Yea- actually at least from this video I think his shot stopping is worse than Lloris. I understand he’s young and likely will improve, but dang, the video definitely does not put me at ease.

Keeper is somewhat a make or break it position. Not spending more money on the proven, ready to compete Raya is a sure sign we‘re back in development mode.
Considering most of the comments I’ve seen about him from actual Serie A supporters saying his a great pick up for us, I think that may be more beneficial than a YouTube video. You never know though, we could have brought in Raya and he could shit the bed. There are zero guarantees in transfers.

Besides, I thought it was extraordinarily clear to everyone we are 1000% fully in development mode.
 
Lots of rumours on incoming players - but what about outgoing? Haven't heard a peep on the likes of Lloris, Sanchez, Perisic, Lo Celso, Reguillon, Rodon, Ndombelly, Winks
 
Hotspur88 on SC had an absolute mare trying to get some clout by calling the Raya transfer as almost done a couple of days before the Vicario news broke, leaving him once again looking like a massive fucking helmet.


“I believe we have basically agreed a fee now. Much closer to 30m. This should be wrapped up this week 🤞

Followed by this lamentable attempt to cover all bases when PoK suggested we were moving away from Raya

“Not heard anything on this one to suggest things have changed. It's not to say things haven't, but the update I received a few days back were that a fee was almost agreed more towards the 30m mark. I was very confident that Raya would be our first signing but things do change. Who knows 🤷🏼‍♂️

What a fucking fraud

Vicario had the 2nd best (from players to play over 1000 mins) "Expected Goals per shot on Target vs goals conceded" in Serie A with +2.9. Lloris was ranked 31st in the PL this season with -4.1.
 
Doc Doc

This shows Vicario as 3rd best GK in Serie A (on PSxG), and one of the GKs above him barely played any games. But it also shows Onana and Maignan has lowly ranked, so can this be trusted?
To put your mind at ease, Maignan was top last season (Vicario was 9th)

 
If they move on from their #1 target at CB for the second summer in a row, Levy can take a fucking hike.
Agreed on the importance of paying for Tapsoba, if he is this year’s Plan A.

I don’t think Bastoni would’ve ever agreed personal terms with Spurs. He clearly didn’t want to leave Italy and his boyhood team. Conte overestimated his pull with Bastoni. He and Paratici didn’t have a Plan B, C, or D and we’re forced to go with Plan F (Lenglet).

He's the one that has a meltdown everytime someone is the slightest bit critical to him. He threatens to quit until everyone tells him how valuable he is to the server and he comes back again for more attention.

Ok. Which four of you got banned there today?

:ange-hands-head:
 
you actually watched this player? going off his youtube clips he does not look all that. im getting sanchez vibes from him, looks quite stiff and in some of his clips looked like he got a bit lucky. hopefully this is all very wrong if we do sign him.

I’ve seen him a bit. Looks good to me mate.

Fortunately it’s not either of our jobs to scout the players though.

My point is this, they can’t go another summer and not get the top choice at CB. It cost the team big time last year.
 
Maddison is the signing we can actually wait them out for. Unlike Raya/Brentford he is NOT going to want to play championship footy.

In the meantime we can focus on Tapsoba, Tosin and Scott. Whilst clearing the decks of the deadwood/dross and getting a good deal for PEH/GLC etc.
Good approach! We can still make do without Maddison until we get alternative. Especially if you play kulu in the 10 and porro wide right.
 
Why would he only want to come to us and not Newcastle at all? One club finished 8th, the other is a CL team and looks to be on the way up.
Newcastle have to do their build within FFP and it wouldn't be wild to suggest that they will struggle to balance CL and the league in the immediate future. I'd be a little cautious that the domestic teams and Chelsea are also on the same teat too.

More specifically, there is a real gap in weather and amenities between London and Newcastle. We would probably commit 70-75 million in wages to Maddison. For them to outbid us without causing themselves issues is no easy thing.
