On his day he's unreal to watch. He's also injury prone and often goes missing in games, is nearly 26, was hopeless from about February on after a calf injury, not a dependable finisher. Hope there's nothing to this rumour tbh, I don't think he'd be a smart buy even though I like watching him play.

Yeah, the ability we paid for is definitely there but some combination of durability, athleticism and commitment hasn't been. The previous manager didn't help but it's down to the players at the end of the day. I'd like to see both get a fair crack this season and then reassess in January/next summer.
Pedro's 18 years old? He's turning 34 in 2 weeks' time and no longer plays for Barca but for Roma.
However, I wouldn't mind Pedri, who's 18 years old
Firstly imo we should keep both, I have a suspicion that one of them will really shine this season (but not sure which of the two).
Secondly, I don't see anyone buying them this window. Most clubs have no cash.
Have to agree with this setiment. We're a few weeks into the window now and we've done NOTHING.
We need to sell and buy quite a few players. The amount of haggling we are doing over what I'd describe as a relatively 'easy signing' (Not high price tag and no competition) doesn't bode well for the future business we HAVE to do.
I like the sort of names we are being linked to at CB but there's two things to consider.
- We need a CB urgently and yet we are seemingly just looking around names not actually looking to make a deal done.
- The calibre of CB's we are looking at will be relatively pricy/competitive deals. We need to be savvy and get a move on to get these sort of deals done.
It fustrates me so much that there are so many players out there who would be available for cheap prices and yet Tottenham just seem to pass them up or not look at them
Imo we need
- 2 CBS (maybe only 1 if we play a back 4 and keep the rest of the other CB's)
- 1 RB (Tomiyasu isn't the sort of RB we need , we need an attacking RB)
- 1 Backup ST (Maybe someone to play with Kane maybe someone to give him a rest. Ings would be a great signing)
- 1 attacker (Maybe a creative midfiedler or a RW depending on formation)
Bale scored 17 goals last season. We need to replace him clearly.
The sort of savvy signings I would like to see us do are for players with 1yr left or clubs who really need to sell.
- Aouar (Lyon)
- Caleta-Car/Kamara (Marseille)
- Ings (Southampton)
-Sabitzer (Leipzig)
- Barcelona players perhaps who they desperately need to get rid of. Eg. Coutinho imo would be a good opportunity.
Not defending Levy & Lewis .... but defending Nuno & Paratici, who both arrived at the club just 2 weeks ago.
At least give Nuno more than a few days to assert the players before he starts selling some of them.
Besides, few EPL clubs have made any big transfers so far (apart from Sanch to Man Utd).
He was exceptional at the COPA.
Before all the naysayers talk about the level of competition in the final during the first half a free-kick was awarded every two minutes (seriously) i watched every minute of it.
He handled the physical game fine, and while he's fit he should absolutely start for us.
I reckon that Pochettino owes Spurs some favours and that he could redeem himself from some of the rather non-successful transfers while at Spurs by convincing PSG to splash out £20m for Aurier and the £55m he spent on Ndombele.
After all, he just spent £51m on a right-back, Hakimi.

Pedant! That’s the one…
Another one we apparently looked at... and then again..... and then said "Nah.... Not for us."...
I wasn't that impressed at the Euros.
The worst thing was that it was entirely predictable. The "I didn't have a pre-season with the squad" excuses will be drafted already. I'd wager that it is already too late.
I don't even want fancy signings. I'd be fine with prospects from lower leagues. I just want the players who feel they are better off elsewhere gone. For us and for them.
Clean Slate FC forever more.
Fair enough. But nobody in the top 6 needs to make more changes than us and so far we have done nothing.
If going by the manager appointment fiasco we will continue to do nothing.
To dare is to look closely at.
Def had his moments for me, but admittedly there was a lot of wasteage up front for Spain.....
Both.
United will want to sell him to avoid paying Monaco that extra 30 million when he wins the balon d'Or
