Well, we nicked their medical department in the summer - how did that work out?
Exactly. I think he’s bored at City.
We have virtually no technical players and he’s one. Whilst not top of my list we could, and probably will, do a lot worse. If we spend £40m on Tel, for example, we’ve gone utterly mad, but I fully expect us to do it.
He'll be 30 by the time the season starts. We do need experience, but not sure he is the answer. Eze or Seymenyo would seem to be the smarter buy if we want someone to hit the ground running.
Suspect City need to clear out some of the high earners to make room for new players. I wonder if he'd be available for a very very low transfer fee.
Do they have the secret to bionic hamstrings then?!?! Not sure where you’re getting the Brighton thing from anyway. Not a single one came from there.

No surprise the hamstring injuries have ended since the defenders were stopped being asked to sprint 50 yards back to their area ten times a game because of the manager’s stupid tactics. Not exactly a surprise.
He's on £300k a week, I don't think there's a world where he drops half his wage, why would he when he could earn more elsewhere.
Agree
We have five better players in Tels position but we will sign him because we can.
I’m not sure I’d let Ange decide on any players he wants either on the basis he probably won’t be here come Christmas. That will be Levy’s thinking, I bet.
They did some dodgy deals in the summer, will do them again this summer I imagine and be ok.
Managers don’t sign the players at Spurs
So much change needed its scary. A decent start is letting Tel, Davies, Reggie, Werner, Forster and Whiteman go as contracts finished. Gil, Solomon and Veliz have to go.
Then i'd be listening for offers on pretty much every other senior player apart from maybe VDV. A must to get rid of Richarlison, Bissouma and those others with contracts getting low like Bentancur and Romero if he isnt signing a new one.
The manager and all the coaching staff, Munn and maybe Lange out as well. I doubt we'll scratch the surface of that but its nice to imagine 17th would put a rocket up their arses.

Lets forget names for a moment. The priority signings this summer are the below:
1. Starting CDM/6. My ideal candidate is Wharton.
2. LB/LCB. This needs to be someone who can compete with Udogie. Needs to be a much higher standard than Davies and Spence who are the only other players we have who can cover this role.
3. Versatile forward. Someone like Mbuemo who can play through the middle and out wide would be ideal. Basically a Richarlison replacement but who will probably make that right wing position his own. Raises the floor massively this as it would mean Brennan Johnson becomes a rotation option.
I'd have these 3 positions replacing Bissouma, Davies and Richarlison in our current squad. 3 players who I'd happily move on if we can get the above upgrades. I assume we will buy Tel too who would act as the Werner replacement. Eze is another player I'd love us to sign but I don't see him as a priority signing over the 3 positions I named above. He'd be my next signings in an ideal world.
Anyway I feel stupid writing all this. Do I really expect Levy to invest this CL money into the team and really go for it? No I don't. Guess its the hope that kills you.

But I thought without Europe or CL you can’t attract any players?
You can show Ben Davies more respect than that for a start. Bloke is spurs through and through. I’d keep him as a squad player.
I’m hoping he’ll eventually move into a youth coaching role or something like that.
Agree with most of the rest of what you say though

The Cunha deal was wrapped up a while ago apparently.
History suggests it will be the same old, same old..
Day late and a dollar short to the signings we should make..
Clowning around in the bargain bin and having average walk through the door at 23:59 on the last day of the window..
Some statement from Levy. Final nail for him and the very very last throw of the dice

Wharton, Eze, Ait Norai and Mbeumo… Devine back
Ten or so out, Davies, Richy, Biss, Tel, Odobert, Son, Werner, Solomon, Reggy, Gil, Veliz, Gray, Yang, Phillips…. Could get 80M for them
Announce Mitoma !
