If richarlison is close its just the CB to sort and we're in good shape.

And RWB

And RWB

I think Spence is pretty much a dead cert

Still not a fan of Richarlison but will give him a fair crack of the whip if he comes. That’s if Romero doesn’t snap him in his first training session

Just stick £40m on table for bremer

Richarlison is the player I want most. It’s what we’ve lacked for years, proper back up and rotation up front to keep everyone fresh. Very pleased to hear from Trix and the rest that it’s close. He’s an excellent player who knows the league and will only get better, plus his attitude is great, after all he knows who’s already at the club and he isn’t fazed.

It’s looking very positive. Richarlison providing optionality across the front three, and we finally have quality rotation for Harry.

Spence should get done, based on the ITK thus far. He’ll likely rotate with Doherty.

Perisic and Bissouma both are first class editions, providing an immediate boost in quality in areas that were lacking in the squad.

It will be interesting to see where we land on the LCB front. We still have a large chunk of the $150MM (plus potential player sales) with essentially all other identified weaknesses covered. Would love to see us go aggressive for Gvardiol rather than waiting a year and competing with the whole world for his signature at the release price.

it’s refreshing to see how we are operating this window. Combine that with the news that we are the most profitable PL club from a match day perspective and it really is an exciting time to be a Spurs fan (and god knows we’ve paid our dues).

Was thinking the same, I presume A&C gave a few cracks of his ban whip having already snapped his stick with so much aggregating going on.
Great to have positive ITK on Richarlison today to get a key week off to a good start ITK-wise. Here’s hoping our patience on trying to play pick-up sticks pays off or we go all-in on Gvardiol. Surely even AC will want one statement signing?

Dragon on coys

The reason I posted last week that our money will much more likely Be going to goodison than Yorkshire is because it’s who conte wanted much more and right now conte has levys ear

conte wants defenders now , rodon is highly likely to be off we have tons of interest which means I expect two center half’s plus Spence to join

Enic realize two things right now

1- we have a world class manager who If backed will win things

2- Chelsea going for 4.25 billion I think it was whose infrastructure and stadium is vastly inferior to ours means that if we can add some serious silverware That Means Enic can sell for Mega money which is why after 21 years they finally made that 150 million available As if conte delivers trophies they will get that 150 back many times over

And for me, thats all that matters - Conte getting who he wants - bring on the trophies

Levy won’t agree to sell yet. He’s a fan, he’s gonna want the glory!! COYS!

Can totally see why Conte would prefer Richarlison to Raphinha. He just has that mentality Conte loves.

Two CBs plus Spence would really make it a brilliant window. Also if we are after two CBs then Lenglet on loan makes a lot of sense.

I think we'd need that creative AM option (initially earmarked for Eriksen) to really complete the squad though.

that’s why lenglet makes sense, based on the maths we could have 7 players in for £145m which equates to 3 already done , rich, spence and 2cbs. That’s to go to Korea. That leaves us selling winks, berg, lo celso, rodon,. Possibly moura, reg, royal and ndom. That could be £120-£150m. That could get 2 more players to balance the squad

Tbf Raphinha’s defensive stats and work rate are as good, if not better in some areas. But from a versatility point of view it makes senses. Personally I think 60 mil is a little much but it is what it is. As you say, the one thing is if/when we get Richarlison we will still seriously need a creative AMC, ideally one that can play in a few different positions. We really don’t want to be in a situation next season were all our creativity comes from our primary CF or a 21 year old in his first full season in the PL. The big plus on Raphinha was his chance creation stats, they eclipsed Richarlisons. Adding a versatile work horse makes complete sense, but we need to balance that out if we want to get the best out of him and the rest of our front line. Without that, as you touch upon, it wouldn’t be a brilliant window for me as it was lacking last season and with the more games we have next season I can see it becoming more apparent. I know Eriksen is off the table it seems, as is Dybala who although a different player was also creative, but I’m still hoping that we are looking at others.

Thx for sharing. Interesting insights. But, the last part about ‘silverware’, will have barely any impact on sales price. Business does not work that way. CL qualification is critical. Yes. A highly competitive team that sells out the stadium. Yes. Having an FA Cup trophy in the cabinet by the end of the season (If they sell in the next year or two), will have no bearing on the sales price. In the grand scheme of value propositions or Reasons to Buy… that part would be way, way, way down on the list.

I imagine they mean adding "serious silverware" will attract many more fans which would lead to a higher sales price. Why else would Chelsea be worth so much? So probably more of a 5 to 10 year timeframe rather than 1 to 2 years.

Agreed. Although I think that winning something(s) over the next 2 years combined with Conte, Paratici, great infrastructure etc might mean we can ask for something approaching Chelsea's price.
