OhSoSpurs Podcast

Which of Tottenham's young players are actually close to the first team? Analyst Enya Collins joins Jim to go player by player through the data: Yang Min-hyeok's mixed loan, Alfie Devine's quiet rise at Preston, Mikey Moore's breakout in Scotland, what happened to Jamie Donley, Will Lankshear's 12-goal season, Ashley Phillips' fit problem — and whether selling Luka Vušković for £50m was smart busi...

Spurs have a £200m midfield. Analyst Enya Collins joins Jim to judge Sandro Tonali and Mateus Fernandes by the numbers: progressive passing and carrying, Fernandes' creativity in a struggling West Ham side, Tonali's hidden goal threat, how the two profiles fit together under De Zerbi and which signing Enya rates more. We describe every graphic as we go, but the full charts are on the video version...

Mateus Fernandes is through the door at £85m, and A Licence Coach JJ is here to walk through what Spurs have actually bought. Two talk tracks: first, the player on the pitch — profile, role in a De Zerbi double pivot, the line-breaking question, the ball-carrying upside, the defensive cover JJ thinks he brings. Then the player at the price — whether £85m is market-realistic or bubble-inflated, and...

A full house of Originals, a full window of news. Stu, DJ, Si and Johnny join Jim to walk through what Spurs are actually building — the Champions League quality defence taking shape, the Bergvall conversation reaching panel consensus, the Will Lankshear role next season, and the reason the Tonali deal needs a little more patience. Plus: World Cup target watching, the players catching our eyes, an...

Spurs are spending close to £200 million to build the midfield De Zerbi actually wants. A-licence coach JJ joins Jim to walk through exactly what Tonali and Fernandes would bring to the system, to the squad balance, and to the bigger picture of the rebuild. - How both signings fit De Zerbi's double pivot - Why the back-line work (Senesi, Van Hecke, Porro) was the right first step - What the £200m...

Spurs need a striker. Or do they?  Enya Collins runs the data on the striker market and lands somewhere most reaction channels won't — there's a real argument we don't need one as badly as the discourse suggests. Five European targets ranked by data and eye test — including the Marseille striker with a De Zerbi connection nobody's discussing. Plus why Solanke is actually a better De Zerbi striker...

Bergvall wants out. Vuskovic wants out. £300m window. The panel can't agree. The Originals — Stu, DJ, Johnny and Jim — work through the questions that matter most this week. Should Spurs sell? Are the young players actually as good as we hoped? Lankshear, Solanke, Kinski, and where Spurs actually finish next season if every reported target lands. Plus DJ's contrarian Vuskovic take: Brighton wantin...

Sandro Tonali to Spurs has split the fanbase. Is he the deep-lying playmaker we've been crying out for? Or is he a £100m Bentancur replacement? In this week's Scouting Room, Enya Collins (data) and JJ (eye test, A-licence coach) break Tonali down on every metric that matters and answer the question the rest of Spurs YouTube isn't quite getting to. The verdict: Tonali is half of the midfield rebuil...

Spurs have just signed Jan-Paul van Hecke from Brighton. A-licence coach JJ and in-house scout DJ break him down in the first ever Scouting Room. The new OhSoSpurs format puts each transfer target through both lenses: a professional coach on the eye test, an analyst-scout on the data, both in the same room. Today's verdict: thumbs up from both, with caveats. Plus: why Spurs effectively just signed...

Spurs are winning the league. Don't laugh. The panel got there. Tonight's an OhSo33 Q&A special — every question came from the members chat. The panel takes on 10 of them across transfer maths, the Greenwood question, Mikey Moore, the priority signings, and the title-challenge thesis Jim's been pushing for weeks. Plus DJ's one-word answer that won the episode. #KeepItLilyWhite #OhSo33 Learn more a...

The data picks one of the most divisive strikers in football for Spurs. Our A-Licence coach pushes back hard. The Analyst (Enya Collins) and A Coach's View (JJ) combine for a new crossover format — three data-led targets put through the eye test. Marco Carnesecchi in goal, Angelo Stiller in midfield, Nicolas Jackson up front. Plus: why Solanke might still start the season, and the Italian player m...

Spurs' biggest gap isn't up front, it's the controller in midfield. Enya Collins ranks the five players who could fix it. After calling Van Hecke and Bohoya before either link broke, Enya turns to the deep-lying playmaker Tottenham haven't had in years. The five: Nico Gonzalez, Alex Garcia, Manuel Loccatelli, Angelo Stiller, Adam Wharton — and why one of them might quietly be the right answer over...

Spurs could spend £250 million this summer without breaching any rules. So why does everyone assume the budget is tight? Ben W — corporate finance and OhSoSpurs Business End regular — joins Jim to break down the difference between what Spurs are ALLOWED to spend (SCR rules) and what they can ACTUALLY spend (cash position). Plus: the £100m the owners already injected, the rule change that benefits...

Then the verdict on Porro and Savinho, and JJ's #1 squad priority. Plus: is finishing actuall...

Spurs just signed the Premier League's #1 rated centre back by data. So why are some red flags worth flagging?

Plus: how Senesi and Robertson reshape the squad balance, and what De Zerbi's system actuall...

Why does the football world enjoy Spurs losing this much? Aaron — ProfSpur — joins Jim for the second episode of The Professor. We unpack his essay arguing that what looks like banter is structural — a class theory of why the football world wanted Tottenham relegated, even when their own teams were celebrating.

Jim is back from the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, joined by DJ and Stu, to react to Spurs beating Everton and surviving the drop — the relief, the euphoria, and a season none of them will forget in a hurry. This is a reset episode, not a panic one. The panel digs into De Zerbi's points-per-game form, his press conference verdict on the squad and the famous "big broom", the goalkeeper question after...
