We need the right striker though. We can't have another Janssen/Nkoudou/N'jie situation where if he's no good we struggle to shift him.
Lamela wouldn't play half of Championship games because injuries.
The only underwhelming thing would be signing nobody. Yes he isn't as flashy as others we're linked to, but he's 10000000x better than having no one behind Kane.
True, but we are better than that. Or is it wrong expectations to believe spurs is a club to push for better.100000% agree with this. I would love a flashy link that is a player that could perform now and in the future if the worse was to happen and Kane leaves, but for the overall squad - this guy is better than nobody and I could see him chipping in with important goals.
Expectation Vs Reality.True, but we are better than that. Or is it wrong expectations to believe spurs is a club to push for better.
I think he's underrated by some on here. Similar to my opinion of Sangare. Hard to judge the best player on a very bad team. That said for a top 6 fighting PL side he is probably the biggest gamble of those we have been linked with.
I think by keeping the fee as low as discussed we should be fine. If he's a bust we would still get close to recouping €10-15 from a french team in a couple of years.
TBH there is no reason for us not to just increase his wages by a bit. For example from 10k to 30k. Big win for the player and not out of control. Can't really lose then.The problem with that is that French teams wont pay PL level wages.
Still believe that Diallo could be a good option though.
Cheers for that Debbie

It was by Alan Nixon who is a good journo and was first on our Watkins interest, even if that went tits up. His actual claim is that King is who we are looking at but we are speaking to Diallo as plan B.Depends who has written it in the Sun. seems like a likely deal for us to do doesn’t it?
What about the fact that his strike rate in a similar strength league is considerable worse?Looks a much better deal than Vinicius if the figures are anywhere near accurate. If anything, I'd say Diallo has a better first touch and is also a very composed finisher. We also wouldn't have to shell out a fortune to Jorge 'effing' Mendes.

"Tottenham are now looking into a move after missing out on Ollie Watkins, who has joined Aston Villa.
King can cover for Harry Kane or play out wide, making him ideal if the price is right.
Villa, Fulham and Everton are also short-listing King should the Norwegian, 28, be available in the £15m range.
Spurs are in talks with Habib Diallo at French club Metz as a potential alternative.
The speedy Senegalese forward, 25, would cost Spurs £13m."
I think that article sounds pretty realistic to me. That’s the market we’re going to be in.
