Yeah, he was pretty much perfect bodywise in his last season here. When he went to Real he obviously tried to compete with Ronaldo and overdid it.

“Typical Levy, signing Sonny’s mate on the cheap to further exploit the Korean market, he should be going for a proven CB like Skriniar!”
The North (17) remembers.
Shady financial deals don't even come close to comparing with the invasion of a country that has left tens of thousands dead and mothers on both sides mourning the loss of their sons for no fucking justifiable reason whatsoever.
Yes, either option really. At some point we have to give youth a chance like most other teams in the Prem. Sign him but don't loan him. Then reassess at the season's end.
There aren't that many big time strikers to begin with. Most would be punts on promising youngsters who may end up the next big thing.
Isn't the point of the buy and loan idea to get players before they become really expensive, even if they aren't ready for your first team?
We see the multi-club model for the City Football Group, Red Bull or now Chavs and Strasbourg.
It's like doing that.
Looks like it worked ok with Udogie and Sarr if they both end up first team players this year.
Udogie would have been a 30-40m player this summer...
It was still the more logical deal to do than Rodon? Even from Levy’s MO? Since when would anyone’s comments trouble Daniel? The club really exploited the vast Welsh market with Joe Rodon. I imagine outside of his family and friends, the club shop probably sold under a thousand shirts and less tickets to games to watch him play (when he’s played)
Commercially KMJ was always the better option than Joe Rodon. At the time, Skriniar would have been a starter rather than a punt.
If this was a CB, I'd agree. But we're ok in the attacking areas, even with Kane leaving, so this is more like succession planning.
I'mm fully on the Orban train mate.
You could offer me Vlahovic, Kolo Muani, or Orban and I'm rolling with Gift.
According to this report his Argentinain club want to keep him on loan for six months.
''To that end, Romano added the Argentine side will push to include a key clause that would delay Veliz’s arrival in north London for at least six months.
Rosario Central hope to loan Veliz straight back if an agreement is reached. Per Romano, they want Veliz back in their colours “for at least six months.
If Spurs agree to that demand, Veliz would not link up with his new Tottenham teammates until at least the January window.
That would do little for new boss Ange Postecoglou in the here and now, especially if Harry Kane is sold.''
Tottenham agree deal to sign lethal striker, but key clause could leave Postecoglou raging
Tottenham have struck an agreement on personal terms with an Argentine striker, though the structure of deal being proposed could prevent an immediate arrival, per a top source.

It’s where we’re not ok that’s the problem. No point in succession planning where we are presently ok whilst ignoring where we are presently looking very dodgy.
The succession signings should compliment our first team signings. It shouldn’t be one or the other and the defence will still be shit in one or two years time unless it has an overhaul.
Dembele crocked when he went, and his choice as he was not fit enough to play in PL
If all the big european clubs didn't rate Kim, no surprise we bid relatively low - the fact we did bid probably shows Son's influence. Turkish club got a bargain. It happens
Could see him going on loan again in January.According to this report his Argentinain club want to keep him on loan for six months.

Maybe in Europe.
I'm not saying it does but you're wanting the club not to do business with Russian clubs while turning a blind eye to someone who has committed fraud, there has to be consistency there.
Richie and Sonny should be enough for the first half of the season. The kid can make some cameos in the second half and hopefully with Europe next season will get even more time. I'm not too fussed about him joining in January.According to this report his Argentinain club want to keep him on loan for six months.

Meh, quite happy to Gil a chance, he is quite promising too, when he played last season, I don't think he ever put in a bad performance.
That’s perfect hindsight.
No. KMJ’s profile in 2020 in Korea wasn’t close to what it is now and it’s still not within a mile of Sonny’s profile.
I’ve yet to see a single billboard of him. A single TV Ad featuring him or a single K-Drama mention him.
I’m sure if the club had wanted him to stay and get himself fit, he would have stayed. We were competing on several fronts and ended up in the biggest final of them all. A fit and fresh Dembele would have had more impact in that final than an unfit Harry Kane. I’d put my mortgage on that. Genuine big game player.
But I digress.
How things turned out suggests that the club should have perhaps listened to Sonny if he had said something.
We ended up with Joe Rodon instead. It happens.
