Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

So United spent 55 million to fuck over their better right back (Dalot)?

lmao

For serious tho, they have two very highly rated young right back prospects if the AWB news is true. One is going to have their career curtailed.
 
It's a long time until the end of the transfer window on August 8th - another 6 weeks or so !

Personally hoping there was truth in the rumour that Aulas needed to register the Ndombele deal before the end of June for Lyon FFP purposes, which would mean getting an announcement either next week or first week of July.

Equally Eu21 tournament finishes at end June so that's another announcement that might come in first week of July.

Toby's window to accept an offer to go elsewhere is rumoured to end 2 weeks before TW closes meaning end of 3rd week in July so we could have a longer wait for news of that - and any incoming CB.

Whilst Poch would probably prefer Lo Celso here for start of preseason I am not sure whether Betis have any real time pressure on the to get things done, and Lo Celso probably goes on his 3 week vacation after Copa America finishes ( final is July 7) so again there is no obvious timescale that this one might be finalised.

Any other senior players arriving imo depend on senior players leaving, and if Eriksen and Toby leave not sure how many others we would allow to leave - too much transition in the squad would mean too much time spent integrating the squad and getting first choice players learning how all the other players play etc.

The likes of Clarke arriving could be announced any time, but I suspect we will wait for one or two senior players arrive before announcing the likes of him.

So very likely some time to wait before we can relax a bit !
 
If true, it's called backing your manager who has done nothing in the management game.

And yet we continue to posture after nearly 19 months.

Pochettino will simply be watching and waiting.


I'd say it's a bit of a panic buy

They already have a huge transfer budget......but that could easily rise by £150m-£200m with sales of Pogba and Lukaku

They desperately need to prove they can sign someone.....anyone

LB/RB isn't even United's biggest problem with Dalot/Shaw. It's their CBs.

AWB is quite good though and only 21 and homegrown. Still a lot to prove though.

Not for me.

They are still United.

In some respects this is as much for Soljskaer as it probably is for whoever succeeds him.

We will end up with scraps of sh!t if we are not careful, a new manager and mid-table mediocrity.

Beware Mr Complacent, who has been hanging around for a year and a half.
 
Take your head out of the sand a little.

I asked for clarity on your comments..

How about you stop talking in riddles and your usual cryptic twaddle?

What the fuck does "stripped bare" mean in that context?

The posturing, at least as I see it is that we can't even bid the number for players our managers wants or seem to think waving our gonads alone will attract the talent we clearly need.

I'll repeat my original questions and we can go from there if you choose....

Do you not think "posturing" when the window is not open is more than a little bit futile?

Pretty sure everyone would just get on with the rest of their responsibilities.

...Any evidence of this "posturing" you speak of?

Additionally: In real terms, what does "waving your gonads" even mean?


We can find no one goof enough and cannot or will not pay for those who might just walk into our 13 defeats last season team and so just how to be anything but critical.

State of this sentence.... Yet you think I'm the problem? :roll:
 
Alasdair must have been reading the messages on here slagging him off for his usually shite content with the timing of that article lol.

In all seriousness that's some BIG news right there when it's coming from him(or likely the club itself)

I don't get the hate towards him. He's a reporter. Not ITK

A lot of people complain about the lack of Spurs news, yet we have a dedicated writer who keeps us updated with anything relevant.
