I can't wait to see one or both of them come back over for a legends match. They'll get a proper roar from the crowd.
Yep but what I meant by a statement signing is that it hardly tells the rest of football that Spurs mean business if we sign Woolwich rejects. Sign a big name player then it sends a statement to other big names that Spurs are serious and might encourage some of them to sign. Maybe even Kane could be persuaded to stay as well. Sign Guendouzi and it will likely have the opposite effect

I know what "statement signing" implies, but I think our transfer concerns ought to be a lot lot more practical than optics.
I'm far more concerned about our habbit of botching big money trfs, fundamental improvements to the squad and improved coaching than worrying about sending 'messages'.

Both are still more useful than this version of Dier. He’s been woeful this season (I say that as someone who thought he was excellent second half of last season)
If slots our manager wouldn't be surprised if we go after Kokcu & if Leeds go down Sinisterra
Personally, I am not that bothered about "losing" out on Bastoni.
Kessie - who's been heavily linked to Spurs - is apparently not leaving Barca. At least that is what he's saying (now)...

That's a fantastic salary on the continent.
Premier League salaries really have created a distorted market.
5M net is also a lot more than the gross wages, which is how the figures are quoted in England
Must have glazed over the fact that it said net........
Manuel Akanji cost Man City just £15 million (summer 2022) and is the sort of player Spurs needed.
I know it's too late now but I wonder why on earth Spurs didn't go for him at that price
Man City got him relatively late in the transfer window.

Reminds me of Ruud Gullit's frustated comment when the chavs lowballed him all those years ago...
-------------------------------------------
"I [chav MD Hutchinson] said to him, `Well Ruud, if you misunderstood, the figure was pounds 1m per year gross. Would you have accepted that?' And he flatly said no. Ruud, who is a master of the media, very craftily said today that he asked for pounds 2m. He did ask for pounds 2m and I immediately responded and said, `Gross?' And he said, `No, netto. I always talk netto.'
Football: Chelsea claim Gullit wanted pounds 3.3m a year
hes fucking shit. have you actually watched him or are you just saying it because hes been playing in a side thats destroying teams? hes a fucking weak link for them. hes dog shit on the ball! how ancelotti has not moved vini over to target him i do not know!Manuel Akanji cost Man City just £15 million (summer 2022) and is the sort of player Spurs needed.

Calm down, Akanji in our defence would be a joke, he doesn't have to defend for 80% of matches for City where as for us...
Calm down. He cost them only £15m and he's played 2 games vs Real M. and looked "solid", so he can't be as shit as you claim him to be...
He cost just £15m, so you can't expect him to be world-class but he looked solid being played out of position (he's a right-footed CB playing as LB) vs Real M. in 2 games now. And he was up against Rodrygo.
Which is more than one can say about most of the Spurs defenders.
I'd still take him at £15m
As an understudy.
