Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Of the players we are linked with PEH and Callum have the potential to be decent players for us while Kim Min Jae and Eze in a couple of seasons with the right management could go far I think.
 
Willian is still a quality player, but somehow I can’t get over his taunting of us when he scores the midget cunt. Has been laughing with the Chelsea fans at us for years in regards to his failed move to us. Most of my mates are Chelsea fans and he loves it when they sing the Willian / Spurs Song. Guys a cunt sorry.
I wouldn't be surprised if once willian signs a contract with a new team he kind of coasts & loses interest. Already half a mind on retiring back to Brazil.
 
This rumor could explain why we are linked to Brozovic

Tonali would be awesome. And at €35m.....
Either way if we could swap Sissoko for Brozovic we’re instantly improved
 
I mean, every team needs a world class player lol

Brozovic is rated miles ahead of Sissoko. How would it be a disappointment at all?

The disappoint would be that we are adding Brozovic, likely to start, rather than a proper player that is at top 4 level.

If we were swapping to have Brozovic on the bench sure that would be amazing but it would be just another move to keep us mediocre rather than actually improving the team by adding talent.

Kim Min Jae is a 23 year old Chinese League level player, I don't see it being likely that he is ever more than a warm body if we add him.

As for PEH and Wilson, decent is nice when they are secondary signings or your team is already flying but when you are in 6th place with massive holes I am not sure we want our marquee signings to be decent. NOt knocking them as they would help but hopefully we do a hell of a lot more than PEH, Wilson, Kim and Eze.

Brozovic would be the best DM on the squad, including Hojbjerg.

Brozovic would be perfect for what Mourinho wants though. He’s not looking for midfielders to dominate the ball, he’s looking for tactically switched on, positionally astute guys who can shut down space and set our attackers off on quick counters.

I don't think Brozovic is really a DM, I think he can play there but not sure it is his best position.

But even it was I think that statement is a problem if true, especially if you around at what we have. Brozovic should not be the best DM we have, if he is that is not a positive about him but a negative about how poor our roster is.

I am not saying we can get any of them but look at some on the other names in regards to Inter that have been talked about in MF, Barella and Tonelli. Both are so much better than him, Those are the level of players we should go after, the kind that Inter is reportedly keeping and reportedly using to replace Brozovic.

Maybe I am overrating we where are in the footballing world but I am not sure we should be happy that we get Inters scraps and now make them starters. I am hoping that we have more ambition than that. Inter is a good club but we are not talking Bayern, RM, Barca or City here. It is a club that we should be matching ambition with I would say.

Well then that is a concern. It is never a good idea to bring in mediocre players because they fit in a managers system. Especially when there are legit concerns about how good that manager currently is and how long he will be here. If its fit that he wants then get a guy who fits but is much better than Brozovic.

If players like Tonelli and Barella (or players of their same level) don't fit into Jose's system it might be time to get a new manager.

Who has these legit concerns over how good the manager is?
