Son back before Veliz, Werner cementing himself, Richy bagging. Where does Veliz get game time from?
He's a young kid and needs minutes and goals to develop. We can't give them him atm.

Amen!
Biggest proof of that is Newcastle.
Owned by oil-barons, team has 0 depth, many long term injuries + Tonali ban - and NOTHING. Absolutely no reinforcements.
Feels like change of motus operandi for sure.
Now we have double advantage -
1) In terms of buying younger promising players, we have good experience and brilliant track record of late (U-dog, Sarr) ; PLUS our youth teams are flying very high - we are on 100% win ratio in U21 EPL and we also top U18 EPL.
2) When others play their cards with hands tied to their back, WE actually do have FFP wiggle-room to also tap into more expensive and established players market.
Tottenham player acting as 'ambassador' to help Spurs seal dramatic signing - Was even at transfer meeting - Sport Witness
It was only a matter of time before it happened, but it appears Dejan Kulusevski has joined the fight to convince Lucas Bergvall to choose Tottenham over Barcelona. It’s Fotboll Direkt who bring the news on Thursday, who explain that the Sweden international was ‘very much present’ when the...

Just another superstar who wants to chase and chase what they can never get back.
A non-story.
why do i get the feeling big ange swayed him to us with is mate speech
It's being reported in ABC Sevilla, probably the best source for stories regarding Andalusian teams (the paper has journalists "embedded" in Sevilla and Betis for example).
They say they have confirmed it with Sevilla and reckon it's a Plan B in case they don't sign Róbert Boženík from Boavista.
Here's the link - it's in Spanish but you can run it through Google Translate. The only real new detail is what I've put above though.
Alejo Veliz, el plan B de Bozenik
It's gone a bit quiet.
Still not buying it for us but if you are a Barca fan, you have your doubts now. The kid maybe wanted Barca but his reps must have left Barca with concerns or they'd have done the medical and signed the contract yesterday.
Im thinking Kulusevski has gotten into his head with some "Bror..."-talk.
He really talks in a ghetto-swedish kind of way, sounds horrible, but it would definitely intimidate someone from a seemingly posh background like Bergvall. ( I dont actually know where Bergvall grew up, but he looks like a posh swedish youngling)
imo barca is a bad choice for a 17 year old, he can always play for them down the line if its his dream
Yep Ange has been phoning him regularly and whispering “mate” whilst playing ABBA songs in the background, every hour
fucking mad no
Bergvall another Levy "we tried" special?

"Bergvall, who traveled to Barcelona after meeting with Tottenham, has since returned home and ‘will have a few days’ to think about what he does next, which is what Expressen were reporting on Wednesday.
Despite claims that Spurs arrived at the last minute to try and sign the midfielder, the Swedish website state that everyone involved ‘effectively managed for several weeks to obscure’ the Premier League club’s attempts of signing Bergvall.
Either way, the youngster will remain at his club until the summer, since he cannot sign a five-year contract with anyone until he turns 18, which so happens to be the day after deadline day, February 2n"d.
We can all switch off skysports for the day and close this thread. Veliz on loan, maybe Gil goes last minute but we are done here.

Guarantees about playing time. Not sure on it myself even with that.
Sweden are 2 hours ahead of the UK
so he’s 18 at 22:01 UK time…the Don and Levy will tie the PL up in knots till the ink driesSweden are 2 hours ahead of the UK
What time was he born though?
Thing is, no-one gets guarantees on playing time. There might be a broad agreement that the player will get minutes, but it won't be a guarantee - no manager or club would provide that. What if he stank the place out and wasn't dropped? It's just not realistic for a relatively unproven player.
Old enough to remember paying millions for a 17 year old was frowned upon and even illegal
