    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    It looks like De Ketelaere is blooming at Atalanta. I believe they have a buy option unfortunately. Lovely player.

    The Summer 2024 scouting thread

    Has anyone been watching Milan this season? Pulisic has a lot of the attributes people seem to think we will be looking for, though he is another who has been dismantled, or Chelsea’d. If he’s back to the player he was I wonder if he’d be an option.

    This is so lazy. 1. he’s played 2 games for Spurs. 2. Our recruitment for the last couple of years has been exceptional, so what do you mean ‘another one’? It’s very boring how this happens. Son, Kulu, Porro, Vicario out of our current first 11 all written off within minutes.

    Antonio Nusa

    Baffled at those who say he doesn’t pass the eye test. Fascinating how perception works! I’m gonna put someone else’s balls on the line and say this guy will end up being one of the best players in the world in 5-6 years barring injury.

    He’s a total moron.

    Winter Transfer Window Scouting Thread 23/24

    Thanks for sharing. I don’t see Messi but he does remind me of one of my favourite players when first starting to watch football as a kid, Pablo Aimar. I’d have thought he’s bound for Spain too - beautiful technique but looks to need some filling out for any talk of English football. edit: I...

    That second Donley goal is Kane-esque. I’m on board.

    Harry Kane

    The way Kane takes care of himself, coupled with him not having had any pace for years anyway, suggests to me he will continue to play at a very high level until after his mid 30’s. Look at Benzema, Lewandowski and Ibra. He’s in that bracket.

    Indeed. I’d have thought that the above plus the fact that Chelsea weren’t relegated and can afford to let Mount walk would mean the difference in fee should be more than that though, personally.

    How so? Have you been following what's going on at Juve? They're possibly an even bigger car crash than we are currently. Is Bentancur also not good enough? I get that people are pissed off but to not see that the atmosphere at Spurs is as bad as it's been in a long time and that will be...

    I understand that with regards to amortising fees. However, getting to a point of brinkmanship whereby the card you thought you had as a reference point has expired, with no time for a plan b, is fucking useless from the club. Had we offered 45 million staggered in January the 1st, there’s a...

    So to be clear, we could have activated a release clause of €45 million on January 1. Now, if this does indeed go through, it will be for more than that amount due to our not knowing it expired 12 days before the transfer window shuts? Meanwhile the player has missed a month of playing in the...
