I don't think that matters too much tbh.
When we were close to signing van de Ven, he played in friendlies for Wolfsburg a day or two before being seen at the Shakhtar game...
Kane played 3 or so days before signing for Bayern etc.

thats a joke if they were! i thought kane and ndom was 250. would of thought hugo and perisic 150 and donkey dier 100 too much.
Football Insider (I know, I know) saying we’ve hijacked Gallagher…
Fuck’s sake, Tottenham.
Fuck’s sake, Tottenham.
The way Ange plays, we need to have this SORT OF quality across our first 11 to do anything this season.
For a club that is on a rebuild with lofty ambitions (apparently), this is the DIRECTION we should be going in.
There's nothing magical there; it's just a solid top 6 upwards team that could justify talk of challenging/cups.
*Yes, I'd consider playing Romero there against city/scum/chelsea/pool/manure and maybe a couple others, as we're, typically, an almighty mess in transition/turnovers and would need his aggression, reading, recovery and game on the ball. He sits right in front of CB and we instantly have proper hard-as-nails security at the centre of our game.

do you think we don't need that sort of quality to play Ange's style in the prem (to achieve anything)?What do you think would work best with his style of play, to offer proper balance?
Because we will be shipping just as many goals next season, as it stands, and squandering just as many good opportunities in the final third.

With Neto and Eze in there, you don't need Romero as the 6.... So probably best off sticking our best defender in his best position.
Because with Neto and Eze you'll already see the ball retention we lack in the final third, meaning less turnovers and less defensive action required.
You'd be best off blooding Gray there if you're not keen on Bissouma.
If we have I don’t really understand why
Agree for most teams.
Would still need his qualities - or equivalent - in that position for better/top teams imo.
Which is why I stated the clubs I would play him against, specifically.
Biss would be fine for the other games.
First rule of Ange is that the player wants to play for Spurs. Gallagher clearly doesn't.

tbh I was just tickled by you dropping Son for James Maddison, and playing one of the worlds best CBs in midfield
Taken at gunpoint to Atletico with any luck!
Their saying we want to hijack the deal
Why would that be a problem in the team I selected, where he would bring the same skillset, but just in front of the CB's... where he could also slot in between, at times to form a high line 3 to let 7 freely attack?
Giving us more security against the better teams that will punish you?
Maddison's most effective area of the field pre-injury was working front left.
He's generally sucked mid-left/centrally.
At the beginning of the season, he and Udogie were raiding that zone like bandits.
His assists seem to typically arise from that area (for england, too).
Son 's a good squad player, now, but not the guy I'd have in the first 11 on that side.
Not a good fit for this system.
Postecoglou may stand or fall on Gallagher if he comes and fails to change the picture.
Seems clear Postecoglou sees something that to me seems well hidden.
Good player no question; but good enough?
We need a midfiekder but is Gallagher the best we can get for whatever that need is?
Come off it, he would rather stay at Chelsea than join any other club.At least with Spurs he knows that Ange really appreciates him. He would do a great job moving the ball from defence to attack, the only player I would take from Chelsea except for Reece James when at his best.
Yet another Spurs target (well, according to social media) sold to another club.
I like Summerville but with Johnson, Werner, Son, Richalison, Solomon and Moore all playing in his position I understand why Spurs let West Ham have him...
