Another experienced player we can sell and replace with some random youngsters from the LMNOP league.
Why cant we just spend the extra £18m and get Eze? a player you know is going to be transformative.
Rather than this vague notion that Frank might be able to wave a magic wand and turn a very mid player into the real deal?
For the sake of £20m transformative vs. gamble
Its always this way with Levy
This is why we aren't a serious club

Wild how far FSG have gone past ENIC
Will be shocked if Levy signs Kudus after getting so badly burned by nDombele. Kudus has very similar traits and will be a huge risk, but it's the easier and cheaper deal, so has Levy written all over it. Should be Kudus , Eze/Semenyo and a no.6, but not a hope that happens.

I understand what you're both saying and I half agree with both of you. I just don't see it being worth our while. I agree kudus is type of player missing from our attack but spending big beans on him is a punt imo. 8 goals and 6 assists is probably the best he will ever see. Semenyo whilst being more expensive would be a much safer pirchase BUT I understand Bournemouth are asking too much so we are looking for cheaper.
I'd even argue that we would be better off going cheaper again than kudus and going for someone like bakayoko (40m ish?) instead and add any money saved towards a cm/dm.
Kudus just screams middle road that will not satisfy either end of the spectrum yet will cost alot.
He will not be a talisman, a leader, somebody that takes our attack to a whole new level adding experience. (Raphinha, rodrygo)
Nor is he an uber talentented younster that is going to become that player (barcola, doue)
And before anybody laughs at those player examples I gave then let me just say...
Raphinha with 2 years on his contract.would be the perfect type of player to lead a team like ours, and 2 years on his contract.
Rodrygo could be on the market and if so there's not many that could afford him, we SHOULD be one of them. If scum can despite having multiple players over 150k then we sure should.
Doue and barcola we both had a chance at if we went hard enough, soon enough.
Yes and thats why we are always goling to be mid under these owners, buy mid players and then expect coaches to perform miracles.,Eze doesn't want to come here. We will always be unable to buy the best players because we don't offer competitive salaries. If you want more than £100k a week you can't consider Tottenham.
(Two of) Eze/Semenyo/Kudus + a holding mid/#6 sounds about right… assuming we can keep Romero.Prefer Semenyo to Kudus. Two footed, works really hard without the ball, his underlying numbers (XG90/XA90) are way better than Kudus.
Thanx for reminding me that half our squad needs to go out on loan to Championship sides. Yip, Levy sure can pick them.(Two of) Eze/Semenyo/Kudus + a holding mid/#6 sounds about right… assuming we can keep Romero.
Spence and Gray are fullback options.
Loan Moore, Donley, Devine, Dorrington, Scarlett (or Lankshear), and Yang to Championship clubs.
Loan (one of) Vuskovic or Phillips to a Bundesliga club.
Raphinha, Rodrygo, Doue or Barcola wouldn't be interested in the least of coming to Spurs.
Which is a sad indictment of what we've becomeRaphinha, Rodrygo, Doue or Barcola wouldn't be interested in the least of coming to Spurs.
The thing is that you know if Ange was still here, half these posts wouldn’t even exist. Not like he’s even really wrong either, just funny that the anger is almost entirely coming from his pain over Ange.There's an entire thread for Other Transfers.
There are other threads for Chelsea, Woolwich, Liverpool, Villa and any other club you want to idolize.
You probably won't get the attention you're looking for there, but they do exist.
Maybe if we hadn't stupidly spent cash on Tel and that Japanese kid, we could afford Bowen.Bowen would basically fix our front line, can shoot, can assist, can dribble, can press, can hold up the ball all to great standard. I’d take him over Mbeumo or Chuna. I’d love us to try it but can’t see it, can’t see us throwing £80-90m.
