Doherty was Premier League proven. Just saying.I think we need two new CB's and I wouldn't mind him as one of them. Premier League proven and definitely an improvement in relation to Sanchez and Dier.

When TV revenues start to decline, the big 6 will be looking to lock in CL. We will be on that periphery of that unless we qualify next year, like a peasant looking in the window of a grand ball.
fingers crossed Lewis dies soon and there’s a shift in mentality somehow. I don’t think we can afford not to gamble
Can you add details as I dont see the fit beyond maybe GinterLooking at that list. Kessie, Insigne, Zakaria, Issco, Onana, Gintner fix 95% of whats wrong with us. None of them bar one will happen.
Kessie staying at Milan. Insigne is a one club man imo. Zakaria is overrated a little imo, can be great on his day don't get me wrong but I've seen him have a few stinkers. Isco injury prone and would struggle with PL a bit I think, doesn't really have the legs to cover much ground. Onana out with a ban but would take him. Ginter is good.Looking at that list. Kessie, Insigne, Zakaria, Issco, Onana, Gintner fix 95% of whats wrong with us. None of them bar one will happen.
I'd probably go for Sabitzer instead of Isco. Camavinga I'd 100% take if it was in any way possible too over either Kessie or Zakaria.Looking at that list. Kessie, Insigne, Zakaria, Issco, Onana, Gintner fix 95% of whats wrong with us. None of them bar one will happen.
Those are mostly different types of players and preference should depend on who else is the squad and what formation and/or style is intended.I'd probably go for Sabitzer instead of Isco. Camavinga I'd 100% take if it was in any way possible too over either Kessie or Zakaria.
Lots of other decent players there as well.
As late as 13:41, loooser!
It’s unlikely I suppose. But I hope that the board are alert enough to our situation that they do back the manager and give him the cash he needs to change things for the better. No point in taking on a guy who is a strong transfer market operator, who needs a big budget and then not delivering that.Not a chance. Not in Levy and Uncle Joe's nature.
Can't say I blame them to be honest. Which ever way you look at it it is a gamble. What if we pick the wrong 'bargains' and spend years trying to play catch up with them stuck on the books. What is normal? what if theres a new virus next winter, and every winter for the forseeable. Can't see the lane being packed out every week if that happens can you? Add in the fact that TV revenues may well have peaked, be interesting to see where they head in the future.
Thats for a club thats already heavily leveraged based on those normal revenues. I think that strategy, tempting though it is to think dropping £150-200 million in a summer when lots of good players will be going cheap, could end up being a disaster if the cards fall badly for us.
Only clubs that have backers who are happy to throw their own money at the club can afford to pursue that strategy, thats not spurs.
Murmurs of Koen Casteels as well, plays for Wolfsburg. They would cost around 15-18m and both fairly well regarded.
Too old imo![]()
Hugo Lloris' situation at Tottenham and the truth about those Nick Pope links
