I do think there is a good chance Levy declines “low” bids for Romero now. Romero has less ability to demand a move now that we suddenly have CL ball again (a miracle).
Lets go and twat Man Utd twice in one night and get Cunha.. Champions League football and trophies are calling big fella.
Great calls.
You cannot sell your best players, keeping Romero is a must.
Lookman , meh, better out there.
Ederson, always looks the part, would like him here.
Mbuemo, easy decision , go get him.
Cunha, can pinch him from utd, reminds me of Mousa Dembele, scores for fun and Premiership proven.
Eze, CL football should be enough draw
I'd go one better and get gyokeres now surely we are a bigger pull then Woolwich now
Yep, now we've got the money to make Werner's loan move permanent
Tonight has been a great night, winning our first european trophy for 41 years is obviously a fantastic moment for Spurs
- Its not so much the money this summer, its ALL about the players prepared to sign for a CL playing side next season. and that's because the wages/bonuses are so much higher than playing for clubs who 'only' play PL or PL plus EL/conference League next season. So that's a huge upside for us, although some players will not join us and prefer other clubs. C'est la vie
- The money is we go deep in CL next season can be almost transformative as its up to 100m (ish) more than PL alone. Maybe only 2 top class players extra but its still a big advantage
Who to buy this summer ....... totally depends upon who the manager and formation is. Glasner (CP) and his 343 style means different acquisitions than a manager (such as Ange) playing a 433 style
But whichever I think we need either one or two (for 433) forwards maybe Jonathan David as CF (can play RW or LW) and a 'narrow winger'/inside forward if playing 343, a wide winger if playing 433 (assuming Tel is either not that man or bought)
Other players depend on playing style and whether Romero wants to move on or not.
Key to our success going forward ...... is to enlarge our squad for european matches which means integrating our youngsters - options include at CB Philips and Vuskovic, CAM Donley, CM/AM Devine, DM/FB Abbott. so 2/3/4 of those plus Moore and Scarlett/Lankshear ....... key thing is game time for the youngsters.
If we do that then we are well positioned for next couple of seasons .... with of course other transfer windows.
But the key thing now is ............... its all in our own hands for the first time in a few years.

Whoever the manager is next season, he'll want to change few players.
It will depend upon who is available who plays in the position the manager wants - but its about bringing bringing in a small number (3/4/max 5) quality players to upgrade players we have already ...... and to enlarge the squad bringing through some of our youngsters, especially those who qualify as List B (so do NOT take up a squad place) next season (eg Devine, Donley, Philips, Abbott - 2/3/4 is great). Its NOT about wholesale change and buying big numbers of players

To whatever extent; we saved our necks tonight..... Him upstairs better not fuck this up.
Its about buying the 'right' players - no repeat of 2019 (Ndomble, Lo Celso, Sessegnon) which was a Poch/Hitchen inspired (or not) window.
Four players who mainly play from the wing
I agree with the theory but not the examples. Those are exactly the type of risks we should keep taking, Ndombele and Lo Celso are completely understandable gambles IMO, similar to Modric being a gamble (you may remember a much more successful Wenger decided not to take the gamble on him). Some will work, some won't but I'd rather we gamble on clearly talented, technically elite footballers (even this season Lo Celso has the second highest XA90 of all midfielders in Europe) than gamble on footballers that clearly aren't.
I agree the logic.
But both Ndomble (lazy most of the time) and Lo Celso (not great physicality for PL and determination not to miss an Argentina match = not trying hard for Spurs) is a different gamble to Modric where the physically weak looking Modric was not fancied by Wenger who didn't see his tree trunk sized thighs which meant he couldn't be knocked down yet had great technique .... and hence playing at almost age 40.
Wenger needed Specsavers.
Great post- I very much am sold on Glasner now- he even got CP to overperform in the league too. I still like Silva as well.
I think, unfortunately, we'll end up with Ange again though.
Mbuemo, Eze, Delap & Ricci
We absolutely have to take advantage of this now. Even Ange said in his post match interview that we need to buy "experience".
Target Eze, target Mbuemo, hell make a play on Cunha if needs be. These are the type of players we need to be targetting.

Romero is a big game player. I told you but you didn’t want to listen.
Let’s hope we keep him this summer
