Was expecting fuck off liar
Yours was far more subtle and therefore deserving of the smilies
I know nothing about him...is this a good signing?
That's because you're not a complete man child who's only motivation for supporting this team is to get off when we are in perceived bad moments.
Impossible to say but he's talented, can cover 2 positions (RB & No 6) and will be classed as home grown and club trained in 3 years. Ticks a lot of boxes. He won the championship young player of the year and is playing 2 levels up for England U21s. I think its a good signing but time will tell. You can certainly see why the club went for him.
He is two footed and knows how to play his way out of a tight spot.
6'2"
Very confident boy.
I hope he is treated as a player for now and not loaned.
Played 50+ games (Over 4,000 mins) for Leeds in Championship last season, and has two E u21 caps ..... although only turned 18 in March.
So very highly rated, no need for him to be regular starter in first team so I think Ange will pencil in say 20 games for him at RB or DM and see how he fares ...... and if he lives up to his reputation he'll end up playing 40 games this season.
Huge upside potential.
I suspect the deal with Brentford broke down because we were in negotiations at the same time. We offered better than Brentford, and that's why Leeds refused the deal.
I also suspect that Grey's representatives we're also made an offer, now they're just dotting the i's and crossing the t's.
In all likelihood, Gray was sent for 2 medicals, so they could get this done, with one or the other, in time to meet PSR requirements. So if one fell through, they didn't waste a further day or two getting a medical booked in.
Honestly cannot see him being loaned out, we need as many top players in as we can get this window
Tottenham 'in the front row' for player - Patient approach may end up paying off - Sport Witness
Tottenham remain ‘in the front row’ for striker Albert Gudmundsson, although he still prefers to stay in Serie A. That’s according to Corriere dello Sport, who say the striker remains an option for Tottenham as Inter Milan fail to push a deal over the line. The newspaper explains that Inter are...sportwitness.co.uk
I really want us to buy another striker, preferrably a number 9, but the links really dont seem to be there. I think if we end the window without one it will be a huge mistake. Trouble is, I suspect the club doesnt see value anywhere.
The striker market is really poor unless there is some hidden gem they can find i reckon they will just take a punt on a cheapish option like Jonathan David at £30m or Toney at £40m and hope for the best.
The added problem is the quality winger market appears to be thinning a bit as well with Olise and Williams both off the table and Neto perma crocked. Can think.of Kubo and/or Doue but never seen either of them so no idea if they are good enough.
He'll either back himself to start or he won't. If he won't, he'll spend the rest of his career as a 'big fish in a little pond' starter for lower sides.
Do you think he'd turn down Utd because Fernandez is there? Would he turn down City because Foden is there?
He'll get plenty of game time, in his favoured position here, and he'll know that, so he'll know he'll have plenty of opportunity to keep Maddison on the bench. For all we know as well, they may just be superb on the pitch together.
As I posted before, it's a squad game. With potentially 60 or so games to be played, the squad will get full use. Then it's up to the players to maintain their form if they want the Lion's share of that game time.
Healthy, quality competition for places is what we need if we are to mount any kind of challenge, either this season or next.
Quite a turnround in buying strategy over the last few years - we are buying a couple of players most summers who are long term bets eg Sarr, Lankshear, Soonsup-Bell, Phillips, Bergvall and now Gray.
Its a good strategy as we may buy a young player who we'd struggle to get when he's older.
Sarr looks to have been a good buy after a full season in PL, and I have hopes for the others in the next year or two.
And add in youngsters who have come through our youth system eg Parrott, Donley, Moore, Devine, Santiago, Dorrington, Abbott et al, all of whom might make it into first team consideration (although most will not) and we should have an interesting squad refresh in future years of thise bought for the 'here and now' mixed with a few youngsters that have grown at Spurs.

Teams are conspiring amongst each other to sell players at 30x their real market value to overcome FFP regulations.
Because they want the money? Just because the PSR deadline has passed doesn’t mean they won’t sell players. They just aren’t scrabbling around in desperation.
well after Bissouma it seems we don’t really care about this sort of thing (obviously, innocent until proven guilty)
If they wanted a cheaper punt on a striker they are letting Guirassy go Dortmund and Zirkzee go Utd for a 40m release clause.
Either they want a marquee #9 or they are planning for a different type of Forward imo
It's weird how Brentford keep attempting to sign Spurs targets and fucking it up.
Nusa went South too.
Get the right winger in (Williams, Doue, whoever it will be that can move the needle) and I think that a striker becomes less of an issue. Both Son and Richarlison can play the top role, and a quality winger would feed them both to their preferred style. Son would most especially benefit, as it severely reduces his need to play with his back to goal, he'd be running into the ball rather than have to hold it up and play others in.
Eze, top winger and Gray would be a good window IMO, then worry about the striker role next season. That's if it isn't already solved by then, should anyone of Parrott, Scarlett or Lankshear happen to make the step up, with Son and Richarlison already here.
