Ok, it's official. I now have found the biggest idiot in the rumour mill. Romano. Please can someone correct him.
'He is talking': Journalist has exciting transfer update for Tottenham fans, as Paratici makes change - The Boot Room
For as long as I can remember, Spurs have been linked with numerous different players ever transfer window. Yet Romano raves because it's the "difference Paratici brings".
I'm starting to really believe Paratici is nothing but 'Window Dressing'.

Honestly, probably just bs clickbait. Hope we're not in for him anyway, if we keep Kane any attacker we sign should be able to play RW and preferably left footed.
If we sell Kane I do get a strong feeling Paratici would go for Vlahovic. Or Icardi ...
All our exciting youth fucked off years ago, so now Levy decides to force the Manager to use the academy...
Haha ffs, this gives me chills
Why? Doubt they will be any worse than Winks, Sissoko, Aurier, Dier, Sanchez etc - at the v least they will bring energy and enthusiasm
Tell me about it!
I really don't give a shit about incoming players. I'm more excited about outgoings.
Isn't that what Aubameyang said about us too before he ended up at the Scum?
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang reveals the Premier League club that snubbed him in 2012
PIERRE-EMERICK AUBAMEYANG says the way Tottenham snubbed signing him five years ago is driving him to target inflicting Champions League misery on them tonight. Aubameyang will spearhead the Boruss…

But he has never forgotten the way he was treated by Spurs when he was on the verge of joining them in 2012.
Aubameyang said: “I was at Tottenham back then, had a tour of the stadium and the training ground.
“We held talks, but after that nobody contacted me again.
“That’s definitely extra motivation for me on Wednesday.”

Tottenham could demand four players in Man Utd swap if Solskjaer opens transfer talks
Tottenham are plotting a major squad overhaul in this summer's transfer window and Man Utd may have players they can bring in.
Winks: Out
Baily, Dalot, Lingard & Martial: In
Seems fair.
He was just bitter after the club/Levy mucked him about a couple of years before when we nearly signed him.Isn't that what Aubameyang said about us too before he ended up at the Scum?
Hope this happens fast
Winks as a target to replace Fred and McTominay? What on earthTottenham could demand four players in Man Utd swap if Solskjaer opens transfer talks
Tottenham are plotting a major squad overhaul in this summer's transfer window and Man Utd may have players they can bring in.
I'm honestly fascinated to see Winks in another team. Never really watched much of him with England.
Fred and McTominay are both better than Winks. And most Utd fans despise them. They would have a coronary if they watched Winks playing.
I've no interest in seeing him play for any club TBH, he is just a shit footballer. At a lesser club he'll be less noticeably shit because the team he's playing in will be closer to his level.
We never had any real exciting youth tbf.
The stick that so many people used to beat Poch with “he didn’t use the yoof enough” was and still is bollocks.
Our academy is extremely shit, likely run by a load of cheap, yes men coaches.
Some won’t like to hear that but it’s the truth.
Not sure it's fair to say he should have played them more, but:
- KWP & Onomah's development were fucked up by not being given loans.
- Edwards situ was just a bit of a mess.
- Winks is by far a lesser player than he should have been, having been hampered by forcing him into the proverbial 'round hole'.
...And a few of the younger prospects wouldn't sign senior deals as they couldn't see a pathway (Madueke is set to be BVBs 'new Sancho'.)
Why such a scathing view on the youth coaches?
You clearly have no idea about Spurs Academy
For your information its rated as about 3rd or 4th in UK
Sadly Poch 'train but no play' ethos killed off the stream of Spurs youngsters coming through as 'squad players' - meaning we ended up buying squad players - yet when he arrived we had Mason, Bentaleb, Townsend, Carroll, Veljkovic and others, .... as well as Kane.. Sadly almost none when he left.
No, the likes of Onomah and Edwards, even Pritchard before them, were genuinely highly rated not just within the club but by the likes of City and Barca. KWP should have at least been a solid squad player at our level, Madueke bow looks to be heading to Dortmund.
The only one that we persisted with was Winks...
There is nothing coming through from the academy now that are as exciting as they were, so if you think they were rubbish, then the current crop is bleak.
