The Big Jon Bass Show - A Spurs Podcast

Season 2, Episode 11 of The Big Jon Bass Show and after three weeks without Spurs, it’s time to take stock.

Tottenham return from the international break bottom of the Premier League, still searching for their first win and with Roberto De Zerbi already facing questions after a £300m+ summer rebuild.

Jon looks at what De Zerbi needs to have fixed during the break, the latest injury news around Micky van de Ven and Jan Paul van Hecke, Conor Gallagher’s case to start, James Maddison’s return to fitness and the big debate over Spurs’ best midfield and front three.

Plus, how much pressure is De Zerbi really under, what should we expect from the next run of fixtures, and could Old Trafford actually be the perfect place to finally kick-start the season?

Three weeks to reset. Now we need to see what this Tottenham team actually is.

Every major arrival. Every major departure. The deadline-day additions of Mykhailo Mudryk and Tosin Adarabioyo. The exits of Pape Matar Sarr, Kevin Danso and Mikey Moore. And, most importantly, a full look at what Tottenham’s squad actually looks like now by position.

With Sandro Tonali, Mateus Fernandes, Sávio, Omar Marmoush and a host of other new faces now in the building, has De Zerbi finally got the squad he needs?

Plus, Jon looks at Mateus Fernandes, Dominic Solanke’s return, the latest Omar Marmoush transfer rumours and the prospect of Liverpool away in the next round of the cup.

2026/27 SPURS SEASON PREVIEW, featuring Flav from The Fighting Cock.

With Roberto De Zerbi preparing for his first full season in charge of Tottenham, Jon is joined by Flav for the definitive Spurs season preview.

How much should we read into an unbeaten pre-season? Has Tottenham's huge summer transfer business actually made the squad better? And after the departures of Cristian Romero and Djed Spence, are there still major holes that need fixing?

Jon and Flav go through the Spurs squad position by position, decide who should stay and who should still leave, pick their strongest starting XIs and debate the players they're most excited to watch this season.

Plus: who's ready for a breakout year? What's the biggest thing that could derail De Zerbi's Spurs? Does having no European football give Tottenham a genuine advantage? And after narrowly avoiding relegation last season...

Just how high can Spurs realistically finish?

Jon and Flav make their final league predictions, choose their Spurs Player of the Season, top scorer, breakout star and signing of the season, before finishing with one bold prediction each that could look either inspired or completely ridiculous by May.

Season 2, Episode 5 of The Big Jon Bass Show: pre-season is done, the rebuild is taking shape, and the real football is finally here.

Jon looks at what we’ve actually learned from Roberto De Zerbi’s unbeaten pre-season, asks whether Tottenham’s £200m+ squad overhaul has genuinely made the team stronger, and discusses one of the biggest decisions of the summer as Antonin Kinsky takes over as Spurs’ number one.

There’s also the latest on the Savinho saga, continued links with Cody Gakpo and the big transfer question: if Spurs have one major signing left, should the priority be a winger or a striker?

Plus, Mathys Tel and Mikey Moore emerge as two of the biggest winners from pre-season, Tottenham’s midfield suddenly looks stacked, and interest continues to build around Pape Matar Sarr.

With the Premier League kicking off this weekend, Jon also briefly looks ahead to Brentford — with the full match preview coming separately on Patreon. https://www.patreon.com/c/TheBigJonBassShow
