Summer 2018 transfer window

[1882]

Have we signed anyone yet???

 

[TDub]

de Ligt, Ndombele, Bailey

gimme

Those three would make a perfect window to me. Would like Sanson too if we lose Dembele so we can get rid of Sissoko.

My sources tell me wendy the tea lady is close to signing. She is wavering due to levy insisting she provides the tea bags & milk, & hires the mugs & kettle from him.
She also has to sew AIA on the front of her apron in her own time.
Will bring further updates when talks reach boiling point.

Not bad as a backup striker? I mean, why not? Everyone else has flopped, so maybe a change of tack?

Rondon has ability. I've only ever seen him play pretty well... He could play for Spurs but as a 3rd striker. We need another top level option in case Harry's injured I reckon.

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Rondon is decent but we already saw that buy strikers in that mold is just waste money. Unless we seriously have a system with two strikers used regularly we shouldn’t buy a proper number nine. Son and a kid like Griffiths it’s fine. We should invest on the midfield. And heavily.

 

[Totti]

Buying a striker who isn't going to play is a waste of money.

Poch is not dropping Kane.

de Ligt, Ndombele, Bailey

We need to sign a decent striker to Help Kane, we are in Four competitions long season after world cup and new stadium with a trophy would be perfect. Unfortunately, players do get injured.

 

[SpiderSpurs]

A few years back on another forum, far, far away, I championed the signing of Rondon. I think that might have added to the reasons why I was deleted that time.

 

[Totti]

I disagree.

We looked perfectly fine without Kane.

Willing to bet if we played Llorente away at Stamford Bridge we probably wouldn't have won.

Nothing wrong with Son playing up there or even Lamela as a false nine. But then we need anther winger to come in. Which is probably why we are linked with them.

Laugh at Woolwich for signing the likes of Leichsteiner and Fellaini yet we are after Shaqiri and Rondon ffs.

 

[Totti]

Now this I can get behind.

Though I imagine he's a star man under Silva.

 

[TomHotspur]

The striker situation is why I think Martial could well be the absolutely perfect signing. As many have said signing an out and out striker good enough to challenge Kane is neigh on impossible. Martial however would be ideal, he's good enough to claim a starting place on the wing, whilst also very adept at playing number 9 if so required. I know its probably never going to happen, but it would just tick so many boxes.

Too expensive for us.

I have heard exactly 0 words about Shaqiri from Poch mouth. I am fairly confident, that he is not fan of Shaq, as the skillset nor mentality nor consistency (btw, you point out how inconsistent Lamela and Son is, but you totally ignore the fact that Shaq has even worse case of incosistency on himself!) of the player does not make him likely target to me. I believe it is just agent trying to get attention on him. I might be wrong ofc, and I do not claim to have any inside info, just basing this on my own judgement.

Sentence "Well if Poch wants him, you must have some major issues with the managers competence." is absurdly stupid. I mean, we can all agree that there have been some transfers that have failed badly (Llorente, N'Koudou, Janssen). Yet I agree that on aggregated level we have done well to put together team of this standard for the amount we have done it for. ABSOLUTELY NONE of this means that I have issues with manager competence - with this strategy you are bound to make mistakes, and saying that one player is a flop or that I believe specific player would be pointless addition does not mean saying that the gaffer is not competent, baffles me how someone could suggest it is...

Whatever mate, the fact is I’ll back whoever we sign unconditionallly.

Will you

For the right wages I'd take Yaya Toure on. He's won the champions league, the Spanish league, the premier league and fuck knows how many cups. He likely knows he wouldn't be first choice here but could offer great depth and be someone that other players could learn from. Dare I say he could be an Edgar David's type signing?

Money wouldn't be a problem. Manure refusing to do business is the problem.

Yeah, he really fits the profile of a Poch signing. Mid thirties, bit of a twst, lazy and with a history of making false accusations of racism. It would be like signing SchmoodSpur

hmm. I think he would want a wage that would make him our top earner.
