Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

[cretinousgoat]

Employing a chief scout not to be part of the scouting team? Now that's strange even for us and our inability to effectively find players!

Unless they're differentiating between 'scouting' and 'recruiting' I guess?

Scouts report back to the recruiting team - recruiting team does the...well...recruiting?

I dunno.

We're a weird club

Behind a paywall, here it is:

Tottenham will appoint Rangers chief scout Andy Scoulding to a role at the club ahead of their return to the Champions League next season.
Scoulding is set to join later in the summer, having been with Rangers since 2017 and was part of the team behind the scenes, led by Ross Wilson, that helped Steven Gerrard end the club’s decade-long wait to reclaim the Scottish Premiership title.
From the Rangers team that reached the final of the Europa League last month, notable signings included Joe Aribo from Charlton, Calvin Bassey from Leicester City’s academy and Ryan Kent after a loan from Liverpool. All have seen their market values increase during their time in Glasgow.
Fabio Paratici, Spurs’ managing director of football, has been looking to add to his team for his second season in the Premier League, although Scoulding will not be part of the recruitment team.
Scoulding started at Fulham where he was an analyst before being part of the scouting team under Roy Hodgson, then had spell at Liverpool, the Football Assocation and Valencia.
On his job at Rangers, Scoulding said in an interview: “One of the key things for us is to make sure we don’t just have a European footprint, we have a global footprint and we are able to identify the best talent and then attract them to the football club.”
Spurs have seen changes to their staff since the era of Mauricio Pochettino, with John McDermott moving to the FA as technical director and Steve Hitchen leaving last season as the club’s director of technical performance.
Paratici is expected to have a busy summer recruiting players for Antonio Conte to have a satisfactory squad for next season as Spurs rejoin Europe’s elite. Fraser Forster and Ivan Perisic have arrived as free agents, which was Paratici’s hallmark during his time at Juventus. They remain in the market in several positions including centre-back.

Back end of the season Sanchez was great, and he is still developing.

There's a mistake in him every match. Sometimes more.

At some stage I'll watch the Goons match again. I wasn't pissed and I distinctly remember 3 pancake moments at 0-0. Going 0-1 down that night, urgh. Fine margins.

He's better than he was, and a back 3 suits him, but Hugo short passing to him along the 6 yard line is enough to make my Doctor order me not to watch Spurs ever again.

 

[DanSpur11]

Two back ups how?Did I not write either or? The assumption is we sell Sanchez. Have more games due to serious Europen football Sell Royale and or Doherty and Reguilon, and we don't currently have any Davis understudy of note. Here's the thing Spurs fans need to get past we are not buying bench warmers we are buying competition. Liverpool have this down let the best man win.

I see your point, I just question as to whether Bremer is good enough on the ball to play on his weak foot on the left side. I really feel as if we need either a very good ball player or a left footer on that side. Ideally we buy someone who is a massive upgrade on Davies.

I think Sanchez should stay, he’s shown good improvement under Conte in the RCB role.

He's not but have you seen Romero tackle. If that bloke stays fit for an extended period I'll be amazed. Carmo or Torres to replace Davis with Carmo costing less than Djed Spence from Borough.

In Sanchez’s defence, he was drafted into our biggest game of the season at relatively late notice. He had a shaky start to the game but I thought he was great once settled. He’s more than good enough to be a rotational player for us.

Only the top 3 really have a centre half of his quality (99% of the time) on the bench for the majority of the time.

I agree - we need back up in that area, but we need an improvement on Davies first. Dav is a good enough player to deputise for Romero.

Otherwise we end up with a team no better than we finished off with last season.

Bremer is a year away from getting Italian citizenship which is supposedly a factor in his thinking.

I don't think that one's a goer

I guess the question is:

If he plays for Spurs and lives in London why does being an Italian citizen matter???

Yes agree.

I love his pace and he's a lot better than BC (Before Conte).

To play for Italy

Sanchez is the CB equivalent of Zoolander - he can only turn right.

 

[tommyboyspurs]

Oh damn, I put few minutes into writing this but I now started to like this kind of setup quite well -

IN:
GK - Forster (0)
LWB - Perisic (0)
LCB - Torres (50)
RWB - Spence (15)
CM - Bissouma (35) and Eriksen (0)
FWD -Jonathan David (65)

That would be 7 players in, out of whom 3 would be free transfers.

Though if we manage to move on CCV (6 m), Rodon (10 m), Winks (18 m), Ndombelly (0), Lo Celso (20 m), Regulion (20 m), Bergwijn (20 m) then it would be 7 out as well, while CCV, Ndombelly and Lo Celso did not play in the end of season.

If such fees would actually materialize, we'd pay 165. And departures might bring in 94 mil. Only 71 million net spend.

That would leave us with
-----------------------Lloris(Forster)---------------
Romero(Royal)-Dier(Sanchez)-Torres(Davies)
Doherty(Spence)----------------Perisic(Sess)---
-----Bissouma(Skippy)-Bentancur(PEH)-------
--Kulu (Eriksen)--Kane(David)--Son(Moura)-

Plus we would have Tanganga, Sarr, Gil and Whiteman on the bench.

EPL HG players in the squad -
Forster; Davies; Doherty; Spence; Sessegnon; Skippy; Kane; Tanganga (8; sufficient - can register 25 players)
U21 list - Sarr, Gil

UCL club trained players - Kane, Skippy, Tanganga
UCL association trained players - Sessegnon, Spence, Forster
In total 3+3 =6 players ; we could register 23 players + if we want then B-list players such as Parrott, Sacrlett and White.

i would not pay 65 for david

noot worth that much

[Pathfinder]

12 goals and 12 assists in PL (24 goal involvements) for Wham this last season, plus 6 goals and an assist in other comps.

Better than Moura in his 4 PL seasons at Spurs - combined.

Would be good back up for us.

Except for the CL semi-final hat-trick
I think a major reason why he's mentioned so often by Spurs fans is that Spurs were after him and could have signed him without lots of competition and for a cheap price in the summer of 2019 (Wham signed him in January 2020), when Spurs were strongly linked to him - but they passed up their chance.
I doubt he'd be happy to be a back-up at Spurs. And had Spurs signed him back then they most probably would not have signed Kulusevski.

It said we agreed price to sign Gabriel Jesus subject to medical and a high profile signing on the way in the form of Lionel Messi.

 

[BrightonSpurs]

People put too much emphasis on what foot these 3 CB play with.
There will always be times when a player is on their wrong foot unless all our players are 100% 2 footed.

I sort of agree. Although I think it’s to do with patterns of play Conte lines to drill, getting the LCB or RCB to open up there body and get it quickly to wing backs

 

[Shadydan]

Doubt he'll leave, suspect he'll want to stay in London as well
