Transfers Summer 2022 Transfer Thread.

Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

As someone else pointed out, every season pretty much they sell a player for big money… Kante, Chilwell, Mcguire, Drinkwater…cant remember the others….this season???

Oh and Mahrez

From season 16/17 they have sold at least one player every season for at least 40M+ except last season.

I'd be amazed if they didn't sell one player for a lot of money this transfer window. Whether that player comes to Spurs is a different matter, but if Paratici has the funding and Maddison wants to come then it's a no brainer.

That would for sure give us the best attack in the PL and i don't give a fuck what Haaaaarrrrrland does for that oil company in Manchester.
 
By this stage of the 04/05 window we'd signed;
Paul Robinson
Marton Fullop
Pedro Mendes
Sean Davis

In that window we added;
Edman
Atouba
Naybet
Carrick
Ziegler
Paramot

In the winter window we went on to sign
Andy Reid
Michael Dawson
Edson Silva

A few of these were nonentities but a lot of them elevated the club a lot and quickly.
This window has vibes of that window. A lot of players coming in, early, that are fit for purpose.


Some memories among that lot for me.

Mainly sleepless nights worrying about how many we'd lose by next game.

Talk today Man U are in for tielemans but that will (only) be £20m. Not enough for them to bring in any meaningful players.
 


DJ seen outside Hotspur Way, sources close to the club say that he will likely start the 2050/51 season.

Something weird is happening at Leicester. It seems like they are in an unstable situation. Vardy being injured last season is not helping them and his wife has made him unpopular with his teammates. There is also rumours of discontent from their owners if they should be bankrolling the club as much in the future.
Goes to show, once again, that owners bankrolling clubs will come back to bite them eventually, if they don't also have success on the pitch. And confirms that the model ENIC followed, which ensures sustainability regardless of on-pitch results, is the way to go.

With the exception of City and Chelsea, who have an entire country and an owner that made loans without repayment (and that also benefitted from the absence of FFP for several years), the only way to sustain continued spending is by building an infrastructure that will guarantee sustained income. Everton and Leicester are prime examples of what not to do. Remains to be seen how Newcastle will pan out.
 
You would have thought that if he was the nuts, that Sonny would have said something to Paratici?
Possibly, but he is 20, and from looking online, it seems he has made only 1 appearance for the Under 23 national side and 0 appearances for the senior national side (and has never been called up for them). So every chance that Son doesn't know too much about him.. other than maybe in hearsay..
 
Fekir's only 28. Prime of his career.

As a squad option to open up the bus parkers, he seems ideal.

Presumably though he's the cheaper option to HG Maddison & Conte's rumoured top target SMS.

How do you come up with 70+ games? Last season Liverpool played the max games any team could play by reaching all its cup finals and ended up playing 60 games. Add the FIFA club world cup and that's 62.

I did say upto, never know with replays, when we win champs league and have to play uefa super cup, club world cup .....

I'm too lazy to go and check the exact amount but didn't Liverpool play about 70 games when they last won champs league??

The here and the now footballing philosophy when buying players is all well and good for clubs like City, Chelsea, United, Madrid, PSG and Barca where wasted millions buying players have no consequences.

FFP is just a pretense that covers up UEFA's inadequacy to actually bite the hand that feeds them.
