For under 10m he can fill a role for us, for anything more I wouldn't see the point at all.

For under 10m he can fill a role for us, for anything more I wouldn't see the point at all.
No source within, but he's allegedly turned us down:
Our view: Haris Seferovic has reportedly rejected Spurs move, he'd have been underwhelming anyway
Tottenham Hotspur are in the market for a new striker, and it seems like they’re linked with a new option every other day. Benfica hitman...
Good.... That article makes him sound toilet.
Hercules' finest moment was when he claimed that Jadon Sancho's £5 million transfer from Shitty to Dortmund was the same scam we (allegedly of course ) ran with Zeki Fryers (see the read-between-the-lines version on wiki below).
When a few of us pointed out to Prophet Herc that Dortmund was a big time football club who would not buy a top young talent just to flog him for a small profit to Spurs, risking legal action from Shitty in the process, he claimed he couldn't talk further because it was too sensitive.
Of course Hercules was correct. Dortmund would be prepared to sell Sancho to Spurs. If we coughed up £100 million.

Standard Liège
Fryers spent the summer training with Tottenham Hotspur ahead of a proposed transfer, but the two clubs were unable to agree on a compensation package (in England, when a player under the age of 23 leaves a club at the end of his contract, his new club must pay a fee to his old club as compensation for having trained him up). Belgian club Standard Liège also expressed interest in Fryers, and as they are not an English club, they did not have to pay Manchester United the same level of compensation.[10][deprecated source] Fryers signed a two-year contract with Liège on 23 August 2012.[11] Fryers played in seven matches for Standard, but with the sacking of Ron Jans in November, he was left out of the squad and ultimately reported to his agent that he was homesick.[12]
Tottenham Hotspur
With Fryers out of favour in Belgium, Tottenham renewed their interest in him in the January 2013 transfer window and reached an agreement with Standard Liège to sign him.[13] The transfer was criticised by the then Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson, who accused Tottenham of "blatant manipulation" of the rules,[12] having attempted to sign Fryers directly from United in the previous transfer window. Upon signing, Fryers was made part of Tottenham's development squad

Who is he?
Edit: Never mind, googled him. 28 year old Swiss international playing for Benfica. Still don't know shit about him.
good point and agree but I still have a problem with this deal on more than 1 front.
Yup.
See your points and agreee. but really not feeling the Skriniar move. We need pace and athleticism all around. He doesn't address this. This feel more opportunistic than planned.
For the bolded part, both, I don't like choosing.
In a similar vein why not both players for 40-45M? I've seen enough of both to be more than willing to put up with their errors for a season or so. And there will be errors but at least they will be new errors that can potentially be coached out of high-ceiling players rather than the same friggin errors of players we already know aren't good enough. But what we would gain is palyer athletic enough to defend 1v1 situation unlke Toby and dier who are forced to lunge now that they aren't quick enough. If we add a proper DM we should have more protection anyway.
My last post on these cunts:

That fat guy, in the middle, that's me. Fuck you A&C, I love it here. Except for fucks like
Ahab
He’s a target man and that’s about it. His career stats are diabolical.
He's the prolific 7 goals in 40 games marksman that we're trying to prise out of Benfica.
Lets hope they keep the box firmly nailed shut.
I like it large part because I think Jose will play him if we bring him in over a player like Dier and I am not sure he would do that if we brought in other players. Not ideal but likely the best option given the manager we have.
But I think the last line does concern me in that I am not sure they are making this move because they see a need to upgrade Dier, which is terrifying that they think he is good enough, but because they see a player that is available for cheap. If Skriniar isn't coming on a "deal" I think they are fine going with Dier which to me shows that this isn't a decision based on them making a smart roster assessment but as you say because they see an opportunity.
I would do that in a heartbeat, but no chance Levy and especially Jose is going to put up with that kind of nonsense.
Better to send out the experienced players like Dier to go out and make those repeated mistakes, the same kind they have their whole career and shown zero indication of ever changing.
Last season he had 9 goals and assisted 5 goals in 2,197 minutes in all competitions, or a g/a every 156 minutes.
The prior season he had 27 goals and 9 assists in
3,592 minutes in all competitions, or a g/a every 100 minutes.
Seems like the kind of player that would be an okay back up to Kane.
Just don’t look at his record outside of Portugal and you’ll be fine lol
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. And this is part of my Toby point. His creaking was already there to be seen if you wanted to see it, yet, new contract as soon as Poch went out the door.
There is no roster assessment just like there is not potential player assessment. You need a right back then DL searches the bargain bin for the biggest named RB he can find with the shortest contract...and don't expect adequate backup. We have 'adequate' backup in 4 position currently if you count Bergwijn, Aurier, Davies, and Moura. In many of those would be questionable.
Still just a wee bit more than slow-assed Skriniar and we'd be set for after Jose. This is why we need a DOF.
Yes, yes, those mistakes are frustrating. You know, the ones that you can totally predict minutes before they occur. *sigh*. I always looked forward to the Dier throughball that he would send to whichever Liverpool forward to have a free run on our goal.

As if there’s a choice: both.
Agreed. So how is this an argument against Diop?
Preach!
Yeah, but that 1 skill is overrated when that's the only attack you have. Plus, his negative far outweigh his positives now. I'd rather some fast monster that can defend but just punts it upfield at this point.
I‘m happy to sell Foyth, he’s weak defensively and his dithering on the ball scares me. He reminds me of Bunjevcevic or Chiriches.
I'd take that swap all day long. Hell I'd swap most of our CB's for him, even with his flaws.

Remember it well, what a dufus.
Seforovic is crap and old so not surprising
