Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

We have Harry Kane who never gets injured and next season will be able to play every second of every game we might play.

Let's not bother about a 2nd striker because we all know they will only end up on the bench crying.

We can't afford to gamble. I hate the french prick, but if it benefits us, so be it. Besides, it would kill the Scum if he contributes even a little bit to our success.
 
Don’t see why people are against Giroud. He’s the perfect option to come in for/playing alongside Kane. He’s a better Llorente.
 
If Chelsea have money why don't we ?
I know you say the stadium but we've been run so well in the past 20 years so surely ENIC will be prepared for such a situation :D
They just had a year where they didn’t spend a penny due to transfer ban and also sold a player for 110 mill(hazard).

Their budget was probably going to be north of 250 million before covid so I wouldn’t be surprised to see them spend 175mill this summer.

They probably have the biggest transfer budget in the premier league this year.
 
So Chelsea buying Timo Werner, but the 8th richest club on the planet would have to make do with Giroud, for £5m, because Batshuyi or Abraham would be too expensive

Abraham will want first team football, especially with Euros coming up next season then the World Cup the year after. He’d get more games at Spurs, but would still want to be number 1. Also would cost £50m considering his age, nationality and experience.

Batshuayi, who I rate, again probably wants more game time. A lot of rumours he wants to go to Palace where he was on loan.

Giroud.. wants to stay in London. Happy to be number 2 and openly admitted he’d join Spurs. £5m, 2 year deal. Levy wouldn’t miss out on that.
 
We are in BIG BIG trouble if we don't invest this summer
How can we be ambitious if Chelsea are going out and getting Ziyech/Werner and we're sniffing around Chelsea rejects and some contract rebels its pathetic.
We need a CDM , CB , RB and a ST. Levy took out a loan. There are deals out there if we are creative , time to do some good business this year. No excuses because we will be even further behind.
What's the point of the stadium if there's nothing good to play in it..

Come on.

You know why Chelsea has money.

They are A) coming off of a enforced transfer ban where they were unable to spend money on players.

B) coming off the Hazard sale, which clocked in at over 100 mil.

C) Roman have been known to use the club to launder his money out of Russia.

Fair enough But my second post remains the same . We're in big trouble if we don't somewhat improve our squad

Because it's another old duffer who's best years are behind him. Perhaps that's unfair and, yes, he can do the proverbial 'job' for a year or so. But where would that leave us? Another two years on, Kane likely off and Giroud ready to audition for Celebrity Big Brother.

It's just so tiresome.

Are there 4 from this group of freebies that can significantly strengthen us do we reckon? I think so
I see good old Benji Stamboulis name in that list.... are you thinking what I’m thinking??

Bring. Him. HOME! :levywhoa:
 
It’s sickening every season we end up with fuck all and Chelsea tend to have maybe 1 or 2 baron seasons, then they are back to winning titles etc. Spurs never seem to buy the quality Chelsea do.
When Chelsea buy a player, the overriding factor is how much will he improve the team.

When we buy a player, the overriding factor is how much resale value does he have.

That's why they win trophies and we don't. Wether people are happy with that or not, no one can seriously argue it's not the case.

I think it's safe to assume that there will be next to no spending not for the first time, can't worry about Chelsea they stay amongst it by pulling off big deals and winning stuff on regular basis.
Unfortunately we are always cursed with one thing or another, I have stopped worrying about it nothing we can do about it, but if we can get top six then that can't be bad.
