Bale will inevitably be highly linked, along with all the other players that aren't destined for elite clubs.

We can only hope.....don't forget Charlie's input..!
If we signed Skriniar, we could play him in the centre of that CB trident and have Dier at LCB. I think Eric has the technical ability to play there, but yeah ideally we'd have a left-footed dude for that job.
Kessie, I don't think you've watched that much of him, cause he's more than a ball-winning MF. He has got a fair few goals for AC again this season and though I can't recall him getting an assist, he still links up play and creates danger in the opposition's box. He'll be free too, but I think he'll demand ridiculous wages and a mega signing-on fee. But I'd look elsewhere regardless, especially as he hasn't always shown a great attitude at Milan.
Belotti, again, I wonder how much you've seen of him. Cause he's really not a player for us, even to play second fiddle to Kane. He's had loads of injuries, incl 2 big ones this year. He's not fast, doesn't win that many duels, misses a fair few big chances, loses possession regularly. He's a good player, but he's Serie A mid-table, not wanna get top 4 and win trophies Spurs. He'd likely have a similar Spurs career to Vincent Janssen.
Sesko? If you're gonna go after a young, exciting forward with lots of upside but who's already got a fair bit of experience, you may as well go after someone like Adam Hložek.
Hmmmm calling wank a guy who's got circa 50 league goals in 120 appearances for Inter and 1 every other game for ARG...that seems a tad excessive.
Yes, he misses a fair few chances, especially this season...but he's got a lot more weight on his shoulders now without Lukaku, he has to work a lot harder. He also does a fair bit of defending, so he's not always got the legs when the chances fall. But he's still young and he's also improving every season. And he's got great attitude, he's a very dedicated player.
I'm not saying he's worth that 75 mil that's being quoted in most pieces about him, or that we should sign him, but he's defo not wank and would be an exciting addition to our forward line. I can defo see him score more goals than Lucas or Bergy (even both combined).
Both Sarr and Raphinha would be good acquisitions but Raphinha would cost £65-70+ and is on the radar of clubs like Man Utd and Real M.
Conte usually doesn't use a "10" ... and if Kulu keeps on improving from his current performances I'd be happy to see him as a wide forward. It's still too early to assess Kulu though.
Pau Torres turned Spurs down last summer because he wanted CL footy and I doubt he's changed him about that. Besides, Barca are said to be after him as Pique is getting old (in football terms) and Eric Garcia has yet to convince.
Bastoni is playing for one of the top clubs in Seri A and is almost guaranteed CL footy for the foreseeable future. It's rare for the best Italiano players to leave Itala anyway.
Livramento is also my 1st choice RWB but Chelksi has a buy-back clause and no one knows how that would work in case Spurs made a bid for him (I have a feeling Chelski would hate to see him join Spurs and would all in their powers to prevent it from happening).

I'd take him for under 50m euros lets say. I'm critical of him for his Argentina perfornaces, as I've seen more of those than his Inter performances.
Messi creates so many chances for him, him and Nico Gonzales fucked up so many times. So frustrating to watch. He'd give us something Son doesn't but I think a lot of Spurs fans would lose their heads having to watch him week in week out.
He's a solidly second tier striker, slightly better than the likes of Morata IMO.
So a coach can't improve a player? That's new. And you don't score as many goals as Lautaro does when you miss each chance.
You obviously do not like the guy (at all), but you can still be reasonable about the things you say, pal.
As for his international goals, so far he's scored against Uruguay, Colombia, Chile and Peru...sure, that's not Brazil, Spain or France, but they aren't minnows either.
Really sounds to me as if you're letting your dislike of the guy cloud your judgement, matey.
We play with inverted wingers and have done for a long time.
Gil doesn't have much experience at RW.
We have Son and we have Bergjwin for cover at LW. Right now I trust Bergjwin more to come in and make an impact in the PL than Gil.
Maybe in 3 years Gil will be first team ready but I doubt Conte is interested in waiting that long (hence the Diaz links).
Pretty sure we will capitalise on his high stock in Spain and sign someone for the first XI in the summer.

Each was a typo, meant to say easy.
My dislike of the guy comes from watching him. I don't know the first thing about him outside of the pitch.
I even said his general play is decent, and brings something Son doesn't. Hardly a scathing rebuke.
Like I said previously, just scoring goals doesn't pain the full picture, he screws up a lot of decent attacking plays or missed fairly easy chances, even if sometimes scores a few low porbability chances.
I don't think he brings enough for the kind of price Inter will likely demand. He give me that uncomfortable could succeed, could fail uncertainty. A risky transfer.
I reckon if Gil keeps this up, then one of Lucas or Bergwijn, who would both attract offers, gets moved on with the proceeds going to a striker and Gil being more trusted next season.
Gil is more talented than Bergwijn in my opinion, far higher ceiling.
He will need maybe another season out on loan- and then in 2023 he could come back and start to challenge for the LW position.
As for always needing inverted wingers- look at Kulu's positioning and cross for the Kane winner vs MC. Surely Gil has the ability to do that from the left?
That I can agree with. I'm not 100% sold on the guy either. Mainly, I don't think that's the area we should spend a fortune on.
If we keep Kane, Sonny, Lucas and Kulu, that's a solid attack. I'd start Kulu over Lucas next season, and if Lucas & Bergy aren't cool with a bench role, then I'd say let's give the kids Gil & Troy a go. It might take time for them to give us quality, but they'd sure try hard. And rather than sign an expensive foreign asset like Lautaro, I'd rather we get a young British CF with upside. There's some very interesting ones in the Ch'ship...
100% This for the money it would take there are better young more EPL suited strikers.
And if Spurs could also get Dave Tacklin as centreback, Glenn Passin in midfield, Cliff Runnin and Chris Driblin as wide forwards, and Jimmy Goalin upfront... what a team.

Accrington who?
Surprise, surprise, a disagree by Airfixx. I don't think you read my comments. I don't care what they say or feel about Gooners. Listen to what they say and comment about that. What they said is 100 percent true about going after players and Daniel Levys (That's Dad to you) games. Players will stop taking you serious if you keeping trying to haggle a few million.
I know they are disingenuous. I never disputed that they like o wind up Spurs fans. I agree they do that. But fact is fact. They were players and they too had agents and had to deal with contract renewals. What I was referring too was them speaking about, "If you want a players in there and get the player. Stop playing games. Berbatov, Modric and a few others had Mentioned how Levy always tries to win a better deal. If you truly feel loosing Grealish, Traore and Diaz had nothing to do with Levy extending negotiations, them I don't know. When Clubs, Players and Agents feel the same way, we would be Naive to say Levy has no fault in this.
Losing out on Grealish was down to Levy, yes - he should have paid up the £25M Villa asked for there and then.
But Levy cannot be faulted for not getting Diaz and Traore. None of their agents said Levy screwed up those deals.
If you had bothered to read up on the stories about Diaz and Traore you'd have known that Liverpool wanted to sign him this summer but when they were informed by his agents that Spurs had met their asking price Liverpool acted fast and in the end, Diaz decided on joining Liverpool. Traore had decided already in December that he wanted to join his boyhood club, Barca - even taking a pay cut. Neither of them rejected Spurs because of Levy but because they fancied other clubs.
But, yes, I am not denying that Levy's tactics - and antics - in transfer deals have spoiled some deals in the past but not those 2 you just mentioned.
