Summer Transfer thread - 2024

[Shotgunofmichalebrow]

Combine that with everything we're hearing about Lange's outlook for the club (i.e. big data) and the fact that some of our best new players this season like Vicario and Micky were absolutely not the top of anyone's list (if even known before we were linked), then anyone kidding themselves that we're going to target signings from their rating in Fifa Ultimate Team are on a hiding to nothing.

Or looking ahead for their next grievance to complain about come the summer, who knows.

Personally I've got faith in this recruitment team looking at the past couple of windows. We seem a lot more sound in our incomings that the Ndombele and Lo Celso window.

I have faith mostly in Fabio Paratici's talent ID. The data driven approach seems a little over-sold.

 

[Shadydan]

Not really.

If Williams isn't available for one reason or another who is your 2nd pick?

 

[Richard Arlison]

Oh well, just got to cry then

Because you know we are signing him?

 

[Ed Vanderlay]

One of those waiting to explode at the right club.

We have already had fatty N’Dombele blow up

 

[Shadydan]

Because you know we are signing him?

Nah just not putting all my hopes in the Williams or bust bucket.

If we pay up, he’s available.

Eze will be the club's superstar (whatever that means) signing, everyone should be happy with that.

Not really sure where he would fit in? Can only really see him in the Maddison role. Would be great for quality in depth but would cost a lot of money for a non guaranteed starter

 

[Starks]

Allison and VVD are world class, have been for 5 years and have been well worth the money imo

Not really the point.

 

[NotThatTedHughes]

If we pay up, he’s available.

Yeah, it’s not like he’ll have a say in where he goes.

 

[Zomb]

Yeah, it’s not like he’ll have a say in where he goes.

We pay the most money and show faith in his ability, he’ll get on board

Probably as a LW/CM hybrid, I'm sure I read that the club are earmarking him for that role

He's played as a LM before...

ThinkFabio surrounded himself with data people as well. his biggest asset is his contacts and knowing the contract situations of each player and which deals can get done.

Bit early to judge mate.....

Besides; most of the proverbial 'selling' is just fan-chatter based on like one line in a club press release and a few comments from clickbait-for-hipsters like The Athletic.

If it's gonna pay off though; it can't be some dogmatic belief in a spreadsheet... It will have to have a degree of synergy with the human eye and the instincts of the scouts.

I'd like to think it is the starting point for player identification; rather than the deciding force upon whether to buy someone or not.

There aren't many Spurs fans that really think we will compete for Williams.

There is just plenty that think we could and should.

 

[cretinousgoat]

Less Dragusin less Solomon

Neither player has had anywhere near enough game time for you to make that judgment you stupid trolling clown

Take It Eze:

I like de Ketelaere.

No idea if he’s for sale.

Good player.

Where would you play him in our system? False 9?

It's worked pretty well for Brighton, Liverpool, Villa and Brentford.

Supposedly Madrid are in the mix.
We are not competing against them — particularly for a Spanish player.
It’s also been suggested that both Liverpool and Woolwich want to add a winger. If that’s the case, all things being equal, why come to Tottenham?

Because we are the greatest club the world has ever seen.

Duh.
