Meh..... Retrospective caveats...... Keep on moving the goalposts.
"Never" is a big word.

Had arguably the most honest transfer out to Saudi.
He said something like "I cannot refuse the money offered." and left it at that.
Devine imo looks ready so I don't think we need to bring in 2 central midfielders.
Sell Bentancur and Bissouma and replace with new starting CM and Devine.
Maddison, Kulusevski, New, Bergvall, Sarr, Gray, Devine
That's absolutely fine considering we won't be in Europe (and that assuming the new manager will play a midfield 3).

Tottenham Hotspur eye move for Matte Smets | SportsView
Tottenham Hotspur could be eyeing a new defender in the summer window. Spurs have Micky van de Ven, Cristian Romero, and Radu Dragusin as three major centre-backs, while Ben Davies can play there as well. If you add the versatile Archie Gray, you have enough depth in the defensive areas. The...

Matte Smets - Player profile 24/25
Matte Smets, 21, from Belgium ➤ KRC Genk, since 2024 ➤ Centre-Back ➤ Market value: €10.00m ➤ * Jan 4, 2004 in Bilzen, Belgium
Great move for him. Good for us to get some cash for him and have some space for a CM that take this team up a level. He will blatantly go to Atleti and win a trophy but so be it.
You can see why Real want him, TAA passing the ball into Mbappe, Bellingham, Vini and Rodrigo is goals galore.
We need to sign Karetsas that plays with Greece. He’s unbelievably good for 17. He’s destroyed Andy Robertson tonight. We have been linked with him but he’s exactly the type of exciting right winger we need. He’s a lefty but can go either way,has a trick,links and his finish in this game is class.
During every TW for the last few season there are Spurs fans wanting Modric to return....but he will never return to Spurs (not as a player at least)

Big clubs like Juve, Bayern M, Liverpool, Woolwich and, of course, Chelski have also been liked to him...
He can play both wide and as a OCM.
No surprise that the big boys will be in for him. He definitely looks the real deal for such a young lad.
Better place to live is also a factor.
Another 6 I’ve liked for quite a while is Manu Koné (now at Roma) who seems to be maturing nicely.
Could be the big cheese in midfield we need .
Minute from the Fan Advisory Board held a few days ago :
Football Update
JL shared insight as to how he approaches his role as Technical Director and the strategy behind building the squad. JL provided an overview of the technical department and the roles of each team member and described how the Club’s philosophy runs throughout all age groups, from the Academy to the first team. JL answered the FABs questions on talent identification, player recruitment (including timing in the transfer window), transfer and wage costs (and structural implications including amortisation), development of young players and the overall structure of football operations
Its a shame the fans in that meeting have not shared what Laing said - or even club releasing a video of that section of the meeting .
