Rules stipulate 3 GKs. Unless you want to put a youth GK, Kinsky stays in.
Davies <> defender is the most I can see happening and tbh our biggest need if you look at our last 2 seasons.
As for LW, Johnson starts atm, if you sign a LW to start over him, they need to be someone you are sure scores 20 ish goals because that's what Johnson gives you and without Son we are already short of a load of goals. The names linked don't fill me with much confidence they would have the same output as Johnson tbh.
If we sign a LW then one of Tel/Odobert goes in loan
Go and get Kane back. Swap with Tel
Kane will be back next summer, I feel it in my bones.
His contract is until 2027 and Bayern will not want to let him go on a free. (yes, they may offer contract extension)
He will be 33 at start of next season and time will be running out to take Shearers' record.
Agreed. LCB/LB is priority for me now
when I describe Spurs to Spanish people over the course of my life and before the internet or satellite tv so in a time when knowledge of English clubs was zero, I always said we do win stuff fairly regularly but that we're known above all for our flair. we're regularly the best team to watch in the country over our history. it's who we are. and this is just my opinion, and I'm grateful for his goals, one in particular, but Brennan Johnson does not share Tottenham DNA
Meh... All the back-peddling about starts v bench is after the fact of what I replied to.
You just shat on him like he's worthless and played dumb in order get extra leverage.....
"can he even switch the play to the other wing?"
He's already scored 2 from 2 on his opposite side this season.....FFS.
Which i am saying I can't see happening with such a small amount of time left in the window... Solomon is still fucking here FFS.
That's also ignoring Johnson who is our starting LW at. He's also oe of our main sources of actual goals. Kudus and Simons create by habit, if we sign Savinho or Lookman are they replacing the goals that you get from Johnson? Nah, not for me they aren't.
Hijacking both Chelsea and Woolwich in the same window would be soooooo delicious.
Please no... It's just water now.
25 goals 18 assists since he arrived.
He really isn't. Compare him to truly elite wide forwards like Mané, Salah. Even last season he was 18th for XG90 of players with 1000+ minutes. Obviously some of those were CF's but even most of them clocked better creative and team X-build up numbers than he did playing as a wide CF. he even managed to underscore his fairly meagre 11.16 XG.
Did we ‘hijack’ Chelsea? From what I can tell they didn’t bid for Simons and decided to go for the Barca lad.
I didn't say anything about xG or being Mane or Salah. I said he's really really good at timing movements into a scoring position. You add Simons into the mix and he gets even more opportunities to make those runs and finish.
25 goal involvements for the season isn't an unreasonable target. We aren't signing a LW who guarrantees us more than that.
First I heard of what, but yeh ok..... If you're prepared to (in theory) only pick 2 GKs then chucking one of the kids on a plane is no more of a gamble than if the rules allowed only for 2.
BJ can play both sides and will be mega useful even if we get another LW.... Esp. with Kulu not in the CL squad. No way I would not have BJ in the CL quad.
As for the names linked?
Sav
Rogers
Lookman
I'd expect 'output' from all 3 in one form or another........ Less confident about Tel/Odo in that respect.
Yeah, I was being a bit loose with the language... but it won't stop me teasing my Chelsea mates with it.
Johnson high and wide on the other flank also offers license for Kudus to drift into midfield and be a ball-advancer extraordinaire, his greatest strength, plus offering the wing cover that Porro needs.
It would also be different if we had a mega prolific CF, but we don't.
Johnson is no superstar and has his weaknesses and I don't blame people for being frustrated with him. But the way these conversations drift into acting like goalscoring isn't important is ridiculous.
I never thought I would make a statement like this, but I would be excited to see some depth signings. Rotational players so we don’t find ourselves in the position we were in last season
