Q: Top 6, bottom 3 predictions? Q: Are Tottenham fans quiet? Admittedly, I haven't been to a game since my teens; even then, however, I used to get frustrated with how passive some fans were, sometimes even when playing well. You can't always get a real feel for the atmosphere on TV - so, are the fans doing their bit?

I fear big Ange was found out and will be sacked by March He didn't improve the team last season. Solanki is a very strange transfer he's a poor man's Richarlerson it seems such a stupid move. Hope I'm proved wroong

I was with Pablo and his wife last night, great guy. Mentioned you were talking about him and it put a big smile on his face.

Q&A Questions 1. Who would you like Spurs to bring in for that attacking midfielder/winger position? 2. Looking at the games you have watched during pre season do you think Spurs have evolved or changed certain aspects from Ange’s first season? Just a quick comment on the squad numbers. Both systems don’t seem to benefit teams who produce talent and bring it into their first team. Weren’t these systems designed to protect home grown players from clubs just filling teams with foreign players. But it seems it doesn’t do that. With Skipp having to stay just to fulfill a quota.

Quick question. Similar to how Arsenal put Saliba on their squad list to make him considered a homegrown player. Could Tottenham do the same thing with Matthew Craig for their Europa league squad despite being alone at Barnsley, if they can do that, that’s another club player

Q&A Hi Ali, quick one for the q&a, feel like a lot of the fans were coming into the season expecting a lot of variety regarding players in the Europa League, do you see the squad restrictions causing discontent among the squad with those that expected minutes and now wont get them? Also, do we re-submit the squad after the group stage or is the initial squad the one you commit to for the entire tournament, to maybe include some players that were initially left out? Unfortunately looks like an issue that won't be fixed for a few years to come

I'd definitely keep Donnelly as cover for L. back and midfield and and keep Will Shanks

When we signed Maddison one of the doubts I had imo was that he was one of those players who could be really good or not in the mood and disappear from the game. I was happily wrong when he started the season but since he has returned from injury I thought he needed time to recover game fitness but I am running out of excuses for him now and at 27 he should be at his peak now but I only feel worried that he won't get any better only more of the same followed by a slow decline. I really hope I'm wrong. Bisouma is another player similar to Maddison who made a long awaited burst of the form we bought him for also at the start of last season and also has not continued that after a self inflicted absence. All doesn't look as good in North London and I could go on but I won't depress myself anymore and as usual hope for the best. COYS

I like you Ali but come on, You can't count Solankes last 72 goals because the vast majority came in the Championship. He also completely went missing last season against top six. Why can't Spurs Journos and UA-camrs just be realistic and honest. I'll get behind Solanke, but factor in also that nearly half his goals last season were headed goals. Spurs have no one who can cross the ball. Solanke is an underwhelming signing. Just like Werner and Johnson. Ange says he wants to challenge for the league, and then signs Johnson Werner Kulu and now Solanke. Its probably a top 6 or 7 attack that's it. Eze Son Neto would have been a much more exciiting front three. This is a typical Spurs transfer window. It's not a coincidence that Spurs don't build a squad to challenge or win anything.

Hi Al I don't know what you think but aren't we getting rid of more players than we are signing up? Yes some players are surplus to requirements but apart from Solanke we have brought in young players who are not at the level of the ones leaving. And yet again the players are coming in a week before the start of the season! This is the old way of doing things coming back in. We are putting ourselves at a disadvantage at the beginning. It's not the way a top club should be doing things . As it is we are getting players in late because of the Euros and Olympics. When will we ever learn our lesson? Selling squad players before getting replacements at this late stage puts us at a disadvantage as we don't have the time to buy players with the right mindset and more likely to overpay for them as we put ourselves at a disadvantage and the selling club know it! We keep doing the same thing year after year! All we need is some bad luck with injuries or suspension and we will be short of first team players in key positions! Am I wrong?

We won the 2nd half with 1-0. But still, the way we don't mark the 2 opponents on the far post..., it's concerning. Also, Biss should know how important it is to meet Vic's central pass, that Djed misses is forgiveable since he is new and off pos (1st Bayern match), but Biss should know.

If an U21 player is selected to play in premier league matches (but he is not part of the main 25-man squad), does that mean he is removed from the U21 squad? Or can he play for both squads during a season?

Hey Ali, once again a real good inside knowledge video on the comings and goings at Tottenham. I have watched the FourFourTwo videos on Solanke and Gray with what they can bring to Tottenham and I am really excited. I am hoping we get off to a strong start and see where things go. Have to keep Devine, Lankshear, Donley and Moore for cup games rather than them go out on loan. Sorry to see Scarlett go out on loan, but I suppose with Richarlison, Solanke and Lankshear then who will get game time. Good luck to Dane at Oxford in the championship. Hope he gets plenty of minutes. TTID!!! COYS!!! In Ange We Trust. One question I have got, if Reguilon leaves then who will come in at LB or LCB to cover Udogie if he gets injured?

