Summer Transfer Thread 2023! - Closed (Maybe)

[Richard Arlison]

Offer them 35 + Winks or bonuses and walk away if they say no.

Kulusevski can do the job, we could spend 20m on Scott as back up and go harder at a winger with Gil as back up.

Or take the money Leicester want and go after Eze or another similar 8/10 from Europe.

Even 40m is more than we should commit to Maddison imo.

 

[Nahkbert]

I think we’ll get Maddison dirt cheap. Where else could he go?

 

[iz futbal]

Because footballers don't think like a negative fanbase?

Or...maybe some people are unrealistic and think what Poch did more than 4 years ago is still who we are right now?

 

[GlosYid]

Levy decided to pay 30M for a relegated Sissoko. I don't think Leicester are being that unreasonable, he's their star man, HG, concrete PL numbers. We do exactly the same thing and everyone big's it up.

 

[reachingforthestars]

Am I the only one who doesn’t really rate Maddison?

No

 

[magi]

What about Jeremy Doku ? we need someone fast

Whilst Kane is here Maddison won't have the opportunity to take free kicks

That's a bollox narrative imo, he went a fair few seasons post eriksen (including his last few seasons) watching everyone have a go at free kicks and being shit.

Probably as everyone was missing it fell to who was good in training, which no doubt was Harry

 

[Shadydan]

Except for the part where last season was not a one off bad year. Last 4 seasons were 6th, 7th, 4th, 8th. We had a one of good year with Conte. The rest have been rubbish. Im not sure Maddison or anyone cares about what we were doing under Poch, more than 4 years ago and 5 managers ago. You'd be in denial to think Newcastle in the CL and on the up are not a better proposition.

Yeah true, Maddison must be signing for us purely for the bantz then

Maybe the likes of Maddison wanting to sign signals that Spurs aren't done as a club as much as you want to believe

For Context over the Maddison deal:



“Look at The Glazers being all cheap over this!”

 

[For better or worse]

We seems to be moving reasonably quickly, in part due to Ange, but I wonder if it also helps with Kane negotiations. If we sign Maddison, the new keeper is sorted, Kulu is perm, then it seems as if we're going to try and short our shit out. This may encourage Kane to remain...

 

[BrightonSpurs]

Glad to see us moving on from Raya. I’d still love to have him but brentford really tried to screw us on the fee. I could get used to a transfer strategy of moving on quickly to other targets instead of having shit linger for weeks and weeks.

Totally agree. Get them in and get them integrated into the squad.

United will cave and pay up later. Chavs sold lots of shite with their dodgy Saudi relations.
They don’t need to shift Mount now.

He’s never worth more that much though.

Same as Maddison isn’t worth what Leicester want. Don’t think we will pay it unlike UTD

Both have a year left but on the player side Maddison is more likely to force his way out because if he stays in the championship he certainly doesn’t make the Euro 2024 squad; the likes of Jacob Ramsey and Morgan Gibbs White will surpass him.

Whilst Leicester certainly need the money more, Chelsea will still not want to lose a good value asset for free.

 

[BrightonSpurs]

I don't think "PL proven" applies as much to GK as it does to outfield players, so the risk is significantly lower.

PL proven means fuck all. Mitoma, Caicedo, Guimares, Toney, Mbueno, Martinelli, Encisco and plenty of other high performing players last year were transferred in from lower leagues or came up via the champo

 

[Wellsey]

Raya is already a PL proven keeper, he would have cost more to buy and his salary would have reflected that, he has a higher status and would have used that in negotiations.

Yeah but did he take in a Ukrainian family like Vicario??

 

[Matt1882]

To be fair we could have those issues with a player coming down from up north.

But he's not from up north

 

[Bill Madrid]

Spurs : now that you've accepted £35m , I insist that you accept £30mil

Piece of piss this negotiating lark

I'd hate to be the bloke in the metaphorical corner shop when Levy pops down to buy a metaphorical pint of milk.

Bloke: That'll be a pound please.
DL: I'll give you 90p.
Bloke: No, a pint of milk costs a pound.
DL: And I've said I'll give you 90p.
Bloke: Sorry, it's a pound. Take it or leave it.
DL: My final offer is 85p.
Bloke: It was 90p a minute ago.
DL: And now it's 85p.
Bloke: Oh for fuck's sake, have it for 85p. There's a queue forming behind you.
DL: I'll give you 80p...

 

[deadleyledley]

There's a lot to be said about defenders and midfielders having the faith to pass back to their keeper when they are under pressure. You can see this clearly in the clips.

Our defenders as bad as they have been, have not been helped by the fact the option to pass back to Lloris is not on because he can't kick.

Facts.

Richarlison is “PL proven”

Ditto Hoejberg

David Bentley, Darren Bent. It’s a fallacy people cling to for easily debunked reasons.

IMO There’s probably only 3 players who would have a shot of making an all-time Spurs prem XI who were:

A) at least 25 years old

and

B) had at least two years of English top experience prior to joining .


Teddy Sheringham, David Ginola and Mousa Dembele

Agree.

Honestly don’t really care what Mount does because he’s not coming here in a million years.

Maybe UtD are in the shadows for Maddison if Mount falls through. Personally ok with me if they paid the 50-60m that Leicester want.
