Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

No it isn't.

Feel free to post where I said it.

I said there are a lot of reasons that he wouldn't come here.

And than asked where he would fit in our formation. I was trying to figure out what his best position was because he seems to play the same position as GLC and Alli and was wondering if he would also fit in a deeper lying role.

Again this is why reading what people actually post rather than just making up stuff to fit in your narrative is important.
I don't think Van de Beek makes sense for us

So you don’t think he makes sense for us, but you’re now claiming that you didn’t say we don’t need him?

He doesn’t make sense, but we do need him? Or?

Oh look it’s Igula and his backwards dictionary again.
 
Watkins got 26 goals last season, at a similar age King wasnt hitting double figures at Blackburn in the championship. Not saying Watkins is a sure thing, its a risk with no top level minutes but we dont know how he will turn out. I think i could hazard a guess on King because at his age with 5 years in the prem what you see is what you get. Very average and wont get better. I do agree if we want proven we'll have to find some more money from somewhere.

JM has a say in the transfers and I dont think its a coincidence that our first 3 signings (Hojbjerg, Doherty and Hart) all come with a lot of PL experience - so not surprised that's what he wants out of a striker as well.

Worth recalling that most of the time at Bournemouth he's been playing as a 2nd striker with Callum Wilson as the main goalscorer, so that basis King's goalscoring record of about one goal in 3 games isnt that bad. And Spurs make more chances than Bournemouth.

Think he could play as centre forward in place of Kane, or indeed as one of the AM's in support of the Spurs striker. Given the number of games in a short space of time this season, he might well play say 20 games as centre forward and another 20 in competition with Son, Moura, Bergwijn, Lamela et al.

ATM our plan is probably to see how Parrott does at Millwall this season (where he's been scoring in pre-season) to bring back next season as another back up.

BTW, I quite like Ollie Watkins but he's already 24 so should be scoring lots in Championship at that age, the risk is moving to the PL where with the number of games we have we probably do not want to risk taking on a player who might take time to adjust to the speed of play and better opposition players.

Yes i don't think he makes much sense for us that is a world of difference from you claiming I said we don't need him. There is no backwards dictionary here.

He doesn't make much sense for us because we have a limited budget and he won't come cheap, he doesn't make much sense for us because we have players that fill that role and have needs in other areas and with his cost and the cost/value of GLC and Alli it doesn't make sense to have 2 of Alli, GLC and Van de Beek on the bench which is why I tried to clarify if he could move into a deeper role. it doesn't make sense because he seems set on a move to Barca and would potentially be disappointed in a move to us.

If you actually read my posts on this it was all very clear, you left out the part when I said "I would love to add him but it is an odd fit"

So once again you are shown to be wrong because you rush to fit things into your narrative and fail to read what is actually posted.

You didn’t say “much” though.
You said he doesn’t make sense.

Therefore, by default, you can’t think he’s needed here. That’s how language works, why do I have to keep telling you this.

I didn’t read the rest, because the fact you tried to change the quote I disputed tells me everything I need to know.
 
The state of this forum. People glad for any old shit, as long as it's new shit.

I think at this point anything is better than nothing when it comes to back-up striker.

It seems that the complaint should be that the team has made it so that King is an upgrade on what we have rather than whining about the forum.
