The Spurs Transfer Wishlist & Scouting Thread

[ChRiStOpHe]

Not sure where some of you are getting your values of players from, but anybody thinking Levy would let Trippier go for 20 m need to think again. Despite what some of you think of him, he is an England international, possibly the English player of the WC last season and experienced in CL football.
And you can forget Rabiot, he is not what Poch will want character wise and Levy will not deal with his mad mother

Tripper £20m (linked to HITC to avoid linking to the Daily Mail).

Tottenham interest in Rabiot (linked to HITC to avoid linking to The Sun).

In general, I'd agree, but in 2004/05, Chelsea (Mourinho's first first season) brought in exactly 9 players; 5 of which went straight into the starting XI. That team went from pretenders to the force in British football in a single transfer window.

I suspect the difference would be explained by the proven quality that Maureen brought in. No expense was spared.

I think the point is that any 20mil bid is either bullshit or gonna get rejected almost instantly. Trippier is an international for England ffs, homegrown and prem experienced. For 20mil you can barely buy a championship hotshot or half decent Scottish league player.

I hope you know that HITC is considered an even worse link than the others.

Very true, but still 9 players who had never played in the Premier League; talented, of course, but hardly guarantee of success.

I'm not sure. Trippier's stock has fallen dramatically since the World Cup, and he'll be 29 a month into the new season. No question that his value is significantly lower than it would have been 9 months ago, but it's probably reflective of his current status.

I would never quote an HITC exclusive, but those articles are simply re-hashing stories from the rags mentioned in my previous post.

Your ligue 1 comment isnt fair. If a foreign observer saw the PLs 2nd and 3rd best south coast teams played each other (Bournemouth v Brighton) in September they might come away thinking the PL was overhyped. Championship quality at best ...

It was just my interpretation of that particular game. I thought the overall quality was poor and and I left quite unimpressed tbh. I’m not looking to make any league comparisons really because that discussion could go on forever.

I personally think Aurier should go before Trips. Aurier has had his opportunity and shown himself to be not quite good enough.

If an offer of £35m plus was offered for Trips you'd think we'd take it surely.

I think the reality is if we want a player like AWB, we're going to need to offload both. I think what you stated is true, though, but I really couldn't determine who really should be sold first, they've both been underwhelming.

Mate I do along with others totally understand that the club will want CL for the obvious reasons you mentioned, but i can't see the club investing heavily in the marketplace I still see the usual policy persist for the foreseeable future.
If poch is wanting more ready made players which has been suggested although we don't know for sure then I think he will be disappointed, I'm not going down that route expecting too much and so keep the expectation levels low.

You obviously don't associate Levy as having a brain then. the price put on Eriksens head is either complete paper talk, or Levy is willing to risk losing him for nothing, or at a push to make sure we get something back from RM

The money we get for both Eriksen and Toby will definitely be used, but until we know the figure we get for Eriksen no one knows. if we do only get 70-90m because of him being in his final season, and we do sell 1 or 2 of our FB's then unless we do introduce KWP, means we will then have to buy at least 1 FB, 2 midfielders plus someone to replace Eriksen, and someone decent to cover Vorm.

in the summer ITK said the reason holding up buying was selling. the trouble is all the negative posters have it as "No Money", but none of you understand as I've posted a 1000 times, we have to sell because our squad was too big 28 does not go into 25.

Levy knows to get CL football, the club will need to buy, the only difference being this summer 3 or 4 will definitely be leaving, which with Dembele already gone, a good chance we will either sell or loan Janssen, GKN, Onamah and CCV again, that will mean we can purchase up to 5 players to have a 25 man squad.

this last seasons transfer dealings have damaged too many peoples beliefs and too many make it sound like it's something we do every bloody year

I know it's a shit-stain of a rag, but I like this rumour so I choose to believe it...

Could see Everton as a good fit for Trippier. Silva strikes me very much as a stats and xG type manager, and Trippier's track record of chance creation would suit them.

Does wan bissaka suit the way we play? Every time I’ve seen palace this season (not that much tbh) he look a fantastic defender but is he that driving force going forward that we need in the fullback area? Not convinced for the money we would have to shell out to get him

We don't really know if both need to be sold. The truth is nobody knows whether we have money or not. I personally can't see massive wholesale changes this summer as my own personal view is we haven't a pot to piss in. Or rather a tight arsed billionaire owner. So I can't see both RBs going.

If ones gonna go it will be Aurier IMO. Likely to be on more money, a foreign spot occupied etc. I'd love AWB. But it's more likely to be Aarons for a third of the amount.

I'm sure he'd have had a lot more assists if Wickham or Benteke weren't on the end of them.

 

[Ben1]

defensive side first please...id rather we tried to shape AWB into a more attacking full back, than signed another awful defensive full back and worked the other way. Also doesn't help that the 'attacking' full backs currently offer little to no threat.

That's the problem though, the press whoever they are get very little right EVER. every day I look at teamtalk paper talk just to have my daily laugh. apparently in the last month Arsenal are interested in around 12 different players yet reports are they only have 45m to spend, and the players listed are above that figure. they might actually get 1 right, but they definitely won't be signing all of them.

the media are like a broken clock

Not even looked at the stats it’s more my opinion when I’ve watched palace.
Maybe it’s the way palace play and he could be more offensive I don’t know. As a one on one defender he is amazing and a great athlete but for the money palace would want I think someone like the lad At Norwich might be a better bet and more affordable for us

if you think 25 games in just short of 76 in the league is an opportunity then sorry you are so wrong. yes he has made errors just has Trippier, and a lot of full backs across the country

I do get your point and I've always said Aurier needs a run of games to be judge properly. But at the same time has he considerably improved any facets of his game over the last two years with us?

Nope.

Nope?

only 1 foul throw

no penalties conceded

and this season he hasn't played as much, due to injuries and personal issues (getting banged up, when he was due to play)

I'm not like most in here anyway. with a good rest this summer and all 4 come back fresh with a good preseason behind them, I honestly think we could get at least 1 more season out of them and use the money needed for midfield which I think is more important to get back on track.

I don't expect Levy will consider going mad and having a massive spend (if still here) until the stadium is paid for. yes I would love to win a trophy before I depart this world, but we are not going to be doing that overnight. yes Liverpool spent massive, but have also gone out the 1st hurdle in both domestic cups, if Man C do them in the League and they lose in the CL, what have they to show for just short of 200m, so spending guarantees NOTHING, unless you can afford to pay player 150k per week to warm the bench
