Zvonomir Boban has been ousted by Gazidis at Milan.
Another potential name for the director of football/sporting director role?
RB, DM, ST.
Anything more than that and I'd be surprised or its a punt or it means we've sold someone for a lot of cash and need to replace them.
Am I the only one not totally convinced by Osimhen? certainly not at 50m anyway?
This came from the minutes of a meeting between Levy and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters’ Trust, which read as follows:
‘DL said there are lots of attacking players in the squad. The club was disappointed not to be able to bring in another striker but pleased they were able to bring in another attacking player in the recent window
-------------
Excuses excuses excuses. If the man at the top is that complacent we may as well give up
Having attacking players who occasionally score a goal is not the same as have 3 strikers who specialize in scoring. Fuck's sake
We just need to buy right.
There will be outgoings but not as many as some think.
He is very dangerous, but I am unable to tell what his ceiling is. Why are you not convinced?Am I the only one not totally convinced by Osimhen? certainly not at 50m anyway?
Yeah l lo Celso also absolutely must stayOnes I'd absolutely keep for next season: Kane, Son, Bergwijn. Lo Celso, Gedson. Lucas.
Ones I'm fine with staying but open to replacing: Lloris, Gazzaniga, Aurier, Sanchez, Davies, Winks, Dier, Ndombele, Sissoko, Dele, Lamela.
Ones we need to ship out: Walker-Peters, Rose, Vertonghen, Foyth.
Must have loans for Skipp & Parrott.
Only 6 players I think add a lot of value to the squad, 11 who are so so. Not great for a 25 man squad that's required to chip away at things 20/21
If offered Osimhen for 50m or Jonathan David for £25m, I think I'd rather David. Hard to know I'm only goin on snippets seen online of the latter.

Know nothing about David I'm afraid. But I think there's better value than Osimhan all over the place.
I like the look of Osimhen but if we have a budget we clearly will, we should be a little more artful. There's a fair few strikers with a year left of their contracts come the summer, I'd focus my attentions there.
Arkadiuz Milik, Kevin Volland etc

This one look is interesting. I'm sure we scouted him under Poch. 2021 contract end date:

The first has had 2 ACLs now(?) and wasn't the most dynamic or rounded player before that. And the second 'has a touch of the Janssens about him', if I'm allowed to paraphrase a previous assessment furnished to me. Volland is a smart player and a has/had some straight line pace but his mobility is not the best nor his physicality. This new injury, it seems, will keep him out the rest of the season.I like the look of Osimhen but if we have a budget we clearly will, we should be a little more artful.

But I don't think he's for us and I've watched him since the U21WC that Harry went to after his breakout season, then many games at Hoffenheim, and most of his games at Neverkusen. And I also don't think he's at a stage in his career where he'd want to make a lateral move and be faced with sitting behind 'one of our own'. And i don't think Bayer will let him go anyway. Alario will more likely be the TW casualty this summer...who I wouldn't mind as a backup and more fits the profile...and if while there you wanted to take Bailey (whose price will now be more reasonable) for our RAM/RW then we'd be on to something.
