Its hilarious to see how many Spurs "fans" are really just transfer fans. Peak Alli was waaaaaaaaaay better than peak Grealish has been.

Peak Dele was playing in a team that was essentially a free role for him to get into the box and score goals as a second striker. Grealish has been carrying the Villa team on his own for a couple years now, and you only need to watch him on the ball to see the difference in what they both can produce with the ball at their feet.
 
Its all about "new toys are shinier" is what its about. Dele has had some struggles recently, and yet he's still produced more efficiently than Grealish.

I don't have anything against Grealish. I wanted him a few summers ago at around what, £30M? But £100M you're having a fucking laugh.

Peak Dele > peak Grealish. And Dele is nearly a year younger. I'd back Dele to get back to good before I spent even £60M of fucking Grealish. Grealish is just Barkley Mk. II, he's gonna disappear at Citeh.
It does my head in that Dele is younger than Grealish, fair play that we’re describing Grealish as an up-and-comer and Dele as a has been when they’re in the same part of their careers.

But having said that, it’s not a question of form, Dele just isn’t the player he was anymore. His sense of the game has just abandoned him, and his profligacy with the ball (which he always had, it’s the other side of the coin to his creativity and risk taking) is just so destructive now.
 
I don't want to get all hipster on everybody but how about Scamacca?



Imagine the scenes when Reg passes to Gill who then plays it on to Macca to score? Just need to get Holsten back in as a shirt sponsor and we are ready to go.
 
Need to be someone like Abraham or Vlahović. Ings is 29 and has a worst injury record than Kane. Scarlett and Parrott, if they work out, are a couple years away.

Realistically we need to be buying two strikers with the Kane situation. Daka would have been brilliant.
Oh, I was definitely thinking we'd be going down the Vlahovic + Ings route if Kane were to go. I wonder if Ings moving to Villa is completely unrelated to Kane or whether he'd been told that Kane in fact wasn't going anywhere this summer (you never know, Levy may dig his heels in hard) so any move to us was off.

Daka was a real shame. I wonder if Paratici didn't fancy him or perhaps he felt Leicester was the better move for his career.
 
I think we’re going balls out for Kounde.
