Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If we sign Reguillon for say 25m then thats us up to 43m net spend. This also is not including the need of a striker.

Signing Bale on loan and going to a 3 at the back pretty much means the net spend would stay at 43m and no Cb and St is needed as Davies will hopefully be seen as a Cb option in a 3 and Sess as the cover left wing back.

43m net spend...hmm I would hazard a guess that if all that happens we will sell N'dombele to put us back at zero net.

Hojbjerg, Winks, Sissoko, Lo'Celso, and Gedson for 2 starting Cm positions is OK I guess ( I'm unsure about Lo'Celso in a midfield 2 but with 3 at the back it offers more protection.



---------------------Lloris------------------------
----------Toby-----Sanchez-------Davies-----
Doherty----Holjbjerg----Lo'Celso----Reguillon
-------------Bale-------------------Son------------
------------------------Kane----------------------


Bergwijn, Dele and Lucas as cover for the attacking positions.

Dier and Tanganga cover cb.

Aurier and Sess cover wing backs.

Winks, Gedson, Sissoko cover CM.

Means we can also sell CCV, Foyth and Lamela if we wanted to generate even more cash and have a balanced squad.

Yeah, I'm not hating that as I have always been partial to 3ATB (with a preference for more athletic outside CBs but beggars and choosers). But Jose has never run a 3 consistently. Would be a new leaf turned for the paleolithic one. Would get Dele (and other bumblers) out of the team and everyone else in their best positions. Would have to switch to a 4 to accommodate Bale but he could sub Sonny or Kane.

Nice lineup Tots.
 
Although Reguilon played in a back 4 for Sevilla, he's very attacking and I'm not convinced he could play as an auxiliary CB in our lop-sided, advanced RB, system.

Given Wolves fans who've watched Doherty for most of a decade seem pretty unanimous that he's a good RWB and average to poor RB, maybe Mourinho had a weekend epiphany and decided we have to switch to a 3 CB with WBs system.

Clearly this would suit Doherty, Aurier (if we don't find a buyer), Reguilon and Sessegnon.

Ben Davies would not be a good LWB, so presumably he would become a LCB option in a 3, or we'd sell him.

That said, I can't remember Mourinho in his long career ever regularly playing with 3 CBs and WBs.

Can anyone else?

I'm not convinced at all

We're not a 5 at the back team. Pretty risky to change the whole squad make up towards the end of a window like this.

Also highly skeptical of that back 3... Sanchez is nowhere near good enough at passing or dribbling but at least we'll have wing backs that can do their job properly.

As far as I'm aware, the buy black clause means Real simply have to match any other bid by Reguilon if Spurs are selling him. Is it that unreasonable?

Meanwhile, Romano has just tweeted that Real have basically accepted Reguilon offer. All depends on whether the player, who had wanted to go to United for the past few days, will want to come to Spurs. Feel like Jose's pulling power could be key.