I have a couple questions Ali: 1. Why has the club remained silent about Lo Celso’s and Romero’s active presence in Enzo Fernandez’ stream of team Argentina’s racist and homophobic chant? I ask because it is obvious that the club is aware of its players social media presence as evidenced by the Bissouma situation. 2. With regards to players like Reguilon, who’s decision is it to banish the player between the player and the club? 3. What is the development plan for Ashley Phillips? 4. Will Luka Vuskovich count as club trained/homegrown when he becomes a first team player? 5. Considering the significant financial outlay on Brennan Johnson, should we have seen more from him over pre-season? 6. What is going on with James Maddison? He doesn’t seem to have recovered form even over preseason 7. Do we still need players like Eze and/or Ramsey and if so, could we expect outgoings in the midfield? If so, who would leave? 8. Was Pedro Neto not interested in joining Spurs? Not sure why he would join a club like Chelsea with loads of wingers when it looks like he would have gotten plenty of opportunities at Spurs (especially considering Johnson’s form so far) 9. Who starts at RCB for the first game of the season for you between Romero and Dragusin? 10. Who do you expect to have the greatest leap this year between Udogie, Sarr, and Van de Ven? Also, Happy Belated Birthday!!

Surely it is best to assemble a squad to target the domestic competitions? I thought Sevilla automatically win the Europa League anyway...😅

Happy belated birthday Ally. Thanks for taking the day off so spurs could get the deal done 👍🏼

Cheeky grin before the 'Hello everyone, Alisdair Gold here'. Love it.

Indy hive checking in

Happy Birthday Ali G! A fellow Leo! Very excited to see what Solanke can do for us this coming season. Also Djed Spence could be like a new signing. We must tighten up our defence from set pieces though.

Very excited for the new season, hope you had a good birthday and trip to Italy Ali. For your Q&A, Ange recently did a video talking about the season ahead. He was asked a question regarding what his expectations are for Spurs to which he replied saying there is no limit to what the team can achieve but no expectations. Do you think this approach is going to install that winning mentality in the players, or do you think behind the scenes he is setting the players targets involving silverware? Hope you’re well

The so-called Angeball is now being found out by other teams. Look at the goals conceded. It's junior school football. With no number 6 to batten down that defence, we will be conceding 60 goals, plus this season again. It's suicidal football, and he will be facing the sack.

Been traveling for work for almost a month and lost count how many Ali Gold videos… Now I’m in your favourite country and every time I failed to utter a word in Italian, I wished I could borrow your brain! Lol Great episode as always. You certainly lost me in explaining the squad issues. All I want to know is, where did you get your shirt? Thanks!

Happy belated birthday, Ali. I don't know what was funnier: 16-year-old Moore squaring up to Coman, Lolo and Cuti getting in the mix in a split second, or Kane very wisely making a beeline for Cuti instead of his own teammates and dragging him away... As for the Q&A: Do we know if that 150 m has ever been drawn down?

Still concerned about left back cover given could take while for Udogie to get back Head hurts, really hurts now Ali with that PhD on Premier League v UEFA regs. Going to lie down for a very long time in a darkened room 😂

We need to get another left back, can't go into the season with only one Udogie

No one's saying you should sell Richarlison and not buy another striker!!! This is a straw man. The money you can get by selling Richarlison far exceeds his ability and his actual value for the club. You SELL Richarlison, then buy a 'backup' striker, and STILL have money to spare.

Yes, it is great that Richarlison wants to fight for his place. However, Solanke is better than Richarlison. Better goalscorer, better linkup, better at pressing. Richarlison would be sold for 50-60m. If Richarlison is sold for that amount, then you can use the money to buy a new striker who is around Richarlison's level for a fraction of the money he was bought for, AND use the rest of the money to buy a left back or a winger. Wahi, a striker who is better than Richarlison, was sold for 25m today. Not saying Spurs should've signed Wahi, but 60m for Richarlison was insane and it still is. Need to cash in if possible.

I'm not convinced Noni Madueke even counts as association trained.

