Tottenham Hotspur Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2024/25

This man should be captain.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg sent Sergio Reguilon a long WhatsApp message when he first joined Tottenham Hotspur that made a big impression on the the Spanish left-back.
Both players arrived at Spurs ahead of this current season and have quickly become big personalities within Jose Mourinho's squad and firm fan favourites with their impressive performances on the pitch.
Midfielder Hojbjerg was signed from Southampton in August with Reguilon joining from Real Madrid a month later.
The Spain international revealed that when he arrived it was the Dane, despite only being new to the team himself, who sent him a long welcome message.
"One thing that nobody knows is Pierre, when I didn't know anything about Tottenham, he sent me a message in WhatsApp," Reguilon told presenter Ben Haines on Spurs' N17 matchday online show.
"He said 'Hi I'm Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, I hope you do well and we need you. I want you to do well for the team'.
"I was like 'What?, What?' and now every time I see him I say 'Pierre, you remember it' and he says 'yes, yes'."
The defender added: "It was a big message (stretches his thumb and forefinger far apart).
"He spoke about the training centre, the team-mates, about the coach, about all [of it]. I was with my father and I said 'look Dad!'."
The message clearly left a mark on Reguilon, who acknowledged how crucial having support is when you arrive in a different country.
He said: "When you are arrive to a new stadium and a new country, it's important to have people and players that help you and Pierre does that."

Alderweireld should have been captain the last few years, with Harry and Hugo vice

100% should be Hojbjerg next season. He's one of very few that looks like a man doing a man's job when the chips are down, and is the only player I've heard speak up on the pitch during games in years.

Do you just mean dodgy as players?

As much as I'd love to think the shackles might be let go somewhat if anything they'll be tighter than ever.

Dont be 1-0 down at halftime will be the bold message

I mean dodgy - as in 'kinda' injured ..

Everton are playing well (better then we are), so it'll be a tough match. Jose is great at cup ties though, so we'll probably win it 1-0...which is fine

Id be delighted with 0-1, cant see us keeping the 0 part though.

So far Jose has been a lucky general with the cup draws. We beat Chelsea on pens but the rest have been Marine, Wycombe, Brentford and even a bye. I have a horrible feeling that an in form Everton are going to start removing Jose’s last protection, the “good” cup runs which, in reality anyway, have been unimpressive wins where we were massive favorites.

Im glad Kane's not starting. Would be even better if we could win a game without the need to bring him on. I'm not too hopeful about that though.

davycc

I'm delighted Kane is benched and hopefully we won't need him.

I'm going to predict a three one win.
Son and bergeign brace

abff

Certainly far from a second string team. Shows where Jose’s priorities lie.

Mind you, we could rest the entire team and would probably still lose to Man City next weekend the way they are playing right now.

Charliebull

whats the story with Bale

its all gone wrong for him hasnt it

Vini too

Cannot see a win sorry folks

Must score
Bright start

davycc

Go on Sanchez you beauty one nil

Lovely hurling

Be furious if wed conceded that!

Harry kane will be looking at all this ball going into the box and scratching his head!

MrKingsley

What's Jose done with 2021 Tottenham lads??

Everyone seems very positive and proactive so far

Doherty started with three successful give and goes in a row, astonishing

Ndombele done himself no favours turning his back there

Glebee

Decent start so far. Coys.

Am i imagining that Doherty slips an awful lot since he joined?

Lucas been very busy but wasteful when releasing

Lamela looking useful on the turn

Son/bergwijn not great yet

Great save lloris but chance came easy

Falling all over the place sack the bootman

SuprSi

Doherty hasn't been ****e so far, which is an improvement on all his previous appearances

Best attack in months, wonderful

davycc

Gorgeous cut back from Doherty..
Son unlucky the keeper read it

Glebee

Why cant we start every game like this. Positive football

Intercepting a lot in midfield, plenty of sharpness

Still looking like risking it a bit at the back, dunno why

SuprSi

That's brutal from Hugo

Awful goal to concede from our own bloody kickout

tom1ie

Ffs lloris.

Glebee

And were back to normality

SuprSi

Wow, 2 in 2 minutes, what the **** is going on

Should have saved it

But even before then, not gonna blame hojbjerg because we played ourselves into trouble and for no reason

Been doing that the last twenty minutes, why we'd ask our defenders to do that i cannot understand

Should have saved that too

Defenders very easily beaten there

abff

How the f*ck are we losing this game?

What a waste of a bright 40 mins

You cant just stop challenging players at this level

Lloris is no captain of this team anymore, hes weak

abff

A penalty?

Hojbjerg wtf

tom1ie

Ah ffs

abff

How the hell was that a penalty?

Jesus christ how spursy

Peter File

Game over
Time to plan for the city game now

SuprSi

Wow, 3 goals in 6 minutes. We could be in for a right hammering here now. Need half time to sort their heads out but I can't see them coming back from this. Embarrassing stuff.

I thought that too, not intentional at all, and barely touched him but it's still a foul unfortunately.
