One of our best transfers in modern history was pinching Luka Modric before Euro 2008. If we waited until after that tournament he would've gone to Madrid 4 years before he did.. if not a peak Man Utd or a Bayern or someone like that. But because we acted quickly, we got to see one of the midfielders in history at our place for 4 years.. And really he helped change the perception and future of the club. Would we have got that first champions league season without him? Probably not.
Why do we refuse to learn from anything? Be it our failures or few successes.. Nico Williams was the one to try and get done before this tournament started. It might have already have been a fight with Barca, Liverpool or so on, but there may have been a small chance that they blinked and were unsure, allowing us to go in. This tournament has and will continue to raise his stock to a level that we can't get him. I had the same fear that something would happen with Eze.. But luckily it doesn't seem like he's gonna get too much of a chance.
Why go after a kid who only wants to join Barca? Actually, that could apply to both of them lads.
Best case scenario would be we get Simons on loan, but other than that it ain't happening.
Really hope it won’t happen. I’m from Poland and except Zieliński - I don’t see anyone that could be useful in our team. Maybe Kiwior as Udogie/Vdv backup but he is at Woolwich so out of debate. As a cheap punt - it’s better to take a look at Urbański from Bologna than SzymańskiTottenham ready to put €20m on the table - Spurs to sit down for talks quickly - Sport Witness
According to a claim in the Turkish media, Tottenham Hotspur are still interested in signing Fenerbahce forward Sebastian Szymanski ahead of this summer’s transfer window. The playmaker has been linked with a move to Spurs in recent weeks and it seems they are now prepared to make their move for...sportwitness.co.uk
According to the news publication Aslinda we are after Sebastian Szymanski and ware willing to spend €20mil on him
Played under Arne Slot when we were after him
Would be a no from me on Chiesa, which is a shame. Good player, actually like him a lot, but he's just not that guy right now. We can't keep stocking up on 6/7 out of 10 attacking players when we already have Kulu, Johnson, Richarlison, Solomon. At least bring in a younger guy with the skills to become a top player.
Whatever about Neto's injury record, if you buy him you have a guy who projects to be extremely high level when he is on the field. Need some great scouting find to pop out of the blue this summer, because it's fairly obvious that Williams, Olise aren't going to happen for us. Quietly, I'm kinda cool on Eze as well for 70m. Would be an exciting, enjoyable signing. Not sure it's what we need or the best use of funds, but he's a fun player.

Szymański? There is a player in there, good with the ball but weak physically, was very promising at some point. But he never delivered anything special when playing for national team, and his numbers from Fenerbahce are mostly based on his purple patch period in first part of season. Definitely not Tottenham player level.What type of player is he? Looks fast and his numbers are decent

Think it's pretty much common knowledge in Spain that Nico wants Barca, no? I know a few Valencia fans, I'll ask them what the crack is.Thing is, we don’t really know what either of them want. Barca are very happy with it being reported that players only want them
Yeah don't want him either. 25yo, light as a feather and he's never set the world alight.Really hope it won’t happen.

Zieliński already sealed as free agent by Inter MilanYeah don't want him either. 25yo, light as a feather and he's never set the world alight.
Would be a proper C-list signing. But obviously always a chance he could find another 3 or 4 gears and tear the PL a new one. But enough of them gambles, please Uncle Danny.
Zielinski, on the other hand...
Say we need 4 or 5 elite players to genuinely challenge, and that they each cost circa 60 mil...you shouldn't even feel reserved cause we've got more than enough cash to get it all done.On Eze, it’s not that I’m reserved about signing him. I think he’s amazing. I am reserved on the budget for other positions if we sign him.
FUCK YOU LEVY YOU BALD CHEAP CUNT.Zieliński already sealed as free agent by Inter Milan
