Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[Kid Chameleon]

You don't just phone Just CBs and have the new Jan and Toby brought round 15 minutes later by a cycle despatch rider

More like an hour or more in my area.

Levy will just say that Subway messed the order up.

LeParisien , his alter ego le grand coq , and the rest of the squad getting briefed by our wonderful PR team as we speak

Agree but I think you mean “programmed” not “briefed” … Go Levybots!

I’m seeing the future and it’s all about Lenglet for a cut rate fee in a couple weeks - Don’t want to get him now because we want to save a couple of weeks wages.

 

[RealCoolYid]

Exactly. He has a price ..at which he becomes for sale

 

[Tomo]

"Elite" CBs no longer cost 50m and won't be interested in signing for the current iteration of Spurs anyway.

Good with potential for growth is the most we can currently expect to attract.... Hence our current targets..... And they'll still prob clock up north of 80m for the pair.

Ok let me rephrase potential elite CB’s which Tapsoba is in, we can’t go into the season with the current backline and not expect it to kick our arse.

He doesn't need to prove it. It's something you hear all the time. You remember all the stories about Luis Enrique preparing PPts with his complete plan for the squad in his Chelsea ITW.

He had that ready because he's a professional and wanted to know what he needed to be successful.

If you are defending the club on the CB hunt, it's you that needs to sit down and shut up my friend.

Find me a post where I've defended the club on the CB hunt you fucking clown. (which is an entirely different point to the one I was making).

And yes, if he wants to make claims, he does need to prove it. Otherwise, all it is is opinion, not fact.

Now my suggestion to you, my friend, would be for you to immediately apologise for trying to claim that I was defending the CB situation (which is a weird flex because that was nowhere near the point being discussed).

Sit down and shut up, yourself.

If your next post to me isn't an apology, then don't post.

 

[Airfixx]

You know that Tapsoba isn't elite?

Not by typical definition of the word; no.

............You have a point behind this?

....You think he is one of the best in the world?

Fuck You, you Fucking Clown.

How you like that for an apology?

 

[RealCoolYid]

I want Gleison Bremer to be honest.

You wanted him last year

He’s a bit dated this window.

 

[Herclueless]

Wonder what the excuses will be if we don't bring a couple of new CBs in before the window closes ?

I'm hoping for some creative submissions

With the faff we're making of it, you'd be excused for thinking that we have a really strong group of CBs that it's difficult to upgrade upon.

When the reality is that a Fulham reserve and the work experience kid from Blackburn Rovers would revolutionise your backline, there's really no excuse for it dragging on this long.

You said elite CBs won't come here. Surely the club have identified him as elite if they want to sign him?

 

[Airfixx]

Ok let me rephrase potential elite CB’s which Tapsoba is in, we can’t go into the season with the current backline and not expect it to kick our arse.

I've not suggested for a split second that we don't need some CB upgrades.

 

[nicoclaesen]

Makes ya laugh...... All these fuckers were declaring things like "close", "progressing", "positive meetings", "agreed with player" and all that jazz weeks ago.... For both him and Tappy.

I know,that’s why we shouldn’t bother with them.

If you want an elite CB, you should buy J. Sutalo from Dinamo Zagreb. They are my rivals and would really like for him to go as he is beast. Dont think there is much difference between him and Gvardiol in quality of build up play or defending but Sutalo is cheaper because he comes from weaker club. For 20m he is surely available. As I lived in Germany I also watched and still watch BL, I am pretty sure neither Tapsoba or Van de Ven are better than him.

NOW you're talking my language.

I approve!

 

[RealCoolYid]

I find it a bit amusing that most people on here are foaming at the mouth for Tapsoba and VDV. I guarantee you pretty much everyone hasn’t even seen the pair of them play 90 minutes before.

Well the essence of it is

We need 2 CBs

These are the clubs chosen ones

So to identify them begin negotiations and not buy them is fucking small time

I’ve never seen either play … but that’s not the point

 

[cretinousgoat]

No, it's not.

 

[Jaynola]

Great post

Just a bit of banter, mon ami Not engaging you in another (pointless) IN vs OUT debate.

Be well.

 

[RealCoolYid]

You’re well off here buddy. Cherki is French and playing in Ligue 1. That means BC has seen him play more than his own parents have.

If a player eats croissants for breakfast then BC will know everything about them, it’s a rule.

Could you imagine if Rice was French
