This isn't fucking Sunday league football lol

Are we to believe if we sign a centre back after the tour, they're incapable of getting to know other humans and have to learn how to play in a high line?
No

But when you are bringing in a young, foreign player that might not speak English and almost certainly will have huge upheaval in their personal life for the first six weeks, then yes it’s absolutely critical to have done it three weeks ago.
 
If the summer finished as per below would this be satisfactory?

Bought:

Tapsoba
VDV
Vlahovic

With Kane sold plus the deadwood.
If we sold Kane and did that it would be a 6.5 average ish window.
I'm not going to pretend I'm happy for Vlahovic to replace Kane, but perhaps Vlahovic, Maddison and Soloman make it less painful in the aggregate. And we don't have much of a choice.

I don't think there is a snowballs chance in hell that we got those players though, seriously starting to doubt we even get VDV over the line.

Yes,I would be happy with that. The Kane situation behind us,centre back problem fixed for the foreseeable and a striker who has shown he’s top notch but still has a point to prove and is the right age to improve.
You add in that the squad is trimmed by getting rid of the deadwood and money brought in then you have got to be happy with that.
Time for this club to move in a different direction.
 

Journalist Dean Jones has said his sources at Tottenham have informed him that Daniel Levy is worried about the prospect of Ange Postecoglou starting his first Premier League season without Harry Kane at the club.

If reports over the last few days are to be believed, Bayern Munich are not giving up on their pursuit of Kane despite both their offers being turned down by Spurs (Fabrizio Romano –Here We Go Podcast).


Kane has travelled with the Tottenham squad for pre-season to Australia and it was reported by Dan Kilpatrick in The Evening Standard on Friday that the striker will not agitate for a move like he did when Manchester City came calling two years ago as he does not want to leave the club on a sour note.

Kilpatrick added that the 29-year-old is open to all possibilities, including signing a new deal, leaving this summer, and leaving on a free next summer.



Daniel Levy is worried about impact of selling Kane
Jones has now explained that while Levy was initially open to the idea of cashing in on Kane, the Spurs chairman is now having doubts about selling the club’s talisman, given the lack of stability at the club.

The journalist said on The Done Deal Show: “In February, I have a very good contact at Tottenham who said for the first time that Daniel Levy was considering selling him this summer because he can’t stand the idea of losing him for free.

“It came to the back end of the season and I spoke to him again and he said he doesn’t think he’ll let him go, and he said he’s stubborn.

“He doesn’t want to lose Harry Kane and he’s very very worried about the fact that they have a new manager coming in with no Premier League experience and that Kane wouldn’t be there to see that period through.

“There’s no stability left at the club and where these goals will come from or how you will replace him.”

Spurs Web Opinion

Levy’s concern is certainly understandable as, despite all the promise that Postecoglou has shown in his career so far, there is an element of a gamble with the appointment.

The Australian would certainly have a steep learning curve during his first few months in the Premier League and it is thus vital that he has the leadership and experience of the likes of Kane to call upon, especially since Lloris is leaving.
It’s simple give Kane until the end of the current tour to sign or accept Bayern’s offer if he does not. If Levy wants him to stay, offer the new pay rise, offer a post playing job and also sign a couple of centrebacks a.s.a.p..Latest news or rumour is that Vlahovic is going to PSG. That would limit replacement choices to Kolo MJa I, Martinez or ,a good choice in Goncalo Ramos.

I do agree with you on this. If we sold Kane we could but I’d be surprised if we got them.

A new contract has already been offered, he should be given until the end of the week to sign it.
 
This is the transfers thread.

Why would you come in here and ask people but to observe that transfers haven’t happened?

Not really what's just been put to you, but ok.......

I was addressing the amount of crystal-bollocks being served up....... You're relentless at this point.

8am - Never gonna happen.
8.10am - NEVER EVER GONNA HAPPEN.
9am - Update: Never gonna happen.
9.15am - I knew it... Still not happened!


Chill FFS.

.......Everybody gets to gloat and have their moment IF they are PROVED right.
