The Tel transfer made no sense regardless of who comes in. He has to improve exponentially to be worth it.

I read something last year that his release clause goes dormant once the season starts and before the window closes
I floated it on this board and no one replied …. My unpopularity aside I took this as no one knew fuck all
So yeah I’m kinda with you … I’ve read it doesn’t carry on throughout all the window
But I certainly couldn’t confirm
Nah, savio will leave city now im sure. He needs considerable minutes this season to try make the Brazil squad and hes not guaranteed that at city.
Also, if he doesn't end up leaving now then hes likely to be frozen out abit by pep as he doesn't take well to players wanting away or not being 100% committed to the club.
The only way we don't manage it is if the fee is too too high which is possible but I think someone will pay it. (Hopefully not the goons if we sting them for eze).
Its looking quite good right now on both fronts, fingers crossed but can't rule anything out when it comes to players of this quality and other teams sniffing around.
We really need this though. It would hugely boost what this team is capable of this coming season and beyond and really sharpen up this blunt pencil of a squad. You could argue that these 2 signings could take us from languishing near midtable right up to the heels of the top 4. Its that much of a swing. You also have to factor in we have a young team with huge growth potential to further close that gap naturally over time.
You could be right but I was querying if anyone knew something more definitive on the clause status itself
I was under the impression it’s no longer active
I think we signed Tel because it was a deal we could do to sign a high potential forward. I have no issue with signing Tel, my issue was signing him and then relying on him to be a starter and to carry us in the PL and CL.
If we have Sivinho and Eze starting. Odobert and Tel are great backups to have.
But going into the season with two unproven kids would be disastrous.
I do genuinely think Tel has shown glimpses of very good potential, but he's really raw.
I dunno, but I used to flirtingly text a girl I was involved with "buonanotte" each night...yanno, because speaking Italian to a girl works. So it'd be an awkward shirt for her to see me walking around town in.
Agree, these two signings could literally be the difference between mid table and back in the conversation for top 4.
They're that transformative imo.
And Eze, although different to Maddison, is a lot more physically robust and is suited better to the tougher away games imo.
Hotspur88 on SC re Savinho
Small update...
Been told this is almost there now. I'd been told a fee had basically been agreed so it's looking very likely
Oh fucking hell, that sad little prick is back is he? The man who had ties to Conte but somehow still gets info on the most public deal of the year.
He is the most attention seeking saddo on there.
Obviously a pure guess. If it gets announced tomorrow he can claim ITK.
If it isn’t, he will delay until it’s done and make some excuses. If it falls through he will blame some random reason for his ITK being bullshit (like it always is). Fuck me.
I know, I'm trying to figure out what piece of this is going to collapse and I'm not seeing it, unless selling Guehi causes Palace to close up shop and we won't pay out the release clause before it expires.
Completely agree. So much of what makes the window frustrating for teams and fans is that sequence is everything. With the Axis of Greed teams having so much money to chase multiple players with huge offers the rest of the Premier League has had to wait for them to sort themselves out before the action for most teams can begin. We can possibly get Savinho but I don't see it without them getting Rodrygo. And Spurs certainly can't do business for Savinho or Rodrygo until that is cleared up. Woolrich really hasn't treated Eze well and he should take note of that in deciding where to go.
He's a liar that is happy to lie to Spurs fans.
Much like all of the 'itk' on that forum.
If we manage to get both attacker i think it will be a cheapish cb, preferably left footed. I think we've been linked to that van hecke from Brighton. 2 years on contract and I think although right footed can play lcb well too.
Otherwise it could be Kim from bayern as a stopgap or a paratici special from seria a.

If i were gonna be an ITK guy I think I'd use "The Dongle" as my pseudonym.
If he’d rather spend money elsewhere though?
Agree on it being a bit of a problem position. I’d go get Robertson from Liverpool for a year. Immense experience and consistent despite his age. Wouldn’t have to play every week. Probably being paid too much for us though.
smoking it to playing on it.
