He is not good enough to start ,his end product is terrible .Also Sessegnon was the left footed version of Royal today. At least we have Perisic now.
Perisic - good player, should be an upgrade on Reguilon/Sessegnon, let’s see how he fits in Premier League and if he can stay fit.
Bissouma - I like him, I think he’s going to be our best midfielder. Good transfer fee aswell.
Richarlison - not a fan, but he can cover all front three. Interested to see him play, hopefully he can provide goals or assists when he’s on the pitch.
Langlet - really not sure what to say about this one. Could be decent I guess, but I don’t think at the moment he’s an upgrade on Davies.
Bergwijn - not the best player in the team but I think Conte may have not played him to his strengths. I thought he showed signs of quality and possibly a string of games away to show what he can do.
Per overall,
Forster is not an upgrade on Gollini (didn’t expect to)
Perisic should be an upgrade at LWB, but let’s see.
Bissouma is definitely an upgrade.
Richarlison is a better option than Moura in attack, but I don’t know if he’s really a better player than Bergwijn.
Langlet not an upgrade in defence.
So imo we’ve improved CM and possibly LWB. Still need a RWB and a CB at least imo, maybe a creative midfielder too, to consider this an effective transfer window.
What annoys me the most with him is How fucking slow he is with the ball, he receives like 5 times a game the ball without any player around and wait until someone mark him to do something, he doesn't fucking knows what to do with a ball.He is not good enough to start ,his end product is terrible .
I think it’s just that he’s been found out at this level he never looks comfortable on the ball never takes his man on always looking to pass the ball back ,will be a decent player for a bottom 10 side but but not good enough to start for us .
To be fair to Pinhead, he had no choice to sell him. He should have sold for a lower price earlier to give time to sort a replacementThere is some mitigation. I remember watching one pre-season match where Berba was strolling about playing through balls for new signing Gio dos Santos like they'd been teammates for ever.
Come deadline day, Levy flogged the genius Berba to manure (securing journeyman Fraizer Campbell as a loan replacement lol), and GDS was (allegedly) turning up late for training....
We need another CB, RWB and AM. IMO.Do we need another CB?
Seems to be a narrative building on twitter that our fans aren't happy right now because we 'missed out' on Koulibaly.
Would you be happy to go into the season with our current defence or do we need another?
Not young at 26 (looks older) and zero Brazil caps.Tottenham ready to ask about Rodrigo Becao's asking price
Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to ask for the asking price for Udinese defender Rodrigo Becao, who is also wanted by Everton.tbrfootball.com
Tottenham Hotspur are ready to ask for information on the price for Udinese centre-back Rodrigo Becao, according to a report from Italian outlet Messaggero Veneto.
Spurs have been one of the pace-setters in the transfer window. They have done some brilliant business and strengthened in a number of areas.
One of those is at centre-back, with Clement Lenglet arriving on loan from Barcelona. But it would appear that they are looking to add even more depth to the ranks.
Udinese are ready to sell the Brazilian. And there are a number of sides keen on signing Becao.
According to Messaggero Veneto, Torino and Everton are the two sides most interested in the 26-year-old. But Tottenham are also keen and are ready to ask what price the Serie A side want.
Udinese would reportedly sell Becao for around £16.9 million.
Tottenham ready to ask about Rodrigo Becao
Becao would be an interesting signing for Tottenham. Reports have linked Spurs with the likes of Josko Gvardiol and Alessandro Bastoni. So some will be underwhelmed with the idea of signing Becao.
In fairness, it does appear that Everton may be his most likely destination if he does prove to be Premier League-bound.
Tottenham do have plenty of depth at centre-back. The likes of Davinson Sanchez and Joe Rodon are excellent rotation options – should they stick around.
Becao would not cost a lot. And he should be at the peak of his powers given his age. He wins a lot of tackles and is keen to work hard for the team.
He is probably one of the options Fabio Paratici is keeping in mind as he pursues his top target. But maybe it is one name to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
I thought Sess did well. Instead of cutting inside (as he did last season) he kept pushing down the wing and put in a few decent crosses.
I'm fully willing to admit I've never seen him play and only want him to boil Goons pissPaqueta is still not worth 55 mil either. He’s 30 mil tops. He couldn’t hack it in Italy and he was maybe Lyons third best midfielder.
And just like thatCB talk has gone very quiet..
do we still think we're looking at one of Bremer, Torres, Ndicka, Bastoni.
I get the wait for Bastoni/Gvardiol next summer but we need a top CB in regardless.
The scum getting linked with Paqueta too. Really unsure on him, maybe just wary of being burned again after Tanguy!
