It’s just physics that 6’4” guy gonna take longer to get down low, but he will have longer reach for other shots.

4 or 5 he could of done better with but no obvious howlers tbf
if we get vicario which seems likely
would we be happy if it got us tabsoba, perhaps a tosin or nielson, scott or maddison in the cam and maybe that maxence caquret guy sorry for the spelling

Tapsoba would be a dream but I think it would be difficult to pull off. He has 3 years left on his deal and Leverkusen have every right to demand a big fee.
If he is shit then why are Inter, Juventus and Milan keeping him as the first name on their list if they have to change keepers?
i got a feeling we will get tapsoba for some reason, will levy really neglect getting in a top quality CB
On the plus side, even putting a wet lettuce in goal would be an improvement on Hugo’s level from last season. So it’s all gains.
I think the most interesting was reading from Italians of other Serie A clubs.
Most saying he was probably the second best performing goalkeeper over the course of the season last year behind the Lazio goalkeeper and based on overall quality, the third best behind Onana and Maignan.
It's pointless judging him based on his Serie A and Empoli stint though. They play a completely different way to us and in a completely different league. If he signs, we judge what he can do in a Spurs shirt and gets our full backing.
Our defenders don´t speak ANY language, they don´t even know how to defend FFS!
Being smarter with our signings maybe like our fans want?
Murphy hasn't learned anything at all.
I reckon £50,000,000 gets Tapsoba.
I don't think we recoup that by getting rid of Dier and Sanchez. However, if we've saved potential £20,000,000 from not paying that ridiculous fee for Raya then it may be possible.
By the same token; if the actual power-play is to effectively eat football itself (and hijack any potential European Super League into being a global project) then both clubs are just tools; a means to an end.
Correct me I'm wrong but you can own multiple clubs in the same league out there, so there's no particular concern about the sporting integrity and conflict of interest between clubs.... It's the entertainment brands - Man U, Barca etc. - they're interested in; not the sport itself.
Problem with data is that football isn’t a one person sport. It’s all good that some keepers have better passing stats than others but that might mean their team mates are better at getting into passable positions. Shots saved? Well you’re facing more shots if you play for a shit team. Ability to win crosses? Well if you play for a team with a master CB who heads everything away then you in turn don’t get to claim as many crosses.
Data deffo has its place - but so much of it can be scrutinised. Brighton and Brentford are in the fortunate place that they trust what the board do and fans don’t throw a hissy at signing someone they haven’t heard of
4 clubs spending the money are all owned by the sovereign wealth fund
Huh? We shouldn’t be buying really good players that improve the team and then get sold at a massive premium?
Thought I'd read something to that effect.....
What if Vicario is the second coming of Alison?
Funny how some people always phrase it in the negative.
No... Rather than scout as well as Brentford, we should buy their keeper for 40m instead.
