PL has money. Players happy to sit at clubs and take the money these days.
Even a WC year isn't enough to convince the newer generation of players to move for minutes over money.

Frankly the obvious point is: it is utterly irrelevant if did not have the likes of Kane son etc because the balls are so utterly sht they would be wasting thier time making runs. His cross to goal ratio is awful because the balls he plays are terrible. He is utterly sht and barca could not get shot of him fast enough.
Didn't play a lot of minutes in Spain, but his highlight reel shows that when he did, he did deliver. 700 minutes, 4 assists is a decent return for a bit part player.
If he can come off the bench for us and put 4 or 5 balls into the box in the final 15 minutes he will be an asset to the squad.
I’m facepalming so hard reading this thread. We decided to talk ourselves into Traore again? God help us all. He’s not at all press resistant and loses the ball in tight areas a lot, slow decision maker, poor end product.
He’s not without value but there’s a reason he sits on the bench at bloody Wolves. Please get an 8/10 winger hybrid instead of him, please.

We know we have brought players in but the team is still short another CB is required and we seriously lack a spark.
The team looks quite flat at times and this leaving us short is not uncommon perhaps you should get yourself into the 21st century mate
Who's available, plays on the right, won't cost the earth and happy to play backup to Kulusevski?
St Max is being quoted at 80, at plays on the left.
Is he a regular in the Spain squad? Anyone not playing in WC could be worth their weight in gold.
I agree with that, so let's see. No doubt at all that he Is not seen as a player who can deliver over 90 mins.
An impact player at best and the question not just for us but any team has to be is that enough?
It's also clear that maybe it's only the top teams who would want and be able to afford such a player, which is the paradox. What I mean by that is that the top teams could afford to pay for him to be an impact player.
Replacing a tiring Kulusevski Traore could be dynamite. Starting instead of him though...hmmmm. Maybe the dilemma.
Makes me wonder which coach will be the first to use the new 5 sub rule to bring on a striker; and then remove him again for a defensive player when they get the goal they needed.
Good point.
It's not unprecedented to sub a sub, but usually it's because the player (the sub) was brought on very early due to injury.
For sure your scenario will play out soon enough.
Making stuff up now, I see, as I never said anything like that. And yet I'm the one talking shit.
The state of some people...
With an option for the club to extend an extra year. A fact you conveniently "forgot." Meaning there's no urgency at this point
You strike me as someone who would absolutely looove for everything to fall apart, just so you can continue your moany narrative. I mean, this last post was really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find something - anything - that may give you and your fellow moaners some glimmer of hope that all is not well with Spurs so you can blame Levy/ENIC. Quite pathetic.

He signed a one year deal with Villareal and then both parties decided to split.
And the reason we haven't got these missing pieces is because... we're sitting on our arse? Or does it have to do with what's available out there?We know we have brought players in but the team is still short another CB is required and we seriously lack a spark.

So tell me, sparky, who should we go for? And don't start throwing around names of players that are unavailable or that Conte doesn't want.
I'll wait...
Imagine him doing what he did to us last season and then imagine having any of Kane, Son, Kulu or Richarlison to pick up the loose balls at the end of those runs. All he really needs to do is smash the barn doors down. Then let the craftsmen do the rest.
Post of the year.
Not the sort of player I like to see in a spurs shirt. gash and awful to watch, it’s like watching a sprinter who has decided he wants to play football and his speed and strength gets him through the first trial
