This is a funny thread to scroll through. Good reminder of how delusionally optimistic fans tend to be on their own players. Could say the same for some of our current lot I will refrain from naming.

Lot of reports linking us with Doue.
I am not that sold on him. He is mainly a LW who can play at 10. He is similar to Eze though not as good. A younger, cheaper inferior version. Why do we want spend £50m on a player behind Sonny on the wing and behind Maddison in the 10. A £50m back up player.
We've already brought in a couple of exciting 18yos for the future and that is great. Now we are in desperate need to improve the starting side which in turn will improve our depth. Not buying back up players as depth.
I know the club has been burnt a couple of times with their big money purchases but you can't get gun shy, you've got to pull the trigger on a couple of starting players.

If it's a choice Eze over Doue is an easy pick for me
He rarely coughs up the ball through a bad touch. He’ll get brushed off of it back to goal sometimes but that’s more use of the body/lack of core strength and how the team move the ball.
At the moment anyway he’s not a come towards the ball receive it back to goal and turn type of winger and might not ever be one but if you have other players in the final third who can do it then that’s fine. That’s where the problems were last season. It was all a bit 1 dimensional. There’s more than 1 type of wide player, you also need someone to threaten the spaces in behind without the ball to stretch teams and open up spaces
Strikes me the keepers often wait as they know Toney looks for them to move . If you don’t wait and go the right way you have a chance , if you wait and the penalty is decent you have no chance . Toney’s record speaks for itself , go early he rolls it the other side , delay and you can’t get there regardless
He's a better fit than Eze in our system, I don't know where this notion if Eze playing on the wing has come from when he doesn't even play there for Palace.
I don't know what our fans see in Richarlison, its mental how so many people have this blind faith in him as if he's seen sort of elite player.
He had a good ten games when his touch was nice and he scored goals but that’s the exception
watched him play for england on Saturday (yes only a few minutes) but he wasn't playing as an Left winger
I want my Left winger to be able to go on the outside and NOT have to cut in or play the ball backwards (like what happens when its a right footer on the left)
Yup, he's an inside 10 not an outside winger.
Watch the pen again, it’s on bbc footie site. He watches the keeper the whole time but STILL puts it on the side the keeper goes! It wasn’t even in the corner. His looked ballsey but was actually the worst pen. His was the luckiest of ours.
Sure, he’s got self-belief, but it’s not that well founded.
‘Arrogance and confidence’ – England’s perfect Euro penalties
For years England fans, players and pundits have feared the very mention of penalty shootouts - but thanks to new-found confidence and in-depth preparation, that is no longer the case.www.bbc.co.uk
By watching the keeper it stops keepers diving early making it harder to get to the corner of the goal. Most penalty saves are when the keeper goes early and guesses the right way
Eze started out as a winger at QPR and than progressed to the 10.
Get it done fast don't we ever learn
There's a reason why he doesn't play as a winger anymore.
Of course there is. He's a better 10 than he is a winger.
I must admit I am getting a bit edgy that we still haven’t secured a new forward. There is a lot of unfounded talk about Eze, Doue etc but what we need is a proper centre forward that replaces Kane. Son is better on the left, Richarleson is not good enough, Veliz too young. I can only think/hope the player we are after is still involved in the Euros
And Doue is a better natural winger than Eze...
This player is wanted by Chelsea, Bayern and PSG to name a few....so unless Spurs come with an offer they can't refuse and which is much better than other clubs going in early wouldn't make any difference.
