De Jong, Kimmich, João Neves all linked with leaving their clubs.. These players are consistent passers, with great range as well. They can also dictate the tempo we play at.

The issue with these players is physicality, especially in transitions, but partnered with Sarr who will hopefully keep maturing, it could work. He’s got the legs to cover ground, and strength. But who knows

Or maybe he is alluding to Eze, but I think an upgrade on Bissouma is more needed than an 8 right now

 

[yes]

Okay. We will see how well this holds up next season when he joins Assanal/Chelsea. I will stick to my point, he is a world class player and the best in Portugal

I haven’t seen a player of this quality since Radamel Falcao, I’d say. We aren’t talking about another Vinicius here, or even Darwin. Gyokeres can create chances for himself, which is a trait I can’t say about many strikers in Europe at the moment

You’re calling someone who has never played in a top league a “world class” player.

Messi is world class. Ronaldo is world class. Kane is world class. They are called world class for dominating at the highest level.

Gyokeres is not world class. If you think that, you’re a fucking idiot.

Think we'll be getting an Onana, Palinha, Wieffer type. Tall, long legs, ball winner, stamina, tidy ball players.

Palinha is legit. Would make us nasty to play against as well.

Yep, he's a warrior, nearly 29 though, would cost a bomb, and not really enough of a passer

Didn't know he's nearly 29.... bit of a stumbling block that one.

He’s an absolute monster without the ball but he’s not who want when playing out from the press in Ange’s system.

Who is?

I am struggling to think of a real standout candidate.

Kimmich can't play prem football imo and will end up at a mega club.

De Jong wages means he is staying where he is and also not sure on him in the prem.

Doucoure when Toffes go down?

 

[Skippa18]

Gyokeres is playing in a pub league, before then he was playing in the Championship. Referring to any aspect of his game as "world class" is insane.

He might be a very good player, but he is unproven at the top level. What makes a good forward in Portugal doesn't necessarily translate to the Premier League, just look at Carlos Vinicius. Scored 24 goals in a season for Benfica, then looked totally out of his depth at Spurs.

The hype around Gyokeres needs to cool.

Yeah I remember watching the Coventry play off and I didn't think much of him. Gustavo Hamer was the one who performed on that day.

He does seem to have good fundamentals though

 

[Starks]

We should be looking at Zubimendi

 

[Dudski]

We have 5 or 6 pretty good midfield players. Sarr is young and will be a very good player for years. Biss talented but kinda flaky and needs the opposition to play a certain way for him to be at his best. Hojbjerg good squad player, probably gone soon. Maddison, super talented nearly really great player, injury prone, struggling to find his level after 2/3 injuries. Bentancur, good player, very good at times, not quite top level, plus a bad knee injury.

We have a midfield good enough to be 4th / 5th every year, need a top 6 and an adequate Maddison alternative. Hopefully Bentacur can find his form / adjust to this style of play for next season

That's the problem in a way. The midfielder players are pretty good but one or two of them will have to rise to a notch above that for Spurs to continue moving up.

It's a highlight reel I know, but he looks like the player we thought we were getting in NDombele.

Does he have a weakness for fried chicken and Lazy Boy's?

I think we’re all in on Eze.

Although appreciate he’s more attacking.

He's def not a 6.

How much would Palace ask? He's a good fit but 50m seems unlikely imo

 

[Oracle]

He’s an absolute monster without the ball but he’s not who want when playing out from the press in Ange’s system.

There’s a reason they wanted Hoijberg to replace him when he was going to Bayern in the summer.

If we could get Neves out of Saudi that would tick a lot of boxes.
