Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Guy's it's cool Hitchens LOVES the chaotic end of the transfer window... I mean he said so himself. He loves chaos. He's really up for it.

He's gonna get us those last minute deals that allow us to shift our deadwood and get that world class forward in.
I only saw that episode yesterday. What an absolutely joker he came across as. Fuck me. Just completely and utterly inept. When he was talking about Bergwijn. “He’s exactly the player we need”. Was he having a laugh? Another winger in that mould was literally the LAST position we needed ffs.
It really is no wonder we’re in the mess we’re in squad wise when that knobhead is in charge of our recruitment.

Completely agree mate. No issue with Bergwijn who I hope will eventually be an excellent player, but the last thing we needed was another fucking winger. If they felt we needed to get Bergwijn because it was to good a deal to turn down, then that’s great, but that should not of impacted our striker purchase. They should of bought in Bergwijn, plus a striker we desperately needed and that would of been a successful window. Instead our prick of a chairman and Hitchen etc put square pegs In round holes all the time by thinking “ well Bergwijn can play up top” , when clearly he’s not a striker and never will be. Can’t wait for these cunts to fuck off out of Spurs for good, useless bastards
 
Genuine question...

Do you think we ever receive bids for players such as Lamela, Dier, Winks, Dele etc? I feel one of the reasons why we can't rebuild the squad is it seems so difficult to shift some of our first teamers. Surely someone must be interested?

Man city for winks, and er that's about it .
Dele use to have rumours abound ,about him going elsewhere.Can't recall the last time i heard one.
 
Its all well and good blaming Levy and or Jose, its easy but what about the players?

these elite superstars who earn fortunes need to pull their fucking fingers out and start playing to the level expected.

they were behaving like this before Jose turned up and theyre still doing it now.

watching the amazon doc and we can all see Jose screaming at them at half time of various games to pull their fingers out, to move the ball quicker, to be cunts, to fight and show passion.

we defo need to start games with Gio, hopefully back soon, Ndom and Bergwijn. They all have points to prove having more or less just arrived.
I don't disagree (and the lack of running/energy is obvious) but it also feels like there just isn't the quality in the squad that we, including the hierarchy of the club, seems to think there is.

It's one of the most basic things in football but we've become a creativity vacuum: the headless chicken meme hasn't been more apt than on Sunday. The problem is probably compounded as I'd bet a bit of brilliance on the pitch would also kick them up the arse to run harder.

We might get enquires. I suspect a lot of clubs can’t be arsed to deal with Levy.

Winks and Dele are prime examples of players we should have sold when their stock was high. Hindsight of course, is a wonderful thing.
 
For argument's sake let's say we do have 50 mill to splurge on Belotti, surely the club would first offer that for someone like Ings and Southampton would most likely take it
Danny Ings? If I were scouting a player the first thing I’d say about Ings is he had one season where he scored a lot of goals, last season, in a team where he basically played every single game....not where I’d be spending my 50m....

However, it could be one of those Beardsley Liniker, Sutton Shearer, Yorke Cole, Henry Bergkamp, situations...which I’d be good with......Effectly ending Alli’s career, and I’m good with that too....
 
If you're reading this Hitch, offer Dele to Atletico in exchange for Renan Lodi. Always though the old Dele would fit into a Simeone team, we'd need only to hope that they haven't watched him play over the past two years.

Fully agreed

It was like watching a satirical Ricky Gervais impression. As if someone was doing their best to mock the way we try to buy players.

Good thing we have Mendes to buy players for us now or I'd be worried

I agree with this. I think for Dele to rebuild his career he should move abroad and step out of his comfort zone. This takes 'BiG BaLLz' as Jose says.
