Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

To be fair to Levy, everyone on this forum cried for Levy to sign Ndombele, Lo Celso and Sessengon.

I didn't hear any of our web scouts say that Sess and Ndombele weren't ready to play at this level and Lo Celso is the 2nd coming of Winks.

FUCK. Reading that just reminded me that we let City sell Sancho to Dortmund rather than us despite holding all the cards re: selling them Walker that window.

That fucking slaphead, I swear.
Tbf they refused to let him come to us, Poch wanted Walker gone, and Walker wanted to go, City were the only ones prepared to pay the fee. We couldn't refuse not to sell because of Sancho.
 
Is it really great by Trent though? Averaging 11 per game and a 20 percent accuracy? That’s about 3 good crosses per game ...

Yes the volume is impressive. I'm a fan of crosses and their ability to create chances directly or indirectly, basically get the ball in the box and see what comes of it. The numbers are great and anybody who watches football knows that TTA delivers good crosses

You make a good point and 25 assists speak for themselves , and to think some people think crossing is overrated
 
For the record myself and a few others were distinctly meh about Sessegnon.

For about 18 months before we signed him I said that from what I'd seen, for a winger he was a decent defender, for a defender a decent winger.

Not seen a thing since then to alter that view

Yep fair point.

All 3 need to be better next time round if they remain. .

I thought Sessegnon would be better but he had an awful injury. Ndombele has been hugely disappointing and Lo Celso bitty. All have age and time on their hands but Mourinho is not going to feather them so it's a challenge.

We need 4/5 players. Mourinho will get rid of those he is unsure of to try and get those he believes are up to the job.

I have not been impressed by him but due to age I'm not writing him off just yet.

Problem is I don't really know what player he will become. Don't think he has the aggression/traits to be a great full back and don't think he is good enough to be a first XI winger for us. Might fall into the same boat as Dele is now; a talent in a specific role that the team is no longer utilising.
 
Looked up my posts. Said Sess looks a bit underwhelming in Jan 2019, said he wouldn't get minutes over Davies or Rose a couple months later. And then he signed.

even if Ndombele had worked out, i think most of us could still see the team was very weak at FB.

I’d say he’s a wingback that was suited to Pochettino’s pre-diamond tactics.
