Yeah, Openda had Madrid (was it?) carved open a Few times and absolutely fucked it 3/4 times in the first half.He’s a slack arse. He’s very wasteful but produces moments of brilliance. He’s a frustrating player. Sesko is not the finished article but is centre forward. Big,strong,quick,very good movement and can finish. This summer is the time to go for him because in a years time he’ll be too expensive and likely to succeed Harry at Bayern.
The Fulham FB?Regarding full-backs next season:
Out:
Emerson - doesn't fit Angelos' system and he's too good to be a perennial bench player.
Sessegnon - far too injury prone
Reguilon - injury prone
Incoming:
LB:
Samuel Illing-Junior or Alfie Doughty or Miguel Gutiérrez
RB:
Kyriani Sabbe or Michael Kayode
Not against it at all.Based on nothing but a hunch, I think Openda becomes our striker target this summer. Right price range, playing style, age and very consistent scoring record in multiple leagues.
Sesko has been really hit and miss when I've seen him play.Would be typical Spurs to go to Leipzig and come back with the wrong striker.
Antonee Robinson is turning 27 next season, so I presume he's at a stage in his career where he will want to be the 1st choice.
Racing tracks, and hotels to buildBeggars belief we have no backup full backs even though they have been fundamental to how we play for the last 10 years.
Spurs have never had a reliable 22 under levy

Backup players weren't a priority, we had loads of holes to fill first.
He is. He is obviously not fully developed but he has a huge ceiling we have a narrowing window to add a potential top level forward and its worth the risk at the numbers quoted. Certainly over Ivan Toney.I think Sesko is a much better option for what we need than Openda is.
is there a team other than City that genuinely has a reliable 22?Beggars belief we have no backup full backs even though they have been fundamental to how we play for the last 10 years.

Ramos would be great, but we're not getting a striker from PSG are we?Caught some of PSG v Lyon tonight.
If PSG are determined to replace Bappe and or keep Simons, there has to be some of those forwards that need a game elsewhere:
Barcola - Think he's a massive massive talent that is just about to explode. They might be dumb enough to do it.
Ramos - Scored twice and was a very interesting CF profile for what we need. Mobile enough to press, quick enough to get in behind, strong enough to bring others into the play, can finish. His header was a beauty.Jaynola this is your shout and I'm wondering if they might actually do it.
Kolo Muani - Didn't do much but has a similar profile to Isak. Could be resurrected IMO.
For Lyon Ernest Nuamah was the only bright spot and he was really bright. Scored a great goal, hit the post and that PSG left side couldn't deal with him at all. He will end up at a bigger club this summer because he can really fucking dribble and has pace to go with it.
I honestly don’t know…Ramos would be great, but we're not getting a striker from PSG are we?

We have an under 23 team, any full Backs in it?Beggars belief we have no backup full backs even though they have been fundamental to how we play for the last 10 years.

I'd happily take Désiré Doué as he can play both as WF and OM.
He's turning 19 this summer, so still young.

There's no way PSG are coughing up Barcola this summer, the time to move on him was last summer:
Transfers - The Great Rebuild Summer 2023
This has been the refrain literally every summer since I've followed the club. I wish I could believe we were capable of doing the volume of business (never mind the net financial investment) to complete an overhaul of the squad and dressing room culture, but none of the available evidence...thefightingcock.co.uk
