Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I'm not panicking. Why do people assume a different assessment is panic?

I'd be happy with top 4 again this season. Finishing behind Chelsea would be no disaster, they have a very strong squad and an elite manager. The signings we've made are really good, but from who they're being linked to it seems they're looking at strengthening more than people assumed post Roman.

Just three thoughts -
1) It is quite pointless to assume that Chelsea get all their main targets and we fail to get any players we are targeting. Most likely we will get some and miss others, same for Chelsea.
2) while some of their potential targets seem quite proven quality (Sterling) then with others there are lot of question marks. I bet you assumed that 100mil Lukaku was also frightening transfer year ago... We saw how that went.
3) the same "elite manager" also oversaw their end of the season... Plus once more - lot of technical / backroom staff is changing in the club. We don't know impact of that yet.
 
I like Everton. They’ve had a similar footballing trauma to us in that their neighbours won numerous trophies while they’ve thrown money and everything at trying to catch them without luck or success. They’ve also had a lot of Scottish players and goodison is a tremendous old stadium. However I’ve not forgotten the 4-1 fisting they gave us in that semifinal so in this particular scenario- fuck them and that wee kid and his mum.
 
Did I miss the weighing up of an offer to Richarlison? Or are does that come after readying? I assumed it came before.
