One of the reasons I always want us to avoid their declining assets like the plague.

All in all I’d want us to go for Adingra, yes he’s raw but we’re crying out for his profile.

That Anthony & Gordon take in particular could not have aged worse.

I'm pretty sure they've won back to back trophies since that specific window, something we defo avoid like the plague but no you're right, our strategy of paying for the raw players is defo working out.
 
Don't know enough about Coman, I'd prefer we went for Kubo or Adingra over Raphinha. I get that I'm probably in the minority on that though.
That's debatable. Raphinha doesn't want to leave Barca, so there's a Red flag straight away.

As for Kubo and Adingra, I haven't got a Scooby, as I've never really watched either of them play. However, if they're the right fit, then I'll be happy with either if the club have done their homework, and they deem either as suitable.
 
All Spanish release clauses have to be made in one payment.

Ange/Spurs wouldn't need to be told, they would have known that or at least should have.
I still think the upfront payment schtick is an excuse though. There's absolutely nothing to stop us getting a bank loan to cover that, then pay the sum off over the course of the contract. Not really that much different to any staggered payments terms we would agree with a club, apart from interest.

It has been widely reported that Williams only wants Barca, but to not at least test that resolved, if he was up there at the top of our wishlist, is poor.

Williams would have ripped the PL a new one IMO.
 
I've asked Co-Pilot the simple question of
"What player should Tottenham Hotspur buy for the coming seasson"

The AI response:

Ah, the eternal question for football fans: Who should Tottenham Hotspur sign to bolster their squad? 🤔 Let’s dive into this like a well-executed corner kick, shall we?
Tottenham has already been quite active in the transfer market during the summer of 2024. Here are some of their notable signings:
  1. Lucas Bergvall (CM): The Swedish midfielder arrived from Djurgardens IF for a fee of £8.4 million1. He’s expected to add depth and creativity to the midfield.
  2. Archie Gray (RB): A young talent, Gray was acquired from Leeds United for a hefty £30 million. His versatility as a right-back could prove valuable for Spurs1.
  3. Dominic Solanke (CF): The big-money signing! Tottenham splashed out £65 million to secure Solanke from Bournemouth. As a center forward, he’ll be tasked with finding the back of the net consistently1.
Now, let’s peek into the crystal ball and consider who else might be a realistic target for Tottenham:
Remember, though, football transfers are like a high-stakes game of chess—strategies, negotiations, and timing all come into play. But hey, it’s all part of the beautiful game! ⚽
If you’re curious about how Tottenham might line up in the upcoming season, Ange Postecoglou (their manager) has been implementing a bold approach. You can check out FootballTransfers’ predicted starting XI for 2024-25 here3.
Is there anything else football-related you’d like to chat about? Maybe we can even discuss the best pre-match rituals or the joy of celebrating a last-minute winner! 😄👟⚽

Kinell! Was that AI programmed by a boxer?

Haven't seen that much ducking and weaving since Naseem Hamed.
 
Unfortunately, this makes perfect sense and explains exactly why we haven’t been able to get the winger we need.

What does Scott Munn fucking do if Levy is negotiating transfers? And what happened to Levy stepping away from the football side of things?

Did anyone ever believe that?

What experience in transfers does he have more to the point? He's a fucking commercial bod from the other side of the world. It's crazy the club is being run by him.
