The Transfer Ticker

[Archibald&Crooks]

This thread is to keep track of all transfer news so people can quickly recap what's happened.

We'll try to keep this regularly updated with the help of @THFCSPURS19 @Univarn and @dovahkiin

If we miss something, feel free to let someone know (by tagging them) and it'll get added.

As a reminder, we only want what should be considered "real" news.

This includes:

• Anything from ITKs
• Anything from "real" people (e.g. Ally, Romano, etc)
• Anything from official sources (clubs, players, etc)
• Any breaking news from recognised media sources (e.g. newspapers, etc)

What we explicitly do not want is anything from any of the so-called "aggregator" accounts on Twitter that just regurgitate other people's info, or clickbait/blog sites.

Stevie wants to go back to Holland ideally-family reasons

TN-Clubs want him on loan with option. We won’t take that. Dele can leave. Rodon can leave on loan, or good realistic fee.

Under these new circumstances, looks like we are aggressively pushing for three signings (Not clear on the three). We are prepared to pay a premium to bring them in now. One particular club inItaly is keen, but agents are prepared to wait it out until the summer. Not a hard guess that one.

Watch Paratici’s & Conte’s media Buddies, who will break it prior ?

Vlahovic:

Both the player and his reps are making the right noises as far as we are concerned, and that's all we can go off right now. Still doesn't mean he sign's or when Fiorentina decide to cash in. That is down to them and them alone, but the signs are definitely still positive. We still believe we are the front runners(the only runners in fact) but it wouldn't be the first time we've been lead a merry dance by an agent, so I'll leave that caveat in.

Only time will tell, but we believe our chances are very good.

Franck Kessie
It is down to us now!

Clarification: It is for us to say ‘Yeh/Nay’

 

[chrissivad]

Truth in talk of us exchanging (trying) one or two of our players. Very obvious, for the Swedish lad, surname ‘K’, as Hercules style, cannot get his name right. FP very close with his family. We were keen as soon as he took over. Let’s see.

 

[chrissivad]

Discussions have taken place regarding targets etc and who he wants to keep and who can go. Do you really think that meeting hasn't taken place by the 1st day of the window?!

It's the same when managers come in and are asked about new signings. Most say they're happy with the squad etc etc, they are hardly going to come out and say yes they're all shit, I want 11 new players.

Conte has had discussions with Paratici regarding targets and who can go etc.

Ali Z on SC:

Heard a whisper about a potential incoming RWB plays in the championship, young, fast and dynamic, is at Derby County but can't remember how to spell name lol.

He went on to confirm that it's Ebosele

Ok so I've been holding back a little bit because of reactions to ITK posts over the last few windows. Prior to that I've always been fairly to the point and as in depth as I could, but the sheer number of creative ratings given to various ITK posters and certain posters purposely twisting posts just to create a certain narrative meant I couldn't be bothered in all honesty. I carried on sharing within our back of house group as have others, but believe me when I say there's a fair bit you are no longer hearing because some of you can't take ITK for what it is.

Nothing is ever set in stone and things are fluidly changing all the time, sometimes by the time it's been posted on here it's done a complete 180 and back again. Depending on where the info has come from there may well be agenda and or opinion attached, which can skew things. Personally I try and say if I believe this to be the case and depending on the source sometimes that's easier to do than at other times. I generally say when it's come from an agent(but sometimes agents are better placed than even Levy would be depending on the player involved). Or it's from someone I know at the club and has been there for years. So with that in mind I'll try again, and probably for the last time. As I say take it for what it is which is info that has been passed on in good faith and at the time of hearing was as it was.

There are no lines to read between, and no fucking smokescreens!!!

Doc, TN, Dele, Rodon, Davinson, Bergwijn are all deemed surplus. There are others we'd accept offers for but they'd have to be above what we consider their value to be. Conte wants 3 in in January, and 3 more in the Summer. It wouldn't be a deal breaker if we only got a couple in now but 6 was what they agreed to be realistic and necessary over the next couple of windows. The priority right now is for a CB that can play left and center a RWB and an attacking option. I know there will be a plethora of you out there with the opinion that other positions are more important, but Conte would like these first, and it has to be done his way now. As I say things are fluid and if the right player became available in another position we would of course look to bring them in as well.

As I posted yesterday It's always been about being in the right place for the start of next season. This next few months are effectively a huge pre season where the players are to learn their new roles and ethos of how the manager wants to play. He wants to first be solid defensively, it's his main priority and the hardest part of his system to get across to the players as it's usually a different system to anything they've played before. From what I was told he feels it's for easier for a good AM to slot into any system and find runners, than it is for CB's or WB's to understand how he wants them to play during different phases of play. That's why he wants to get that side of things established and in place first. Like I say should the right AM become available we'd not turn our noses up but it's not the priority as of right now.

Conte knew exactly what he was getting into when he came in, nothing at all has changed FP has been working on things and I expect us to get at least two and probably the 3 Conte wants this month. I certainly wouldn't rule out more than that if we can get players moved on which again is down to FP now. January as we all know is always difficult but I think FP with all his contacts will find it easier than we've found it in the past.

You need to give it time folks because one things for sure we won't get a better chance than we do with Conte, and anything we can get from this season is a bonus.

Conversations being had regarding Eriksen.

There's an awful lot to be considered here, and this is super early stages so keep that in mind.

We are also in for the Belgian 6ft 4 kid from Brugge. Personally hope it advances, and we pull it off.

This window we are pushing for De Vrij, Traore, plus one forward Vlahaovic/Ketelaere. From an agent who has a player at the club, not my best source but has had solid info in the past. I am trying to get this confirmed.

Paris St-Germain, AC Milan, Roma, Lyon, Barcelona and Newcastle United are among clubs that could be interested in 25-year-old French midfielder Tanguy Ndombele, whose future at Tottenham is uncertain after he was booed by Spurs supporters when substituted in Sunday's FA Cup third round win against Morecambe.
