Sounds like we've had to bend a little on this and give Barca first refusal on NDombele and Winks.
I think Kulusevski's role is an AM. So far at Spurs he's played more a a winger version of the AM position as he's mainly been playing in front of Royal who is a full back not used to getting into attacking positions regularly.
So Conte has got Kulusevski playing more of a winger role to compensate for the lack of forward runs from RB/RWB.
Regardless, in addition to 5 goals, Kulusevski got 8 assists in 18 games (may have been highest in PL for half a season ? Still in top couple of assist makers for a FULL season ), which I think shows where our creativity was coming from in the 2nd half of the season.
Which is why I'm relaxed about this 'creative CM' role ...... we 've covered it. Of greater interest to me is a rotation option for Kulusevski as he's not going to be able to play all circa 60 games next season. If these reports of Gordon are correct, that's a great way forward
I wonder how the salary works with regard to our option to buy.
Ie if Lenglet has an outstanding season, we could pay the fee to sign him permanently but presumably he's still on his underlying Barca contract reputed to be about 12m Euros pa.
I doubt we would pay that large a salary, so presumably we'd have to negotiate a new salary at a lower figure. Which Lenglet would have to agree to.
It’s only one HG space for PL. Presuming Austin is 3rd keeper, Doherty is shown as HG on the PL website for last seasons squad. Sounds like Spence might be sorted shortly ...todays info from Dan K of the Standard
We are really growing a fantastic squad here with the inevitable arrivals of Lenglet and Spence shortly. Does anyone seriously think we can challenge the league? Initially i was thinking no chance, but why not? We got a fantastic manager. Building a brilliant squad to compete. We have Kane and Son. I honestly think we can challenge City and Liverpool
Let’s wait to see the team in action before we start saying things like this. It looks good on paper but so do a lot of things. Hopeful though.
I was listening to Football Journos Kevin Hatchard and Andy Brassell on the Barca situation it's nuts. they've sold 10% of their tv rights for 200M and want to sell 15% more. the money is supposed to be spent over ten years but they're basically trying to spend it all now.
they're an absolute shambles.
That should be including adds-on I hope.
Last summer he was hardly worth £2-3m, and Boro wanted him out (and would have sold him for a much lower price then) but no club wanted to buy so they loaned him out instead. Forest just bought a new RB as they also didn't seem to wanna meet Boro's price.
It's rare for a player (and a defender on top of that) to increase his value by more than 10 times between the age of 21-22.
Yes, Spence apparently has lots of potential and after a few games he may prove that he's worth £20m but Spurs need RWB that's "worth" £40m+ ability-wise.
Does Boro want him back as Gibson claimed? I doubt it very much. They already have Jones as RB, so they need money to buy players for other positions. And Spence was apparently known to have a bit of an attitude problem at the club.
Anyway, let's see how Levy will handle this...
Can’t wait to see Romero fold him in half
Oh ok, there was some slight misunderstanding then that's now clarified
Ah well.
We weren’t in for him so can’t really say much.
I’m a bit surprised he didn’t choose to stay at Brentford given how settled he is in London but I imagine he’s getting a heftier wage at the red scum.
I’d have wished him well had he stayed at Brentford but meh.
Disappointing but I’m sure he will be on mega wages there, and can’t blame him for chasing money after his medical issues.
