It looks like they made a typo error, and it's June 2021, not 2022
They could do; but they're broke and need reinforcements elsewhere. Getting Isak would also be an admission to fans that they can't get Haaland or Mbappe (Perez has promised one of those 2 to Real fans). Haaland has £70m release clause next year, Real may save up a bit this year so they can activate that next year.I still think Madrid could afford him and he plays really well every time he plays against them. Think they might go for him as a long term replacement for Benzema this summer, maybe loan him back to sociedad
Fair enough, it sounds like it was La Stampa's mistake, thenTorino hoping to convince Belotti to renew contract amidst Roma and Milan interest
Torino President Urbano Cairo is working to convince striker Andrea Belotti to pen a new contract at the club, with a view to a potential sale next summerforzaitalianfootball.com
Anyone is gonna be a downgrade, I don't mind getting Ings and another younger striker like Daka or Toney etc.Jesus lads we can't be replacing Kane with Ings or Toney. That would be a flat out downgrade. We need to get players like Daka in with massive potential.
No worries.Fair enough, it sounds like it was La Stampa's mistake, then
No worries.
Do you watch much Italian football btw? Belotti is good but at his age perhaps not the long term replacement needed.
Heard many good things about Vlahovic.
Not gonna lie, finally landing Depay and getting my Memphis Spurs shirt would be a measure of comfort.Think we would look at all of :-
Bamford
Ings
Depay
Daka
Toney
Dybala
Edouard
Abraham
Calvert-Lewin
O.Dembele
Watkins
and look to bring 2 in.
What about Leandro damiao?
Toney is 25 and has spent most of his career at a sub championship level. His goalscoring record is very impressive but we can't get back into this. This is like the signings we used to make with Darren Bent and Huddlestone etc.Anyone is gonna be a downgrade, I don't mind getting Ings and another younger striker like Daka or Toney etc.
Someone who can run fast.
I don’t want a plodder.
NopeHave we officially sent Vinicius back to Benfica yet?
Sorry to sayYoussef En-Nesyri - Player profile 22/23
Youssef En-Nesyri, 25, from Morocco ➤ Sevilla FC, since 2019 ➤ Centre-Forward ➤ Market value: €15.00m ➤ * Jun 1, 1997 in Fès, Moroccowww.transfermarkt.com
24 goals in 50 caps for Sevilla this season. Only 23.
Top quality right backTrying to do like for like will be a massive step down so we should change the approach.
In Son and Bergjwin we already have two "wingers" who are able to float across the front line. I think any striker we sign needs to be of this mould. Ings fits the bill of a striker who can do a job on the wing.
Properly coach movement and get plenty of rotation in there along with an aggressive press.
I don't think we should go for a classic number 9 unless it's a plan B a la Llorente/Wood/Big Vin.
So either we sign two wing/forwards e.g. Ings and Daka types or we go Ings plus Wood as a plan B.
Personally I think we have to be looking to sign two first teamers so I would go the first route and forget the plan B for now. We are not yet ready to rely on Bergjwin to start and Dele should be sold or used as rotation next season but they can be the back ups for now alongside Lucas and Bale.
I'm not too enthused on Bale but it could be worth keeping him around for one more season while we transition away from Kane and use him to put the shit teams to the sword but go for a high energy front line against the best teams. He's still good for 15 goals a season.
LlorisI think we need 3 new first team signings if Kane was to stay and 5 if he goes.
New RB - Toby - New CB - Reguilon
Skipp
Lo Celso -- New CM
Daka -- Ings -- Son
We really need to push the boat out and get a top quality RB and CB. A decent defence could transform us.
A new creative CM will be needed if we lose Kane's creativity. Ndombele is the enigma and doesn't seem to work with PEH and Lo Celso in a 3. I'm getting less confident by the day that he will deliver for us.
Skipp, Lo Celso and PEH isn't very creative but looks energetic and balanced and could make us more solid against the better sides.
If we get a decent manager in and are ruthless with our business this summer the picture could look a lot rosier come August. Football moves fast.
