'considered' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tottenham hotspur should' is the wordplay.

(Other definitions for thought that I've seen before include "Idea, opinion" , "Notion" , "just a trifle" , "Content of cognition" , "Philosopher must master this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
