Agreed. Richarlison is used to playing in a low possession side, that fits us more. He's also a big aerial presence, we need that both in defensive set pieces and in attack. Kane is the only forward or midfielder that is good on attacking set pieces, and he's not as good as he used to be.

Ideally you'd get both... but this is the real world.

I mean, if we got both we'd have a backup RW and a backup CF. This really shouldn't be an unrealistic level of expectation.

Maybe not specifically those two as it would be a lot of money .. but still.
 
Any sign of interest in Reguillon ? A lot has been made of how Perisic and how he and Conte will help develop Sessegnon. Could they not equally do the same for Reggie ? He goes through the odd bad patch but he has also had some very good games. He has shown himself able to get forward and for me his final ball is better than either Doherty or Royal. We seem willing to put up with all the bad games Doherty has had since joining yet Reguillon should apparently go before him. Perisic can play on both sides so why not keep Reggie instead. Perisic, Spence, Sess, Reggie and either Doherty or Royal gives us good cover and we don’t yet know if Spence is ready .

The transfer fee isn't the issue. Both would expect to get significant minutes, and a decent handful of starts, either that or a lot trophies AND bucketloads of cash.

We could give one of them significant minutes, the other would only get token minutes, and quickly grow restless. Unlike Moura, they see themselves as future stars.
 
Daniel Levy has approved for Tottenham to withdraw £100m of the £150m ENIC cash investment to put towards the summer transfer window (Football London).
This comes after the Spurs majority ownership increased capital by £150m last month, via convertible A Shares and accompanying warrants
He only approved £100m of the £150m. Fucking tight-fisted bald cunt.

:pocheyes:

Richarlison & Charles De Ketelaere could be a nice blend; with the latter probably being a bit more patient in terms of game-time.

But yeh; Lucas very much ticks that box in the meantime.


(I think a big factor that's been missing in the past is to sub the likes of Son & Kane off when the games in the bag..... Poch was crap at this. Hopefully the 5 sub rule changes things.)
 

Raphinha is on another level to Richarlison. This is not looking good at all...

Athletic excerpt:
There is a sense around the situation, and among the other teams interested in Raphinha, that Woolwich are now firm favourites for his signature.
There is optimism at the Emirates Stadium that they have manoeuvred into a strong position and it is thought Raphinha is open to the potential move.

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have shown interest in the Brazil international but the former are currently focusing their attention on Manchester City winger Raheem Sterling and the latter’s first-choice target is Everton forward Richarlison.
Based on the numbers there is virtually nothing to separate Raphinha and Richarlison. I think Richarlison has a bit more of the Conte mindset but either would do nicely. Both would be even better.
 
Come on you don’t even believe that. Jesus is absolute garbage. He was a backup striker at a team with no striker while scoring 8 goals in the most creative team in the league. Saka is extremely overrated. Martinez is like 5’6”. You just make yourself look silly trying to be “unbias”

If he were that good, how come Madrid, Barca and a club who need a striker Munich didn't call Pep?
 
Kane, Son, Kulusevski, Richarlison and Raphinha. If we have that five to choose from we will genuinely push Man City for the title. That is how tantalisingly close we are so the club should simply be brave and get both the Brazilians in this summer.
 
They owe money on Dele as well, it was rumoured at £20m, I wonder if we can stall payments, maybe loan Winks on a loan to buy and a few other things to help their FFP maybe sweeten the deal for Richarlison.

"stall payments"...................."loan Winks"

Woolwich fans have been completely delusional and unhinged during this whole transfer window on social media... but if any Spurs fans pretend that Richarlison is on Raphinha's level then it needs to be called out.
It's not about 'levels' - they are very different players, and for many on here, the Richarlison type of player is a better fit for us / Conte than the Raphinha type of player. "Calling out" people just because they have a different opinion to you on a couple of players is a bit arrogant / ignorant as far as I'm concerned.
