He also posted video where he trains with his personal coach while personal coach was wearing Hajduk Split goalkeeper jersey.

Congratulated to 2 of new Hajduk players publicly on instagram posts…

Even Hajduk’s sport director said they are doing everything they can to bring him, he definitely wouldnt said that without Perisic consent to come.

Tell me honestly, what kind of shirt wear any other personal coach in Split? We both know that Hajduk is a religion in Split and I mean that in a good way. Your sport director is irrelevant in this moment, cause he can't destroy fan's dream this summer. You and I know that Hajduk have no leverage in negotiations right now.
Do you really think that your sporting director or president have exchanged even one word with Levy?

I agree with you that Hajduk has no leverage. At the end, Tottenham will decide under which terms they will or wont let him. Son, Solomon, Tottenham playing only 1 game a week, hardly enough minutes for 3 wingers. We didnt need todays game to know that Perisic (and also Solomon first h) are good players.
Just saying that we have always heard political answers from Hajduk sports director, he could have easily continued that way in last interview.
I cant know for sure if they exchanged a word with Levy, but president of club confirmed they are in contact with Tottenham (Levy or whoever).
 
Look, I only try to express my realistic opinion. If Ivan won't be needed and released from Spur's it's 99,99 procent that he will go to Hajduk. But, I don't think that Spurs will release him on free, and that is the only way for Hajduk, because a lot wealthier clubs in Europe can't afford to pay his wages while he's on contract.

I don’t see it. Maybe a fallback option but those wages are crazy - must be on x3 as much as VDV wants and probably Tabsoba too

We’re not bringing in Lenglet on his current wage.
If we were, it would be at the end of the window, on a loan, with Barca heavily subsidizing his wage. If we do permanently sign Lenglet, and I’d rather not, it would be on new contract terms with a very much reduced wage. He knows he isn’t getting his Barca wage again.
My guess is that we’re bringing in one of DdV or Tapsoba. I’d rather have a naturally left footed CB but my guess — and it is a guess from incredibly limited info — is that the club would prefer the opposite and that negotiation is behind. It could be that neither Leverkeusen or Wolfsburg are open to selling and we’ve moved on to different targets which is going to upset many fans who are now thoroughly invested in two CBs that they had never heard of four weeks ago — me probably included.
 
It's early days but Porro and Reg at fullback looks dodgy. Far too lightweight.

LB is probably fine with Udogie/Davies.
Emerson will do well at RB but jury very much out on Porro/Spence. Given the numbers there I don't see us signing a RB but I have a feeling Porro will be seeing plenty of bench time.

For midfield I reckon we go into the season with:

Maddison -- Ndombele/Bentancur
Bissouma

Sarr --- Devine
Skipp
​
PEH and Gio sold but Ndombele stays around as cover for Bentancur.

Just because he’s earning that at Barcelona doesn’t mean that we have to offer him that. Knowing Levy, he’ll offer him half the amount he’s currently earning & with the nominal transfer, if he accepts, Levy will see it as a decent signing. If he turns it down, the vast majority of fans will be relieved

It means someone has to balance off against his contract; be that them or us and the whole point for them is to get him OFF that wage-bill, so.............

Tbh based on that, we will be fine attacking without Kane

Really? Watching that game makes it even clearer to me that we are absolutely desperate for some attacking/creative/productive quality.

If we’re going to dominate games like this, the bunch we have - Kulusevski, Son, Richarlison are really not good in compressed spaces, Solomon’s ok at dribbling but lacks vision, he just seems to want to shift and shoot.

We need someone in the front three who is composed and can operate under pressure and still see passes.

Maddison isn’t brilliant under press either.

Ndombele might be able to help if he sticks around, but we need better forward players. Someone like Cherki who is composed in tight spaces but also sees passes might be worth a shout.

Thought the system created plenty of chances.

Could have scored 5.

Obviously won't be like that in a prem game but chances will be created.

Lo Celso was threading them everywhere.
