Glory be!
Clinton Baptiste has been confirmed.
Collateral damage was incurred by L’Equipe, who went for the ubiquitous ‘Arsenal to gazump’ piece, just hours before the Spurs Official intern was given the green light to hit publish.
My guess was that it was more likely to be Colchester United.
In case you were wondering how to pronounce the new lad’s name, our trusty friends at the club have released a video!
All I can gather from watching the clip is that the N in Clinton isn’t silent.
Look, I only add this to rile those who blew a gasket on the last blog, because I had the affront to suggest this guy may not quite be of the required standard.
Of course, I hope I am wrong and he has a fabulously long and successful career at Tottenham.
We play Stoke later on and it looks as if Hugo will start.
“I’m happy with Hugo Lloris [wrist] and Alex Pritchard [who had respective wrist and ankle problems],” Pochettino said. “Last week Danny Rose had a little injury, but this week all players are fit.
“This is important for us, a problem for me but a good problem. It’s a shame I can only pick 18 players.”
Our Squad: Lloris, McGee, Vorm, Alderweireld, Davies, Dier, Fazio, Rose, Trippier, Vertonghen, Walker, Wimmer, Yedlin, Alli, Bentaleb, Carroll, Chadli, Dembele, Eriksen, Lamela, Mason, Onomah, Pritchard, Townsend, Winks, Kane.
Prediction?
1-1.
