Ah, yes. You are right about the signing on fee being built into his wages. He's a useful player, but a 3-year contract? Can't get my head around it. Must be that flute, Joorabchian. How has he come to have so much influence over there?
Or Skipp or Dele in the midfield can still play the short passes to the next nearest player like Winks does..Winks hasn't set any sort of a bar when it comes to performances in the central midfield
Gedson has been in the league for 6 months..too early to write a verdict on him although quite certain that Levy isn't going to make his move permanent
I wouldnt be happy if we'd signed a 32 yr old on a 3 year contract at £ 210k a week. That's insane. Looks like they're banking all on a short term fix to get back into the CL.
Btw, was someone else also bitterly dissapointed that we did not get Olmo watching his game in CL quarter-final ?
An excact replacement for Eriksen. Also young and relatively cheap. Could have forced Eriksen out for maybe 20 mil back then, added 10 mil and get this guy. And everyone would have been on the same page and fighting for the same thing since day 1 of the season... instead whatever this Eriksens first half of the season was. Olmo has up to now has scored 5 and assisted 1 for Leipzig within 880 minutes of football...
Mitchell bettered us once more with this one, didn't he. Bring him back or get someone as capable to do the scouting plz.
For whatever reason nobody bought him last summer - although I'd have been happy to, but with Ndombele and Lo Celso coming in another midfielder was unlikely.
I think Leipzig had sewn up the deal with Olmo so it was only a question of when in January he was going to move.
Spurs signed Bergwijn in January and I think he will be the same level as Olmo - he got 3 goals last season despite having a lengthy time out with injury.
Winks natural place is to play as an 8 with forward passes - that's what he was dooing in the Academy - but playing as a DM he will be sold to play it safe, so backwards and short passes is exactly what's he's being told to do.
Gedson is not being played as a DM so should have more expansive passing. Really didn't show anything much in his appearances to date and if anything seemed to be way off the pace (hence fewer touches of the ball). Think one of Spurs academy players such as Oliver Skipp or Harvey White would have made more of the opportunities than Gedson did
Different players though.
Bergwijn - winger
Lo Celso - to what I have seen so far deep-lying playmaker / nr 8
Olmo - nr 10 / classic CAM
Ndombele - nr 8 or 10 ?
Well yea, guess Ndombele might be closest to Olmo...
Though it boggles me that last summer we brought two attacking midfielders and 0 defensive midfielders. And still to some extent it seems that both Lo Celso and Ndombele would best be played in nr 8 position and not together. That would mean that with Eriksen (10) and Wanyama (6) leaving... we replaced them not with 10 or 6 but two nr8'ths ?
fuck me, to who did this make sense?!?!Or are we just filling positions with timelag and this was meant to fill the Dembele-shaped hole and we'll be replacing Eriksen and Wanyama now in this window
?
You're right but I don't think we have much of plan either. I think the future is pretty frightening for us.
Ah. But remember this?
Mourinho told BBC Sport: “What made me [start Winks and Dier] was the positional play of the four attacking players. I needed one midfielder that was more positional and I needed one midfield that was more a passer of the ball."

Exactly why Winks and Hojbjerg will be our central midfield.Ah. But remember this?

Well we signed a 22 year old on 200k a week over a 6 year contract and it's not looking good atm. Oh we paid over 50 mill as a transfer fee too. Scary shit
For 8 million pounds.
If the rumour was City was looking to spend 15 million pounds on Winks for HG quota that might be more believable but still unlikely.
Season starts 12 September
International Transfer window closes 5 October
Domestic only window closes at 5pm on Friday 16 October (probably mainly only loans from Spurs to EFL clubs, so Spurs could use the youngsters for first few weeks of season to bolster squad numbers).
TBF season has only been finished for 3 weeks (and CL/EL still going on so those players not easy to sign) and the fact the season is due to start in just under a month simply reflects the very short break between seasons necessary to allow the 20/21 season to end in early May 21 to accomodate the delayed Euros 2020.
IMO we will be lucky to get in another 2 players before the start of the season and it would not surprise me if most clubs are doing a number of signings in September.
They do win dude

Although in a beautifully ideal world, you can have both GLC and Ndombele as 8’s if we played a CM3 /433 for example.
We were heavily linked with Olmo early last summer
Tottenham negotiating with Dinamo Zagreb for Dani Olmo- MD
Tottenham negotiating with Dinamo Zagreb for Dani Olmo- MD. Olmo has also recently been showing his worth for Spain’s under-21s.
www.101greatgoals.com
Now, according to Spanish outlet Mundo Deportivo, Tottenham are closing in on a move for the 21-year-old.
As per MD, Spurs are offering €25m to Dinamo Zagreb for Olmo’s services. The report also claims that negotiations have advanced significantly in the last hours.
The same report from Mundo Deportivo also gives an update on Spurs’ pursuit of Real Betis midfielder Giovani Lo Celso.
MD claims that once Tottenham complete the signing of Olmo, they will move on to Lo Celso.
Tottenham are said to have made a €68m offer for Lo Celso, with Betis wanting closer to €75m.
The Argentine would play 46 times while on loan at Betis last campaign, scoring 16 and assisting six.
Betis then made Lo Celso’s signing permanent this summer, for a fee believed to be around £19m.
"Winks is improving a lot, a lot. He thinks much more forward than before."

Olmo impress you last night, big man?
I thought bog roll hoarding had stoppedDefinition of cunt:
Do you really think he's involved in football for his love of Tottenham, rather than fattening his wallet. And profiting from the popularity of football. I mean, really.
I had you down as many things, mate. Both good and bad.
But naivety wasn't one of them.
