In this dynamic, not knowing him at all, the telling thing to me is = Emery isn’t after him it seems.
Interesting player but not sure if he is exactly what is needed.

Played two seasons at Bournemouth, scored 15 goals. Moved to Villareal in 2021 and scored 6 goals in their champions league campaign that year alone.

Plays as either a 9 or out on the left. 22 goals in 51 games for Villareal. 25 years old.

As above, why isn’t Emery trying for him? Lope bloke at Wolves etc.

No idea, maybe he has a child in Bournemouth and wants to be close (if that is the reason and he’s good, then I’m all in!).
 
Think the most compelling signing to make is a replacement for Ventrone.

Everyone, bar maybe Kane (who famously employs his own team) has wilted since he sadly left this plane of existence.
 
Yeah and heaven forbid we actually scrutinise Conte a little bit. We aren't worth as we're Tottenham and hes won stuff elsewhere. Its irritating, but thats how he acts.

He does need replacements and the same type of players are letting him down as they let older managers down but he's not performing with what he's got. This season is honestly like Leicester all over again, it's there for the taking if a team wants to get a proper run of wins together.

Any person in the world that thinks you can give Conte as much money as we can afford and he's guaranteed to win us the league or champions league just isn't living in reality in my opinion. Great manager, among a sea of other great managers and other clubs also competing with us who have deeper pockets and bigger legacies. So you can understand Levy being nervous about giving Conte the money to do it when he's seen us almost get there with Poch on a shoe string. He's always going to lean towards that method than the riskier method that could produce the same outcomes.
Agreed and that’s why I advocate getting rid of Conte now. He’s not going to get the 500 million he wants and his depressive and snobby attitude about the club have worn out their welcome. Get rid now, bring in Poch and just go from there.

He is.
 
Juve are a much bigger team that frequently stockpile good players.

At Villareal's level you would think they would not be so keen to lose good players. I wonder why he is not part of the plans.

That's such a basic and simplistic way of looking at things.

There's zero point in us making any signings really is there unless they come from clubs better and bigger than us then?
 
Danjuma is okay but we’d be in a bidding war with Villa and Bournemouth.
That itself says a lot.

Yeah it's the same old .. he's an ok player, I quite like him. He doesn't put the required pressure on Son though and it's another opportunist stop-gap signing. It might work (ala Bentancur & Kulu) or it might be another Lenglet, i.e the cheap option to fill a position who isn't good enough to actually elevate us at all.

These signings aren't it if you want to lift the dreadful mood around the club atm.

It doesn't say much at all really. Especially not in January. We nabbed Bentancur from under Villa's nose last January.

Villa are after Danjuma because of the Emery link and Bournemouth want him because he used to be there's and there is probably some love there between the two.

If we were interested, we'd get him.

I'd pick Villa and I'm a Tottenham fan
