Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

The Independent saying Hazard cost Real Madrid an initial £89m rising to a potential £150m with add ons.

I guess that makes a sale of Eriksen to Real Madrid at say £80m rising to a potential £125m or similar structure that much easier for Levy to sell.
 
Let's be honest though, we really don't need 3 out of Son, Lucas and Lamela do we? If Fernandes has been earmarked as an Eriksen replacement as Nabil Bentaleb Nabil Bentaleb has stated he has the skills to be and Lo Celso comes in to offer more diversity instead of Lamela let's say that's shaping up to look very competitive.

It won't happen but if we could offer more diversity in attack with options such as Fernandes, Dele, Lo Celso, Lucas, Son & Kane then Pochettino really would be able to flex his tactical muscles with a variety of different plays and styles to keep the opposition guessing. I've got no idea how it'll all pan out but it's positive to hear that Fernandes could do an Eriksen type role for us as I don't think Lo Celso offers what Christian can in the volumes required for our style (should we wish to continue playing with the same philosophy)
I agree, but I doubt we'll get both. Sure is, Lamela doesn't really find himself a spot in our team currently, and should probably be moving to somewhere else. Pitty because I've always liked him, but it's no good for him to sit on the bench constantly at his age.

In the end it all comes down to what amount Poch will be given to spend and what competition we face in our transfers. The good thing is, the time where we were considered second choice next to the Cunts, ManUtd etc. are gone, so I'm positive we'll be able to get some good players aboard.
 
So from what I can gather from the last week's posts, the following are utter shit and should be shipped out:

Eriksen, Lamela, Dier, Winks, Trippier, Rose, Sissoko, Dele, Davinson, Wanyama, Llorente... Anyone else?

Oh yeah, Toby's gone, Jan's had it, Hugo's past it and there are question marks hanging over Harry's head.

Now god knows, I like a moan as much as the next man, but maybe, just maybe people are overreacting just a touch?

Does my head in the amount of lineups winks makes it into. Hes not better than Sissoko or Ndombele.

...............Kane
..Son....Lo Celso...Alli
...Ndombele..Sissoko

Thats a team.
Sissoko has been fantastic, but he is very limited to what he can do. He’s very good at running with the ball, breaking up play and just generally running. What he doesn’t offer though is passing, shooting and being able to control a midfield, which Winks can do.

Personally I’d have Winks in midfield over Sissoko alongside NDombele, but definitely keep Sissoko around. He’s a great asset to have in the squad.
 
Bruno Fernandes looks 🔥
Has an extremely good shot & strikes with confidence. His technical abilities seem to be quite good too.
Also he's taking great freekicks, something we completely lack, especially when Eriksen leaves.


Eriksen seems to have lost his ability with dead ball situations so a change there might be a good thing

Thats enough to get a start IMO. Theres plenty of shooters and dribblers in the team

I dont believe winks controls a midfield. Hes neat and tidy thats about it.
