So basically Gomes is a tackling machine. But can't really do much else?
Ancelotti said they're done with transfers. Not that that should mean anything. Doubt we'd sell, though, unless they offer the £150m Levy quoted them. If that's the case, I'd take it and go after the most promising 22-23 year old out there. If this is the year that we bed in the youth, would make sense.
Might even have a go at Chalobah, who's a pretty good CB in his own right and is out of favor at Chelsea.
Slow news day for us but some fans are happy !

graphs tell you a bit about a player, and a bit about the team they play for. Don't know much about Gomes but you'd imagine his passing numbers would be in and around Sarr's if he played for us
Yeah, always hard to gauge.
Lemina and Bellegardes passing stats aren't great either so likely a team issue.
I'm happy with the foundation but next summer has to be ruthless if we want to actually compete at the top.
We've basically cleared the deadwood so next summer will be about upgrading in key areas which means selling established figures to make space.
I reckon we move on 3 of the 6 below:
- Son, Johnson, Kulu, Biss, Bentancur, Richarlison
Aim should then be getting an elite 6 and elite RW (Leave LW for Odobert/Moore/Yang).
Outside of that I think we just need a backup keeper and LC/LCB to have a pretty well rounded squad.
Absolutely agree on part one of your post.
The fragility of potential is the assumption it is unaffected by paucity.
Bergvall and Gray are possibly players who will do well in the future No guarantees whatsoever. In fact less than more likely.
They willbe snapped-up if we are languishing for the next couole of years.
Those who are placing confidence and trust in Postecoglou are taking huge leaps of faith
Why a club of our size would take such a risk is beyond me.
Wilson Palacios mark II then
Or a more athletic Palhinha, whose passing stats are absolutely embarrassing for a top level footballer. (though again, could be team and system)
Are you on the piss at the moment?
I don't think we will get another midfielder through the door, I think apart from out goings that's our business done.
I hope he’s ready, it’s fucking boiling down there…
This is what was posted yesterday on SC by one of their ITK-oracles
João Gomes
Doesn’t get the cleanest of connections? Thanks Alan you **** Wrong thread! But agree, it was a perfect glancing header.spurscommunity.co.uk

Right.....
Slight pinch of salt required here as I haven't had anything from this person before but I do know a coach from Wolves (happy to share behind the scenes).
He said we had been in contact re Gomes and the feeling from within Wolves is we will pay what Wolves are looking for (around £50m is internal rumours - add ons included). Apparently talks have been positive thus far and there is a feeling from both sides that a deal could be reached this week.
He has no shame that Hotspur88… been outed as a complete fraud but continues to desperately make shit up in the hope something sticks. Even his total guesses are appalling. He has now posted again after POK confirmed Gomes not been approached:
“Really surprised to hear we apparently have no interest in Gomes. I trust the guy I know explicitly and so even if we aren't now pursuing a deal for him, he was absolutely adamant that we had been in contact with Wolves. Now, this may have been a while back and maybe he's just got hold of the info further down the line but he said we 100% have spoken to them about him. As always, only passing on in good faith”
He has got lots of likes and thanks for his pathetic back tracking.
Another transitional season, maybe we'll get lucky in a cup.
How long will Ange last? At this rate, I'm thinking until October.
Better pray Vicario and Udogie never get injured or suspended.

Levy just HAS to stick with Ange this season and let the many recent/ new signings settle in, hiring and firing for 5+ years has been nothing but a disaster. Obviously the exception is if we're heading for a bottom half finish.Another transitional season, maybe we'll get lucky in a cup.

Whether the Board and the fans have the patience is another question.
I doubt it. Inevitable last week loan to buy deal incoming. We just can’t resist those,
At what cost?
At what point are things so bad he has to go?
You can't say relegation is fine.
Took us 4 years to fit Ndombele through the door.
