 league player with the highest transfer value. The Brazilian prodigy outranks Lionel Messi and Paul Pogba. Data presented in issue number 172 of the Weekly Post is computed by means of the exclusive CIES Football Observatory transfer value algorithm.
Since 2012, the CIES Football Observatory research team has developed a unique approach to estimate on a scientific basis the transfer value of professional football players. The statistical model through which fair prices are calculated includes multiple variables on player performance (minutes, goals, etc.) and characteristics (age, contract, etc.), as well as data on employer clubs and potential recruiting ones.
The big-5 league player with the highest estimated transfer value is Neymar: 246.8 million €. The Barcelona's forward is clearly ahead teammate Lionel Messi (170.5 M €) and Paul Pogba (155.3 M €). Ten players have an estimated value of more than 100 M €. In the top 100 list are 42 players from the English Premier League.
The highest values per position were recorded for Jan Oblak among goalkeepers (59.8 M €), Raphaël Varane among centre backs (64 M €), Héctor Bellerín among full backs (70.3 M €), Paul Pogba among central midfielders (155.3 M €), Dele Alli among attacking midfielders (110.5 M €) and Neymar among forwards (246.8 M €).

Dimitri Payet... 40m

Any list that values Pogba at more than Utd paid for him after yesterday lacks credibility
The list isn't based on individually analysing the transfer value of each player. They've looked at all major transfers done over the last 6 years in the top 5 European leagues, and developed a mathematical algorithm based on a set of different factors that can predict (apparently with 80% accuracy) the transfer fee of a hypothetical player with any given combination of the factors analysed. Then they've input the corresponding factors for all the players in their list in order to generate a prediction of their hypothetical transfer value. In Pogba's case, I guess the increase from what Utd paid is down to the fact that he's locked down to a significantly longer contract now than when they signed him and playing in a better league.

Yeah, I get that and then I look at the above and "Performance", "Achievements" and "Results" stare back at me....
Found this on RAWK, of all places:
'Now 22 goals in his last 26 league starts, and a hat-trick in the week that his partner gave birth to their first child. Since the start of 2015, the list of Premier League goalscorers reads as follows:
Harry Kane – 54
Sergio Aguero – 47
Romelu Lukaku – 34
Diego Costa – 33
Jamie Vardy – 33
Alexis Sanchez – 33
Olivier Giroud – 32
Jermain Defoe – 31
7 ahead of Aguero, and 20 ahead of any other player.'
Not bad for a one season wonder, eh?
EDIT - and then this fucking nugget of insight:
'He's one of those players that will never go into the bracket of World Class...Not sure there is many places that would want him and he would go to either.'
Yeah, who in their right mind would want a 20+ goals a season striker?
