No set of midfielders we have at the present time is good enough.

I wonder how many here would rather sign Tel for 30 million with all his ‘potential ‘ or take Harry Wilson on a free?
The chances are that Tel’s potential will be realized after he leaves Tottenham if at all. I’ll take someone with Wilson’s goal contributions right now.

Kudus hasn't got a strong football brain. Savinho, we will see.
But he had a purple patch when hes contract was due up!
Coventry would sign harry wilson unless we are competing with them then no
Before this season most fulham fans would have been meh on signing a new contract. A good season when his contracts due up shouodnt drive purchasesPeople are making out like Wilson is a scrub, he's a good player but people aint liking it because it's not a fancy extravagant sexy name.
Harelio Wilsenio from Argentina
This fanbase: Sign him Lange!!
Harry Wilson is relitavism incarnate. He is a solid decent mid level EPL player we'd never have noticed. But between Ange Frank Lange we have been crushed by the weight of the completely crap recruitment. Randal kolo Muani deceased, Brennan Johnson baby powder, Matthias Tel me lies. So watching Wilson be competent when we were 2pts from being relegated we lost all perspective.
But we stayed up and the onus has to be on bringing in Oshimen, Locatelli, Kroupi level players however unrealistic because we don't want to be Fulham we need to get back to being Spurs. People are really settling its quite sad.
We need to stop wasting money on shite.
If Marmoush is 80mil, fuck it, go for it. In the long run we better off doing that than spunking 40ish on the Brazilian Tel.
Every decent club had the opportunity... He was at Reading
I think fitness has been an issue with him.
Having said that, he puts up decent numbers for a ‘winger’ every year - including a really good year last year and a monster year in the Championship when they got promoted.
Given that we’re not going to spend 60 million on each position across the FWD line and a central midfielder, he’s quite an astute cover signing. Home-grown too. We ARE going to have a log jam when players come back from injury. — and we still have to sell guys like Solomon too— but that’s a Can. I’ll happily kick down the road if we get some production now.
Which seasons goal contributions? Are we going to assume he recreates his one exceptional season?
Oblak/Sommer
Robbo
Senesi
Van Hecke
Wharton/Locatelli
MGW
Wilson
Marmoush
Osimhen
Probably not many, but it's just a hypothetical and not a real option.
First, the $30M is already spent on Tel. It shouldn't be used to justify whether future deals make sense.
Second, even if there was an option to redo Tel's deal today, the correct answer can still be to say no to both. There's no reason to assume they have to sign one vs the other.
TLDR- I don't understand the reason behind comparing them this way.
His numbers across all minutes played in the EPL are very decent for a winger.
They are far better than Tel or Savinho who will cost us 80 million between them which is 80 million more than Wilson’s transfer fee.
I don’t know how many more players Spurs intend to bring in but we’re not spending 60 million at four positions (3 FW + 1 CM) plus 50m on a new CB regardless. If you expect top level replacements at each of these positions, then you’re going to be mighty disappointed. I think we’ll end up going with what we have with one or more of those positions but Wilson is a viable alternative / serviceable option.
What a player he was. Pure goalscorer, his instincts were unreal.
De Zerbi’s system can maximize the things he does well.
We will see. I hope you are proven right.
LOL, I like the "JUST IN" part.
I mean, what makes such info fall under the "breaking news" to use such click-bate language??????
Fans, those who always follow, are constantly watching news about NEW signings and transfers, the here we go" stuff. This post is "Here we go: THFC rejected Olisie 100 years ago because blah blah blah" ... LOOOL
Basically recycling of previous goalkeeper rumours. I hope De Zerbi is ready to keep Kinsky as 1st choice next season as well...
