If our options are Dan James or Adama Traore then it is a simple pick.
Just play Matt fucking Doherty as RW and you are way better off
. If we'd sign either of those, then it is most likely a panic buy and we will take a useless obligation for us.
Adama would not come on loan (last season of the contract) and James is just not good enough...
I was thinking a six month English loan would have helped him but if that ITK about Bentacur is correct then we may keep him.
He does not have to be included in the EPL squad and we could just do a "Foyth" and not register him for UCL.
He goes on his hols alone?
Why, why WHY would we do this? Why not just keep Gil?? I just do not understand? There’s no logical explanation.
Surely no Spurs fans could possibly even attempt to justify this?
We got CL.
And brought in one of the best CMs outside of top 6.
Nicked Everton best player to be rotation option.
Signed world class wingback, CL winner and WC finalist + future-proofed position with Udogie
Added quality to CB with once very highly regarded Lenglet
Won the race to sign prospect and one of Championship best player for RWB
And upgraded on 2nd GK.
Lost 0 key players while adding these.
You are welcome for the reminder.
Transfer window did not start two weeks ago.
Though right now it seems that we are running out of options somehow...
But that will not undo all positive things that are completed...
I can sort of grasp the logic. Gil has actual potential & we probably want him somewhere where he plays week in week out, either so we actually end up with a big fee or he plays for us in the future. James/Adama would just be stopgap squad options, we don't care about their development much.
But it's a shit squad option & if we're in a position where we rely on James then we're fucked. He wasn't good enough to be a squad player at United & he's not good enough to start for Leeds. This isn't improving our depth.
James is nowhere near good enough, ridiculous signing if true.
I think the tweet mean Bentacur's head injury vs Nottingham Forest. If so, seems to be more serious than it looks.
We're back to barebone 2 senior CMs at the moment (Bissouma and PEH)
Seems utterly bizarre to me. Would be an absolute shocker.
Not saying James might not add some thing but why on all fronts?
I will be very disappointed if we don't sign a 6th attacking player.
As good as Kulusevski is and whatever option Richarlison or Moura offer, to not have one more especially to cover or provide an option would be complete madness.
Maybe slight concussion, so out for Wednesday at least, which would be a blow.
It's why our model arguably needs 4/5 central midfielders and 6 attackers.
If worst came to the worst we can easily move to a 5 4 1, with Son and Kulusevski moving up a bit or arguably Kane for Son.
What we need is Skipp back and quickly and for us to stop looking at seemingly second rate attacking options.
He must just have been sounded out. I can’t believe he’s our first choice. Timing makes sense though. If we are bringing someone in then the news with break as to who sometimes over the next 2 days.
The way people melt over transfer RUMOURS and act as though each one is a fact is unhealthy.
It would be extremely unusual if we don't make a signing on or near deadline day.My money is on us signing someone on deadline day we haven’t heard rumors of yet. Because that’s just Levy. Have faith. Conte isn’t dumb.
It's almost a tradition..
That’s why we love it.
No one likes anything that’s actually good for them
You’re probably right but it’s a bullshit logic from the clubs point of view.
It’s all well and good signing shit home grown players for the sake of fulfillling the quota, but it’s not okay when it’s in a position where you might actually have to use said shit player.
