Considering Chelsea’s contract lengths, it’s no wonder players chose them. No matter what happens - bad form, injuries - they’re set for majority of their careers.
It also has the potential to massively backfire for Chelsea, we’ll have to wait and see.
I fully expect a bumpy season, or at least until November/December. But I don’t think losing Kane is as big of a deal as many would guess. Yes, making up for thirty goals is a massive task and last season Spurs would get into relegation fight without Kane, but there’s new coach now, probably strengthened defense and attack seems to still be decent. I’d argue when Spurs lost Bale, they were more of a one man team than now and they survived it fine.
TLDR: I think 6th could be both achievable and considered a success in Ange’s first season.
Ten thousand people (though I’d guess it’s even less) is laughable, nearly a non-event. Especially considering in the past these organisers were able to gather a much larger crowd.
“Terrific couple of deals for Spurs. They’re getting James Maddison for £40m and Harry Winks is heading to Leicester in a separate deal for £10m. Maddison is the perfect fit for Postecoglou and Winks should do really well at Leicester and help them in their bid to get back up.”

It’s not part of the plans — and they’ve not received any concrete bid at this stage. Son looks also determined to continue at Tottenham.
Where do Spurs finish in the table?
I have no idea. Curious where you guys are.
