Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

From what I've seen McKennie does almost everything PEH does but adds those late runs into the box and actually finishes chances. He might be less athletic, but under Conte he can develop that side of his game too.

SMS would be alongside someone like Skipp who can let him do what he wants as more of an AM. He's got Eriksen G+A stats but has more physical presence, and can dribble better too.
Mckennie 44 appearances for Juve 5 goals not exactly a finisher in my eyes
 
Paratici is stockpiling goalkeepers :cool:
Even though I am sure you know all it already.... he plays for St. Patrick's Athletic.



We certainly are - Keeley's direct opposition would be French u19 Timothee Lo'Tutala who looks very good (pro contract under offer atm I think) and a couple of younger ones - plus of course Austin and Whiteman who are a couple of years older and currently our 3rd GK options for first team.

One of our strongest positions in youth for depth and quality - but I guess always room for more competition !

Okay, be honest - which Spurs fan found a magic lamp last week?
 
-I'm cool with Spence as 2nd choice RWB. Really want Singo for 1st choice though.
-SMS is just a lot of money that we might not really need to spend.
-Richarlison or Jesus seem like better options than Terrier.
Singo isn’t proven either though. He was also below Aurier in the pecking order for Ivory Coast at AFCON, so perhaps has room for improvement.
Also no Spence leaves us struggling in terms of HG.
I see your point about SMS being expensive, but so is Richarlison.
SMS 11 goals 11 assists in Serie A is very impressive, better stats than Rich or Jesus despite playing in midfield.

I don’t want him. He had every opportunity to join the Conte revolution in January but he chose otherwise.

Sorry Adama, you don’t get to marry the bridesmaid just because the bride has decided not to show up.
This is not a buying pitch for Traore.
In the last summer window Spurs failed to meet the demands of Wolves for them to sell him to Spurs. Adama was then ready to join Spurs then.
But, in the meantime, Barca got their finances kinda together and appointed Xavi as head-coach to start their own "revolution". Barca is his boyhood club (he was there from age of 8 to 19), and he started to negotiate with Barca for a transfer already in December.
Can't blame him for his choice really.

Singo is 'proven' as a season long starter in Serie A, and one with clearly good attacking abilities and decent numbers for a young, highly promising RWB. I'd say he's far more proven than Spence at this stage.

But I also like Spence a lot. In a perfect world for me, we'd sign both. Doherty can be the flex 5th WB for me.

IN: Perisic, Singo, Spence
OUT: Reguilon, Emerson
 
For those uncertain as to the wisdom of bringing Eriksen back, I've found the clinching argument :

When we sold Bale, we replaced him with Lamela, and when we sold Lamela we brought back Bale (admittedly on loan)

So when we sold Eriksen, we replaced him with Lo Celso, and when we decide to sell Lo Celso we bring back ....... (I'm sure you agree the logic !)

Simples !

(I'll get my coat !)

Have we been linked with Singo? I haven’t seen any
