Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[Airfixx]

no but if we dont get rid of at least 4-5 of them this window then that itself is a failure

Let's do a deal then.... Unless that "failure" happens; you don't whinge..... Cool?

 

[Cranston]

honestly though i reckon it will tosin and a young promising cb

hatate most likely when we ditch maddison and jota as sons backup

would everyone be happy with that?

I didn’t realise Tapsoba has so long on his contract. He will cost a huge amount and Leverkusen know that his star is only going to rise.

I’m not sure who we will get at CB.

I actually think we will end up with Maddison as Levy has had a hard on for him for a few years. Think we wanted Conte to take him.

 

[Richard Arlison]

70m is absolutely ridiculous

They paid what it took to get their top target

 

[Achilles]

I see we've signed Victor Wembayana ....
Good, solid acquisition by the look of it....

'Dream come true': Wemby goes No. 1 to Spurs

The Victor Wembanyama era has begun in San Antonio, as the Spurs selected the phenom No. 1 overall.

Levy must really be flexing his financial muscles!!




....oh, hang on....

8 foot wingspan, get this kid a pair of gloves and some keeper training.

unless leicester go down to 45 we wont get him

can you see levy paying more for a player in the championship with one year left

look at raya

 

[FightingIllini]

me too but lets be real that seems more likely then getting in these 50 60 mill names

levy wont pay 60 for maddison lets be real, so we will drop down a few tiers for that position

He paid 60 for Richarlison.

There was a period where Levy seemed unwilling to hit the new price level for players, back in 2017-18ish. That hasn't been the major issue of late.

 

[Bill Madrid]

Haaaaaaaaang on............... Unless you can provide a photo of you and Ali G in the same room, my suspicions will continue to grow.

Hahah, I'm more the Guillem Balagué figure, in an open neck Ralph Lauren shirt, chinos and sockless deck shoes, polishing off a €3.50 bottle of Somontano (Glarima de Sommos, highly recommended bargain red wine fans) and quoting Cervantes

 

[TeamSpirit™]

Yeah but what about the Richarlison bullet

He’s Prem proven though

that was silly but maddison has one year left is rotting in the championship

no way levy pays 60 mill

 

[Richard Arlison]

Lol that last bit!

Romero was a pretty integral part of that defense that conceded a zillion goals last season...but yeah we'd likely be even shitter without him in the side.

All I want is him to start acting like a grownup and not give away silly fouls, pens, red cards. Don't think that's too much to ask?

For all his quality, you can't deny he's mad frustrating with his recklessness.

I agree he’s a mad bastard.

He does need to calm down.

Just want it to happen naturally so we don’t kill his edge like we got baited into with Dele.

Although he's a windbag, I like Alastair Gold, he's a Spurs fan who had a dull hack's job but lucked out and got a gig that most of us would die for.

He's also the nearest thing we have to an "embedded" journo, a common thing here and in Barcelona (and to some extent in Valencia and Seville). It's rare (as with Marca hacks) that he gets something wildly wrong, I always get the impression that he takes his profession very seriously.

Basically the best source for Spurs info.

O’Keefe and the Athletic guys have their moments but AG is the most consistent

I doubt he'll have to now that Newcastle have moved on.

If Fab has a cheaper backup option we should sign both of them tbh.

Since summer 2019 money spent hasn’t been the issue. It’s HOW it’s been spent.

Add in all the money spent hiring and firing managers and the staff.

The right partner will naturally calm him down. That needn't mean outright baby-sitting him either.

I think it will help him mentally not feeling like he needs to be a one-man-army at times too.


I haven't seen Arge play much, but I suspect he's not as rash for them.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Based on watching one entire game of Celtic I see Jota as a classic star man in a bad league type of player. He'd crush it in MLS but would be thoroughly mediocre in the PL.

His stats were apparently great in the champions league as well.

I push back against "the money spent hasn't been the issue" to the extent that the squad refreshing and reconstruction has been at every moment insufficient to the scale of the problem created by the previous shocking and irresponsible underinvestment.

The fullness of the last decade still represents total negligence as to the quality of the squad.

We're still miles short of getting anywhere near making up that deficit, and that's with Kane.

Even at 45-50m; I'd go for Eze instead.

Eze & Scott.

I don't sense we need a trad #10 like Maddison.

Maddison is this summers Richarlison .

In terms of singings.

If Eze can be had at that price, I agree.

It goes to my point about negotiating credibility, after the endless Zaha saga, good luck prising Eze or Olise away from them.
