I'm banking on this because I have no idea who this kid is. But I see Udogie, Sarr, VDV etc and trust that he'll have what we need.

I have absolutely no idea how non-pros seem to know so many players from other leagues (and in different countries) and have watched them regularly enough to be able to judge how good they are. I mean, Leeds games aren't even televised that much, are they? Unless you watch players in games week in, week out, you don't really know for sure how consistent they are unless maybe you chat to their fans and trust their judgement. Certainly not by reading stats or watching brief highlights with shit beats and singing chipmunks in the background.

No offence to anyone here, but I'll trust the scouts this transfer window over the fans.

We can make a deal with Leeda, estimate Gray at 35 M for their accounting and loan fee 3 M to go back in one season loans . Rodon if he accepts to other ways 17 M. And Skip on one season loan with option of 20M.

The kids we loaned back were Sarr, Udogie and Bergvall for a few months. All of them 8-15m.

Gray is 35m+. He’s not going back on loan surely?
It’s pretty clear we want to shift Emerson and Spence so we can bring in a RB. That’s going to be Gray and he will play minutes at the #6 too,

After this maybe they go after Doue, then a senior CM and #9. As long as the CM and #9 are starting 11 and improve us now, that’s good business

Right now we are shaping up to be a Rolls Royce in defence and midfield but a Fiat Punto in forward areas.
Need two big first XI attacking signings.

Who gives a fuck what players JT wants to sign. We pay people millions of pounds to do that for us.

If you find his posts so boring put him on ignore. Simple stuff. Your incessant whining about him is no more tiresome.

If you don’t like FOKs posts, take your own advice and put HIM on ignore.

Your incessant whinging about posters rightfully calling JT out is also tiresome.

What I’m half expecting now is that they go after Doue as the long term Son replacement that can play either wing, then go for a marquee #9. As long as they nail that #9 I’m fine with it.

But none of this Ivan Toney nonsense. Or even David. If your big signing to change the game up front is a 9, make them a real game changer

In my opinion; Archie Gray looks less promising than a 19 year old Ryan Sessegnon did 5 years ago.

Spurs just never learn.

If he signs of course I would want him to do well but; Ollie Skipp looked very decent after one full season in the Championship.

The irony of Skipp being part of the deal to bring Gray in tells you something.

Gray is 6' 2" which will probably help him in the Premier League.

Apart from that I find it difficult to be enthused.

Spurs need players for now.

Don't forget that Sessegnon was never it. He even got injured several times while still recovering from previous injuries...
