This probably cannot be over-stated. We can play with a mixed group of attacking players if Kane is out - but we clearly lack anyone to pull the strings after Eriksen.I think a back up to Eriksen is a bigger need than a back up to Kane.
Yes this thread is back can't understand why it needs to be locked during the transfer window.
Because there is an entire section of the forum opened up specifically to discuss possible in's and out's. No point in having the same stuff discussed in multiple places when the transfer section is hard enough to police.
In fact I don't see why anyone would need this thread to be left open unless it's because they have lost access to the transfer window section, and if that's the case remember it's their own fault they have nowhere to discuss what's going on.

Goretzka has already signed a deal with Bayern.I'm not entirely sure why Gazzaniga couldn't be 2nd, and a kiddo from the academy be 3rd. I thought Gazzaniga played admirably this season (when he played, which is like 90 minutes).
I think since we would like to keep the possibility for playing 3 CBs, adding a CB probably wouldn't hurt. I'm starting to believe Carter-Vickers may not have a future with Tottenham. Burnley's Tarkwoski could be interesting to me, as could Frenkie de Jong, and Benjamin Pavard.
I've been going on and on about this for the better part of a year, but we are in need of an amazing CM. Kovacic, or Goretzka would be the type of signing I think we should stretch the limits for. Again, there is an Ajax player by the name of Donny van de Beek who also would be of interest. He is NOW on a lower level than the aforementioned players, but in the future he can become big.
After signing Moura, I don't really think we have pressing AM needs if we manage to keep everybody else, but Pulisic could be interesting.
When it comes to Kane, I think we shouldn't completely buy into the "Kane will never leave"-hype. He MAY never leave, then again, he may. This is football, and categorically dismiss future outgoings is nonsensical. However, personally, I'd be surprised if he didn't want at least one season in the new stadium. Behind him, I'd be happy to keep one of Janssen and/or Llorente. It doesn't matter to me who is back-up striker, but I firmly believe that Batshuayi would fit the system well and would have had a better time being back-up for Kane that what he himself imagines.
I've already mentioned players at Ajax, I believe there are several players who could be of interest. de Jong and van de Beek, but also players like Justin Kluivert.
As last summer, I think Bundesliga keep being a very interesting league for buying players for all positions in the early to mid twenties age bracket. There are too many interesting players to start listing beyond who are already mentioned, and I'd really like to see some Bundesliga shopping in the summer.
There is also the Spurs Scouting Thread which sort of serves as a wishlist of player highlights but sort of rambles around and unfocused.I can see both sides - I like the wish list thread as a catch-all discussion of players that might fit, even if we are not linked. I would think it could be the thread that keeps most of the ITK thread from being de-railed so frequently when it goes off-topic.
But, the flip side is, Rob and A&C and the other mods are trying to create a good experience here where you know where to look for specific content - keeps people from having to jump all over the place to find a particular discussion. For instance, they made a strong push this year to keep all ITK in a single thread, and even out of the player threads - so that anyone who really just wanted that info did not have to dive through all the player threads looking for ITK nuggets.
Whilst true, there's nowhere in the transfer section to discuss a wishlist.
Fair point, but how long would this stay a wishlist only thread if it were left open during the window?
Yes there is. The player threads. Say for example we've been linked to Mahrez and there's a thread for him, you could easily post in there that you'd prefer it if we signed someone else who hasn't been linked and the discussion will evolve from there. So not only is the idea that there's nowhere for wishlisting incorrect, there are actually a lot of threads where you can do just thatWhilst true, there's nowhere in the transfer section to discuss a wishlist.

I think we need a place to discuss stuff like that though. We went over it after the summer window as well, if im not mistaken. We’re missing a thread where we can discuss this type of stuff. Player threads are strictly for that player whose been linked in genuine media outlets. ITK threads is strictly for ITK. We dont have a general spurs transfer discussion thread and i think that would go a long way in cleaning up the Transfer section and save Rob and A&C alot of headaches with the ITK thread.And get accused of derailing the thread. This seems a good place for everyone to post their squad building ideas in one place. Not for one moment saying it should be open during the transfer window.
"The type of signing" signifies, and granted I didn't grow up learning English, but if I'm not mistaken it signifies giving general examples, which I believe one would be allowed to do without implying that one is under the impression that that exact player can be in fact signed.Goretzka has already signed a deal with Bayern.
