Today's rumors very interesting... trying hard for Bale Rose staying Wanyama going In addition to what we had been hearing... let Dembele get his 3 year contract elsewhere Alderweireld gone to Barca Shopping Sissoko De Light, Sessegnon, Zaha, Martial all options
In no way can we let Dembele and Wanyama leave. That would be way to big of a hit in our midfield for one offseason.
Pretty entertaining. Started at a point where it builds up, but entertaining regardless. I like Third Best Dembele.
I dont see anyway we let Wanyama go this offseason. Makes no sense. I really hope Dembele goes to China, we get more money and dont have to worry about playing him again. I love Moose but if he's leaving better off there. Hopefully Witsel gets in his ear about it. Dont believe the Bale hype. Don't expect much from Sessegnon front until after next Saturday. Lots of rumors about him leaving if they lose and staying on for one more year if they win. Also may be a package deal with his twin brother. Another intersting rumor is this 18 year old Barca midfielder, Puig, we seemingly have a lot of smoke for. Would be very Poch like.
Yes, and supposedly the kid, Reo Griffiths, from our system may be going the other way to Barca, which sucks as he looks to be a stud. His cousin plays in my local soccer club.
Things are starting out great! Reports are out that Puig, the 18 yo from Barca, we were rumored to be about to sign will now stay with Barca. He seems to confirm on his twitter as well. I forgot how much I hate transfer season.
Oh I'm not at all skeptical that Levy told Poch what he wanted to hear. I just don't think Levy will follow through on it.
Seems like a bit of unfounded pessimism. I think the Sissoko, Moura and Sanchez signings show a growing faith in Poche. It ain't like Redknapp who Levy would give a Saha and Ryan Nelson and tell him to fuck off.
We're officially in pot 2 for UCL next season and my gf bought me basically everything Tottenham related she could find on the internet for my bday. Twas a good day.
Danny Rose to Everton for 40 million pounds is the single funniest piece of transfer garbage I've seen in a while. I mean if Everton want to pay 40 million...
Is nexus saying hi, friends because we're friends again since RM don't want Poch anymore? Like a truce?
There's reports out there now that we may be backing off of De Ligt. I hope not as I think hes a stud, but 55 mil for an 18 yo defender is tough. Also more and more rumblings about Martial although I cant see Man U letting us get him. Otherwise been relatively quiet with no one rumor gaining much steam.
Even if/when we sell Toby, I think we’re ok at CB with Jan, Dav, Dier, and Foyth though I’d love to land de Ligt. Still think cm/cam and second striker are our top two priorities. We have to find a Dembele replacement, someone who can function as a true 10 if Eriksen gets hurt, and someone who can be a reliable back up if Harry picks up a knock. Levy needs to put his money where his mouth is. United and Pool have already strengthened considerably this window.
The closest thing to an ITK for Newcastle made it sound like we're going to demand a ransom, but you guys and Chelsea were interested. I don't think you guys would pay it, but I also said the same about a lot of other players Newcastle made a lot of money on
Yep, exactly. That's the part that worries me is that the bigger clubs will overpay to him, as he'd be homegrown, young, and developing
I’m not comfortable with that as our CB group when Poch considers Dier a MF first and CB when needed. Even if it’s a younger player we need another CB added to that group. Agreed that MF is our biggest need if we end up selling Dembele. I’d love a CAM too but for some reason they always want speedy wingers over a true 10. I’m over wasting money on backup F’s. They never play when Harry is healthy and because of that their form is shit when they inevitably are forced to play. Just go with Son or Lamela as the backup F and use that money on a CAM.
Martial can play as a striker if Harry’s hurt fwiw. And I thought Poch preferred Dier at CB but Dier much prefers MF? Regardless, we need to make roster improvements, and preferably before the World Cup. Unfortunately, I think we all know what’s going to happen.
