When KWP came to St Mary’s he looked like he had neat skills but was a bit too lightweight to make it as a top premier league player. Our manager has a reputation for improving the conditioning of players. James Ward Prowse ran the most miles of any player in the league and Danny Ings scored more goals than any other player in Europes top flights excluding pens (for a team that spent 1/2 the season in the bottom 3) being prime examples of his work. After the lockdown KWP came back looking physically stronger and was not getting shoved off the ball. He now looks quality. Great skill and clever passing. We’re really hoping he joins Saints. Jose has a track record of letting quality slip through his fingers doesn’t he? Lukaku, Saleh and De Bruyne being 3 that come to mind. Not saying KWP is in their class but if he was your 3rd or 4th choice RB then Wow! You’re going to be ‘tearing up trees‘ next season.
It’s not just Jose that has dismissed him, poch did as well, I’m not saying he won’t turn out to be a quality signing for you. But if 2 he hasn’t impressed 2 different managers in a position we are weak in then what more can you do
 
Who cares about budgets and net spend you big willy woofter

And to think this used to be a family forum!
 
Add Coutinho to that list and it's a 8/10. Add another centre mid and its 10/10.
Sorry, maybe I'm in a minority here but I just don't see us needing Coutinho. He always strikes me as one of those players who either decides to turn up or not, very much in the Eriksen mould. Brilliant when on form but if he throws a moody then the whole balance of the side does a wobbly and you're looking on the subs bench to try and save the day.
He's a luxury we can ill afford at the moment.
 
IN

Hojbjerg
Celik
Wilson

OUT
Aurier
KWP
Foyth
CCV
Amos


Thats a 7/10 window for me, as we improve on areas that need drastic improvement and get rid of players who need to go.

If Aurier goes we need two RBs unless Mou is planning on having Tanganga as the #2 RB, #4 CB - which may be the case.
 
I doubt we are buying/interested in Celik. We have been linked with about 5 players from Lille in the last year. It lazy journalism, that's all

Celik, Gabriel, Soumare, Ikone, Osimhen, probably a couple of others too.

Jose's mate Campos is DoF there, Sacramentao was a coach there etc. It's too easy to make the connection

I'd say Castagne and Aarons are much more likely
 

For Levy and Tottenham Hotspur a return of paying spectators cannot come soon enough.

The club has more riding on the return of fans to Premier League soccer than any other team in the league.

Its new £850 million ($1.08 billion) Tottenham Hotspur Stadium had barely been used for a full season’s worth of fixtures when the pandemic hit.

Not only has it taken out some sizeable loans to pay for the new arena it was also banking on an array of live events to bolster future revenue.

The scale of the financial impact from the sudden suspension of these activities was demonstrated in its decision to use a Bank of England finance facility to help cover estimated future revenue loss of £200 million ($256 million).

 
I'd absolutely love Thiago here but the fucking dinosaur would destroy him, he wouldn't know what to do with a talent like him, see Ndombele.

Dinosaur prefers battle hardened 30 year old clogger in midfield that is happy to sit deep and defend all game.
This post is incredibly grounded in fantasy lol.

I forgot how amazing and super fit and full of stamina the fat duck was under Poch! Or is he a dinosaur too?

Your agenda on Mourinho is pathetic.

The guy has managed some of the best players in the world, and won everything there is to win.

Pochettino had all these players, and better but won fuck all with them. We're blaming Jose for Ndombele, yet he was poor under Poch as well. Lo Celso has become incredible under Mourinho.

Stop using your own hate against someone (which is weird as you've never met the guy) and actually get behind him.
 
I'm sniffing at it. We improved massively when we upgraded Defoe and his ilk.

And no we wouldn't. Son scores as many goals as Defoe and for all his bumbling, at least he doesn't completely turn to dust outside the box like Defoe does.
I think if we had Defoe while Kane was injured we’d have been much more effective. I don’t think Defoe was a world beater but he was a consistent premier league goal scorer
 
Dumfries would be a good one.

Apparently AC Milan have been linked to him as well.

We need to hurry up and agree to a fee for Aurier so they don't scoop him up.
