But then you think Johnson for 50m starts to make (Ange) sense. And that’s the slightly scary bit.

You were all in on Sessegnon for £40m odd, remember discussing it with you (that all I saw was a guy who was excellent at being on the end of things for Fulham in the Championship, you replied how that was a good quality, in backing the signing).

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Paulo Dybala from AS Roma in the January transfer window.

That is according to TuttoJuve, which has named three other Premier League clubs who are keen on the AS Roma forward.

So, what has been reported about Tottenham Hotspur and Paulo Dybala? Let’s take a look.

Tottenham Hotspur linked with Paulo Dybala
Well, according to TuttoJuve, Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs who want to sign Paulo Dybala from AS Roma in the January transfer window.

The report has claimed that Spurs want to sign a new striker in the middle of the season, and that the North London club have joined the race for the Argentina international.

TuttoJuve has claimed that Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle United are also keen on the 30-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder as well.

While United think that Dybala would complete their attack, Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino personally wants his Argentine compatriot at Stamford Bridge. The Blues were linked with him in the summer of 2023 as well.

Paulo Dybala is one of the best forwards around who is very highly. He has been a star in Italy for years now.

Dybala was superb during his time at Juventus. He won the Serie A title five times and reached the final of the UEFA Champions League once.

Real Madrid and Brazil legend Roberto Carlos said in April 2022 that Dybala is “world class” and “a great striker”.

Spurs forward Dejan Kulusevski played with Dybala at Juventus and described him as “a fantastic player” in July 2022.

Rodrigo Bentancur is also a big fan of Dybala. Back in February 2019, the Spurs midfielder said on UEFA’s YouTube channel when asked what he would take from his game: “His shot. Because with the left foot he has on him, let’s just say I’d like to have it.”

Dybala has scored four goals and given six assists in 12 Serie A matches so far this season. Last season, the 30-year-old scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 22 league starts.

Article I saw yesterday said he has a €13m release clause.
 
Either this winter or the coming summer, of the 17, we could do with upgrading at least four of them

01 Bentancur
02 Bissouma
03 Dier new centre back (has to be this winter)
04 Gil new centre forward
05 Højbjerg new centre mid
06 Kulusevski
07 Emerson
08 Lloris Udogie
09 Lo Celso
10 Perisic new wide forward
11 Porro
12 Richarlison
13 Romero
14 Solomon
15 Son
16 Van De Ven

Think if he has a low release clause, similar to that Stutgart guy, he’s worth checking with Ange (if his form is decent). Could allow a CB and CM, then allow Kulu to stay wide (basically be 3rd choice striker, 2nd choice 10 and emergency flank attacker).

€13m if true, on a 2year deal with option for 3rd… if he flunks it, is exactly the type Saudi would likely give us the €13m back for.

Here's a curveball for you (and our board): how about we look to sign English players? You know, being an English team and all.

Dragu, Todibo, Ikatura, Sangante, Dybala, Guirassy, Jota...where are our countrymen? It's as if there's no talented Englishmen out there. Oh yeah we've been linked to Gallagher. That does it then.

Really does my head in how we've become like the Woolwich and Chelsea of old who used to field 10 or 11 foreign players. We used to have Walker, Rose, Ledley, Dele, Kane...also a time when we had Crouchy, Defoe, Lennon, Hudders, Jakey, Jenas...and others I'm forgetting.

Not having a pop at you at all, my man. Just making the point that I'd like us to look at what's happening on these shores first before turning to a Dybala who's past his prime, whatever the price tag/resale value. How about we start by giving Donley a real go?

Agree, almost completely, except young English players cost 3-4x their foreign equivalent.

I’m all for Scarlett, Donley et al. being given every chance, but Donley is a loan (at least) short of being ready (it appears by Anges subs etc).

Would love us to have signed Scott in the summer, as I was pimping it, would love us to get a £25m equivalent to Gallagher (the Blackburn lad, maybe), but it mustn’t hinder Anges near term ability to take us as high as he can.

We don’t have an HG issue currently - 2 reserve GK, Davies, Sessegnon (if he stays), Skipp, Madders, Johnson, Donley, etc. What we have a dearth of is club-trained players for 4 spots in a 25 man squad if we are to compete in Europe next year.

Couldnt agree more. Its much easier for the fans to identify with when we have some Englishmen (preferably through the academy) in the side. I remember when Bolton played in Europe with 11 foreign players and thought, that aint right. Its not seeing it as an HG issue either, its about identifying with English players.

We have Maddison as the only English nailed-on starter and thats a little sad. Unfortunately the best English players attract ridiculous price tags (see Grealish / Rice) but it would be nice to see us mix it up a bit and look at players like Alex Scott, or Gibbs-White before he moved - ie. players that arent in the stupid £50m+ category but are also not 18 year old "punts" for a few million. Hopefully Phillips and Dorrington both make the grade, and Donley gets some more minutes. Any budding Kane replacements in the academy....? ;)

One problem. If you play for Ange you have to run and run some more. Dybala doesn’t run very much.

Dybala strikes me as quite likely a poor fit for what Ange is trying to build. I hope we don't get him. Would love Gallagher and Eze from the current English crop.
 
Dragusin and Jota in this month, and hopefully look at a centre mid. That has to be the minimum.


In the summer I'd love us to go for Morgan Gibbs-White, a centre forward and another winger.
