I know he won't come cheap but I rather have Tyler Dibling over Muani - even if Dibling may cost more. True, he's still young at 19, and he may have been over-hyped, but he is worthy the risk I reckon. Maybe a swap deal involving Johnson + cash (well, I doubt that either Soton nor BJ would be keen though)-
Moore and Dibling could be Spurs' WF for 10+ years to come.
I thinik Muani is a good player but I don't think he is what Spurs need. Yes, he can play wide on both sides and as a CF, but he is mainly a WLF, which Spurs have plenty of right now, in Son, Yang, Werner, Odobert, Moore, Johnson, Solomon. Yes, Werner is on loan, Son is getting "old", Solomon is out on loan, and Yang, Moore and Moore are unproven...but they are still Spurs players and taking up places in the Spurs squad.

Fair enough. Hopefully we get to Muani ahead of you and Zirkzee ends up the one for you.
But tbh it sounds like Juve needs are big enough for you to offer bigger wages than Levy will want to.
If you’ve not got a greedy agent, you’ve got the wrong agent…Besides, I am sure he's got a greedy agent whispering something in his ear ...
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia transfer truth after Liverpool linked with move for winger
Liverpool is reportedly interested in bringing Napoli winger Khvicha Kvaratskhelia to Anfield, with the Georgia international also said to be on the radar of Paris Saint-Germainwww.liverpool.com
If Walke could still do a job as CB I'd take him for 1-2 seasons but I highly doubt he is. Besides, it looks like the wear and tear of the EPL has gotten to him; and he probably feels that so it's time to leave...

FFS, you've got to be taking the piss. Johnson plus cash for someone who has scored a mere 2 goals in men's football?
Go soak your head.
We’re still in the FA cup and Arsanal are not so it’s not all grim
In both cases, Juventus must disturb Vlahovic, not allowing him to have a free hand.
4 now, he got a brace today
Aruajo is one of the best CB in the world...when he's injury free. But Araujo is too injury prone, and he's just recovered from being out for 6 months due to an hamstring operation - and we know too well what happens to even strong hamstrings under Angelos. I think Barca regret not having sold him last summer before the latest injury, when Bayern were willing to pay €70m for him.
But Romero is also injury prone....

Barcelona will be without Ronald Araujo for the next four months, following the serious hamstring injury he suffered whilst playing for Uruguay at the Copa America. The defender will undergo surgery next week, before beginning the long road to recovery.
Araujo’s injury record since being promoted to the Barcelona first team in 2020 does not make for good reading. Diario AS note that he has suffered 16 different injuries over the last five years, missing 46 of the Catalans’ 213 competitive matches during that timeframe. That amounts to 21%, and that percentage will only increase over the next four months.

Ronald Araujo - Injury history
This is the injury history of Ronald Araujo from FC Barcelona. On this page injuries as well as suspensions.
You obviously know very little about football so save yourself. Stats are not only about goals.
Besides, he just scored 2 goals today which makes it 4 for an 18 years old; i.e. 4 goals in 21 games.
Muani has scored 8 goals in 36 games for PSG. Not much better, particularly considering he's playing for PSG.
Johnson cost the club a lot of money and he's still only 23, no chance the club would even consider offering him + cash for anyone.
Yawn.
Southampton would suck Levy off to swap a teenager with less than 5 men's football goals to Spurs for Brennan Johnson AND cash. The idea they wouldn't be keen is almost as preposterous as the idea we should do it.
It's not me that doesn't know football, my friend. You're delusional.
I think that's exactly what we doing, upgrading Richarlison. We absolutely still need those low block - dribbly guys - for either side (although Moore, Yang and Oddbod maybe help with that when fit and firing this season but I'd still like to add quality in the dribbly wide department) but I think the club sees RKM as a 9 who can genuinely rotate with Solanke without a drop off, but also do the Johnson/Werner thing occasionally but better, as he has speed of Johnson but can at least take players on and beat them 1v1 sometimes, where Johnson can't.

He's there for the money obviously. But you named him as a player that buying club didn't get value from. He was influential in Milan winning the league after leaving Atalanta.
Cheap insults when you're wrong are very boring, YAWN. You never back them up with anything of substance. Having a few cheap insults does not mean you know anything about football - it just shows how little you know
No chance of Johnson being a part payment of Dibling.
I think it more likely we offer Solomon (who is probably worth close to £10m) plus say £30m in payments which are performance related. Solomon could play for Southampton whether in PL or Championship, and probably scoring similar goals as Dibling atm.
Dibling has big potential but hasn't played a huge number of games - it maybe that Yang (also a RW) would be at a similar level to Dibling by end of this season - he has played much more than Dibling albeit in Korean league, so could have a similar development path as Bergvall this season which is to go from being a ub at start of season to being trusted to start matches.
The other issue is I think Spurs are looking more for a winger/striker (ie also to cover Solanke) and hence links to RKM and David, whereas Dibling is more of a winger ....

There's 0% chance any competent person in professional football would swap Brennan Johnson and cash for an 18 year old with 4 goals in senior football.
I am willing to give Johnson the whole season, and even keep him should Spurs be able to get Dibling, but so far Johnson has shown little to prove he's worth the $47,5 Spurs spent on him.
He can't even dribble past Tamworth defenders, he doesn't help much in defense and he can't tackle nor hold the ball up as he's not strong enough.
His pace and knack of finding goal scoring space is ideal for a counter attacking team.
It's not as if you speak for everyone.
He would already cost more than Johnson is worth right now.
Cole Palmer had 0 goals at that age and Foden had 1.

Martin, who was sacked following a 5-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, told reporters ahead of the game: “I was told some rumours about Man Utd, one was a bid of £21m. I'm not sure you'll get his left foot for that!
“We have offered him a contract, a really good contract for someone his age. At the minute, I don't think his agent agrees, so that's where we're at.
“I think Tyler wants it done, I think Tyler's parents want it done, so we'll see how long that takes.
“There is an option. We can extend. I don't think we want to do that - we want to reward Tyler for his performances.
“I've spoken to Tyler's mum and dad about it, I've spoken to Tyler, but then I'm not involved in any of the negotiations - that's down to Phil [Parsons, chief executive] and the gang, the owners and Tyler's agent - and that's where it gets tricky.”
