The fee will most likely be paid over 5 years, so it's either 10 mill a year or 13 mill a year. No big deal tbh for a 600 mill a year entertainment company
Not Levy's money tho is it.....
^ The shape of our squad if we do manage to buy Kudus.
Left out players who should be sold (Davies, Gil, Solomon etc.) and youngsters who we should ease in or loan (Takai, Vuskovic, Yang, Moore etc.)
Given our HG situation in Europe... we're going to need to be ruthless with player sales.
Of the players in that squad picture, I think Richarlison and one of Bissouma or Bentancur should be sold. Son too, if he wants, but I'm not yet convinced by either Tel or Odobert. Okay with not getting in another LB as Spence/ Gray can cover if Udogie injured.
Makes sense why we're not after Eze... where on earth would he fit.
Worth noting that he scored 19 pens last season and 14 of his goals were against the bottom 4 teams in the Superliga, think he only scored once against Benfica and Porto as well, its hard to tell what his actual level is.
He looks dynamite in transition but haven't seen him against low blocks or packed defences, Woolwich will face more deep blocks.
Funnily enough i think Sesko suited them better, he's a bit more of a brute and much better in the air to which their game is suited to.
Just watching the kid really. I’ve used the stat radar to try and highlight the more rounded nature of Akliouche's skill set. I can't guarantee it, I can't guarantee he/us is right player, right club, right time, but I think he's ceiling is higher than Kudus's (who I don't dislike by the way) based on his all round game.
I'd rather have Akliouche and Kudus than Kulusevski and Johnson for that inverted right side personally.
Flamingo.
No that's really his name.
He looked decent against England u21s when I watched him a few weeks ago.
Absolutely,Kudus is probably up there with Doku as the best pure 1v1 player in the PL. Also agree that Akliouche can probably play IRF and ACM type positions in the future. That's why I've just said in a post above, I'd have both no problem, massive upgrade of our right side over Kulusevski's plodding and Johnson's two directional, technically inept game.

Yeah and Doku is an overrated flair player with no end product too

I'm getting injured just looking at that squad!!! haha. Also, Isn't Dragusin and Kulu out until later this year?
If Romero does leave, and Spurs don't show some serious intent (Kudus is not that) then we are going to see the likes of Bentancur, Porro and Kulu looking for a quick exit.
Spurs will likely play close to 60 games next season. Simply cannot go in with Udogie (injury prone), Porro and Spence (Crap) as the only full back options.
Very strange we haven't been linked with any full backs, which makes me wonder if Franks system will be a back to basics, 4-4-2 without modern full backs - which then makes Porro a very sad little Spaniard.
Don't think there's any indication that Frank would move back to a 4-4-2.
And if we desperately need a LB, we can always keep Davies, although he likely wouldn't make the CL squad.

realistic thoughts on how you would shake up the squad? We both seem happy with Kudus, but I'm concerned to bring in more we need to sell which may not be easy (in fact we've been poor at sales in recent years).
Lovely player but I think he’s already too good for us. He’ll want a bigger club when he moves.He's there, but he's spelt Akliouche.
I don't hate the notion of signing Kudus, he at least excels at some facets of attacking play, like 1v1 take ons, he's kind of like a left footed/right sided Doku - really great at taking players on, still a bit hit and miss on end product.
But I think we are crazy if we don't move on Akliouche, he'll be similar/cheaper (certainly wages will be cheaper) he has a more rounded skill set, and he's not going to be missing for 6-8 weeks every other season for AFCON.
The rumours here are already that PSG are set on him. We don’t stand a chance.
He could afford to spend ten times that and still not fall foul of FFP.
I think it's close to 200mil with out selling a single player.
I’ve seen those rumours but he needs to tread carefully, PSG already have some elite players where he plays - he should go somewhere he’s going to get lots of playing time next imo. That might not be PSG, although the kid fits Enrique’s system.
I hear you. However PSG have never been more attractive for a confident young french player. He’ll have seen what’s happened with Doué and help back himself to play and get into the World Cup squad next year.
Tottenham is a much bigger risk.
We would love to argue otherwise but that’s the way things are.
I do find it very strange that we haven't sold Gil & Soloman the moment the window opened. Surely, we would have been trying to find a buyer for these all year.
According to the press gossip we are trying to get a cut price deal on the American left back Antonee Robinson from Fulham; with Ben Davies going to Fulham as part of the deal.

As a Swedish Spurs fan. I would want to like Göykeres. If he goes to ArsenaI I won't be able to.
Hope he fails miserably there.
