Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Kudus seems to get a lot of hate on here and I’m pretty sure it’s a Spammers thing. He’s a brilliant player and in the right environment with a new challenge he could be clsss for us. He’s got more in his locker than any of our front players. He fits the bill of a Tottenham player for me. He loves to go by people wide or centrally,will shoot,can score spectacular goals and is basically an off the cuff type. We have seen straight line players who bore the fuck out of me.

Yes Kudus didn’t have a great season last season but he was playing in an awful West Ham side. My only issue with it is he will be going to Afcon in December.

Ghana didn't qualify for AFCON

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.

Transfermarkt says he is currently injured (return 14/7) value 35m E, contract 2028.
10 assists last season.

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.

He doesn’t look like a PL winger to me. More of a 10.
 
The scary thing about this transfer window is you can see a change in dynamic of the bigger clubs, they’re not looking at their squads and thinking we’re 1 player short in attack and have no left back cover. They’re looking at it and going well our attack wasn’t good enough last season, let’s upgrade where necessary then sell the excess baggage. Whereas with us, it’s like we’re going all out for a wide forward when the quality of our attack for example is nowhere near as good as our EPL rivals or Champions League competition. Signing 1 DM albeit needed isn’t going to magically overhaul our central midfield, likewise Kudus isn’t going to fix our attack. We’ve some very promising youngsters but a serious lack of senior quality (even Frank can only do so much).

Senior quality - Dom, Son, Cuti, Porro, Bentancur, Vicario, Richarlison, Madders, Kulusevski, and Biss (if he can get some consistency)

I wouldn’t say there is a ‘serious lack of senior quality’ - some gaps need plugged ala Kudus, a CDM, and another quality fullback but we have a good spine of senior players and I am certain they will all perform much better under a coach who knows that he’s doing.

Gykores has now had several high scoring campaigns in Portugal

Several means "more than two but not many."

In this case, Gyokores has had two seasons in Portgual.

He scored 38 goals in 91 games when he signed permanently for Coventry in the Championship, 41 in 110 for the club in total. Best season was 21 in 46

Solanke scored 44 in 86 in the championship for Bournemouth. Best season was 29 in 46.

So why is it a wankfest over Gyokores but a dig at Solanke? People keep saying he scored 9 last season, too - ignoring that it was 9 in 27 in the league, but 16 goals over all comps. It's not too far off the peak of Adebayor
