Ideally a world class player to replace one.

He wants out. If ENIC had any ambition, we'd be signing world class stars. They never do.

Yeah I'm sure Mbappe would rather join a Spurs team without Europe than wait a single season to join a star studded Madrid team on one million pounds a week when that's been his dream move since he was about 12.

I hate ENIC more than anyone but fucking hell it's not their fault we aren't signing Mbappe. Even with oil tycoons we wouldn't be signing him.

Tbf I did have Veliz bookmarked as a potential Harry successor, hopefully he hits the ground running as I think he's a goal machine with the right players around him, but a big gamble as he's so young.

Richarlison was gurning about not playing so time for him to put his money where his mouth is, will be telling if Scarlett goes away on loan again I think.

There's a young Serbian at Atalanta who I think could end up a smasher, but as for right now and who we could get...I don't know.

Would love them to throw some money at Mbappe or something if they were really ambitious.

Still waiting on the ENIC world class signing, last one to the club was Klinsmann.

Lets be serious here for a moment. I'm the most anti-Levy guy out here and even I can't slag him off for not trying to sign Mbappe.

I don't know what planet some of our fans live on.

He’s got a much higher chance of being Soldado than he does of being a top class center forward for us lol. The guy is still a raw ball of clay. And no never in his life will he be as good as Haaland, who is a once-in-a-generation physical freak with an AI for instincts and agility. Nor will he ever be Kane, or Son for that matter, let’s just put that to bed as it’s completely unrealistic.

If he actually becomes as good as Callum Wilson that is in the top 10% of outcomes we can hope for. I’m all for hype and hope but people have gotten extremely carried away.

Is there any reason he can't be as good as Osimhen? Cause he's outscoring him by a lot compared to when Osimhen was in Belgium.

Lukaku was probably younger. How old was Benteke? That bloke Villa signed who disappeared off the face of the planet?

21 is pretty old to still be stuck in the Belgian league if you're some wonder talent tbh.

If he'll be as good as prime Lukaku then we should have no complaints. Benteke was never that good in Belgium.

It's insane that you're saying he's old for Belgium when he was without a club 18 months ago, sort yourself out.

I’m just not convinced that his physical profile and ways of impacting the game have the ceiling that an Osimhen had, bc Osimhen is basically Haaland level in terms of height strength and pace and pure bullying of defenders.

I just don’t want people to be disappointed is all. He has some special finishing qualities and Ange has made quick last man finisher types like Kyogo work in our system. But we were blessed with a world class striker for a decade and we’re about to find out what it’s like not to have one.

No.

Feel free to hype up Belgian league goals. Feel free to make out being 21 and scoring there is really impressive.

He could be great, but whatever he's doing over there means nothing to me. Scoring in a league where Janssen and Onuachu bag doesn't mean you're ready for the Premier League.

Nobody is saying he's ready for the Premier League, people are saying he clearly has potential, you're just moaning aimlessly because you just have to do that I guess.

No I'm just not some happy clappy twat who has to hype up everything even remotely linked with Spurs even though I've never watched these players and almost nothing I say ever actually comes true .. I guess.

Who is moaning anyway? It's just a different opinion to you. He's not even signed for Spurs yet, there's not even a concrete link that we've bidded.
