Transfers Summer 2020 Transfer Thread

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

In a perfect scenario, we get a few key positions sorted early, but that's not going to happen. So i'll settle for just the key positions filled and a couple of players moved on.
 
Florentino on loan would be awesome. Especially if it’s in addition to Hojbjerg. Then we could absolutely sell Sissoko. If that is true we would truly be idiotic not to try and lure him over.
 
Yes but can you see Jose putting up with Levy's tricks because history shows he won't.
Poch was easier for levy to handle because he was grateful for the chance to work at spurs after being at previous clubs, Jose doesn't need to prove himself with his CV other than not wanting to end his career on a blank.
I think he will because he wants to stay in the job, he's been very diplomatic with the board so far.
 
Gedson is a weird case. Has flashed a bit of skill a couple of times, but largely ineffective - if that even makes sense.

Regardless, just don't see him getting action on this squad.

Dele, to me, is the biggest question. Undeniable skill. Still quite young. Home grown. But really seems to have take a step back. (some due to injury, to be fair) Can Jose unlock him and regain his prior form? Where does he fit in the lineup? Or should we look to sell him? As a young, talented, home grown player, what is he valued at?

Going to be a weird window. (per usual!)
 
If Jose had Hojbjerg and Florentino as his CMs we'd be the most annoying team to play against. We'd be so improved defensively. And Kane/Son/Bergwijn/Gio counter has potential to be lethal.

I heard Leeds were after Florentino?

What a signing that would be - do wonder if it could potentially mean Phillips is off though.
 
For Heaven's sake Airfixx Airfixx we record year on year profits despite what we spend in the transfer market.

If we record £100million profit, and spend £100million on players, we still made a fucking profit of £100milion.

Profit is Profit. It's the excess dough a business makes after all expenditure.


Stupid Boy

And profit is not the same as free cash flow or cash flow to equity, which are more relevant to this discussion, if you want to get more nerdy.

Gedson was just a stop gap, we'll probably keep him for his full loan period to get our 2 million worth.

Gedson is in a similar situation to Ndombele, where he needs a DM next to/behind him to really be able to operate to his fullest.

So the idea of "sending him back for Florentino" is a bit silly. Get Florentino and Hojbjerg in and Gedson will be able to provide more.
 
Good point.
Spurs fans must be hoping Fulham don't get promoted because the way I read it Skipp wants a Champ loan to a decent team where he is more or less guaranteed to start regularly.
If Fulham get promoted they will be getting bashed up nearly every week and I don't think that will help Skipp-same as it didn't help Sessegnon.

Also, imv theRe is more advantage To us of our players getting experience playing for an upper Championship team than a relegation dogfight in the prem.
 
30 games? No chance unless Harry gets injured and even if that happens like it has in the last few seasons he tends to miss 10-15 games

Wilson's best chance to go to the euros is to play 90 mins every week
He'll get all the games in the Europa group stage, Carabao Cup and FA Cup games, and it actually gives us a chance to rest Harry when we have games coming thick and fast.

The reason Harry gets injured is because we play him every minute of every game. Don't forget Harry could also make a superb number 10 meaning we could play both.

Id like to see us play with Harry as a 10 but is that what Jose wants. Also as we have seen Harry will play every minute of every PL game, I don't think there will be a Carabao cup next season and the FA cup is what 6 games until the final, no replays next season. So realistically Wilson will have to make do with 6 EL group games (Jose will select Harry for the knock out stage) and a few FA cup games.

Look if he is happy with that prospect then I'd be happy if we sign him. I just think at his age and stage of career he will want more, much more
