Spurs could be after players that aren't even being discussed. From what I've read of Lange, he seems to play his cards close to the vest. I never believe any of what's reported about transfers until multiple media outlets report the same thing, and sometimes not even then. Eze is probably a target, Neto the Plan B if they can't reach him, The Osimhen rumors, probably wishful thinking at best. I think Spurs could be back in for Gallagher if Chelsea needs the money for a bigger signing. I think we'll get one top of the line signing and three players we haven't heard much about but who fit Postecoglou's system. And I think nothing will happen until Spurs return from the pre-season tour. Of course that's all guesswork on my part. You see ITK people on message boards. I'm in the "IDK" column (I Don't Know). But, it's fun to speculate.
 
Just one forward apparently!
To those who said timo was just a loan / stop gap he still takes a place in the 25 man squad. We could have used donley or Moore there instead and bought in real quality. As it is if we are paying him £165K/ week then he is not gonna be left out of match day squads. Thus blocking likes of donley who could play there and Moore. If we lose our young talent bcos their path is blocked first team average squad players then I give up. Ange had all season to experiment and give some of these players game time and everyone would have understood. Anyone really think his gonna do that now in his 2nd season where he says his going for the title.
Do you never get tired of repeating the same mantra over and over again?
 
Absolutely not.

They came in, having been starters in top 5 leagues.

Not that hard to give playing time to them after they are proven in men's game.
SO FAR (but I hope it will change), Ange has given roughly zero chance for any of the youngsters to brake onto senior stage.
Precisely!

The discussion is obviously about the PROMOTION of youth not just the technicality of their age as some won't like to admit - the act of transitioning a player from youth squads to senior. With Sarr and Udogie we offshored that process. It's undisputable that Ange didn't have the bollocks to take any risks with youth last season even when the fanbase would have supported him in doing so i.e. during our injury crisis.

Levy is on record saying he wanted to revive the process of developing and integrating youth into the senior squad and is moving away from "trophy managers"; he said this during the fan forum with Ange sat right next to him last year. It wouldn't surprise me if Levy is forcing the issue with all these youth signings taking priority given how rubbish our youth integration was last season.

Can't fucking stand Levy but at least he is being consistent and Ange can have no complaints because that's what he signed up for.
