Been heavily linked to Brighton recently iirc. Gallagher alternative? Good player though, quite like him and Amir Richardson. We are missing a left sided central midfielder.
But we also have bentancur and skipp too , aren't we fully stacked in mid
In terms of incomings and links so far this has to be one of the most underwhelming windows to date which is obviously up against some pretty stiff competition.
Done alright on the outs and like the rumours on Solomon, Skipp and Richarlison moving but we seem to be lacking some serious ambition and/or imagination.

Moore is a very good (still not quite) 17 year old who has made 1 cameo experience in competitive senior football.
I have high hopes, and the contract is good news.
It's 60/40 whether he makes it. Being a top level footballer is an exceedingly high bar that almost all fail to reach.
In 9 prem lge seasons Kane averaged 23 per season in the prem lge .
Enough said.
He plays better on loan so that could be some 5D chess move
Loan with the oblioption to buy
Being linked with doesn't mean shit. There are countless experiences with us being linked with top players only to end up with dross, discounted alternatives. We are a club that consistently ends up signing players that do not match the quality of what we are linked with nor need. I can give you tens of examples.
The milk went sour with talk of us building a new stadium to finance ambitious signings long ago. If you're the kind to think prioritising three 18 year olds and panic buying Solanke in August is that, then good luck, drink it in - according to sky news as of writing this, official talks haven't even begun contrary to a lot of what has been posted on here.
Do you think a became a spurs fan in 2018, fell into a coma and then woke up last week? You're still arguing with a ghost. Because you dodged my original question you continue to assume I'm talking about whether we spend on principle as opposed to what we spend on. I'll quote you for a 3rd time on the sole point I have been trying to make: you questioned concern that we'll get "couple of quality" signings. I only used 2018 as an example that this club is more than capable of incompetence with signing quality to the comedic extreme of not buying anyone at all but you were too triggered by a four digit number to allow that to transpire and immediately went into "net spend" mode. To entertain your 2018 obsession, no, you'll not have me believe that Spurs are the only club to build a new stadium in the history of football so that justifies not spending a penny on the squad. You seem to love mentioning "evidence" so I think you'll find we actually set a precedent (at least in the EPL). It's poor financial planning at best. Regardless, I not trying to get bogged down in a financial debate about something that happened 6 years ago.
For someone who thinks I'm caught up on 2018, you haven't moved your argument past this date even after repeatedly being told that that wasn't even the original point.
TBF, it's the same story across the PL. Liverpool have signed no one. City have bought Savinho for €25M.
Only 2 deals have been struck north of €50M, Yoro to United for €62M (lol) and Onana to Villa for €59m.
Next down is Calafiori to woolwich for €45M (double lol).
If we sign Solanke this week it will be the most expensive PL transfer of the summer, and arguably the best. If we sign Eze this month, it would definitely be both of those.
We're not alone, it's been a slow summer for transfers. Including the Olympics, there have been 3 international tournaments this summer....it was always going to be a slow one.
Don't we still have a sell on clause with Marcus Edwards?
Use that as bargaining send them Reguilon & Celso
Welcome Gyokeres

A club of spurs wealth, should not need to sell.richy to fund solanke.
Dragging our heels a little as per usual.
For once I'd like to see some signings made and ready for action for the start of the season, this last minute stuff isn't great, the new players need time to settle.

Can't understand why we have waited all summer to move for solanke. I bet even Ange is thinking wtf is going on here but obviously cannot say a thing. All that's happening is players going or being linked away.
Yep. It’s the worst I can remember since 2019 perhaps. Every link underwhelming.
Make our season? We should be able to fund Solanke anyway, we’ve barely spent anything this window.
Selling Richarlison should fund Eze on top of Solanke already.
Bournemouth fans on Solanke and Tottenham move in case you want their views on it

. I know that you’re typically on top of squad management news.
How many non-HG /HG slots do we currently have filled /open?
I know we’re looking to move on players but what’s the current state?
