Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

It’s probably not him, but it does seem strange Zaha was taken from squad yesterday because of “injury” and Viera was very short in his interview after regarding him. Add to the fact Gattuso has just said our Gil replacement is 99% done. Zaha plays in Gil’s position and we have always been tracking Zaha, anyone think this has legs?
 
Is Gil being sold or just loan. Seems like a complete waste of time the whole transfer of leak plus cash. Then out on loan. We basically spent £20m with a player down in the squad.
Hopefully Adama he is not the quality required. He would not get into any top 6 side. I’d rather have Neto or podence.

Palace can't afford to lose Zaha for free and could probably buy a replacement if sold quickly.

In my opinion it would be a good purchase for us but I think it's likely he moves on this window and it's more a question of to where.

With 5 subs now available and our competitions and games he would be one of a very good 6.

Possibly. He does have a lot of the characteristics Conte likes, he is a hard worker defensively, aggressive, good at ball carrying, scores goals, strong in the air and hold up play is good. Only thing that kind of stands against him is his decision making and selfishness can be a problem. He is a like a more physical version of Raheem Sterling in some ways, brilliant but frustrating.

I kind of get the feeling though that whatever is happening our signing/signings will be out of the blue.
 
I've only seen him play a handful of times but he looks to me as if his best fit in our system is at ccb.
Well, in that case, Zabarnyi may be an ideal buy.

He can spend the season learning Conte's "idea of football" & tactical demands. And step in whenever Dier is injured or needs a rest.

Conte is clear that new players - even of Bissouma or Richarlison's level of PL experience - need time to adapt to his system. With Dier clearly our first choice CCB, that would potentially provide 19-year-old Zabarnyi time to learn & develop, just as we're seeing with Djed Spence.
 
If its sadly between James and Traore then let's hope Conte makes the right choice and brings us James atleast.

Neither would make me happy though.

James does not need to come to us just to sit on a bench.

Zaha would 100% be pushing for a starting place and that's what we need.

No point just getting players who are going to sit on the bench.

Can't see it being James at all.
