Transfers Summer 2019 transfer thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Article claims Atlético wanted to go after Semedo but the Griezmann saga hindered any negotiations, so Trippier is their plan B.

I wonder if we would/could go after Semedo then

 
Fringe Argentine forward, got a one goal in six record for them. Not nearly good enough for us

I think that's a little harsh on him.

130 league apps, 20 goals, 18 assists.
That's 65 apps off the bench, 48 times subbed off. Has played 90 minutes merely 17 times.

A goal every 317 mins, so a goal every 3 and a half games is perhaps a more honest figure.
For comparison sake, Eriksen has a goal every 352 mins in the Prem.

Disclaimer - I'm not saying he's better than Eriksen, Just stats are stats, and they can be manipulated in favour of anything.

Poch likes his fellow countrymen so wouldn't put it past him to view Correa in perhaps a more flattering light.

The difference is that he plays as a mediapunta or no 10, sometimes as the striker, not as a playmaker. If he has played 90 minutes only 17 times it's because he isn't good enough
 
The only thing is, if nobody is buying him at this cheap price, why are they going to buy him at a higher price?

Or indeed at significantly higher wages...

The lack of interest in him even at £25m is baffling.

The financial ramifications upon him from not renewing 2 years ago aside, fuck knows what you're thinking if you're TA. Even if he runs his deal down now it seems a stretch to assume anyone will give him mega wages on a free next summer.

At this stage, if I'm him, if I could get 3 years at 100kpw here I'd sign that deal in a flash then have a 2/3 year swansong at Ajax on a free.

It's his wages that are the problem.
This should cause him to rethink things, he's not worth the wages he thought he was.
