Actually, hasn't he been here long enough? Isn't it three years to get the HG badge? And he's done two at City and one at Southampton. I'm no expert so I'll happily be corrected

He'll be homegrown once he's turned 21 for the 25/26 season, and until then doesn't have to be registered in the league squad. Mad, he won't turn 20 until January '24.
Like Postecoglou, couldn't have done any more in the league he's in.
Everything to like and Cogs clearly knows what he's got in that player.
Celtic bought him for about 1.25m so the release clause is probably 10-15m?
If we can get to the front of the queue, it's another low hanging fruit that makes too much sense.
Raya
Lavia
Scott
Hatate
3 of them HG.
Still got money to get a top-class CB and free to explore the market for players from anywhere.
I like the look of Hatate. Was excellent vs Real Madrid in CL and in one of the Rangers games I watched. Thought he was kinda poor at the weekend vs Inverness.. talented player though
Even if they used it, he'd still have to agree to go there.
Why would he do that just to sit on the bench behind Rodri? Pep wouldn't play him.
Phillips is still there too and nobody looking to buy him.
I wouldnt complain if spurs went in for Henderson on loan at forest in goal. Im sure he would join us over forest.
It's actually true but people are so far gone on Maguire it's just easier to stick with the narrative that he's a shit player.
I still don't get why people are so obsessed with bringing in Alex Scott. Looks a decent prospect but we have Devine who looks equally as exiting (and younger) and sarr has looked impressive whenever he has been given a chance as well.
How about we give them a chance before posting ridiculous things about how Alex scott should be signed above Maddison ffs.

3 more cms in? what?
Lavia is a 6, Hatate and Scott both 8's.
Sell Hojberg. Bentancur is out until November. Might be tempted to try Sarr in the inverted FB role like woolwich do with the rapist.
I don't think it's ridiculous mate. I think both should be an option because this is where we are at. Young talented home and overseas players given an early chance to impress. We need to be come Dortmund under Ange. Some will fail Scott might be one but as you see with the lad at Sunderland they will be recyclable unlike our old dross
Only seen a few England Youth games, so limited knowledge.
However, what I saw was a robust young player, tenacious, good technique.
What struck me was I saw more a goal/assist making 6/8 rather than an 8/10 I was expecting.
So, Scott to me is likely a Hojbjerg/Skipp challenger. Which is better if we can add more goals lower down the team, plus HG, Spurs fan.
I'm of the opinion that we should definitely activate the buy back on Cirkin but Alex Scott isn't exactly vital. I have a strong feeling Devine will be a really good player so would rather we stuck with him and focu on more pressing issues.
You'd lean on Devine in the first team this season even though he hasn't played a minute of senior football in the prem or championship?
Devine looks a serious talent but will almost certainly be off on loan this season.
Scott just won young player of the season in the championship and is clearly ready to step up to prem level.
He's a Spurs fan and if his next moves works half as well as his talent level is, he's instantly outside Levy's price range. It's a now or never summer for Scott as a Spurs player IMO.
As for Maddison, very good player but will cost 40-50m and doesn't really work that hard off the ball. Does that fit what the squad and manager needs?
Cirkin is £6m buy back
Don't think Clarke has buy back but does have a sell-on clause, was a low fee with performance clauses that could take it up to £10m (don't know what the clauses are but probably things like sunderland promotion, appearances etc)

The copium has become so bad that people are convincing themselves that a Dier+Maguire combo is a suitable defensive duo.
