No, it's not fan flannel.

Raphinha is a quality player. He would massively improve both our squad and Woolwich's.
If he's going to either us or Barcelona, then his signing is less urgent as if we drop out and sign Rich instead, it wouldn't strengthen a direct rival.
But atm it looks like either us or Woolwich.

Spending 65m unless we categorically DO want the player IS ludicrous.

Keeping him from Woolwich should not enter the equation.

You don't spend 65m on anyone just to keep them from another clubs...... Only a fan would suggest such a thing

We've definitely had a better window than them so far. Bissouma and Perisic are class, while Viera and Jesus wouldn't make our first XI.

....Point being; they haven't signed Jesus yet so why leverage that against us.

......Unless we can 'claim' Spence, Richarlison etc. which would in turn blow the initial criticism out of the water.
 
I observed this yesterday too; they're bringing in quality but it doesn't make much sense from a squad building perspective for them.
I'm also a bit taken aback, they've been spending like crazy for a while too.


Why are they complaining about Kroenke again?

Not like they're raking it in. They're the poorest of the big 6.



The only explanation I could find is that they're burning through their cash reserves from the Wenger era.


Spursidol Spursidol what do you think?
 
Pleased Sonny is getting recognition, he would do fantastic at Madrid but they can go fuck themselves.


Real Madrid could make Tottenham hero Son Heung-min their key summer transfer target having missed out on a move for Kylian Mbappe who opted to sign a new deal at PSG

Real Madrid are said to be eyeing up a move for Tottenham's outstanding forward Son Heung-min during the summer transfer window having missed out on moves for Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland.

With Mbappe choosing to extend his contract in France with PSG and Haaland returning to the country of his birth to sign for Manchester City, Carlo Ancelotti's side could move their interest to the South Korean international star.

The 29-year-old won the Premier League Golden Boot last season while shining under Antonio Conte and has now managed 131 goals in north London from 325 appearances in all competitions.

European football journalist Rudy Galetti reports that Real Madrid are following the profiles of various forwards as they look to strengthen their playing squad.

Among those options is said to be Spurs hero Son, who continues to impress in the Premier League having scored a career-best 23 in domestic competition last season.

One reason Spurs fans will be confident in keeping Son is the recent extension of his contract that runs until the summer of 2025 - meaning any deal to take him away from the club would cost a huge amount.
 
There's a difference between saying that he'll be ok as a back up keeper for cup games and that he's "the coup of the transfer window", which quite blatantly made up
But he wasn't was he Stevee, he wasn't a good back up keeper for cup games. He was a waste of wages. Erratic positionally suspect and easily beaten. We ma as well have promoted Whiteman who is better than him now untested though he was. Also he had one very vocal poster did indeed use the word coup.
 
Hakimi is staying at PSG, Sterling would not leave City to join us, Bremer wants to go to Inter (who can afford him after Skriniar goes to PSG).

Gvardiol is realistic at that fee, but imo it's a rip off. He's a youngster with good potential, but struggled vs Rangers. Frankly his fee should be lower than Romero's 50m.
Below, the Marca article is the reason why there are rumors about Hakimi wanting to leave PSG. Whether they're true or not I cannot say. I'd say no more than £55-60m if PSG were willing to sell.
Gvardiol would cost closer to £75m+ if any club wants him - because, as you said, he's got potential, and because Leipzig are in no need to cash in . They €18.80m for him just a year ago and now he's worth 4 times that



The 2021/22 season will likely go down as a failure for Paris Saint-Germain, even if they do still go on to win the Ligue 1 title. The environment at the French club is not positive at the moment and this could even see significant changes come in the summer.

Those changes could involve Achraf Hakimi. He was one of the few star signings that PSG actually paid a transfer fee for in the summer of 2021, shelling out around 67 million euros to Inter, but the full-back could be ready to leave the Parc des Princes after just one season.

According to French journalist Daniel Riolo, who spoke on RMC Sport, Hakimi is "freaking out" and wants to leave the club, with the South American contingent in the dressing room no longer even speaking to him.

While the 23-year-old Moroccan's form has been up and down this season, he is one of the younger players in the squad and one for the future.

PSG surely won't want to let him go, especially so soon after arriving, and could force him to stay, since he has a contract until 2026. Other players have found out in the past that leaving PSG is easier said than done.

A change in coach could convince Hakimi​


It is believed that Hakimi's frustrations largely come from the way he is being used under Mauricio Pochettino. But, a change of coach could be coming in the summer and that might convince Hakimi to stay and take on the 2022/23 season with a fresh mindset.

If not, and if PSG do agree to sell, there would be several clubs interested in this attack-minded player who has shown flashes of brilliance at Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Inter and PSG. The raw talent is there and that means his value is still sky high.

We do want him.

Keeping him from Woolwich should enter the question, we should be ready to pay a premium unlike if it was a race with Barcelona.

....Point being; they haven't signed Jesus yet so why leverage that against us.
Jesus to Woolwich is very advanced.

Kroenke has been lending them money, admittedly interest bearing.

Not a very good article. Almost every agent around knows there's no point in approaching Sonny because he's so happy at Spurs and wants to stay.

I'm sure they don't understand the concept of players not being interested in going to Real

PSG are not an easy club to deal with. They will not sell one of their best players at this point in their rebuild.
