Summer Transfer thread - 2024

[Matt1882]

Bissouma recovered his form back end of the season. Kulusevski was burned out from playing every position under the sun. Richarlison never lost his form, just got injured. Son actually looked better than he did most of the season in the last few games at LW. Maddison is a fair observation and he has admitted his form fell off.

When you have a whole squad injury crisis, Asia Cup and Afcon all in the same season, whilst already adjusting to a new system and losing your best player, it will effect the whole squad, not just the player involved.

I'm 50/50 on whether to admire your optimism or laugh at it.

I didn't notice Bissouma recover any form. Son scored 3 in our last 10 games. 1 was a penalty and 1 was at 4-1 down at Liverpool.
The only big goal he scored was the winner against Luton which was an 86th minute winner. And that was the first of our last 10.
Even out of position that's woeful really.

We reset now but a big part of me expects to see many of the same problems as next season gets under way.

 

[To Dare Is To Do.]

Can we ban any football insider and Peter O Rourke links for the rest of the window?

I get that loads of them bullshit but this guy doesn’t even try to be credible

Fully agree

Ok

Edit: i don’t agree obviously but if we have a season as disrupted as last season this time, Pep wouldn’t do shit either.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Yeah, don't think he would be either CT or HG for UEFA comps because they only start counting the 3 years from the season you turn 15 and he left England at 16. Would be HG for the Prem but would take up an overseas slot for UEFA so not ideal.

Shit I tagged the wrong poster.

It’s you that’s on top of this. Appreciate the info mate.


Spursidol Siri mate


If Madueke isn’t HG or CT it’s a pointless signing. He’s decent but there will be better out there

 

[Hotspurpaul]

nice

140 is still my best.

I'm actually pretty consistent these days, I'd say my average is 40ish per 3 darts but hit my trips and dubs pretty well.

I threw a dart that stuck into the flight of my first dart the other day. Felt like fucking Robin Hood.

Got a bull finish the other night too....
Been playing darts for years tbf, have the odd trophy......even have the beer belly to go with it!......☹
Keep it up anyway......

 

[Spursidol]

He’s HG but not CT but Spursidol is the don daddy for these things

Nope, neither.

Left UK declining an academy scholarship after being Spurs u16 captain, and joined Chelsea aged about 20/21 so can never get in the 3 years registered in England from the age of 15 to 21 necessary to be HG.

How much was Udogie in that window?

Which one? The one with the waggly tail

Seems he’s been badly advised tbh

HG status is worth waiting for

Also you see that penalty fiasco. He seems a bit of a dick tbh. He’s probably too hard headed to listen to anyone

 

[White Hart]

Bissouma went downhill. Son went downhill. Maddison went downhill. Kulu went downhill. Bentancur came back and never got up the hill. Richarlison got up the hill then came back down the hill. Sarr went downhill. PEH could sometimes spend the last 20 minutes of a game at the top of the hill, but that was it.
When it's 1 or 2 players you question the the players. When it's half of your best 11, there's another problem.

No room on the hill that’s why they went down hill……that’s Jack and Jill’s fault.

 

[White Hart]

spending that Eze money

now stop messing about with Gallagher and move on, a) he's a average run about a bit player b) he is Chelsea through and through and does not what to play elsewhere, especially Tottenham.

Not spending Eze money, Kamala is on a free.

 

[TottsAmazeballs]

It's been going on for about 4 years. Yet people still fall for it.

Waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy longer.

Left Spurs in 2018 as no chance of first team games (this was under Poch) - he did a video interview a few months later so that was quite clear - joining PSV as he was almost certain to get game time ..... and he did.

So I think he and his advisors decided playing time at PSV meant more than HG status, and to be fair it earned a lucrative move to Chelsea aged 21 - now needs to ensure he gets playing time to continue his career (unlike say Drinkwater who joined Chelsea from Leicester ...... and stopped playing for 5 years, so pretty much lost his career)

 

[r-u-s-x]

We thought that last summer but then nobody wanted to pay us even a fiver for him, so who knows.

Fulham were willing to pay, he considered them beneath him

 

[Cranston]

I can only speak on my behalf, but I don’t think people are falling for it.

It’s just good fun. Transfer speculation is a hoot. We get to throw names around, laugh about things and speculate.

I’d suggest the ones that get uptight about it are taking things a little too seriously.

eze wage money then

SC WLB:

Ange likes garner at Everton.

on Neto:
Anges dream . Club trying to stay under the radar for this one but believe ange Lange may have sold the player the dream . Jorge might be an issue as he’s a crafty fuck and can’t be trusted . He’s gettable in fees tho wages are steep but in line
His profile to a tee . Can play both sides is dynamic and is a one vs one specialist . Gains you 15/20 plus goals from different plays. Few would be 55/60 mill.

I’m not saying he will be a spurs player yet ! But the management love him. I do find it hard to see both him and eze tbh but ange wants both . If the strategy doesn’t come off they have another route .

 

[John Thomas]

II can't remember how I rated the transfer window in that thread but I'll give it 5/10 now

What! Is that it!. .Not 9 or 10

Was mentioning this earlier.

So WLB claims to know that Neto is Ange's dream signing and that it's Ange that like Garner.

They have given up trying to be credible now.

If we were looking at other of those players it would be because the budget to sign them suits our needs more than a more expensive first choice.
