Scott is never a winger. He’s an attacking midfielder who’d be great in Ange’s 4-3-3. Definitely worth a punt as he’s got brilliant ability.

Ill say this. A proper no nonsense club desperate for a creative goalscoring attacking midfielder like Maddison would have got this done quickly and quietly and moved on. I mean for fuck sake hes at a relegated club.
Yes he will be expensive. Yes he fits the bill in every way for what we are crying out for.
For once just get it done

The way Levy is portrayed is that we got Spence instead of Porro in the summer and Lenglet instead of Bastoni.
Which you could be forgiven for wondering if that contributed to Conte not sighing a new contract during the World Cup.
You might also be forgiven for being skeptical about what might happen after Maddison gets done as the big splash of ambition this summer…
Leicester are kidding themselves on if they think they’ll get £60 million for him. Even if they didn’t get relegated they’d still not have got that. We obviously want him but we do need 2 centre backs plus him. The hard bit is offloading the deadwood to generate even more money to what’s available.
Maddison is a poor man’s Eriksen in his prime but he’s exactly what we need just now.
Nope. Failed for 3.5 coaches. Get rid.
(Nono being the 0.5)
Im guessing you've never seen an Ange team. It's fine.
Thanks but this really has no relationship to the post that you replied to...
The question at hand was how/why we came to sign Porro.
I think Ange is about to get a Shot of Reality.

Could the Real Mr Levy Please stand up.
Porro and Kulusevski are counted by many as last years signing, this apparently is not true.
Clever Levy tactic. Sign a player this year, people get happy for a new signing, pay for the player next year and he gets counted for next years signings as well.
How much did Spurs spend last season under Conte?
Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou faces £100m transfer reality as budget blown
Tottenham may have to re-evaluate their plans for the summer transfer window.

Tell me how his team sets up then...

Imagine getting angry at something that hasn't happened yet all because of a tenuous report
Yeah sometimes there is a lightbulb moment for players. The only fear is they go back to doing what they did previously, but I don’t think it will be the case with him.
He seems such an obvious signing that I hope it happens. The amount of chances he will create for Kane is enough to make it an obvious one for us to want to do.
Once again ppl at the time were “he’s baller, just pay the money and get it done”

But we usually pay with instalments over a number of years, so it's not like we've already spent 70 mill this summer on the Porro and Kulu deals
Usual suspects in the Porro thread as well...
When his full backs come narrow, they're definitely not used as deep lying playmakers.
Personally, I'm hoping we don't play his Celtic 433 as right now we aren't suited to it.
Everything I've read on him and his team's, I'd much rather his alternative 433 or 4331 where we have a focal point up top, our wide players come inside in between the lines, our full backs stay wide and midfield stay relatively compact. As I think our squad is much more suited to it.
But I get the feeling we'll be playing his lopsided 433. Emerson will be our starting right back and come in at times to make it a back three with Udogie bombing forward
And a properly run club would say that we have Bissouma, Bentencaur, Skipp, Winks, Hojbjerg, Sarr, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Kulusevski all playing in midfield. Add to that Mundle and Devine who are vying for inclusion in our senior squad.
11 players, for 2 or 3 spots - and no European football.
Maybe ask the coach if any of them do the job before we splash out 50m?
The idea of seeing maddison in a Tottenham shirt horrifys me , I've always had a strong dislike of him . In all honesty that's probably got more to do with the state of his head than his ability as a footballer though...
If it was a good then no! Someone who actually has a good goal scoring record equitable to his price tag.So you think spending £60mil on a back-up striker was the wrong move?
