That starting 11 won 9 and drew 2 of the last 13 games last season, there isn't much wrong with it.Lol you compare our team to City’s and Liverpool’s. Should I remind you which club wants to get close to the top 2? So far we’ve added one or two players who improve our first 11. One (Biss) is probably out injured, the other (Ivan) is probably playing, but without him, we’d have the same starting 11 as last season, hence the tweet.
Sounds similar to what we've been doing with Sarr.
Sign him off the back of a promising first full season in top flight football and then loan him back to the club we signed him from for another year to gain more and more experience. He then comes back, has a pre-season to be further assessed and a further decision is made.
It allows us to keep Perisic around for his experience and a further year or two to see if Sessegnon is going to be able to really take that next step. Though I can't help but feel that this might be last chance saloon for Sessegnon this year. His fifth season in top flight football at the age of 22 and still being questioned over his overall ability.
If Perisic can hit this season running, I think we'd all be happy with Perisic and Sessegnon being #1 and #2 choice for left wing back for the next two seasons whilst Udogie is sent on loan to Udinese next season and then perhaps a Premier League club the following year.
Interestingly, Udogie only signed for Udinese last month.
I think you'll find Hercules let the mods know over at sc a while ago and now the name is public he'll be happy to confirm our interest shortlyI hate to keep on repeating myself, but yet another one not picked up by the ITKs….
Who's done that so far this window then?To be fair, mate, buying players who have potential to be elite is probably what's stopped us getting over the final hurdle in the past decade or so.
The teams that mean business more often than not get the finished article.
Good post, in a thread awash with angst ridden, elite manager wannabes.Others have outlined the new salary, deferred salary, and massive transfer fee issue around de Jong.
But the overall squad situation has to be considered too.
There are lots of credible suggestions that we're trying to tie down Harry Kane to a long term contract.
If we sign de Jong on c£400k per week, then Kane will - entirely justifiably - ask for more.
H has delivered season after season for our club, and should not be subject to a hometown discount. Rather, if Kane signs a new contract, he should be rewarded for loyalty and spending his entire peak footballing career with the famous Spurs.
Son too, as PL Golden Ball winner, would be well within his rights to ask for parity or more with de Jong.
So it's not just about "can we afford to sign de Jong?". It's also about the impact such a signing, on crazy Barca wages, of a player who is entirely unproven at PL level, would have on the overall squad salary structure & harmony.
I put a disagree because no, you don't hate repeating yourself.I hate to keep on repeating myself, but yet another one not picked up by the ITKs….
Must be interesting to live in a world where everyone has an unlimited budget.The teams thatmean businessare richer more often than not get the finished article.
How are we going to sign him and loan him back. Players cannot make two permanent transfers in a window. We had to sign Romero on loan last season because of this rule.
They might be open to a settlement, Ndom specially. £15M to fuck off and your a free agentContracts are normally terminated by buying out the remainder... we don't just get to rip up the contract and tell them to fuck off.
I see what you done there !
Crikey.... How 'hard' did they try?
I'd assume we'd shake at 20m......
