Think Ederson is more of an 8 than a 6 , good player though
Leeds United news: Released Whites youngster signs two-year deal with Spurs
All you doubters who thought we weren’t signing anyone………now where’d we leave those pacifiers

Isn’t he an actual number 9 though or am I mistaken.
It’s our issue though. Kudus might end up £65m but if we fail and buy a lesser player for £40m we do what keeps us in our place, stockpiling mediocrity. I’d rather give Odobert or Solomon the chance to own the RW if we just end up down the punt route.
You can always get the great value signing like Bergvall but a lot of the time if you want a player you have to pay a bit on top. £60m is the going rate for half decent prem forward these days sadly and Kudus does offer a skillset we simply don’t have.
I can forgive the club for not getting Mbeumo, he wants United, is what it is. Chelsea can’t buy until they move 1-2 anyway so we have a window to get this done.
Good player
Surely a deal won't be difficult with him, considering he's owned by Nice and we are in a legal battle with Jim Radcliffe...
We've actually got a fairly full squad - two players too many to fit into CL squad for example.
Now the players are back, some last week, but the majority back as from Monday it will be a lot easier for Frank :
1 To ask certain players if they want to be here next season or leave - the obvious ones being Bissouma, Romero and Richardlison. And players hearing from the manager they might not get much playing time if at Spurs next season may help some players exit (especially with a World Cup in 2026) ...... providing their next club wants to pay a reasonable fee (unlike AM who want to pay half price, even though AM are loaded from CL money) to help fund a replacement. I'd suggest bids need to be above Bissouma 25m, Romero 55m, Richarlison 40m.
2 To actually see all the players in training and work out how to fit them into 'systems' that he's comfortable in playing. That may trigger changes that Frank will want in current players or a need for further changes in playing staff
3 Spurs, for the first time in years, have a number of youngsters with some experience of playing professional football, many who will not take up a squad place in CL or PL who could usefully be added to enlarge the squad. Obvious names are Donley, Devine, Vuskovic but there's possibly as many as 10 players. This may be the first time Frank can see them closeup and decide which may be useful additions to the squad.
Still 6 weeks left to end of transfer window, and actually most PL clubs have not signed more than about one player (if any) , so its not panic stations yet. Frank seeing and talking to the players next week for the first time is a big step forward by itself, and may well confirm things he knew, and also things he didn't previously know !

Ex employee
He is apparently West Ham’s main guy for info.
Issue is our problem is RW. I have expect us to get another Tel LW/CF signings instead and end up with an unbalanced attack m.
I dont think we have a unbalanced attack at all. Ofcourse we dont have the profile of player like Kudus.
For me, this window we need to bring in 2 players atleast to upgrade the XI.
Ederson (Atalanta) & Douglas Luiz - completely transforms the midfield....If we do that, I dont care about RW - I think we can do well with Kulu & Johnson.
My preference is still a no6 & RW. Just saying, if we cant land Kudus but we upgrade elsewhere thats ok for me too.
Cl never matters anyway because the window is the exact same all the time
Are we actually surprised the Kudus saga is going this why?
Levy sniffed out a potential cheaper deal due to West Ham’s financial trouble, soon realised it isn’t going to be as cheap as he thought and is now dwelling on it (with the hope Chelsea outbid us) so he can sit with the ‘we tried’ excuse.
We’ll end up with Tyler Dibbling in the last week of the window, with a hope he turns out ok. It’s Bryan Gil all over again.
