Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I don't know why youre bringing Brandt into this when Julian Brandt is the same age and has scored less than Dele in an inferior league, and scored less in arguably a better national side. I doubt he's offered more defensively either.
Claiming you could pick holes in any of his games means fuck all. You could do the same with virtually any player. Some dicks are digging out Messi for he anfield fuck up.
Get a grip and stop creating a daft narrative about one of our best young players, it makes you sound like a twat.
Thanks for that. I see you are one that is blinded by shiny objects. I will definitely take your criticism on-board. :pocheyes:
 
Would be the most exciting signing since Van der Vaart in 2010.

I agree. This is the most excited I have been for getting a player in for a long time. Last summer I was really only excited about Grealish because I was like a junkie needing to shoot pretty much anything into my veins and had no idea where our real weaknesses lay.

Now I know life goes on even if we don't make a signing, I can be a little more discriminate. Lo Celso or Fernandes would be a coup but Ndombele would be a statement of intent by the club.

What is interesting is that it seems to be all about ManUre and us. Probably the two most desperate set of fans for new signings and the media know it.
 
Here’s the signing we are all waiting for: Griezmann to Spurs...

TOTTENHAM: Atletico Madrid forward Antoine Griezmann
Tottenham are at crucial stage in their development as a club with ambitions to become a Champions League powerhouse.
Their new stadium is finally open and they have just participated in their first Champions League final. But with doubts over the future of manager Mauricio Pochettino and key players such as Christian Eriksenand Toby Alderweireld, Spurs really need to show they mean business by landing a world-class player.
It is now 18 months since Lucas Moura was signed, the most recent player to do so with the club, but Spurs have the opportunity to make a statement by swooping for Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann. The France international would be an upgrade on Eriksen if the Dane was to leave and would also show the likes of Harry Kane, Dele Alli and Son Heung-min that Spurs intend to challenge the biggest clubs for the top trophies and best players.
Barcelona are still the favourites to sign Griezmann, but the lure of London and the Premier League could turn the 28-yearr-old's head. On the pitch, Griezmann would be a major plus for Spurs, but off it, his arrival at the club would be a game-changer in how they are perceived.

Now that's a marquee signing. Of course its just Soccernet idea of a crazy-ass transfer. Don't think it will ever happen, but my heart leaps at the idea of him at our club!
 
I get what todd1882 todd1882 is saying with Alli, (although the "one step ahead of Sissoko" was harsh) but also understand the incredulity of some at a criticism of his technical ability. The truth is he is cabable of moments of supreme technical quality, the problem is, they are interspersed with a shit load of poor first touches, bumbling, wastage - brought about by technical failings or bad decision making.

And after three years of constant high level coaching, PL and CL football, you would expect the ratio of good/bad to have shifted heavily toward the good, not just in better touch and less bumbling away possession but in terms of decision making - ie when to try the highly improbable and when to just put your foot on it and play someone in a better position in - and toward the end of last season I thought it had, but the balance of this season would suggest not.

I think one of the problems may be that Poch has heavily indulged him, never really given him the kick up the arse he needed, when he really needed it, he's been allowed to churn out some really poor performances constantly at various times in his three years with us, without facing the bench for a week or two like others would.

Before we signed him, I watched him for MK a few times and questioned where he'd play for a top4 PL side as he lacked the dynamism to play in a CM2 which we played entirely back then, and the true technical ability to play as a ACM. The truth is Poch has shoehorned formats around to accommodate him and Eriksen into the same side at times and it's not always worked, the CL final being a great example.
Agree with your points. Every players play to the best of their ability and can't fault Dele if he puts a shift. Problem is Poch's obsession to play him at the expense of better or more in-form players.
 
Starting to think the N’dombele stuff was bullshit, hasn’t been any movement since before the CL final. Don’t see why we would be waiting now, a big signing is exactly the lift we need after our performance.
