You know... I saw a couple of vids that made him look like a slow version of Winks, but this is much better.

I'm not impressed, just not completely underwhelmed. I'd take someone able to tackle and beat players over a non-playing Tanguy.


Bunch of full 90's from him here if anybody is interested. Skimmed through a few last night, he's looked a decent player at times to be fair, not sure what the deal is at Fiorentina. Don't think he'd be a disastrous loan, can't see him offering any less than Lo Celso has, but they share a tendency to inexplicably fall over when attempting to play a long cross-field ball. You'd have to be worried that he's barely getting a game for a side without standout midfielders, though the same can be said for Gio and Ndombele who could go on to do well elsewhere.

Obviously a staggering lack of ambition from the club to not have something better than this lined up to replace three players we were hypothetically dependent on for creativity.
 
Ive no idea how genuine our interest.

But, imagine this.

We must get rid of Ndom, GLC and Dele asap as they are hoovering up cash, not playing, not good enough and paralysing our spending ability.

The opportunity is there now to get rid of those three but not to sign your ideal replacement(s)…so what do you do? Get in a temp body(s) until the summer when you can get your targets or say no fuck it, lets fuck the whole thing up…

The most important thing is getting rid of those three or as many of them as poss…
Play White? Devine?

I'd rather see a youth teamer who has been doing well there get a shot than a "meh" journeyman come in from the reserves of a mid-table side in a weaker league just to play the role of extra bod # 17.

There's more upside to that surely, either they gain experience and develop for us, or the exposure adds a zero or two onto the fee we eventually get from selling them.
 


Deadline Day: Daniel is sitting in his office pondering that he's forgotten something, just can't remember what.

Meanwhile it is raining in the Midlands and Adama is sitting at the bus-stop waiting... and waiting... and waiting.

No one else is interested, the deal has been on the table all month. Those clubs that regularly beat us to trophies would have him signed already.
 
So, trying to be reasonable.

Presumably Paratici is all in for Kessie in the Summer. We’re flogging Ndombele and GLC and this Fiorentina lad is a temporary six month loan. He may not even play, basically cover for PEH and Winks who look like nailed on starters for the rest of the season.

I imagine his wage is minimal.
 
Maybe spurs should set up a transfer targets version of big brother?
Get all the ones we want that we actually have a chance of signing.
Put them in the big brother house and let us on here vote one out everyday.
The last 3 left are who we sign. Or last one ,depending on how generous Daniel is feeling...

Mightn't even be Kessie, imagine when Summer comes around there'll be bigger clubs than us willing to offer him the wage he wants. CL and Conte might give us a shot.

Idea is probably get in the likes of an Ambrabat until the summer to keep the thing ticking over, hope to move on Gio, Ndom and Dele on permanent transfers, and then you spend your thirty-something million on the marquee midfield signing, Mckennie or whoever. At a stage now where I really do not have much faith in this Paratici - Conte - Levy thing going well.. don't think we'll bring in the level of player that will allow us to compete at a level he's satisfied with.
 
I don’t give a toss what alasdair say anymore. “Spurs can’t spend” “covid” “hard to get deals in January” “spurs have to move x and y first”
Boring shite
If that's the truth....as depressing as it is....that's the truth. You cant just put your head in the sand because you don't like the facts. Fair enough if you don't believe Gold but pointless berating what he says just because it doesn't suit what you desire
 
You also thought Jack Clarke was the dog's bollocks though, so there's a good chance that is worth little...
Difference being I actually watched Clarke live but yeah, I’m not claiming to have any expertise (Though anyone watching that game between Derby and Leeds would’ve been impressed with him). Just think that this guy at least looks agile, tenacious and concertante in the ball in the few comps available, whereas Kessie looks a bit of a lumbering donkey.
