Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Plagued with groin injuries in his final season with us, played through them without being able to train or rehab fully. Got himself right in Spain and played brilliantly in a title winning side. Personally I wouldn't be clamouring for him back, but his poor form for us had mitigating circumstances.
Yea neither am I. It just irks me when people go on about how awful he was for us, when he really wasn’t all that bad, and as you said there were mitigating circumstances.
 

Alessandro Bastoni’s agent reiterates the defender is more than happy to stay at Inter, but the Tottenham Hotspur transfer target ‘is also a professional and has to adjust’ to the market.

There are growing reports that while the centre-back has no intention of leaving San Siro, there is the possibility Inter will bow down to pressure from their former coach Antonio Conte if the offer is too high to resist.

Comments from his agent to Sportitalia this evening do suggest there might be truth to that framing of the transfer story.

“He is certainly a big fan of the team he plays for, so he will happily remain at Inter,” Tullio Tinti told Sportitalia television channel in Italy.

“However, he is also a professional. This is football and he has to adjust. It’s clear he is very happy to play for Inter and feels this jersey like a tattoo on his skin.”

The 23-year-old is expected to start for Italy in tomorrow night’s opening Nations League match against Germany, which will be his 13th senior cap for the Azzurri.

Inter purchased him from Atalanta in 2017 for €31m, although he remained on loan in Bergamo for one season, then had another experience at Parma, finally reaching the Nerazzurri in June 2019.

This season he played 44 competitive matches for the club, scoring one goal and providing three assists.

Bastoni was one of the key figures in the Scudetto victory last season under Conte, who now wants a reunion at Tottenham Hotspur.

I think that tells us everything we need to know. This is a £50-60m signing and I don't want that kind of money to go on a player who doesn't want to join us. I want a player with Romero's passion and commitment and we're not going to get that from a player who is saying "I want to stay with Inter but I'll accept the decision if Inter want to sell me to Spurs".
 
Since when did our fans turn into a bunch of snowflakes, he literally just explained his situation at Tottenham :confused:
clearly the implication is that Conte was wrong to deny him more minutes? That he's been hard done by, and his national team coach has more confidence in him than the Spurs coach?

He's right in this instance but he's had more than his fair share of chances. He should realise that speak more thoughtfully.
 
He's getting understandably frustrated, he really didn't get a chance from Conte.
Sure, but he should be asking himself why. I don't there's another Spurs player who can claim that Conte hasn't recognised their talent and given them a fair chance.

I agree that he should get more minutes, but clearly Conte isn't just biased for the sake of it. He's either pissed him off, or not following the tactical plan well enough.
 


Don't like his attitude tbh. Shouldn't be turnign it into a public spat.

He's had so many chances to establish himself under Mourinho and he constantly fucked it up. He's finally finding form and now running his mouth.

I'm not a fan of his attitude either. Lets also not forget his instagram under mourinho when he didn't post anything Spurs related until the day the manager was sacked. And that message on his snapchat a few months ago as well. He's a good player and has the potential to be even better, but he is not helping himself at all with these things

Yeah, there's been little drips and drabs here and there that's been making me suspicious. When I saw his celebration after his first goal, I thought he'd a Son type humble and sincere player.

I just remebered this:

Doesn't look good when compared to players like Sanchez, Reguilon, Doherty and others who also had shit to deal with, but never spoke like this.

Yes, we've seen it with Lukaku, where he came to London but his heart was still in Milan. Now we're hearing this direct from the agent there can't be any doubt, he'd rather stay at Inter. So move on.

What is this outrage towards Bergwijn now? He's understandably frustrated because he's been under valued by several coaches at this point. The only one who has been treated worse than him for no reason is Rodon, although Conte said that he didn't play Rodon because of bruised ribs. Bergwijn is 100% in the right here, not because he's good enough to make the 1st team, but because whenever we needed to change something, either he didn't play, or Lucas was subbed on instead of him. Apart from the Brighton chance, whenever he was subbed on he delivered.

But don’t worry, as soon as Perisic misses a clear cut chance, we can all turn on him and call him a has-been, passed his prime and too old!
