Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Interesting comparisons regarding the midfielders. PEH and Benta are capable of being in a 2 man midfield. I'm not sure Thiago would be but obviously he is a quality player.

A teams system would change the dynamics of a what's needed from a player. Bissouma fits perfectly and Skipp is a good option.

No wonder. All Paratice deals have pretty much been wrapped up swiftly. That bald cunt gets involved with 1 deal and it takes all summer. Just a reminder at what a frustrating bastard Daniel Levy is and a thank Christ Paratice spearheads most of the transfers now. Wouldn’t let Daniel Levy go anywhere near a transfer if i had my way. If you want him, wrap it up you cueball headed cunt!!!

Hmmm… i still think you’re viewing a midfield as composed of individuals whose quality we should compare.

Instead, what I’m saying, is that the players are a tool to achieve certain footballing aims within a broader philosophy. The right players are the right-shaped tools for the job. Sure, underlying qualities might make some players more useful tools but I think we have the right tools in our midfield for the job it needs to perform.

Our players will be as contextually effective as Liverpool’s are.

I’m not so sure. More a system thing than a player thing but I do see our midfield being overrun frequently. It’s just a perk of playing a two. Makes me prefer a three.
But then I don’t want to lose beta upfront.
It’s confusing.
Can we field 12?

Unpopular opinion but true.

For the excellent player that he was for us for most of his Spurs career and for what he’s been through, I can understand why people want him back, but those people need to take their rose-tinted glasses off and remember how absolutely fucking diabolical Eriksen was for us for the two seasons before he left.

Practically every corner would fail to beat the first defender and he was nowhere near the influential player that he was for the bulk of his Spurs career. He then downed tools, refused to sign an extension and left on the cheap a few months before his contract expired.

He did well for Brentford this season, I think he should stay there. United would be a bad move for him as expectations would be sky high and the pressure would be huge. Big fish in a small pond. Surrounded by Danes. Loved by everyone. If they’re offering him respectable money then he should take it.

This will likely be downvoted to oblivion by his fans but it doesn’t change the facts.

I literally only want him back so Man United don't get him.

Don't think that's his issue. He did an amazing job (combined with Skipp) to absolutely batter Traore early in the season under Nuno. Better than we did under Mourinho with the roational fouling. He has enough skill to dribble past people that's not the issue.

His big issues are that he has poor end product, too slow to release a cross/through ball or take a shot. He also lacks positional discipline, running like a headless chicken the entire time he's on the pitch.

Sounds a bit like Lucas....

I think Bissouma makes a real difference to that midfield. Also better wingbacks will make a huge difference to the control and penetration we have. That will free up space in the middle as teams need to defend wider.

Teams sitting back are a pain for everyone. I have a feeling that’s why we may want a big target man.
