Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[GGTH]

There was a scouting video from when Vuskovic was 15 that listed his height at 193, so he grew 1 CM since then, I'm guessing he won't grow much, maybe he'll reach 6'5, though who knows.

 

[Ionman34]

At 15 my nephew was 6'2'' and wore size 15 shoes, he's now 30, his feet are the same size and he's only a couple of inches taller.

Maybe this guy has just done most of his growing already.

Yup. I was 6'4" at 17, I'm still 6'4" now.

Actually I'm 6'3" now, you actually do shrink with age!

 

[Spaniel]

I grew about 6 inches over the summer when I was 16, went back to school and I was suddenly a head taller than my classmates....really freaked them out...

Did your mum make you spend the holidays standing in a pot of Baby Bio...?

Golden Boots Society?



Love that idea but there is no way Spurs could ever be in it if you look at our recent history LOL

LOL, what's this bollocks? The Illuminati are in charge of football?

Irony of the illuminati is that they are a conspiracy theory invented to make people believe in conspiracies

It's a family thing, happened to my dad at the same age...

Ange's considered opinion after a handful of matches.

“I always felt this window was about making the first steps to rebuilding the squad and I think they’ve been positive first steps.”

Worth a watch

 

[Smogz]

Which is a bit of a concern. If he's 6'4" at 16, what happens if he grows to 6'8" by the time he's 18-19? There have been tall football players, but this tall? And for a defender? How quick can a 6'8" CB be?

We can sell him to the NBA

We can sell him to the NBA

You're suggesting a business arrangement of some kind with the NBA???

If this Croatian kid grows a DM two, I do. I'm sure the new lane can host a NBA game or two also

Thought Ansu Fati looked good for Brighton last night. Can see him having a decent season for them

Missed a great chance against United.

Hope he flops.

linked again today to 'both footed' left winger jota

he is ineligible to play as he's the 9th overseas player in a squad that's allowed 8 max. epic balls up lol

we have 17 max overseas in our squad so i can't see how this would work? unless: cancelling a contract (ivan) and bringing him in that way?

 

[jahbalon]

Kyogo, and another quality creative midfielder would be great.

We have Hugo as a very disposable non-HG.

You'd have thought that those who marked this window at less than say 5/10 would have the grace to go back to adjust their vote (as the thread allows) after seeing Vicario, Van de Ven and Maddison have top class games for us yesterday - and see Johnson was selected to start one of the most difficult games he's likely to get in PL anywhere whilst Solomon is a very credible squad player (and I suspect we will find better than Moura ?). Plus see we have brought in highly rated youngsters Phillips and Veliz who's effects we will only see in a year or two.

I voted 7/10 as the window closed and think I got things about right. But could mark higher after yesterday's performances

And very happy to see the performances in the 6 PL games so far, and seeing the team gradually gell.

Gotta laugh at Gazzapen - Voted 3/10 and yet claims the only reason Ange is doing well is that he's had lots of backing that Conte didn't get.
