Being serious who cares when they sign, like why does it actually matter? lol
People only just stopped counting Romero and Kulusevski.
nobody wants Lo Soso. We'll be lucky to get a team dumb enough to loan him.
I dont want us to sell kulu btw. Conte can fuck off. Unless we get oshimen as part of deal but have a feeling he wont want to join us.
Why the confusion?
It matters because if someone presents a summary of our summer 2024 signings it should reflect reality, that's all.
This. You can't just import any good ball player into DM and assume it'll work, look at how Gray did today for instance. Hardest position on the pitch to play bar none and we've never seen Romero receive the ball with his back to goal, let alone anything else to do with the role.
Tbh with lo celso i dont think he could handle demands of premier league. Lamela was the same. Started the season well and by october was injured.
Yeah the best one was when we "made Kulu permanent"
1.5 years after signing him on a loan with a buy obligation.
At this point I'm assuming Kulu can play any position in this system until proven otherwise.
After counting his transfer in the spend for the previous 3 windows as a way to say the club was backing managers. Incredibly we managed to back Conte AND Ange with the Kulusevski transfer.
I mean it really matters cock all but just find this disingenuous double or triple counting to justify the lack of activity a bit laughable. We'll all know if we've had a good window or not in 4 weeks so lets not bullshit.
Anyone claiming to not feel disappointed / let down is either lying to themselves or isn't Spurs.
Has to be one or the other.
Stand on me, we will sign him permanently.
But for you and others I put a question mark alongside the fee we will pay.
We will not be receiving £15m from Girona for Gil.
Both signings very different
Bergvall needed to wait until he was 18 to sign, so signed on 2 Fenruatu (his birthday) so cannot have signed to be included in January window
Yang has signed ...... but loaned back in all but name until January when he joins Spurs.
Wow- strange move for him. I'm sure he's decent enough to play for them, but I get the sense he will be homesick.
I don't really understand the angle from Athletico Madrid though- seems like they are plenty good at developing or aquiring CM talent that they shouldn't need to spend so much for someone that isn't a clear upgrade. That and Chelsea also escape FFP jail once again. Either way I'm cool with it as I don't really want to see him at our team either.
Sayonara Connor! We hardly knew ye.
if we sign him next summer !
From January we were committed to signing Bergvall. It's not like we could just decide the day before his 18th Bday not to send his club the 8m. The deal was done in January. Don't complicate things. The deal happens and is counted when the deal is announced and the players takes pictures in Spurs kit.
Bergvall the clear standout signing of the summer so far. £8m looking like an absolute joke.