I agree with the thought process in regards to a slow start due to the summer workload, time off and building momentum through the season to finish stronger. The fixture worked against the club with few opportunities for the squad early, just as the club was starting to move players out that didn’t fit the vision and trying to build strong foundations with the style of play. Then injuries and international duty put the remaining players under further strain and they all had to meet a brutal schedule to end the season. So while many thought more could have been done to turn over the squad, the balancing act was already tilting. The changes also mean that the squad was going to be significantly younger over the next year or so. Transfers have shifted to younger players more than ever which exacerbates a situation that Spurs had created for itself. Many of the experienced players did not fit into the style of play that Spurs wanted to return to and the synergy had been lost changing between various managers. It is really important to choose players wisely now. Solanke seems to fit better than most, giving the team a more settled look in first halves and hopefully less frustration against the low block. Then the chance to be more relentless in second halves with Werner, Richarlison and Johnson ready to press and harass. Alvarez or Beier would have been interesting for flexibility who could both play multiple forward positions. Eze might be ok, but I sometimes wonder whether Olise is really the player people are wanting and describing. I would be interested to know where Eze thinks he plays his best football because I have queries about the style of play that suits him. Doue would have been better than both but wanted to stay in France. Even when looking at quality individual players like Rodrigo and Lo Celso they have not only been struck by injury, but they were also the ones that needed the most time training to fit into the system. When they played together they ended up shifting the style and momentum, wanting more time on the ball and building up play differently. I would also say that Maddison has not returned to full confidence since his injury setback. Many won’t like what could feel and look like a step backwards but we seem to be in an era where at least 8 teams will be competing for 4 or 5 spots every year. The EPL might have 8 of the best 20 teams in Europe in reality. It will probably take another season to build the squad that can compete in the face of injury, misfortune and high levels of competition. The ultimate path and goal has to be finding a different, disruptive way to build a squad to win the EPL.

For the Q&A What is your favorite film trilogy that doesn't star Harrison Ford.

Was dekis goal the fastest goal ever scored at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?

Hey Ali! Question for you, how would you feel if Spurs were to do a swap deal plus cash for Kyle Walker-Peters with Djed Spence, that would solve the Club-Trained Players aspect.

Goalkeeping passing out errors yet again. Need to stop doing this. Also yet again freekick marking, appalling not been adjusted which we need to quickly.

Excellent video Ali! Looking forward to the first match day and your analysis after Leicester. Cheers! Excited for your next GGTTM video too

#QandA Hey Ally. Hope you're doing well. Thanks for all your hard work! I was wondering, with players like Moore, being 17 years old and growing up through COVID, did the club have to make any special allowances to keep their youth teams developing? It seems that for established pros, missing out during the lockdown would not have been as impactful on their careers but I would have thought it can be quite damaging for others ages with development. Also, if you could have one invite to any current or former Spurs manager's hometown for a BBQ, who are you picking and why?

Solanky will be useful in defending sets pieces. If we can cut out half the goals it will be a major step forward

Super big up and good luck for Royal. Regardless of what people think about him he always gave everything often out of position. He was also a great influence in the dressing room. I’m a little worried about Richy now . I hope they get that Wesley FB from Brazil so he has a new best mate

Ali ! agree to disagree cause I think Bergvall is gonna be a proper superstar. I think he’s already now worth 30-40 million and that’s just after pre season . I feel like the fans aren’t yet aware what a coup it was to get those 2 players. Do we get a glimpse of Indy???

@Ali - do you not see Biss as a potential top 6? I'm sure he dominated thereabouts at the start of last season? (He certainly seemed to be receiving the ball a lot from defence and often deepest).

I'd definitely love a Gold and Indy channel 😁 Great vid as always Ally, shame this came out just after Bissouma's shenanigans came to light.

I loved every second of this Ali X173

Happy Birthdat

I've got great vibes about solanke, too. May Jesus protect this man from injury and bless him with the best season of his life. If we received huge money for richie and replaced him, that's one thing, but to sell him and not replace him, that can't happen. Im happy if he stays and wants to fight for a place, im definitely okay with this option as well. We have to either keep or replace. I want richie to fight, and it looks to me like he's ready to do that.

I have a feeling that now that we have Solanke Deki could be more effective as a winger again like when we had Harry . I like him more centrally but it’s an option again. I find Johnson’s form very worrying. I’ve been backing him and still am. But he has to start giving more.

Hi ali, with solomon lo celso and regi going i would leave out forster as well. I would bring kwp back as he can play on the left and right and let spence and bissouma go.

With all of Chelsea’s ridiculous signings, I wonder if Spurs will look at Madueke as an option for the wing. Would help those home grown numbers

I’ve come to the conclusion that Biss just isn’t a 6. He just doesn’t have the discipline or the legs or will to make recoveries. I really want a killer 6 before window shuts. I would like Ugarte who plays well will Bennie for Uruguay

I would start Bergvall against Leicester personally. He looks ready to me 💯

Hey 👋 Ali , hope you enjoyed your holiday. Someone on other podcast said you were in Italy 🇮🇹. You came back a tad early though we still need a 6 and a winger . The former must be done we’re far far too open . Solanke signing decent I’m warming to it.

What are you expectations for spurs season Ali? Our defensive issues still a worry - still leaking goal and brushed over a little easily by yourself in the vid. Vicario giving away two goals was a worry and same old set piece. We looked constantly open with a very narrow line, their wingers available every time. For me I think we place lower in the league as we won’t start as well as last year and hope we somehow win Europa league for champs league spot and a trophy. Even teams like West Ham could be a threat with their signings made. It seems to not be mentioned much how we have let go of hojberg who came on and steadied us so much last year - we needed a serious 6 like the top teams have and have just got worse in this area now I fear if no one comes in
