Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports



I reckon some folk think Spurs doing transfer business looks something like this:

Strangely cheap deal, Phillips is English therefore already a premium, Eng international and a real big key player for them i would not have expected anything less than 50M as a minimum. Like Raphina he has 2 years left on his contract and in many way as good a pahnia has been for Leeds Phillips was more important in general , not only in terms of football but the drive and passion on and off the pitch leading by example.
With City maybe there's some creative accounting to help FFP compliance. Price seems too low.
 
Yep he is still nowhere near as good as Bissouma though who we got for £25m. Other than Haaland that deal won’t be beaten this window.

Nowhere near as good is questionable. He was superb in 20/21, ran the show for Leeds. Very different type of player, Phillips is much less explosive but has a superior range of passing.

Different types of player really. I think Phillips suits City more and vice versa Bissouma is what we needed.

Bissouma last season was unbelievable, maybe Rice and Rodri where better in the 6 role if we push it and that’s about it and Rice is a very different skill set, he rarely ever gets dominated against, if he was English our midfield would have much better balance.

I was worried Woolwich would get him that’s how good he is.

He was very good. Tended to drop his level in some of the smaller games though & his passing can be a little untidy.

I rate him very highly and think he’s exactly what we need, but he’s not flawless. Both him & Phillips were the standout midfielder in lower level teams.

We got the better deal by far at 25m and I think Bissouma has the higher ceiling. There’s also the injury factor to worry about with Phillips, he really didn’t look the same at the end of this season.
 
Been away for a while. Only 911 pages :mourglasses:.

Anyone who thinks Spurs are going to use a whopping 150 million on players are smoking some real good shit. Even more unrealistic is the idea Levy will let our Deadwood go on the cheap.

The first three signings were miracles. Definitely Bargains. Unfortunately not all transfers are. We back to haggling a few million off Jed Spence and making 10001 bids for players. We all know the real issue. Levy wants to buy Low and sell High.

Its sad but I don't forsee players lining up to be a part of The Hotspur dressing room. Its sad, cause with Conté there, we truly have a chance to put trophies in the cabinet.

Levy is not dicking around, Spence had a price that was quoted to Forrest and others but for us that price was significantly higher, and gibson playing bill big bollocks took the real mick with it. The fact that he wont play for them again, his main desire is to leave them with us as top choice. We'd be happy to pay around the 15M mark but them wanting 20M plus addons taking that more nearer to 30M than 20M, we have every right not to be fleeced

So if true they want more for an unproven LWB than Everton will likely offer for a proven, Club and International midfielder from us?

Fuck Gibson, call his bluff and move on.
 
This!! But also all the biting out at players. And him saving with his hands a sure fire goal in the world cup against Ghana.. and then his celebration afterwards as they missed the penalty. He his someone that is almost impossible for me to like after all those moments.

Okay, let other stuff be as it is - he has done shit...

But saving your team from surely dropping out is nobrainer - same as taking red card for the team last-man tackle while being in the lead in 90+3. . You would suck him off for eternety if one would do this for Spurs 🤦‍♂️

I would hit your post with a disagree, but it appears a whopping 17 people already beat me to it.
