Our academy has gone backward I feel. the last few years were really dry with only Skipp rising straight to the first squad

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: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.
And Lo-Tutala is France's U19's keeper. I feel like we could definitely do better with using our academy, even if we can't find them a path to the first team.Wasn't Bennett rated?

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.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?
He'd also upgrade our set pieces. Hey Antonio let's see if we can swap him for Winks, plus most of his transfer fee.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.

Not even for amusement value?
>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.
>No, I don't want to go, Don Levy.
>You what?
>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?
>No Mr Levy...
>No Mr Levy? YES. Yes, Mr Levy!

If he's good, they will and plenty of them. Maybe even better ones.If he thinks he isn't ready to make the step up to Spurs yet then fine, I'm not sure these type of opportunities come about too often though.
Sign both Bremer and Guehi? That's nearly £100 mill in total !!Guehi is very two footed despite slightly preferring right; at U18 he played at both LB and RB before becoming a centre back.
Doc Could him and Bremer be a good duo to bring him?
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.Sign both Bremer and Guehi? That's nearly £100 mill in total !!
I don’t remember the last time a top Italian player left Italy, it’s almost unheard of, it was always going to be tough to persuade him. Why would he want to leave Inter? He already has CL football and the possibility of trophies and he gets to play in his home country for his boyhood club. Unless he is forced out he has no reason to leave.
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 .![]()
From the Handbook: Gianluca Scamacca
Stephen Ganavas' profile of the big Sassuolo striker, taken from Volume IX of the Scouted Football Handbookwww.scoutedftbl.com
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.
