Summer 2021 - Transfer Thread

Agreed. We are only in for Vestergard because he only has a year left on his contract. Average mid-table standard defender.

Probably also because he is Danish, like Anderson

So a journo thinks 'ooh look Spurs might sign 2 Danish CB's to follow their 2 Belgian CB's Vertonghem and Alderweireld' ...... just nice click bait for the jpurno

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

Isnt he injured?

Good! smells like cheap to Danny boy, smells like victory

 

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

Good luck with getting Vlahovic to come to Spurs to be Kane's understudy and get Levy/Lewis to pay £50+ for a sub...

You clearly overlooked the part where I say its a dream.

 

[Kristeva]

bit of Kounde traffic hotting up

It's all bollocks

 

[Pathfinder]

You clearly overlooked the part where I say its a dream.

You said: "The dream for me is (if Kane goes) Vlahovic and Ings. Even if Kane stays get Vlahovic and bed him in as his replacement. "
You did not specify where exactly your dream ended and where "reality" started

Same was said about Hojberg but he has done better than expected

wonder how much ginter will go for we were linked and hes now firmly in the german team as cb

Our centre backs are so shit that it's very easy to upgrade.

I find it laughable people are turning their noses up at the likes of Andersen and Vestegard when we are currently relying on Sanchez and Dier.

Mange tout, mange tout Rodders.

Aah! La plume de ma Tante!

They're both mediocre. We had a considerably better defensive record than both Fulham and Southampton in PL last season.

I think all four of those are probably at about the same level actually.

I don't know if you follow American football but the latest (comparable) case study in professional sports is Tom Brady / Tampa Bay Bucs.

Tom Brady, a 43 year old QB left his team of ~20 years (New England Patriots), went to a below average team (Tampa Bay Bucs), and won a Super Bowl in his first year with them.

Tampa Bay basically gave him the role of general manager and allowed him to recruit whichever players we wanted to play with. They gave him the keys to the kingdom and he delivered. They are now the team to beat for the foreseeable future.

Ronaldo could be our Tom Brady. We just haven't considered that as an option yet and have not made an effort to grab him while he's out there! I would think that there isn't as much competition for his signature as we'd think. PSG? Man Utd? But even they wouldn't push that hard for a deal.

Our pitch to Ronaldo should be a 4 year deal and 150-200 million to bring in whatever players he wants to play with. If we could pull this off, we would literally go from being a club facing a painful rebuild process to THE club to watch on a global basis. Ronaldo, Kane, Son AND SISSIKO on one team? Game changing stuff.

If he brought a couple of major trophies to WHL, it would go down as one of his greatest accomplishments and cement his status as the greatest of all time.

BTW i'm half kidding about all this but at the same time, kind of serious.

P.S. Ronaldo and Nuno have the same agent...

On a purely personal level, I would hate to see that peacock strutting around WHL saying look at me, look at me, I'm Christian Ronaldo, look at me.

Our midfield will make many a centre back look shit

Not saying Dier & Sanchez arent useless because ofcourse they are

But we are going nowhere until we sort out the unbalanced mess that our midfield has become

 

[Spaniel]

I can’t be bothered to list them all out for you. Take a look at their 2020 signings and resignings. There are several pro bowlers and hall of famers on that list.

This is a football thread
No NFL talk allowed.

[Spaniel]

Oh really? My business has £800 million turnover, twice that of Spurs, and even £100K is SOMETHING. So I'm not sure where you get that £2 million is nothing.

With that kind of money. you should buy spurs....

 

[KaneDomBadBoy]

Ok fine you got me. We are betting off signing our next crop of Mouras, Lamelas, Sissokos, Dohertys etc.

 

[Doom Funk]

We wont spend a combined 50 mil on players this window

Let alone one player at that kind of price

Pure fantasy

Maybe we wanna aim a little higher than "Less shit than Sanchez and Dier" Don't know about you.
