He's too good to be on the bench and they have Kane.

He can do a job out wide but he's a striker ultimately. They also have great natural wide options.

I'm sure they'd love him to stay but I guess the player is pushing for game time.

Player apparently not happy at only playing about 10 appearances per season, and no doubt he's said that before this season. but not enough has changed so he's told Munich he wants out. No point in keeping an unhappy player once its got to that point.

By comparison Mikey Moore, aged 2 years younger has made about double those appearances this season for Spurs - so that's something in our favour.

But Tel is going to have a lot of clubs wanting him, so I doubt we are best placed club for him, we are just in the mix and we'll find out how highly he rates our offer of playing time, finances etc .

we are far weaker at both LW and RW than CF where we are relatively strong.

Gotta disagree if you think we are relatively strong at CF. We are weak in a number of positions but striker and RW are priorities at the moment. Also a LB and DM would be useful.

LW - Sonny, Richy, Mikey
CF - Richy, Sonny (Solanke injured)
RW - Kulu??? Mikey?? (Johnson, Odobert)

We need loans to get through this season and look to buy players in the summer.

A LB better than Udogie - a DM better than Bissouma or Bentancur - a RW better than Johnson or Odobert - a striker better than Solanke or Richy.

No elite player will come to us with the manager we have

Well, an elite player won't come to us for the simple reason that there are about 15 clubs that are more desirable in Europe that would probably be in for them. We could throw crazy money, but in a market where City/United/Real are willing to pay 500k a week to players, that is a dangerous game.

With the exception of Bale, we don't seem to be in the business of signing elite players who are in decline (Felix, Griezmann, Coutinho, Casimero, James).

Despite being rich and having huge turnover - we aren't a "big club". We are David Brent, swanning around a nightclub trying to impress birds by telling them about our Mustang parked outside and our luxury penthouse in Torquay. Meanwhile, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt are at the bar.

The funny thing is they all thought he was going to be the antidote to The Glaziers and got straight on board calling him "Sir Jim" like a bunch of sycophants..... Turns out shit got even worse. :roflmao:

Anyone who had paid attention to him knew it was coming. The fact only him and a fake sheikh who nobody knows if he exists were interested in buying into them speaks volumes as to how attractive they are. Mind you, same could be said of Levy, there doesn’t seem to be a queue of investors ready to jump into bed with them, but that’s hardly a surprise.

Amorim seems like a nice chap, he’ll get fed up with it eventually, especially as Rashford was always going to get forced back onto him. I keep seeing him linked with Barcelona but they have Raphinha in his spot so he won’t even get in the team there. I suspect really nobody is keen because of the wages. He’ll only be staying because he doesn’t fancy turning out for West Ham!

On paper yes but Richy can’t play more than 60mins atm and definitely not twice a week. Richy also likely to leave in the summer.
Sonny really shouldn’t play every week anymore and ideally Kulusevski is a central player if everyone is fit.

I think Tel is our starting CF for a lot of games before Solanke gets back and when he has back he could start LWF or RWF.

Plus he could get to play with his mate Wilson.

Not saying we get him but we definitely have a chance if playing time is what he wants.

Just watched a few videos of Tel.

They didn’t exactly make him shine. I’m less than excited.

He’s still not the finished article but he’s a forward who can legit play all 3 positions. Can shift it and shoot off either foot almost as well as Son, has elite level pace and really gets up to head the ball. Could be a real weapon in the press too. Puts in a mean cross from out wide on either side but by the time he puts on some muscle in his 20’s, he will be a #9 and honestly a #9 with a crazy ceiling.

We could use a more established player but he’s got the experience to contribute now so you have to go balls out if you have a chance at player like this.
 
If we do sign anyone this window it needs to be a senior / first team ready player suited to our system. A LB, CF and RWF being positions of priority.
