Back to the proper stuff on Tottenham – Home and Away as Graeme and Glen look back at Spurs’ two pre-season tour matches in Sydney and discuss the latest transfer activity around the club.
We review the games against Sydney FC and Chelsea, including Glen’s trip to the Allianz Stadium, the atmosphere in Sydney, the penalty shootout, and the late Richarlison winner against Chelsea.
There’s plenty of discussion around the players who impressed on tour: Williams-Barnett, Mathys Tel, Dubravka, Kinsky, Robertson, Tonali, Fernandez, and some of the young players getting minutes under Roberto De Zerbi.
We also dig into the transfer window so far: the big-money arrivals of Tonali, Fernandez and Van Hecke, the smarter free transfers like Dubravka, Senesi and Andy Robertson, and the ongoing worry that Spurs still look light in attacking areas.
On the outgoings side, we discuss Vuskovic to Brighton, Will Lankshear, Tyne and Thompson, Veliz, Alfie Devine, Ashley Phillips, plus rumours around Romero, Bergvall, Jed Spence, Mikey Moore and possible attacking targets including Savio, Gakpo, Osimhen and the inevitable Harry Kane dream.
With pre-season nearly done, Spurs look stronger in defence and midfield — but do we still need serious firepower before the season starts?
