I don't think we'll often see both attacking FBs, Porro & Udogie, starting in the same defence.

More likely unbalanced FBs, one attacking, the other helping to form a 3 defensively.

So Porro & Davies, Emerson & Udogie.

If VDV2 is signed., that could change to Porro & VDV2, with Davies eased out as the season progresses.
Davies is so underwhelming! Considering most wanted him out before he started to play in a back 3/5. He is nowhere the quality you need to play FB!
 
Woken up to the Tapsoba links too

Does this mean what I think it does? :kanehand:


Don't think we will get him but if we get both him and VDV then it's likely Kane will have been sold.

Vicario 16m
Maddison 40m
Porro 39m
Kulusevski 25m
VDV 35m
Tapsoba 40m
Veliz 12m

207m spent



Sanchez 10m
Ndombele 10m
Winks 10m
Hojbjerg 30m
Tanganga 7m
Rodon 8m

75m received



so that's 132m net spend. Yeh possible but can't see it tbh.


Think Kane and maybe Spence will be added to the sold list (although with Spence being HG maybe not?)which will probably be 105m added (90 for kane and 15 for spence).

That makes the net spend 27m (or 42m if Spence is kept). We will then add a right sided attacking forward to that imo (hopefully not Brennan Johnson) which will then probably see us let Perisic leave.



Edit
Damn I forgot Williams...but yeh you get the point.

If we get this kid in we'll have 2 of the top 20 ranked u20 forwards in world football according to CIES: (Scarlett ranked 20th, this kid is ranked 5th)

Funny seeing Evan Ferguson below him on the list. Was the first thing that came to mind watching HLs.

Could easily be 80-90m for Ferguson when he goes. This kid has already done more and looks younger
 
To put things into a little perspective, Alejo Véliz plays for Argentina u20's

Dane Scarlett and Alfie Devine play for England u20's

So I'd doubt Alejo Véliz would be an automatic starter for Spurs, and might struggle with the back up role, although Devine I'd certainly think could be a useful sub but would probably get more playing time on a loan.
Veliz has way more first team football than either.

Argentine league is a higher level than Devine or Scarlett have played too.

Hojberg going for 25-30m

You forgot we can sell Reguilon and get Perisic and Lloris off the wage bill. The fact is Perisic, Lloris and Ndombele leaving would be a £25m a saving over their contracts.

The fact is we have the £50m to draw down on as well. If we want to compete for stuff we need this rebuild and it is what could make Kane want to stay.
 
Pretty much everything I’ve read and heard about Orban is he’s the real deal.

Fast, strong, technically there already as a finisher and has elite dribbling with changes of direction.

The only thing I’ve read about Veliz is the tweet I shared. The guy thinks he will start for Argentina eventually but isn’t ready for the prem yet
Orban does not have elite dribbling, or anywhere near. He has good movement and great finishing. His passing is subpar from what I hear.

Veliz needs to add some muscles and like a year more experience of men's football, but he might already be ready to be Richarlison's backup.
 
No legend in my book. A top.player who fell just short when it mattered most.

Englsnd have crap players as wellI I take it.

Some people are Kane before Tottenham..

Just can't accept the facts.

I'm not Kane before club but he is a legend of this club and England for that matter.

Glenn Hoddle, who some consider to be our greatest ever player won a grand total of 2 FA Cups.

Is he a legend?

Based on what you’ve heard?

Read this that says very different:



Same account and similar Argie account very high on Veliz too.

Safe to say none of us really know right now
