Mark Chapman is joined by Jack Pitt Brooke and James Horncastle to discuss the peculiarly sensible transfer dealings of Tottenham Hotspur and what has caused Daniel Levy to rip up his playbook.
In the pod hear about the triumvirate of Levy-Conte-Paratici and how the Italian duo have influenced Levy for this transfer window. James tells us about Conte and Paratici's history at Juventus and the developing relationship Spurs are forming with Serie A. Whilst Jack gives insight on why exactly the stadium is also key to Spurs' development - and why in particular Lady Gaga is an aid to it all too.
All that plus a little bit on United - because it wouldn't be The Athletic Football Podcast without it would it?
