Injured before we buy him, typical.

There will obviously be a new signing before the Shakhtar game.
Maybe more than one.
Prepare to be disappointed!
(Business as usual of being a Spurs fan!)
The court case against him is still ongoing due to an appeal against his sentence. He had a bomb threat at his house in 2022.
I'm not suggesting he has been affected but it ain't gonna help.
Mickey comes with a built in song so we don't have to read pages of contrived pop lyrics twisted all out of shape for weeks. That's worth something.
Kane isn't bad most of the time, but certainly not all of the time.
I didn't really watch much of them this year, but did skim through 5/6 games in Footballia.net to get the gist of him.
Ultimately would say hes a very promising player, and a good balance to what Romero offers. Crazy ball carrier, good and crisp passer without having immense passing range, recovery pace and ability to deal with balls down the channel are why I imagine we want him.. probably uniquely good at cleaning up a dangerous situation before it even has the chance to develop.
Not aggressive in the air, doesn't head away corner kicks, few little issues with jockying and engaging with a ball carrier, I think he's well worth signing to be honest. Good option for LB as well if we sign another CB. Like the idea of doing Emerson/Udogie and Porro/VdV if we had another cb meriting a start.
Does he fix our defence? I'm not sure what cb fixes a defence with Pedro Porro in it. I think he'll add a lot, his pace paired with Romero's agression could be a key to controlling games and dominating the ball. You'd definitely want to see him using his size to dominate aerial challenges more often as time passes.
Van de Ven is a raw prospect by all accounts- great potential but has a lot to learn after only one year in top European football.
Happy if we sign him, but he needs to come along with a CB who is ready.

They probably want him on a cheap loan deal or something. Do RS or any Spanish team outside the top 3 have £10m plus to spend on Reguillon? Id love to be wrong but I seriously doubt i am.
As I said earlier too no clubs were exactly breaking down the door to sign him last year either when he was in the scrap heap
As the great man Ricky G once said: "Opinions don't affect facts. But facts should affect opinions."
Make of that what you will.
11 people at least think I'm wrong and Kane has the medals to prove it. Honestly jokers.
I think they’re both willing to go. If I were Dav then I couldn’t get out quick enough. Dier has already made it clear he has no intention of leaving.
Rodon and Dav are current internationals. They need game-time to stay sharp and in the international picture. They are 25 and 27 respectively with probably two more contracts (in Rodon’s case the greater part of his pro career) in front of them. They want to play. We do have some leverage over them.
Dier’s international career is done. All he’s playing for is a (very much) reduced contract on a final go around. The difference in salary between what Spurs are paying him this season and signing a new contract probably represents a season’s salary on his next contract anyway and he’ll be able to negotiate a sign on fee. We have absolutely no leverage over him.
It could be that Dier is deluded enough to think he’s going to be a regular and Ange deluded enough to agree but, if I were to guess, I’d say that isn’t the case and we’re being forced to keep him around.
They're playing CL football this year so they have some spending money.
Tim (who's one of the good guys in the media) knows his shit when it comes to South American footy. I think he's being fair in the point he's making.
But let's see what the kid's got within the next couple years. I'm fine with us spending that sort of cash on that kind of low-risk/high-reward gamble.
Pay up his contract - start with 50%
Neither Dier or Ange are deluded.
Dier is an excellent CB who is recovering from an operation (?) and is not fully fit.
When fit I expect him to feature in many games for THFC this season.
I expect him to do well as he normally does. If he does better than well there ain't many better English CBs than him so I would not be surprised if he returns to England duty.
He played for England in the World Cup.
And he is not for sale.
