Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Well, whats clear is that if we are not going to sign Llorente for another year; we need to get a target man who can win long balls, hold them up and put a header in the back of the net. Plan B executed perfectly.

Any thoughts on who could be available?
Bas Dost? A few years younger than Llorente and basically the quintessential target forward. 22 goals this season in all comps for Sporting.

I would seriously look at Kalifa Coulibaly at Nantes, could get him really cheap. Weghorst better player (Wolfsburg) but probably at least 30-40 £m.
 
The ultimate TFC paradox mate........"support the players!!!"

Just replace them in the summer though. My question to the masses:

Is the back up still shit?

Support the players yes but surely every team has some room for improvement. Let's take full advantage of this amazing period we are going through. How long have we waited for times like these

One or two additions and we might do the PL and CL double next season. :pochsmirk:
 
Support the players while they play for the club, don't slag them off and call them shit. Respectfully move them on and look for improvements if they don't cut it

Hahahahahahahahahaha

So last summer they didnt play for the club?

LoooooooL

Respectful? Hows the respect to Trippier and Dier? How was the respect for Sissoko....fucking do gooders are so far up your arses you cant see your own behaviour.

At least I can stand for my views....yeah I said Dele and Eriksen were playing shit. Was I wrong though?
People claiming we are the CL semis with a champo RB....deluded beyond belief

Of course there is room for improvement.......but its a bit rich people claiming they are supporting the players when they are also claiming they are shite and the chairman has let the club down by not selling them.
 
Post match with Hoddle interesting

Hoddle "the money's there, Pochettino has chosen not to spend it"

Lineker" I'm not sure about that "

Hoddle pointing up "no, I know its there"

Lends credence to the talks about Levy having deals ready last summer and in January but Poch saying no (Tielemans) and Levy chosing not to force a player on him.

Truth probably somewhere in the middle. We had money, we had players scouted. But maybe not enough to get priority A over the line so we opted to tough it out (why Poch haven't used that to bed in a few youngsters is on him tho).

Will be an interesting summer.

So now Hoddle after Redknapp said in January “I know for a fact Pochettino didn’t want any players”.

Two people with zero reason to lie and protect Levy.

But hey, people online read between the lines. I wonder how this will sit with the fanbase that has persecuted the owners over this.
When all along it was Pochs “mistake”.....

New mantra.....”last summer was a brilliant window well done Pochy!!”

Oh dear

Alan Sugar said the same this morning. He is close to Levy and the board so will have the inside knowledge. Basically Poch wants to bring in the right players, not any random cunt

Completely.

We need to improve the squad but what the players showed is that quality is there, albeit in a frenetic fashion last night.

What cannot be in doubt is the leverage the club has at present.

More millions to come in every regard from now getting to the final, a place in the thing nearly secured for next season and so it is now for Levy to do the right thing.

The last 51 minutes from the start of the 2nd half has changed the dial but we cannot lose more than 1 game in 3 in the PL and fail to see the problems.

Could that be Poch's "Be brave" statement? He knows there is a limit on spending each window and chose to ringfence last year's spending and add it to this year to bring in a better quality of player?

If so, it could be good.
