But why is it a Choi e betw just those two if are gonna by a CF. There must be other players out there which the data team could have analysed..why wait till now they have all summer to get him if that is who they wanted. It’s pure BS from the club and Ange “we have plan and we are going to challenge for the league” bollocks!
Anyway why not use the mo et and just eze. If as everyone says we are looking for a tap in merchant I’m sure young Will can do the job.

So why have waited till last few weeks of transfer window to apparently show our interest. His had one good season. Where is the data led approach. He will be 27 in September. He will cost over £60M. We could get see for that money. Is he much better than Richy who cost £60M himself. Between them two and Johnson that would £170M and forward line would still be worse than most of the top half teams. Could we not find a younger player here or abroad for less money or the same but better player. Alvarez is looking for a move. We could prbly get Toney for half the price only one year older. Where is Ange’s talk about we have a plan and we are sticking to it. What his boast about going for the title. This guy is dippers reject and now we think he will help catch them and city up. No this is pure spurs wasting money again bco s the club have dithered, showed no ambition, have no clue what they are doing and now panicking.

Are we showing interest in Solanke? Or are internet hacks just recycling old news?

Still, why has nothing happened yet? My theory is that Alvarez has been the main target all along, and it has dragged on because of Copa success and then his decision to compete at Olympics.

Let's face it, if Argentina win there then Alvarez will have won everything there is to win. The only challenge left is to win something with Spurs. Plus he would be virtually guaranteed to start as the 9 in every game.

But recent comments by Pep and Alvarez could mean he's having second thoughts, so Plan B might yet come into play.

What is he not good at?

Finishing? Can do pretty much every finish you need. Great in the air.

Movement? Really good movement in behind and in the box. Gets on the end of the exact chances we ttry to create.

Hold up? Has all the tools and technicals

Passing? Decent passing CF. Not Kane but who is.

If his that good why didn’t we buy him two seasons ago instead of richi? Also if he is really the one he should have been signed up first day of the transfer window. After Werner’s loan was done days after season end like they couldn’t wait to announce it. Is solanki the game changer?

Honestly didn't realise until you laughed at it 🤣

You can check back my posts I've said Solanke is better option than Toney for a while.

I'm probably coming off more hyped up than I really am because Spurs fans really piss me off with shit reactions to a signing because it's not a sexy name. Just trying to persuade some to think rationally about it.

This is the kind of take I have on it.

Well I reckon young Will should be given a chance. Why not?
 
I’m actually enjoying the fact we aren’t doing our business out of the car window these days. And I wouldn’t be surprised if we are all surprised when a new name or two crops up.

Maybe we are waiting for other teams to do some business before we step it up? Seems to me that signings like Eze, Gallagher, Solanke, Toney are pretty simple and should have been completed by now. Makes me think that we need a domino to fall elsewhere first. Osimhen to PSG, clearing us to go for Ramos or Kolo Muani?
 
wont happen but if we actually could get alvarez the place would be buzzing. would be the biggest statement signing since klinsmann.

if we had CL football we might of had a slim chance.

We don't have CL, but we have the London, training facilities and stadium pull. If they wanted to get it done, I'd be surprised if he rejected it.

Never going to happen though as that'd show a bit of ambition, which isn't allowed here apparently.

Solanke would be the most dissapointing and worst transfers that I can remember. One decent season in 10 and anything north of £40m is insane.

Nah he's already won the CL...

... and the EPL, FA Cup, Club World Cup, Copa Libertadores, CONMEBOL-UEFA Cup of Champions, Uefa Supercup, Supercopa Argentina, Argentine Primera División, and Argentinian Cup...

... not to mention the Copa América and World Cup...

... but never the EUFA Europa League.

Clearly looking for a new challenge!
