The Club x Club series takes on the summer's second-biggest spenders, Tottenham, and it's a minefield: a raft of new signings, a pile of injuries and returning players, and a stack of transfer rumours the lads have no answers to yet. Lots of question marks, and a De Zerbi side that could go either way.

They work the board. The one defender all three would break their rules for and take in the second round, the returning winger the group is buying on vibes and one-game-a-week appeal despite the ghost-point worries, and the most polarizing name of the episode, a former star with no recent data whose entire value rides on getting fit and staying fit. There's a proper breakdown of the crowded, unsettled centre-back picture and who actually starts, the run on Spurs players the hosts predict and pinpoint to a specific round, and the striker question, a rental-priced option versus an injured higher pick. Plus the left-wing sleeper the lads love if no winger arrives, and a couple of late fliers.

It closes honestly: more questions than answers, one elite asset, one high-upside gamble, and one potential steal if the stars align. Recorded on August 12th, so expect the rumours to resolve fast.
