🔸 Gvardiol, Bastoni, Schlotterbeck, Botman, Torres - all on list 🔸 Complicated and protracted journey towards Lenglet 🔸 Conte wanted THFC business done early 🔸 Struggled at Barca but good move for Spurs, proven quality 📝 JackPittBrooke

There were three of them, and Bastoni, and it was the Inter man for whom Spurs pushed the hardest. Conte had worked with him before and Inter’s financial situation might have played into Spurs’ hands.

But that is why Tottenham found themselves landing so many other positions without getting close to the one position that they had prioritised from the start. Clearly, that is what Tottenham are trying to do with Lenglet. And while a critical voice might say that he is, at best, Spurs’ sixth choice for this particular position, there is another way of looking at this: that by signing an experienced international on a low-risk one-year loan deal, Spurs would be bringing in much-needed cover and competition for Davies.

London City Hall: Committee finds suggested savings were misleadingSavings made by moving City Hall are likely to be £24m below original claims, a committee finds. That's alright, they will just bring in another charge for London residents to cover the cost! That's a novelty. A project only slightly late but below budget! No report yet on Dutch farmers. The people have joined them and shut down country. Scared of public seeing crowd's? Bit like when we took London in lockdown. I don't know anyone that believe anything report on. Your days are numbered lol 😆
