The Spurs Transfer Wishlist & Scouting Thread

[spursfan77]

Gomes is not in our plans so not sure why that one keeps coming up ?

Theyve got nobody else to link us to, I suspect. Got to fill webspace with some nonsense.

I'd rather club spent 35m more on a cm then sign sessegnon for that price when we can just tell him to wait and sign him for practically nothing in a year

We would still have to pay a fee for Sessegnon if his contract ran out before he turns 25. The fee would be set by a tribunial.

I’d love to see us go all out for Wan-Bissaka - English, tall, athletic, perfect kind of right back for us.

But bit discouraging seeing his comments about staying at Palace (yeah yeah I know players always say this so hoping things change).

He would be tough to get though as will probably be on a lot of clubs radars.

IMO he's the sort of player we could spend the entire transfer window chasing and end up with Trippier at the end of it. Remember Zaha?

Very valid points Dan, I forgot about the party lifestyle he tends to enjoy, and as far as I'm aware this is one of the reasons Zidane doesn't want him back in the Madrid squad.

I'd rather we spent that money on a player like Brooks, but overall if we had to settle for James because we can't sign a young HG player in the same position I think Poch could turn his head and lifestyle around. All depends on the player at the end of the day, we are all human beings and we are capable of change if given the right circumstances and environment to do so. But he would have to want to change, no person or club could force that on him.

Poch isn't a magician you know

Youcef Atal is pretty much this season's Ricardo Pereira. Hopefully we don't fuck up again if we want him.

Remember how we were linked for 3 months and then ended paying the price he went to Leicester for Serge Aurier.

Leicester have just used our model of the last 7-8 years. Buying up and coming talent.

It’s all well and good saying we should only sign tier 1 players, but if we have a current player where tier 2 is an improvement on what we have (all full backs, Lamela, at least two of our central midfielders) then we’d be bananas to not go for it. Nobody would consider Henderson, Milner or Wijnaldum tier 1 yet look how many matches each has played in an excited, attacking, title challenging side.

'if we had to settle' for James Rodriguez over David Brooks lmao.

We did try and buy Winaldum from Newcastle. Was at Poch’s house. No doubt wages would be the problem then. Same for Mane. Those problems should be in the past I hope.

 

[aussiespursguy]

Interesting if true, James at £40m would be a steal. Still capable of world class performances, I think under Poch he would flourish. I doubt we are interested though and I am sure he will have other suitors but would be a smart piece of business if we were.

Pardon my french but "lazy luxury fuck". No thanks at all. Pass. Move on.

Atal looks much better defensively than Pereira, which is imo the reason we didn't go for him

I hear you but it's really time now to stop going for tier 2 and go all out for our 1st choice. One thing ive learnt in life go for your best /1st pay that difference because it will work out cheaper and you will enjoy it better in the long run.

We have some seriously good talented players in the development squad. I'm all for them being given a chance rather than squad filling...example Milner is a free agent and so is Rabiot, my first choice is Rabiot, if we can't get Rabiot for example I'd rather we gave Amos Onomah Skipp the opportunity.

What’s the actual official date the TW opens this year for Premier League clubs?

 

[Dharmabum]

for me if Poch thinks KWP is ready I would just sell Trippier. I would only sell both if we had a high level replacement, and I like AWB but not with just KWP as back up, as we all know with Poch, when fit they will rotate every game.

Rose I'm still worried about even though he has shown improvement. I would keep Davies as back up for Jan, and if the price was right, take a chance on Sessengnon.

Berge sounds great and not costly, but at the moment we don't need to be buying players from very weak leagues for them to struggle, and then struggle to move on.

I'd be happy if Eriksen could sign a new contract, if he doesn't, and doesn't move on, we will have to hope he gives us his best in his final season. wouldn't be unhappy with Grealish and Tilemans, but would rather go for David Brooks instead of Zaha.

Poch only rotate every other game those players who are not markedly better than their "direct competitor" - like Tripper & Aurier, Rose & Davies (when Rose was fit he played more often than not), Dier & Wanyama (when both were fit).
Poch plays Jan, Eriksen, Dele, Son, Kane every game when they're fit.

I agree that players from weaker leagues in general will take more time to adjust but once they make it big in better leagues they'll take too "big" fees for Spurs to get them. There are plenty of players from "very weak leagues" doing very well in the EPL.
Oh, btw, I keep on reading on SC that ligue 1 is a Mickey Mouse league etc....but Ligue 1 have produced far more top-notch - and even world class - players than EPL itself has...

If Spurs sell Eriksen I'd play Dele as the playmaker and rather buy 1 or 2 pacey, technical, goal scoring wide forwards (fex Leon Bailey or David Neres, Yannik Carrasco, Niclas Pepe. PS! There are "questions" regarding the attitude of both Carrasco and Bailey and Pepe may be too costly already).
Dele's got the work rate, he's got the "presence" and's a (much) better tackler and header than Eriksen, he's got an eye for the killer pass, and he's excellent in timing his runs into the box. But he doesn't have the speed to a wide forward need, and Spurs need that killer speed up front as Kane doesn't have it and, despite being fast, Son's also not got it.

Same. I fear he would be our Özil.

If anybody makes a shit joke about it being the end of the window for us, they should be banned.

Posting this to dissuade potential posters.

 

[THFCSPURS19]

It’s already the end of the window for us anyway hahahahhahahaahhaaa #banter

Yeh, Bruno please.

if you went through the Spurs squad the last 2 or 3 seasons, Poch has mainly only rotated his full backs, the only exception being when 1 is injured

 

[dirtyh]

given that all the 'big' clubs are after the same list of players, i'd rather us hoover up as much of the breaking english talent as possible (brooks/awb/grealish/sessegnon/james of swansea) and go massive for a proper tier 1 player.

city are allegedly chasing fernandes/felix/ndombele as are united, as are real, as are juventus, etc, etc, etc. You feel we have to make a statement signing at some point (obv de jong was almost done).
