I don´t really believe in that. I think we are going to raise funds, yes; some players will be leaving. But we do have some money to spend anyway - limited money, but some.
Exactly. It´s not my opinion about him as a player. I´m just pointing that, the way we do business, it doesn´t really make sense to sell a "first team" player and then buying two new RB´s - most likely from outside the Premier League, needing time to adapt, etc.This would be awful. Serge already wanted out last summer, so he won't be signing a new contract any time soon. That means he'll be down to a year next summer and worth a fuckload less than 20-25m.
And that's not even discussing whether him remaining at the club is detrimental to our on pitch performance.
Levy needs to swallow his pride and let him go.
By the way, still not giving my opinion about him as a player, but so far I haven´t seen anything from him saying or suggesting he wants to leave the club now. Just stories from the last window.
Aurier wanted to go last year. I think he still wants to go. And makes sense to cash in now rather than watch his contract run down. If we buy a specialist right back and another centre back, we just about have enough cover (Tanganga, Toby, Hojberg can play there).
I think Aarons could come, but it depends on Norwich and what price they'll let him go for. He's better than many on here give him credit for. Buying young English talent is still a Spurs thing, and has generally worked well for us.
I thought the 12 million was funding the PEH deal? I don't know anything about 50 million, where did you hear that from?
But we are spending more on Hojbjerg than we are getting on KWP - so we must have funds...
GUESS WHO OUR NEW SIGNING IS !
I know we want to get rid of players but if we are demanding 20 million for Serge and 18 million for Sissoko they aren't going anywhere.
Fuck Chelsea and anyone that’s ever had anything to do with them
Apart from Carlo. He was lovely.
Not 50 million worth though imo and we probably wont pay 20 million for PEH upfront so that gives Levy some room to maneuver.But we are spending more on Hojbjerg than we are getting on KWP - so we must have funds...
That´s what I´m saying: "Last year". What have you seen from him lately that really suggests he wants to leave the club now?
Look at Toby staying and getting a new contract. Aurier´s had his best season under Jose - definitely not enough, I know. But things change.
I think AC Milan could be interested - in Aurier, Emerson, Çelik. But everything else is just speculation.
Why are AC haggling over a measly 5 million? Just pay the asking price

Metz are not that keen to keep him.
Because they have other options maybe? We are the ones who shouldn't be haggling. I respect Serge a lot for playing when his brother was killed but he is shit.
Mourinho made the most of him this season, but won't put up with his defensive errors long term. He'll want an upgrade. From the club's point of view, Aurier is on relatively big wages, he's taking up a non home grown spot, he has 2 years on his contract. And from Aurier's point of view Milan will offer him more money and a longer contract. There are plenty of things that put a sale this year on the cards.
That´s a very lazy article, if you ask me.Tottenham Hotspur: Spurs’ pursuit of Metz striker Habib Diallo could become Clinton N’Jie 2.0 - Opinion

"Must improve his ability to hold up the ball". Why? I clicked on the link they gave to find out, and it just sent me to Whoscored - one of the notes said "Holding on the ball" is one of his weakness - Hmmmm.
From everything I´ve seen, he plays in a team with no creativity, and it´s exactly his hold up play that allows his teammates to attack.
Finally, "It´s a risk that is not worth taking". Again, why? He seems to be a very good striker. If he is cheap, that is exactly because there is some risk involved.

I'm not surprised, even youtube fails to make him seem like a decent player
Those prices don't sound ridiculous in a non COVID transfer window but they sound a steep ask now. Who knows how deals and payments are structured though. It's all guesswork from fans unless the club come out and say it. I want both out though. No mistake in that.
