Tottenham have made an offer for Real Madrid forward Rodrygo with Daniel Levy leading the charge for the Brazilian’s signature, according to reports.


Can it be true?
I mean it’s almost certainly not.
 
Maybe. But our fallback options after losing a player we really didn't want to lose were Son who is in massive decline and Richarlison, who is just massively shit.
Every other team and scenario you mentioned had options. We don't. So far, our 6 league goals have come from 2 defenders, 2 midfielders, 1 forward and an own goal.
That can't really be sustained. The front 3 need to contribute the bulk of the goals with help from behind them. At the moment, the players behind are bailing the forwards out. We weren't ready to sell Kane and we haven't acted appropriately since he went.

My take is let's wait and see eh?

City sure have better players but for 2 seasons they sustained goal scoring with their MF as top scorers pre Haaland.

There is no player available to us in world football who would be a direct, like for like, proven ready-made replacement for Kane and throwing a strop (not you) because we didn't have one lined up is beyond ridiculous.

LOL like that time we "tried" to buy aguero or dybala.

Give it a rest ENIC/media PR spinners. We see through it all now.
 
Fair enough but that doesn’t stop him from playing in the U18s side or whatever to keep sharp, unless I’m mistaken and he is playing somewhere
Yeah maybe. I guess it will take a few weeks to find his feet but I'm sure there's a protocol in place that will be played out over time with him hopefully joining the first team in January. Fingers crossed.
 
So looks like some positive news coming in. If last night taught us one thing is our 2nd 11 are not scaring anybody.

It's obvious right now who our first 11 are, but injuries to any of those leave us massively exposed.

Johnson I would expect would eventually replace Kulu on the right as Solomon is not reliable enough. Equally that allows Kulu to move into a central role if needed.

Son does not have the pace anymore to play out wide, Perisic does not have 90mins in an Ange team playing out on the left either now, so makes sense someone like Fati coming in to bolster that area, again freeing up Son to play down the middle.

All this points to Richarlison not being the long term future, i fully expect to see Richarlison on the bench for some games with Son down the middle, even potentially Dane starting ahead of him.

What im interested to see is what happens with Veliz, is he currently injured? I've not seen him training or with the younger squads, I have a suspicion that we will see him on the bench towards the second half of the season with a view to getting him minutes as much as possible.

He's likely Kane and Richarlisons successor, something about this purchsse is nagging in my mind that he's likely to be very good, as the younger forwards we have are all decent quality, so what made this Veliz an essential purchase? Especially if rumors of bigger clubs trying to persuade him to join them while enrroute to the UK were true?

There's alot of silence around him currently, and I'm intrigued as to why
They sure scare the living daylights out of every Spurs supporter!
