Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I agree it's a big upgrade on what we were last season, but in a number of key positions will remain the same and get decent but not transformative improvements, the way that Romero, Kulu were and we expect Perisic and Bissouma to be. Therefore, we're not really a real threat to the top 2.

For that, Spence and the others will need to significantly outperform expectations. Which isn't really that different from what you said.


So you're basically saying other than the 4 signings above we've made since Conte arrived the rest of the squad isn't good enough???
 
2/10 window so far. We all know we’ve needed a CAM in our 3-4-3 because CAMs carry lock picks which are super effective against relegation sides.

If we sign a CAM and CB, then we need a backup pure target man #9 (richarlison has only played on the wing in preseason) and also a backup manager in case Conte is angry. If we get these vital signings, we will have covered all our areas of need and it will be a perfect 3/10 window.

These figures are hilariously specific but are about right from my reading of multiple reports.


Here's my estimates for the year:

Kulusevski (L)8Markanday0.5
Bentancur16Dele10
Perisic0Edwards (Sell on)5.5
Forster0Gollini (L)0
Bissouma25Omole0
Richarlison50CCV6
Ashcroft0Bergwijn26.5
Keeley0Clarke2
Lenglet (L)4.5
Spence 12.5
BOUGHT116SOLD50.5
NET65.5
 
Judging by Conte's comments this morning, sounds like Spence won't be starter, one of Royal and Docherty must be first choice still
 
respect the opinions of others.

He can’t because his is the only opinion that is right. Just have a laugh at it.

If your opinion is different from some on here you are a cunt. Doesn’t matter if it’s right or wrong. Everybody is the king from behind a keyboard.

cretin can be harsh but I will give him one thing, his harshness has a humour. Others not so much.

Tolerance on here is a laugh for the most part. Don’t take yourself too seriously and ignore those, and there are quite a few,that disagree just to disagree……especially those that simply hurl insults. Say what you mean and mean what you say, at the end of the day if you are wrong so what. It’s just an opinion.
 
Here's who I think we could sell and potential fees:

ROYAL15
SANCHEZ15
REGUILON15
GLC18
NDOMBELE10
RODON12
WHITEMAN0
WINKS15
Total100

Possibly Gil neds to be added to the list?
 
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.
GLC was decent for jose for a couple months, you're massively overhyping this period. He put himself about a bit, but wasn't very effective didnt even score a league goal for us that entire season and made just 2 assists.

Literally every season Maddison has been in the prem he's performed better than those 2 months Lo celso was slightly above average for us.

.....And #AnnounceSalah!!! :angryscouser:
 
What a ridiculous question. It's not exactly onerous to tap on a cross if you disagree. You have a lot to disagree with.

No one is under obligation to explain why they disagree with you. Do you complain about a lack of clarification when someone hits a tick against one of your posts?
That makes no sense. If you agree you would just be saying the same damn thing again if you elaborate. If you disagree then say fucking why. Unless the statement you agree is a yes or no answer that is obvious.

If you disagree with an argument about something more elaborate then merely disagreeing shows you are doing just for fun, too lazy to explain your side or are just being well you know.

Isn’t the idea of this place to discuss and debate? X doesn’t do that now does it?

Fuck me, some of you take this place deathly serious.

Grown men taking forum ratings deeply personal is so fucking tragic.

...And what about 'likes'? ....Are we 'duty' bound to explain those too?

Sometimes a post (or poster) does not dignify and explanation.


.....And for this reason; I have disagreed with your post. :adethumbup:
 
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.

Not sure I fully agree with that - as one never considers past transfers with adds on which have crystallised and result in money being paid. And if Spurs are successful we expect most add ons to be triggered.

Maybe quote the 'net spend' (which is actually a net financial commitment) as a range of guaranteed to maximum.

So in that scenario Spence is £12.5m - £20m

That way we see the minimum and maximum financial commitment
