Tottenham awaiting decision after making contact with Kyle Walker-Peters

Tottenham awaiting decision after making contact with Kyle Walker-Peters​

Transfer market expert Graeme Bailey has confirmed that Tottenham Hotspur are one of several clubs who have made contact over a move for an England international after his club’s relegation from the Premier League.

Free transfers always tend to be hotly contested, particularly if we are talking about a player who is proven at the highest level.

How's that for ambition.

Get your keyboard fingers ready to demand the next coach get fired by Xmas for not turning Walker-Peters into the next Trent.

Haha he’s alright to be fair, better than Davies as a squad player but players like this should be enablers to also spending £150M on two top first 11 players like Eze or Rice levels…. Those players never sign

Now, here in lies the issue.

Fans demand top performances, expecting us to be challenging for titles. Then on the other hand, suggesting a 17 year old Mikey Moore and a 20 year old Odobert play a 3rd of games. These kids won't be good enough for 4 or 5 years.

If Odobert won’t be ready until he’s 24/25 then he never will be. IMO he’s ready now and I’m hoping we’ll see this on Weds night.

Moore needs games against men to adjust as he grows. I’d loan him to a Championship team.

I am guessing we kept Moore at home because of his age. Yang and Donley might be the blueprint, they go on loan when they are a bit more mature as people ... 19 or 20 years old.

I think every single one of our defenders would be more comfortable in a back 3 with wing backs. Our current “full backs” especially, including KWP.

I’m normally a 4 at the back guy but think our current set up doesn’t play to any defenders strengths. Maybe Micky but it certainly doesn’t help his hamstrings.

I also think that 3 at the back suits our attackers and midfield decently as well. Our attacking players would do well in a more direct system which I think 3 at the back could facilitate.

3 at the back would suit us nicely. VdV would be an incredible LCB who can rampage and cause chaos against teams in a low block. I also think Spence, if he learns defensive discipline, could be a very handy RCB in the future as his pace is almost VdV'esque, and he is a formidable 1-on-1 defender. Just a shame Romero wants out as he is the perfect ball playing CB who could sit between the other two CBs and dictate play, and step up into midfield to win the ball with 2 CBs behind him (his role at Atalanta before we signed him).

So we’ve be got a chance! - 68M release clause but Palace may accept less.

Exclusive: Crystal Palace could accept 'low' Eberechi Eze offer as Man City swoop

Football Insider has learned that Crystal Palace could accept a bid of below Eberechi Eze's release clause this summer
www.footballinsider247.com www.footballinsider247.com

I guess we need two things to grab Eze:

1. Neither Chavs nor Arse are in for him
2. We will pay him the 200K in wages that he’ll demand - I'm skeptical on this but c’mon prove me wrong you bald cunt

3. We are in Champions League next year
4. We choose and somehow convince Glasner to come

I'm sceptical of it happening, many events would have to align in our favour to land him at this point I think.

I don't understand the links and discussion of Man City etc in here. We would be better focused on Brentford and Brighton, who ENIC have chosen to model us on and compete with after the Super League fell through.

Brighton are a mid table team. They are always a mid table team with a great business model to be a mid table team.

They buy a lot of players and sell some for big profits, then buy some more players, finish mid table again and the start the process again.

We can/must do better than following what Brighton are doing.

Rubbish.

Moore's break through season will probably be 2026/27 after becoming physically better developed during 2025/26 when he'll be playing in enough games to make a worthwhile contribution.

Odobert has already played a full season in French top League plus a season playing for Burnley in PL - he gave Spurs a bit of a hard time when we played them - so after 2 seasons of playing in top leagues is ready now. Only reason for not contributing much this season is injuries (after 2 injury free seasons playing).
