According to sky sports we've enquired about him, and psg want £23m for him.
What are your thoughts?
If it's doable, the obstacle is permission to work in country, then I say get this done. I don't claim to have watched much of him at all, but he is supposed to be stylistically closer to Walker than Tripps. No idea if he is better than Walker or not, but it is imperative we have an RB that has the ability to beat their opposite number, that can tackle without giving away a foul, has pace and is an athlete able to sprint and stretch play throughout the game.
It's so important to our shape, how we play and what has made us so good the past couple of years.

I love the romantic notion mate but we haven't had a team at Spurs that fits that description for 30 odd years (I like most of this team mind and the feeling is close to that). It's clear that Poch has instilled his ethics within the squad and will also deal ruthlessly if those ethics are compromised, for that reason I've no issues he picks players that will suit. Those that fall foul he deals with, so if this fella fucks about he's history, I like that and trust that.Whilst I agree, I don't want Tottenham to lose what Tottenham is all about just because it is in a pursuit for glory.
If the players on the pitch haven't got the ethos of our traditions to heart, we may as well be supporting another team. I want Tottenham boys, ones who conduct themselves with elegance and class. That's why I love the club and I'd be gutted to see us lose what we are all about by chucking money at a punt. I trust Pochettino and I really hope he scrutinises this one and weighs up all the pros and cons that come with him. A very tricky potential this one (he seems a bit more Gooner than Spurs, just am honest opinion)

Serge Aurier has a medical booked in for later this week ahead of finalising a move to Spurs, assuming all the legal paperwork arrives in time. PSG appealed against his prison sentence and a decision has been made that hasn't been made public. The fact that we are finalising a move suggests he won't be going to jail for hitting a policeman, but until the paperwork arrives we can't spend millions on him and his wages.
Might be difficult playing without a goalie...Sanchez - Alderweireld - Vertonghen
Aurier - Wanyama - Dembele - Rose
Dele - Eriksen
Kane
That is a title contending lineup.
My thoughts: If Poch wants him, and he's eligible to sign for us, then he's worth every penny. Get the fucking cheque book out and get it done.According to sky sports we've enquired about him, and psg want £23m for him.

Harry Kane by the looksMight be difficult playing without a goalie...
