Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Joshua Zirkzee is a player I liked the look of before he went to Man utd, possible cheap option at a good age.

We'll probably need to based on the squad building the defenders we'll likely have start of the season won't be good in the air so we'll need midfielders who can make up for that which is why I want to keep Palhinha partly.

Lack of aerial ability at the back is a worry I don't think we have enough players who can head the ball.
Aren't we getting Vuskovic back? That's one of his strong points from what I've heard.
 
It might be an issue, but on balance I am very happy with having ballers in there (and the team in general)

Even if the cost is getting bullied in the air a bit
Yeah but the issue is that teams see that and will just play the ball in the air relying on 50/50s knockdowns and second balls to even the odds and not allow us to play our game on the ground it's a big risk. They can also bully us on set pieces.
 
Is Vlahovic actually any good? I haven't seen enough of him but he always seems to be this "dream signing" for fans on social media. For all the hype around him, do we even know if he'll score more goals than Richarlison?

I'm always weary of these players who do be hyped up for years while playing in other leagues but have very little to show for themselves. Anytime I've watching him play for Serbia, Mitrovic has always looked a far more dangerous forward. The same Serbia who couldn't qualify for the world cup.

I think its nearly got to the stage where people haven't seen Vlahovic play in ages but because he has a big name, people want him. Very high likelihood he's just very overrated and could be the next Kolo Muani if we get him in on a free.
 
Romero and Dragusin are off I suspect. Vuskovic back on loan probably to a prem team this time and that leaves VH, VDV, Danso and Sensei.

If the club are ruthless I think they will sell Danso next summer and bring Vuskovic in. That would be 4 elite CB’s.
RE: Danso. That would be a shame, he's been really good for us, but probably the right call if we are tekkers all the way.

We're bidding for Van Hecke so it doesn't seem like Vuskovic is in the plans for next season.
It's all going to be for naught if they're playing progressive passes into our donkeys up front.
De Zerbi ball makes it easier for midfielders to receive the ball because of his patterns of play and the defenders are good on the ball and have a good weight of pass making it easier for midfielders to receive it.

Its a compromise thing, nothing ever perfect

Ill live with the risk of that

Mostly because we wont let teams have the ball enough to get near us or cause us any trouble :rdzsmug:

Been a while since Ive watched him, so Im really not that informed

Cant say Ive ever been impressed when I have seen him though

That appears to be exactly what the plan is.
Danso is handy to keep around because he's a strong defender and superb in the air, so keep him around while Vusko gets another year under his belt, then shift Kev and bring Vusko home.

FightingIllini FightingIllini has managed to convince himself that Luka is currently the best CB in the world and is petrified that we're going to sell him, even though he has 4 years on a contract and will probably sign an extension this summer.

Now I'd love Vusko to come and play next year but we have no idea what the club, or the player, think is the best course of action right now.
