Tosin > VdV, don’t believe the hype

Maybe. But it shouldn't have been one or the other when it comes to those two.

Tosin is right footed. Van de Ven is left footed.

 

[OffTheBench]

This window is rapidly turning into a shambles.

I suspect Tosin will get done before the first game but won't be integrated so we'll start Romero + Davies and concede a shedload.

Levy will then panic buy on deadline day and end up paying the 40m for Tapsoba he could just pay today.

Yes to all of that, except it won't be Tapsoba it'll be Lenglet or equivalent.

 

[nicoclaesen]

I think it’s even worse than that mate.

They’re holding off on moving for a CB until the Davinson Sanchez situation is sorted out.

Yes, really. We are in full sell-to-buy mode and yet we have only made headway on Winks and Sanchez, and the latter’s move has apparently been vetoed as it’s with a Russian club. We’re 5 senior players over the squad limit as it stands.

Can’t make this up.

Why is the sanchez move causing an issue. It’s £13 million max which will not be paid upfront. £13 million Tottenham is like a Mars bar to us. It’s absolutely fuck all.

 

[MVP]

We'll probably even miss out on Lenglet at this rate!

You say that like it's a a bad thing. I'd honestly rather we him bring in nobody than clog up the squad with more dead wood.

 

[AlabamaSpur]

Guess we'll find out soon

Hope its true. Need to get this sorted ASAP

 

[StripiestPilot]

I still maintaun it's just a bizarre and pointless move for Kane.
Next to nobody will rate a Bundesliga title, which could be Bayern Munich's even if they gave all their opponents a 10 point lead.

In my opunion, it's 50:50 whether it is considrered a success, even if Kane scores a ton of goals.

Simply nobodyvwill give it any credence.

Very odd.

If Kane goes there he will score bags of goals, win easy domestic trophies and be a serious contender in the knockout phase of the CL.

After years of sweating his bollocks off with us only to win less than West Ham, surely you can understand why he is interested? He wants the feeling of wearing a winners medal and not the feeling of losing 6-1 to Newcastle.

 

[RealCoolYid]

Absolutely

Also the exact reason why I never thought they would do it

It’s bad when your club has conditioned you to such an attitude

I considered Daniel a reasonably good chairman. Now subpar and if he flakes out on improving one of the worst PL defences then I’d wish him gone

Quite a few people who have watched Tapsoba say his biggest weakness is in the air. Same with VdV.......surprising considering how tall both are

His stats before this season had him in the top 15-20% in the air.
The knock on him aerially is because he hasn’t needed to do much in the air last season.

VDV is meant be be awful in the air

 

[Richard Arlison]

No. Sorry. Obviously I wasn’t clear enough. I’ll spell it out

I’m not saying I’m disappointed to be or not be signing vdv or tapsoba. I’d never heard of either and I’d hazard a guess most spurs fans hadn’t.

The point I made was I (and probably the other fans voicing their disapproval) dislike the fact spurs haven’t signed ‘spurs first choice CB (A) and ‘spurs first choice CB (B)

The point I’m making is I’m disappointed in spurs not delivering on their first choices

They’ve identified them for good reason one hopes. Now make it happen

What they’re actually called means absolutely nothing to me

Sorry you had to write so much stuff about second hand cars

I don’t get why this is a difficult concept for ppl to grasp

VDV is quick though, which means he can recover to defend when opponents play that ball over the top that is killing us at the moment.
With the space we are leaving behind the defence we are going to get murdered by Premier teams.

Tapsoba is rapid as well.

Just doesn’t have the viral clip to show it

If I can’t see it in a YouTube comp reel I’m not interested

 

[Airfixx]

You said elite CBs won't come here. Surely the club have identified him as elite if they want to sign him?

Your words; not mine

How about you get to the point if you have one; instead of strawmanning and fishing for gotchas.....

 

[GGTH]

Tosin > VdV, don’t believe the hype

At the moment maybe, but VDV has a high ceiling.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Relax everyone, Hercules ITK on SC says Tosin wants to come but the way we do business is feking him off.

BREAKING NEWS

 

[JDefoe]

I don’t understand why suddenly Tapsoba and Van de Ven are the only CBs in Europe.

Lukeba? Hancko? Both left-footed.

 

[RealCoolYid]

I don’t get why people don’t get a lot of things …. I had one the other day where in the end I just thought bollox to ya

There’s plenty I don’t engage with because I know it’s a total waste of time

Saying that in the minority are some very smart posters and they make the board worthwhile

Maybe Paratici listed those as the best two.

I like that we identified our targets early.

Everything beyond that though has been disastrous. We've taken out eye off the ball and we're lucky that no other clubs have stepped in tbh.
