Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

If indeed Spurs have a buy-back option of £30m and other EPL are willing to pay £40m (which I doubt very strongly) maybe Spurs should simply trigger that buy-back clause and sell him for a £10m profit :cool:

Why would you leave Southampton for Everton. Do you realise what a mess Everton are in
 
We need one more like Ivan Perisic, experience and has won trophies in the past. I don't think Maddison is a Spurs player.
Why not ? Is richarlison a spurs player? Before we were inter tested in him he was probably one of the most despised players amongst fans. A big time cheat. Now his a spurs player. £50M for Maddison HG as well and is just the sort of attacking player we need for bus Parker teams.
 
Maddison has also played a lot off either side in a 3 so he would fit into what Conte does brilliantly and his attitude would be excellent and if he has a bad attitude Conte won’t sanction the signing

A fair few people wanted him before the window opened.

How has he fared against parked buses in the past then?

If at all, I dare say most people only tend to watch Lester when they're playing the bigger teams.


..........Perhaps all his Gs & As have come against teams that leave a little more space for him to operate?

Well we are not exactly blessed in that department? We have struggled last season Burnley twice, Brighton at home, Brentford away to name a few all games where you would expect us to boss the game and create chances but we hardly mustered a shot. So why not bring in Maddison to offer one-twos, quick little slide rule passes plus free kicks. Unless you have someone else in mind?
 
I'd guess Palace would slap at least a 40m "steer clear" on either.... At which point surely the fundamental consideration goes back to the player/ability.

I think both Eze and Olise would fit Conte’s system better and are more versatile - they can both play right, left or centre AM and as WRF/WLF - Eze can play as an 8 - they can both move with the ball and beat players too - unlike Maddison.

I think Eze would cost 30-35. Olise maybe 35-40 plus adds.

Olise’s xa90 was almost double Maddisons’s. Of players who played more than 1000 minutes, his 0.40 xa90 was only bettered by KDB.

Also Maddison is a massive wankhorn.

I'm not advocating for Madison here..... Just thinking in terms of bang for our buck.

This matter keeps coming back to the question mark of IF Conte wants to move away from 343.... If not, then we may as well just invest in the front 3 instead.

If Madison is not productive against parked buses then this whole speech is moot.

Is he? I don't know, but I'm not the one advocating that we sign him. You've not really sought to answer my point at all......

I’m not saying we buy him either all
Im saying he is the sort of player we need. If plan A doesn’t work or we need to change formation depending on the opposition then a Maddison type player would be useful. Hence I was all for ericksen to come back for a couple years whilst we find a younger version or develop one.
