Wharton is a fabulous player on the ball, less so off the ball. Could pair nicely with Palhina in a double pivot.
Under a possession and attacking oriented manager I think he can be brilliant, under Frank?
If this half season is anything to go by, Wharton will spend 90% of his time defending and when he gets the ball he'll have no one to pass forward too.

So much for Frank really rating him and even making him better
Athletic reporting it as agreed at £35m - Guess Brennan needs to agree to go there, but may wait out other options?

We have players who can create chances, they're just not allowed to by our dinosaur of a manager and his scaredy cat tactics.
Besides, the best strikers don't need much, they find ways to feed on scraps and still produce solid numbers. Harry Kane did it for years here. Don't tell me someone like Osimhen, Alvarez, Lautaro, Ramos or Rodrygo wouldn't fare better at Spurs than Richy but especially Solanke.
Anyway, in an ideal world we'd have football ops people who know their shit and can address all our issues, instead of always leaving us short in one or several areas. I might be wrong, but having things like a quality goalie, a reliable RCB, a RB who's not a moron, 2 x CMs who can fight & play, a CAM who can handle it physically, a LW who can actually cross & score, and an elite ST...I dunno, feels to me as if that's what would make us competitive at the level the 9th richest club in the world should be.
If it's a choice between the two and we pick Savinho, then our decision-makers really are bigger dickheads than even we thought.
We have Hollands first choice LB in our squad
Other sides are playing versatile CB’s at FB, why do we have a blind spot with VDV
Unless you’re including Kulu and Maddison, there’s no one outside of Xavi who is a natural gifted playmaker in our squad. Porro is probably currently our best and he’s having a poor season
Some good players there
Think he'll be happy to go in all honesty, must have been really strange for him being our biggest goal conributor and scoring the most important goal for Spurs in the last 40 years and still cop as much vitriol as he does on socials. Palace is the perfect kind of level for him, I can certainly see him contributing there based off our game with them over the weekend, certainly would have been far more threatening for us if they were bringing Johnson on at 60-65 mins rather than that absolute waster Nketiah.
Deal agreed but player hasnt accepted it yet....

Crystal Palace have reached an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur over a deal to sign Brennan Johnson, although the winger still needs to decide on his future before the situation is finalised.
A fee approaching £35million (€40m; $47m) is in place between the clubs for Johnson, who also has interest from other suitors over a move in the January market.

Hmmmm we must have something in place.
Strange one with Johnson. Good at arriving at the back post for tap ins but unfortunately was limited everywhere else.
I still think that goal was an OG though

Hope we take palace for a ride and then sell him to Bournemouth after what them lot did to us in the summer
