Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[Carl Johnson]

Another CB is far more important signing than a ST

We are still Romero/ VDV injury away from Dier/Sanchez/Davies back in the starting 11.

This is far bigger concern than having Richarlison as first choice ST

 

[Get in!]

A one time dividend of £100 million incoming. The potential for add on dividends also there.

Spurs have never paid dividends to their shareholders, nor will they ever do in the future. Stop making shit up.

Agree

Also starting to think Hojberg out and a deputy #6 to Bissouma that means we don’t lose the press resistance is the second biggest concern.

Maybe that’s Bentancur but he may not get back to his best this season

 

[FOK]

It is but expected, club not prepared to push the boat out.
Top 8 are they are happy.

That's bollocks

 

[Airfixx]

I still think we want 3 in

Striker - Orban
MF/FWD - Eze
CB - Schuurs

Right now, as much as I want Eze.... Unless we sell GLC (and PEH), I don't think we outright need him considering what we'd have to pay.... If the argument is that he can be a square peg at RW too, then just go and buy a RW.

Would much rather see as spend big on another CB (but.... game-time yadda yadda).

I'm not against signing Orban, but buying yet another striker project (Scarlett & Veliz) doesn't feel like a game-changer given how distraught some are about Richy.

We are definitely looking at another press resistent CM as PEH replacement.

Eze and Adarabioyo would be ideal as they’re both also HG

 

[Airfixx]

Lack of outgoings is no excuse for bringing in no one after selling Kane. Second league game of the season and zero senior specialist strikers. Sort it out.

We have two.... You just obviously don't rate them.

 

[Get in!]

one striker and one rw away from doing something special

Nope. We need to tighten up the defense first. We're doing fine offensively, averaging 2.0 xG, but our xG against is atrocious. It's going to catch up with us eventually.

Why would a 3rd choice CB fix our XG against?

Seems more likely the players that we already have will fix that by getting more comfortable in the system. Any new defender coming in would also take time to be ready before they can step in for Romero or VDV.

 

[Larry David]

I really really want it to work out for Richarlison but I don’t think he’s good enough, we need to be looking at strikers that can come into the side immediately

That's a matter of time and coaching though; not recruitment..... Unless you want to replace one of our first XI defenders?

[Kane's left]

Still no more transfers in or out. Ange must be getting a bit miffed.

Miffed but prepared, I'm pretty certain he's done his background research into how the bald cunt plays his cards

 

[dondo]

With Bissouma and PMS looking like they are going to play important roles in our midfield this season the ACOF in January could be a problem. PEH possibly leaving? Bentancur’s injury? We Could probably do with another midfielder type in there

This is the second time I've largely agreed with a post of yours.

I do not like the feeling!

 

[Notabadsquad]

Look, it’s pretty simple, the club has had a decent start to the window.

You never fully complete a squad but there is still work to do.

The manager has shown in 2 games already that he’s worth getting behind. Levy might need to be less stubborn on prices to get players in and out but it’s not like this is Conte asking for multiple 70m players.

What he’s asking for seems like it fits with price ranges the club has been comfortable with before.

Accepted but any deviation from us needing or acquiring a striker would be slleepwalking into mediocrity.

The whole point of managers is to add value but Postecoglou does need more.

And not being given those players will hinder what we/he can achieve.

Dang probably the right move for his career but shame we missed out.

 

[Get in!]

Almost closed, if it was done after the window shuts he can't play for another club until January.

He can. He'd be a free agent. I don't think there's a window for those or, if there is, it extends beyond the regular transfer window.

 

[Get in!]

How stupid do you have to be to not recognise that we are paying players millions every month that never play

How stupid do you have to be to not realize that we'd be paying exactly the same whether they sit on the bench or we buy out their contracts. And by not buying out their contracts until after the window closes we at least have a chance to get some money back.

I mean, it's not that complicated. For below average to high IQs, anyway.

 

[Get in!]

But if it means you can't bring in new players because of squad space?

I don't think it'll affect bringing in new players. If you identify a new player that you absolutely must pull the trigger on right away, then you go the "get rid" route, which is always available to you.
