Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Just want to drop this question.

In my eyes we are about three players away from being able to fight for the top. I think we need a centre back a RB and another striker.

What attacking player do we think would be best? Personally I would love to see Martinez come in from Inter.

Thoughts?
him and osimhen would be amazing choices

rich not much so as if kane went would he be able to step up and be first choice
 
Is she?

How are you measuring that.....?

- Chavs have a notorious habit of buying players in spite of their manager.... Lukau being the crowning fuck up in a string of examples.
- They have made many awful decisions in terms of outgoing players.... Look no further than Tamori, Ghaye, Livramento, Lamptey (they now need at least 2CBs and a RB!).
- They've had the luxury of running at a loss every year thanks to Roman's dirty Rubels.
- They've been punished on multiple occasions with regard to their youth recruitment.

If you're talking the art of the negotiating table.... We're simply not party in order to gauge that.
if she was at the likes of Burnley pulling off some incredible signings I would understand the respect somep people are showning her way, but she worked for one of the richest clubs on the planet, bank rolled by sportswashing, often paying players and clubs in excess of their true value.

Where in the fuck is the skill in that?

I can easily negotiate £200 for a car worth £100
 
I might be clutching at straws simply because I think bringing Eriksen back would be a good move for us, but I can't really read too much into the info that's been coming out today.

From Gold, as much as he is a mouthpiece for the club, I just don't think he gets comprehensive info from the club about our transfer activities, not until stuff's all common knowledge anyway, like the Bissouma stuff.

The Shitey Kays, they've just seen the AG stuff and now panicked to cover their backs, no point taking anything they've said as anything more than uneducated guesses.

I reckon we've held informal discussions, he knows what we're willing to offer should he decide to come back, and now it's just a waiting game for his decision.
 
It was Hercules.

He doesnt have a twatter account👍👍 its just some twat taking the piss out of other twats who believe it👍👍
 
Is Marotta actually on board with what Suning need to do not to lose the club? Shouldn't be going near Dybala and Lukaku on a collective half a million a week?

Everyone at Inter can read the news which has consistently been, since the debt was refinanced at higher interest rates back in January, that wage cuts needed to be made and a transfer profit made to start to pay down debt.

I can only assume the Lukaku and Dybala signings are seen as having less cost than signing a top player on top wages ......

but seems extraordinary to me without cuts elsewhere being necessary.
 
Barella & Brozovic contributed to 18 goals between them though, that's more than we are likely to get from Bentancur/Bissouma (our expected partnership). Barella especially has a much more progressive passing range and will make those attacking runs from deep.

And he also had Eriksen in a deeper playmaker role at Inter towards the end. I'm not saying we need some lightweight #10 type, but I do think we're still lacking a player who really wants to be involved in an attacking sense.
Inter mostly employed a 3-5-2 formation last season (Çalhanoğlu, Barella and Brozovic in CM), which gives much more freedom for their CM's to go forward than for players in a 2-CM formation.
Harry Kane, who at times was playing as an advanced CAM (with less defensive duties than a CAM in a 3-CM-formation) had 27 goals and 10 assists all of last season, while Brozovic had 3 goals & 4 assists and Barella had 4 goals & 17 assists (in all competitions).
And the player that most Spurs fans want to be dropped in favor of a CAM, namely Kulusevski, scored
5 goals and had 8 assists in half a season at Spurs (in 18 EPL games) and at Inter 2 goals 3 assists = altogether 7 goals and 11 assists
