Need furniture etc.
Levy just doesn't see it that way. He sees Kane and Conte as 2 world-class players and that'll do.

Macch you put disagree on the above:
1. you don't agree the team is poor today? Remind you 3 managers Conte, Stellini and Mason failed to get a tune from them.
2. Do you think it's good plan to sign young players send them on loan and little chance making starting XI?
3. Do you think we need less than 5 players including goalie?
Or
4. you must be happy for another diabolical season?
Probably none and if it’s a choice between pool or us then Liverpool win. Every player we get mentioned for will supposedly cost £40 million plus. They’ve just bought a brilliant World Cup winner for less. We signed Richarlison for £60 million and he struggles to stand up
We’re also getting quoted £40 million for the fucking Brentford keeper. If that happens then shut the doors.
Notice I used the word "evolve" rather than expecting wholesale change.
However way you wanna slice it; he faces a new and sterner challenge than he's ever faced before entering what's considered the best/toughest league in the world. I'd assume evolution is inevitable if he is to succeed.
See..... Howe/Bmuff, Bielsa/Leeds
That in itself would seemingly, forcibly bring out a significant tactical/philosophical evolution (if not out outright change.... A pressing 4231 is far off what the armchair tactics mob have been describing
With that in mind though (and something I'm finding more and more curious)...... We already have an abundance of #8s and yet I'm starting to get the impression that despite many people talking about Ange's 8 / 6 / 8 MF system; in practical terms they're talking more so about a 10 / 6 / 10 in terms of skill-set it demands.... And as I've already intimated that's gonna require you to have the oppo outgunned in terms of ability most weeks (a la Man City and Pep's Barca).
players nearly always sell for prices lower than are quoted in the media. Raya likely will be 30-32m ..Maddison a shade above 40m.
We'll be linked with a tonne of players in the coming weeks, likely Lee Kang-in, Scott types around 15-20m and a rake of cb's and attacking midfielders in similar price bracket sub 30m. Medina, Tobido, Lukeba. And tbh, I think that's the market we should be shopping in, instead of overpaying for the players that are "proven" but not good enough to be wanted by the top clubs.
Agreed. Plus all reports are that Ange likes working with younger players he can mold (and he wants guys who can run and press all day long).
I’m incredibly skeptical of the reporting that he wants Maddison. I thought he would fit great in Mason’s 4-2-3-1, but he doesn’t feel like a fit for the way Ange wants to play and developed the squad.
Lazio will need ‘at least €30m’ to sign Bryan Gil from Tottenham this summer, with Spurs refusing to ‘start negotiations’ for anything beneath that price.
Tottenham want ‘at least €30m’ to ‘start negotiations’ for 22-year-old - Very hard for club to ‘obtain discounts’ - Sport Witness
Lazio will need ‘at least €30m’ to sign Bryan Gil from Tottenham this summer, with Spurs refusing to ‘start negotiations’ for anything beneath that price. That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who say it will prove hard for the Italian side to ‘obtain discounts’ from Tottenham this summer...sportwitness.co.uk
That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who say it will prove hard for the Italian side to ‘obtain discounts’ from Tottenham this summer.
Gil has spent the second half of this season on loan at former club Sevilla, establishing himself in the first team as they went on to win the Europa League.
He’s set to return to Tottenham once that loan deal officially ends as it does not include a purchase clause but whether he has a long-term future at the club remains to be seen.
He’s barely featured for the club since his arrival from Sevilla July 2021 and has regularly spoken of a need to depart and get regular playing time elsewhere.
A departure seems likely this summer and Lazio have been identified as a possible destination, with it claimed that manager Maurizio Sarri believes he can turn the Spaniard into a star.
Corriere now state that any deal would be ‘complicated’, at least from an economic point of view, as Tottenham are demanding ‘at least €30m’ for the player if he departs.
They had Gil tied down to a contract until 2026 which means that there is no need for them to sell on the cheap and there is little to no opportunity for Lazio to ‘obtain discounts’.
Thus, a move to the Italian side looks unlikely at this moment in time, although things can always change in the whirlpool that is the transfer window.
No rush to sell Gil. Doesn't need to be part of any clear out.
If they pay the 30m then fine. If not, off you fuck
Tottenham's Harry Kane has just made a decision on his future amid Man United interest
He knows exactly what he wantstbrfootball.com
Tottenham Hotspur star Harry Kane has reportedly decided that he wants to join Manchester United.
The Englishman, branded as an ‘underrated’ player by Jose Enrique, will enter the final year of his contract next month, and his future is still up in the air. There is a good chance he could leave Spurs this summer, and he has been linked with a few huge clubs.
Manchester United are one of them, and Football Transfers have shared some good news for the Red Devils.
Tottenham star Harry Kane wants to join Manchester United
There are very few clubs in the world who can afford to sign Harry Kane from Tottenham, even when he has just a year left on his contract.
Daniel Levy will certainly demand a fortune for him, and as things stand, Real Madrid and Manchester United are probably the only two sides who can match the Spurs chairman’s demands.
The report claims that “Erik ten Hag is eager to sign Kane and Manchester United can afford the £100 million” that would be required to make Levy even consider selling him.
A bigger positive for Manchester United fans is that Kane is apparently ready to leave Spurs and join Ten Hag’s side.
He ‘wants’ the move to Old Trafford and the report claims that if Levy blocks it this summer, he’s willing to wait a year and join the Red Devils for free in 2024.
Tottenham will then get nothing for him.
TBR View:
Daniel Levy has a very difficult decision to make at Tottenham.
No chairman ever wants to lose his best player, but Kane has given everything to Spurs over the years and with just a year left on his contract and his transfer value still so high, it makes sense to cash in on him.
However, signing a replacement for Kane when Tottenham have no European football to offer is a very difficult task, and that could convince Levy to just hold on to his star man.
It will be interesting to see what will happen in the coming weeks.
Can you find a shitter sourced article to share? Cheers.
Specially when they have already signed replacement who might even be better.
Such are the levels one stoops to when on an endless quest for dirge........

He also said our fans lacked patience and then ran in a tantrum when he started to struggle against teams like Southampton, Wolves & Sheff United.
£75-90 mil combined on Raya and Maddison. “Prem proven” tax is a joke. That’s how we got suckered into the Richarlison deal.
You could get Alex Scott, Kang-In Lee and Yehvann Diouf for under £60 mil. All younger and with higher ceilings.

“Prem proven tax”
Or
HG tax
????
Unfortunately to some extent we're currently beholden to the latter..... Esp. if we bin off Winks, Sessengon, Tanganga, Davies.
Richarlison for that price was always ridiculous
Maddison and raya are both actually very good if we could get the pair for around 65 -70 million I think that would be great business personally.
This might be the thing. If we are going to heavily rotate 8’s, and need 4 of them, then he could be useful.
Right. He did a job off the bench for Napoli and they did well out of it. Not enough to part with 30m but he was consistently useful.
All he was used for was resting legs, he got 1 goal and 0 assists in Serie A.
We do not need to pay £200k a week so that Bissouma can have a rest for 10 minutes every game. We can just let Harvey White do that.
would you go 40 for raya or 60-65 for costa who is 5 yrs younger
