yeh again another young potentially good player.
I'd rather we acquired a more proven CM and shift Hojbjerg and Lo celso the Gray. If he was a 10/15m punt then fair enough but 35m when we have a notoriously stingy chairman.
In my opinion; Archie Gray looks less promising than a 19 year old Ryan Sessegnon did 5 years ago.
Spurs just never learn.
If he signs of course I would want him to do well but; Ollie Skipp looked very decent after one full season in the Championship.
The irony of Skipp being part of the deal to bring Gray in tells you something.
Gray is 6' 2" which will probably help him in the Premier League.
Apart from that I find it difficult to be enthused.
Spurs need players for now.
I can’t wait for the 2028-29 season.
Yeah bonkers.
There was zero meltdowns about Gray to Brentford in here.
I even went and had a look at the bastion of good behavior that is Spurscommunity and their Gray thread was melt city in comparison.
This place was super level headed but still some decided to get defensive on behalf of the club. And now the deal is back on they have no idea how to feel because they should switch to saying how exciting it is but it's too soon
We paid the inflated prices for those players.
Maybe Kulusevski we negotiated our buy option down a bit?
I haven’t seen enough of him to comment
Hear Hear
Just enjoy these moments that we agree with each other mate. As soon as the TW closes we will be back to cunts offs and they will be easy to forget.
I don't have an issue with the 35m valuation. It will be more like 10-15m net if Skipp or Rodon are thrown into the deal.
We are getting rid of deadwood and replacing them with a versatile HG option with a very high ceiling. We desperately need cover for Porro and game time won't be an issue because Gray will get minutes in midfield too.
Our hit rate on signing young players has been good over the past few years so I think the chances of him being a complete dud are very low.
We have moved on from the days of 30m for Sess and 35m for Regulon etc.

Not sure we will be after Eze, doesn't really fit into our priority positions that we need to fill. Great player though.
We might be decent then but 3 managers further down the line
Also why GLC to Villa for Ramsey makes some sense too. We aen't great at selling players and it takes us forever. Tie the outs in with some refreshing of the squad, it's smart.
Gray would be a top signing for RB / DM, the guy is a huge talent and would be first team right away, even if in a squad role.
I would imagine Leeds want cash, and cash up front, they have a monster 180mil or so transfer debt with something like 60mil due this financial year.
I could see Rodon / Skipp going the other way but in a more prolonged financial scenario, with payments spread or loan with Obligation to delay the payments.
They don't have FFP issues, they have cash problems within this 12 month period related to transfer debt.

I'm banking on this because I have no idea who this kid is. But I see Udogie, Sarr, VDV etc and trust that he'll have what we need.
I have absolutely no idea how non-pros seem to know so many players from other leagues (and in different countries) and have watched them regularly enough to be able to judge how good they are. I mean, Leeds games aren't even televised that much, are they? Unless you watch players in games week in, week out, you don't really know for sure how consistent they are unless maybe you chat to their fans and trust their judgement. Certainly not by reading stats or watching brief highlights with shit beats and singing chipmunks in the background.
No offence to anyone here, but I'll trust the scouts this transfer window over the fans.
Obligatory clip fest. There is nothing not to like about this.

We can make a deal with Leeda, estimate Gray at 35 M for their accounting and loan fee 3 M to go back in one season loans . Rodon if he accepts to other ways 17 M. And Skip on one season loan with option of 20M.
I must say I’ve seen very little of Gray playing, but on paper you can see why we’re going for him as in theory he should/could be a very astute signing.
Ideally, he should come in as a prospect, covering the inverted RB position when Porro is out and be developed as another technical CM, of which you can never have too many.
He shouldn’t be brought in as our main CM signing though, but considering he’s probably going to cost give or take £40 million and be the most expensive Championship Player ever, I fear that is what we are signing him as.

Who gives a fuck what players JT wants to sign. We pay people millions of pounds to do that for us.Right about what? This a fucking transfer thread and he hasn’t talked about one fucking transfer!
Just the same myopic levy bs again and again and again. It’s also just his opinion.
He’s entitled to it and there’s a whole o th er thread for that gloom! He’s been asked 100 times on here one fucking player he’d actually like us to sign or what would be a good window in his opinion and he’s never answered!!
Probably because opining on that would lose his capacity to bitch about levy if any players he mentioned turned out shit!
It’s so fucking tiresome and guess what..
It’s not even July.
If you find his posts so boring put him on ignore. Simple stuff. Your incessant whining about him is no more tiresome.
