Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Anyone else think the Doherty transfer may be especially good news for Cirkin? It's almost like there is a plan in place.

I know Hakimi’s gone now, but he was up for grabs. I'm not sure I buy that chose Inter over ManC and Bayern stuff.

Not all of them need replacing, and there is plenty of value out there. Winks 40m for Sangare 20m for example - we've upgraded and made 20m. Lamela and Bergwijn would fetch us what 40m ? We could buy Stengs or Eze + 20m. Dier, Foyth, Sissoko what 45-50m ? We could get Kessie for that and if we bought Eze buy someone like Todibo for 20m or less. Liverpool picked Tsimakis for 10m. There's value out there. Wijndal the LB at Alkmaar is valued at about 9m Eur.

I'm not bitching about us having limited funds, just what we are spending those limited funds on. Paying 16m for a 28yo Doherty is money down the toilet and barely an upgrade on Aurier IMO, 40m on Hakimi would be worth about 60-70m in two/three years time and an infinitely better player during that time.

Money being tight surely means we need to be even smarter with it, no?
Sell Bergwijn to buy Stengs? Bergwijn scored the same amount and got more assists than Stengs in the Eredivisie.........and Bergwijn was only there 1/2 the season!
 
He won't ever be the successor to Lloris, but in my eyes he doesn't have to be. He's good enough to be our 2nd/3rd choice and I'm ok with that. In addition, I think it won't be easy to find a better replacement for him, given the limited amount of money we would get for him.

Our priorities are elsewhere.

You'd imagine the club would allow him to move if he wanted to?
 


Thoughts? Would you let him go if right amount came in?

If we can get £6-7m for him then yeh, sell him. Frees up a foreign spot and gives us funds to spend elsewhere.

However, I think Mourinho will be against it merely because he's spoken so highly about having 3 top keepers who can all fill in whenever. Not sure he'll trust Whiteman or Austin as a 3rd choice. He might go and sign another English keeper to fit in on a free transfer.

It's not unlikely Hugo will have a period where he doesn't play. If you have a choice over Hart or Gazza which would you pick? My gut says Gazza. We certainly need three decent keepers on the books, i'm happy for a vintage back-up and a young prospect as third choice. Hart in his peak wasn't terrible, his confidence and concentration seems shot though. It's a tricky one

Definitely Gazza 2nd choice, Hart 3rd. Hart has been really bad for a long time now.

And I forgot to chuck in Alli, who must be worth 40-50m to someone, HG etc
 
I don't like the idea of selling Gazzaniga, I feel 3 keepers will be important with so many games. If Lloris isn't starting a cup game then I'd rather he was at home resting than on the bench.
As for Suarez, I detest the man for many reasons but I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be happy if we signed him. I know he isn't in his prime but he still scored 21 goals last season, and he's another winner. If it's a choice between Suarez and Callum Wilson then it's a no brainer for me.
So far I am happy with Højbjerg, Hart and Doherty. Let's get on a another striker and sort out the Ndombele situation.

I still think Dele has something to offer.

Has been in bad form but still our 3rd highest prem goal scorer last season only 3 less than sonny and didn't play as much football.

I think he had his biggest injury to date think a hamstring tear(could be wrong).

A refocused and fresh dele will add to this team
