Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

What surprises me is we aren't being linked to any midfielder apparently, we will probably only have Skipp, Hojbjerg and Bentancur for the next season and if we are going to play 3-5-2 some game we'll need at least two more.
I am more surprised that you haven't noticed that Spurs have in fact been linked to midfielders. Here's a list of the midfielders Spurs have been linked to since the January transfer window:

DM: Kelvin Phillips, John McGinn, Franck Kessie, Yves Bissouma, Cheick Doucouré, João Palhinha, Ruben Neves, Florian Grillitsch, Boubacar Kamara, Lesley Ugochukwu, Leandro Paredes, Tomáš Souček, Idrissa Gueye, Jerdy Shouten, Sofyan Amrabat, Ibrahim Sangare, Axel Witsel, N’golo Kante,
CM: James Ward-Prowse, Dan Reid, Ollie O’Neill (Fulham) Ryan Gravenberch, Arthur Vidal, Marcelo Brozovic, Mamadou Coulibaly, Corentin Tolisso, Matheus Nunes, Jordan Veretout, Enzo Fernández, Vitinha, Weston McKennie, Konrad Laimer, Mattias Svanberg, Youri Tielemans, Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, Seko Fofana, Cheick Doucouré, Antonín Barák, Houssem Aouar, Youssoufa Moukoko, Moisés Caicedo, Jorginho, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Piotr Zieliński, Manor Solomon, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Youssouf Fofana,
OM: James Maddison, Fabio Carvalho, Alex Scott (Bristol City ), Callum O’Hare, Christopher Nkunku, Christian Eriksen, Florian Wirtz, Charly Alcaraz, Daichi Kamada,

Is anyone else uninspired by the Ward-Prowse links? He’s the best free kick/corner taker in the world, so that’s cool, but in the run or play, I don’t think he’s better than any of our top 3 MFs, so I don’t know how he fits here.

He does help the HG quota, so there is that, but is it worth downgrading a MF spot to get the best set piece taker?

I like JWP. He works hard, and frankly would fit in ok, but for the price he's likely to go at-I'm not sure I'm on board with signing him.

>Don't you show me up now. I've got two early boarding tickets for the next Easy Jet flight to Stanstead. Really pushed the boat out for you, Bastoni. Even threw in that meal deal for a sandwich and a KitKat.
:levywhoa:

>No, I don't want to go, Don Levy.

>You what?
:levywtf:

>My daughter... I even named her after Inter Milan, I-

>Yeah saw that. Made me and Fabio look a right set of cunts, didn't it? Still, I'm a generous man; let bygones be bygones and all that. What kit number do you want?
:levyeyes:

>No Mr Levy...

>No Mr Levy? YES. Yes, Mr Levy!

Guehi is very two footed despite slightly preferring right; at U18 he played at both LB and RB before becoming a centre back.

Doc Doc Could him and Bremer be a good duo to bring him?
 


Possible Bastoni alternative.

I've always liked this kid and would be chuffed if we got him. So I hope it's us and not fucking Leicester or Spam.

Not a Bastoni alternative, though. If we get Badiashile, it'll be Davies starting with Benoit playing in the cups and games against lower opposition (and maybe the following year he's the starter). If we get Bastoni, it's the other way around.
 
Sign both Bremer and Guehi? That's nearly £100 mill in total !!
Alasdair Gold: Bremer is an interesting one, because the club that is expected to sign the right-footer this summer is Inter. The 25-year-old Brazilian is available for around £21m and his future could be tied up somewhat with Bastoni's.

Not sure how much Guehi will cost, but probably £50m? So in total they'll cost £70m, similar to Gvardiol's touted price.
 

A decent analysis of Scamacca with whom we have been linked (although its now 6 months old, and he's developed a bit more since - 16 goals this season just gone).

Looking at next season with 38 PL games, maybe 10-15 in CL if we go deep and other 6-10 in domestic cups means it could easily be 60+ games for Spurs then add on maybe 10 games for England and he's up to 70 games next season.

No way he plays all of these so another forward (or even 2) to cover Kane, Son and Kulusevski seems likely especially if Bergwijn moves on as has been widely rumoured.
You do realize that the CL finalists have played 12 games to get there, so not sure where game 14 and 15 in the CL will come from . ;)
