Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Maybe I’m exaggerating slightly, but I just don’t rate him that much and I feel like people have forgotten how good GLC was for a period under Jose. Injuries are his downfall but there’s a player there.

good for 6 weeks under Jose, poor all the rest of his 2 and a half year stint at Spurs. The 6 weeks contribute a lost to his completing 90 minutes in a PL match just 7 times in 2 and a half years
 
I’m sorry but I just can’t buy this.

You can’t honestly believe there wasn’t a better right back than Emerson or Doherty on the market this summer that we could easily have afforded?

And I know Gold Romano etc keep peddling the usual narrative the club always put out to the media that “the manager green lights all signing” but there’s a difference between green lighting a signing and actually wanting the player or being disappointed that we didn’t go for a better player.

Spence is a cheap punt style signing that I honestly had hoped we would not see this summer with Conte as manager, especially in a position we were so awful in last season.
No surprise I’ve 8 disagrees to this without one person actually backing that up with a dignified response.

The usual crew out on patrol it seems looking for any posts with a semblance of negativity or genuine concern about this transfer window, and just slapping a disagree down if they do find one.

Maybe some posts aren't worth the time, you should probably just take the disagrees and sit down :D
 
Lots of mediocre player have a robust carreer under Tite also. Play for Brazilian team is easy with lots of good players around you and facing teams like Venezuela and Bolívia. I'm not saying Paquetá is shite, but for me he didn't prove anything, France is a shite league and the teams he face with Brazil are mostly shite too.

again playing in a less competitive league doesnt = an average to poor player just because we've recently been burnt bad.
As many have already stated we got Hugo from Lyon, Man city signed Silva from Monaco, Leicester took a chance on Kante etc
in contrast we signed Lo Celso from the much more superior spa La Liga, and his end product has been worse than Tangy's with a similar amount of games played!

it's all a risk outside of the prem proven bunch and even then you get a Darren Bent or 2

Your take has been addressed multiple times within the same few pages as your OG post.... In some cases by people who X'd you.

The fact is the RB market is shit thus summer.

If people have decided not to personally indulge you directly; perhaps that's due to your 'nowhere to be seen > moan > disappear again' routine?
 
Don’t think we’re getting £10m upfront for Clarke. That will be if lots of clauses are met.
Yeah, from what I could gather we're getting virtually nothing up-front.
Why have you quoted the add ons for the buys?

Wasn't Bissouma £25m, Rich £52m, Spence £12.5m?

doesn't list Romero or Carter-Vickers but does list every player including add-ons that may or may not be triggered
 
My prediction. Is that barring horrendous injuries, Spence won’t see 10 pl appearances this year. And that’s if he’s lucky. Even Moura will be played at RWB ahead of him.

He’s going to be the new Rodon for this season at least.

Most of that is inacurate.

Spence was widely reported as 12.5m + add ons.
Bissouma 25m + add ons.
Berg 28m.
Clarke - undisclosed with add ons.
Rich had a stack of add ons that meant it was closer to 50m up front.
CCV had a 6m purchase clause.

Reeks of sky trying to sex things up imo.

Sky are rubbish, if you're trying to work out the net spend (which is a nonsense anyway as transfers don't work like that) then you ought to only really quote the money which is a guaranteed spend.

It's like saying Everton paid £40m for Dele for example.

GLC has never been good for us, he's had a few okay games for us. Other than that he's either been, anonymous, rubbish or injured.

Go on YT or anywhere and find us a clip of him doing something good for us ......
