To me it looks as if Zaniolo has gone to Turkey to get out of Roma and perhaps more specifically to say, Mourinho, at any cost. There is a E35m release clause in his contract which might make it easier in the summer for us, or other clubs to get him.

With the second point, I'm of the assumption Kane doesnt leave, and Sess, Tanganga, Winks hang around for another season. That or we take a hit on registering a full 25 man squad.

But yes, we need HG badly. One of which I believe will be solved by bringing in Raya or Pickford - We'll never get Oblak

I personally do not get why we are not going for HG players that might not be best fit, but more or less acceptable. For example - Tarkowski moved on free in summer.
Are we saying that Lenglet is better or more solid option compared to Tarkowski? I mean I get the theory- Lenglet is much better at ball on his feet. But he is shit in defending.
We could have gone for Madisson instead of Danjuma - more expensive surely, but also proven quality.

Just that Paratici is in charge of recruitment and all I see is us being linked with foreign players. But next to no HG players .

If Sess remains and we bring in Udogie, it is fucking pointless. All it does is lose the value.

Ofc there is some alternative maneuvering room to maybe flog say Sess and bring in White as squad player to midifeld. But it hinders his progress.... basically all I see are poor choices.

And so like a dog to its vomit....Tarkowski. This player is a poor man's Eric Dier he will never ever ever play for Spurs. We can't get shot of Rodon and folk want Tarkowski it's like lancing a boil and finding a pimple.🤨

Come on, I am not saying that he would be some kind of superstar.

His comparison is not Dier. His comparison is Tanganga. We could get much more use out of Tarkowski than from Tanganga, that is obvious. He'd be also more useful in the end than Lenglet.

I'm sorry Est but James Tarkowski is a personal bug bear of mine. Your comparison with Tanganga is erroneous Japhet is club trained and 23 years old! Tarkowski is 30!!!!!! Years old!!!! A journey man donkey a respawned Ryan Nelson!!! We have to do better we are the NINTH richest club on planet earth. The choices is not between on loan Lenglet club trained Tanganga. Stop spouting Levy sound bites! He's brainwashed the entire fan base!

We need three top class centerbacks and we need to fucking well go and get them. Then we can let the coach do what he came here to do win trophies 😡🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬:levyeyes:

If a player is from the EU and under 21 he doesnt have to be registered
Udogie will not need to be registered
We will also have Spence back from loan id imagine he will be featuring next season takes HG up by 1 straight away

As for the idea some of you are floating about signing Pickford to improve our HG roster then just have a think what your actually saying is replace Lloris with the English option in goal

No thanks to Pickford

Happy to get 2 GK's
Raya , Oblak or Sanchez
Hincapie
Modric

This isn't a vote for Tarkowski but people had the same 'old & beneath us' attitude towards Johnny Evans, yet he's shown he would have been a cracking signing.... Ditto when Milner joined the Dippers all those years ago.
 
The prices for footballers nowadays are fucking ridiculous. While a good player, he isn't even an established international. I'm not sure he's much better than Dier.


Yeah Sami Mockbel is really pushing our interest in him.

I like him, think his contract is the main reason for the cost.

Suspect we want him and Bastoni/Hincaipe
