About Think Spurs

As a long suffering Spurs fan, I've spent far too much time thinking about this club.

I thought it might be time to start writing some of these thoughts down.

That brings us to: ThinkSpurs.

This is a site for Spurs fans who watch the games every weekend... but can't stop thinking about it for the whole week in between.

Still thinking about the line-up or the tactics that didn't work, the substitutions that should've been made. The transfer target who might solve all our problems in the summer or the new manager, who's football might change our fortunes for the next decade (we can always hope...). If any of that sounds familiar, you're in the right place.

This site won't be about match reports, or instant reactions - I want this to be about the step beyond that: The health of our squad, the tactics that fit our team, the transfers that can change the club.

Three things I'll be writing about:

The pitch: how Spurs are set up, what the system is trying to do, and whether it's working.

The market: which transfers make sense, which don't, and what a serious recruitment strategy would actually look like.

The squad: player values, performance analysis, contracts, and the honest picture of what we've got and what we're missing.

One flagship feature I'm working on is theTSV Index — this is a fun little project I've been working on: It's a player valuation model I've built that looks at performance, age curve, contract situation and squad importance to put a number on every first-team player at Spurs. I'm hoping this can be our go-to reference point whenever a fee gets mentioned in the press.

This is a free site, run by a fan, for other Spurs fans. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it — and I mean that genuinely, not in a boilerplate way.

I'm also building out a Mailbox section, because very often, much of the best Spurs analysis I've ever encountered has been in comment sections on r/coys or in group chats. If you've got a take worth sharing, I want to hear it!
