But the Athletic article does point out his significant weaknesses too. This is quite a risk, we need to be honest about that.It looks like Levy got his hands on Buffon and the Athletic now. He has them pushing his propaganda now too so he can pull the wool over the supporter’s eyes just because he didn’t want to spend 40 million on Raya.

Is it though? I thought it became pretty clear pretty quickly (maybe a year or so ago) that Gvardial was going to end up at one of the very best clubs in Europe within a year or so, and therefore we wouldn't have a chance. Even if we had made a bid, had it accepted, and agreed terms with the player, surely City, Real, and others, would have come in and blown us out of the water?
People also talk about missing out on Bastoni last year - didn't he make it pretty clear that he had no intention of coming to us?
We have to remember that players aren't just commodities we can pick up off a shelf and purchase, if they don't want to come, or if bigger dogs join the hunt, then we've got no chance.
I'm not saying we shouldn't have ambition - of course we should - but anyone (for example) expecting us to get Gvardiol is dreaming. There is no point wasting time and effort going after the very best in the world, as we simply won't get them. We do, however, need to be going after the very best of the next 'tier' - not poundland rejects. Tapsoba does seem to fit that profile.
Tapsoba is the one that excites me. We need to pay a bit over the odds if needs be, especially if the reports are true and he’s keen to join.
Him and Adaraboiyo would be very satisfactory and ideally we get bidders for Sanchez, Dier, Tanganga, Lloris and Lenglet isn’t taken back.
I suspect we’ll hold on to Dier.. which isn’t ideal, him a Lloris made too many glaring individual mistakes that led to goals.

I mean the question is why wouldn't you know about these players, it's never been easier to watch other leagues now and do your own research on players thanks to streaming services and things like YouTube and Twitter.
The fact that you didn't know some of these names is pretty embarrassing.
I watched the (dreaded) YouTube highlights of the new Keeper last night.
I liked him. My assessment was.
He does like to parry a shot back out. Good size. He does like to parry a shot back out. Fills the goal frame and spreads well. He does like to parry a shot back out. Good reflexes. He does like to parry a shot back out. Some absolutely stunning saves. He does like to parry a shot back out. Knows his angles. He does like to parry a shot back out.

He's defo not worth the mad hype there's been since the link was first announced. Neither is he worth 60 mil bandied about
Love his name too, like a mashup of Wanyama and Dembele.
Gotta be honest, I'd not really heard of Vicario before we were linked... didn't know anything about him......
......wait for it....
....here it comes.....
So I had to Guglielmo him!
I dont understand the thinking behind keeping Dier. Liverpool home game last season tells you all you need to know about Dier as a defender.
Who would be your #1 choice for CB to pair with Romero in Ange's system?
Eh?
You've named some pretty known players there mate. If you hadn't heard some of those then it's probably more down to your lack of footballing knowledge outside of Spurs than our club going after unknowns players.
Not to mention irrelevant as to whether they're any good or not.
My post you quoted agrees with what you just typed.
I meant it to
I defo think there's a deal to be done with Juve, seen as they've reportedly been interested in Tanguy and Lo Celso in the past.
I'd happily let them have either for 20ish mil + Iling Jr + bonuses
Oh I agree. I want him gone. I just suspect we can’t get rid of them all and Dier is the one that’ll hang on…
On Romero...perhaps we wouldn't need to worry about his Argentina trips or cuntshithousery penalizing us if he weren't at the club no more.
How some still call him world class/elite is beyond me.
Saudis come calling with a 60 mil offer, I'm driving him to Riyadh.
think it will be davies myself
Of these names I can honestly say I had to do research on
Gil, Clarke, N’Jie and Vicario
The rest should be fairly well known I thought.
