Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Wow! I for one cannot believe this is Tottenham, for all those longer term fans are we all collectively thinking we’re in some kind of dream sequence??

4 solid and necessary signings before preseason has even started?!? In addition to the two top quality signings during the January window?! I still remember the harrowing winter of Ryan Nelson.

This sort of activity is all very unheard for Spurs and I am all for it! Nobody pinch me for I do not wish to wake up.
 
Great insight into Vio here Italy's secret weapon: Gianni Vio, the banker turned set-piece specialist with 4,830 routines

At his first club, the team scored 38% of their goals from set plays 😳 This has been a real weakness of ours for a long time, so great to see we are trying to address it…
That's a great stat until you consider the fact that it could either be because they were really good at set pieces, or because they were so crap at scoring from open play...

:contehandshead:

Also, 4,830 routines might sound impressive, but you know what they say about best laid plans...

Don't you think that our targets might be ON HOLIDAY?

Pau says "Hi!"
Unless we get players in this week the lack of signings is going to derail our Coupong Cup campaign.
 
Although some may consider the Richarlison signing a bit underwhelming, I bet he's going to be a fan favorite by the end of the season simply by his sheer "I give a fuck" attitude.
 



Regardless of whether any of us want or don’t want these players, Barry Glendenning is really not someone with any credibility as a football journalist, he’s just a pseudo-intellectual clown who is about as connected in the football world as Gladys the cleaner at Broadmoor Hospital. Good if you want someone to laugh at on talkSPORT on Sundays but otherwise totally irrelevant.

At best he’s a modern day Mike Parry, except even he was actually accomplished in his own right having been an FA press officer. BarryG should stick to pretending to remember obscure 90s footballers’ names.
 
Is it me or are there more people going mental than ever before during this transfer window? OR at least a new shade of mental. The worrying type of shade, when you're starting to wonder if you should form a stable group of friends to sit on their couch and have a chat to them when they get home from work. Maybe have their mum greet them at the door, so the sight of 15 of us crammed into their living room isn't too distressing, especially when we all have our concerned faces on

I think if you look at any of the transfer threads you’ll see that’s it’s totally normal behaviour
 
Is it though?

Son is better than Sterling.
Kane is in different dimension compared to Havertz as far as striker position go.
And I personally prefer Kulu to Rapihha,though this is quite close. Not sure how good Raphinha can be for non-relegation side.

Our front 3 is terrifyingly good when on form, hence why despite a pretty mediocre midfield/wing backs last season under Conte we were still scoring three, four or five goals regularly. Chelsea's won't be as good as ours for sure but it'll still be scary with the context of Chilwell/James as wing backs & their midfielders.
 
Sure, but I’d also start Son & Kane for Liverpool & City. We just happen to have two of the best players out there.

But Chelsea will blend that with a whole bunch of quality across the rest of the pitch. The realistic aim for us this season should be to leapfrog them but these signings will really strengthen them.

Chill.
The.
Fuck.
Out.

Up to now, we have signed TWO certain starters that will massively improve our side.

In the end of last season, Chelsea practically fell over the finish line. Barely staying ahead of us.

They will have revamp of whole club structure with so many key pefsonell changing.
Their fucking defense will run towards 4 winds and have lost 2 key players in this area.

Right now we are on +2 they in - 2.
TW not closed yet and stuff can change.

I see no reason to panic as we stand.
