I think this is more accurate with Deki, Dane and Jamie Donley added, since they are still our players, and Simons taken away because he is not going to be playing next season.Current Spurs 26/27:
ST: Solanke, Richarlison, Lankshear, Scarlett
RW: Kudus, Kulusevski
LW: Odobert, Tel, Moore
CAM: Maddison, Donley,Simons
CM: Gallagher, Bentancur, Sarr, Bergvall, Gray, Devine, Olusesi
CDM:
RB: Porro, Spence
LB: Udogie, Robertson, de Souza
RCB:Romero, Vuskovic, Danso, Dragusin, Phillips
LCB: Van de Ven, Senesi
GK:Vicario,Kinsky, Austin
I at least am feeling good about the bolded bits. Undeniable upgrade in depth from where we were before.
Looking forward to what comes from here- we need RW depth, a LW starter, and a CDM to help us hold the middle.
Funny thing is, we brought a lot of prem tested recently, and for the last 2 seasons, they have managed to get us finished 17th in the league, and have been the biggest ones to let us down.
PL tested, is just a myth, what matters if they fit the way the club/manager players, regardless if they PL tested or not.
Which players in our team can take on players?
Tel = Sometimes
Richarlison = No
Solanke = No
Maddison = No
Gallagher = No
Summerville would be a great signing.
These things cant and will.never be able to account for the team said players have around them.
Yeah I don't get it. One year left at Brighton, doesn't seem to want to extend, we should be all over it.

I've landed on it having to be a matter of wages.Can’t for the life of me understand why Barcelona would want Anthony Gordon over Rashford.

Think the relationship with United is too broken at this point. Can't see him going back tbh.Gut feeling...
He went out on loan because Amorim was shit and boring. He had a good time in Spain and got his groove back.
Now he wants to go back to play for United.
I get that but I also think that we cannot afford to wait as long as that could possibly take. De Zerbi said after the last game that the building of the new team has to start immediately.It's probably just some twitter guff and won't happen but just don't see why we'd be making signings or going in for players like this before we even confirm a new DoF.
I can get us pushing through Robertson and Senesi to a degree - experienced older players on free transfers we've spent a long time working on that might fuck off elsewhere if we don't push them through quick. Like whatever happens this summer we do need depth at LB, LCB and some more experienced heads in the squad, so you can kinda justify getting the deals done. They're not ones for the future - they're cover/depth for a couple seasons.
But imo we shouldn't do a single other deal until we've got a new DoF confirmed who is working with De Zerbi and coming up with a coherent long term plan and transfer strategy.
That's probably the best explanation actually, especially if the club feel like it might take a few months to get the new DoF in the door. We've seen in the past how those deals can take time with guys needing to give notice or whatever.I get that but I also think that we cannot afford to wait as long as that could possibly take.

I would assume that Roberto is involved with all transfer work this summer. And when Lange gets canned for a replacement Roberto serves as the bridge between the two directors.

Anyone remember Dibling hype?
IIRCShadydan was captain of the Dibling cheerleading team.
Bigger flop than Gift Orban

We should've really been lining someone up well in advance. I suppose we did with Kehl but that's gone suspiciously quiet. Maybe second thoughts over that deal? And it's gonna take a while to line up an alternative?
