Interesting that Paratici doesn’t fancy him. Did he not sign him for Juventus? Bit of a red flag for me - the guy who last signed him wouldn’t sign him again

Paratici was actually trying to sell him when he was at Juve

EDIT: Just saw that @Bluto Blutarsky already addressed this

 

[Parkie]

I think you missed my point- Paratici was trying to push Dybala out of Juve. Seems unlikely he would now want to bring him in.

Wasn’t that because he wouldn’t sign a new contract and Paratici didn’t want him to end up going for free… which he now is?

Juve was negotiating a new deal until earlier this season when Juve pulled the offer.

When a report says Paratici is not interested, I think it’s believable.

Last window it was Traore and this window Saint-Maximin, it would seem that Paritici/Conte want someone who can dribble at players.

yep a progressive ball carrier who gets you up the pitch quickly and breaks lines is a very useful tool ASM fits the bill from what I have seen

 

[brasil_spur]

Would rather sign someone that has a proven record of scoring goals and end product. He's similar to traore in that he runs a lot for very little end product.

We don’t need someone in his position that scores goals, since the start of the year we’ve been strong in that front. What we lack is a player that can break down teams that sit deep against us.

Why would you want someone with bad table manners?

 

[dovahkiin]

any reason the djed story didnt make it here?

Tottenham winning battle to land Djed Spence from Middlesbrough - with Nottingham Forest already lining up alternatives

TOTTENHAM are leading the race to sign Djed Spence, with Nottingham Forest already lining up potential alternatives to the Middlesbrough full-back.

Update time from my end.

We are hoping for more movement in this week.

Spence is moving well and although I'm not keen it's still encouraging if he was the first option.

Bastoni no change, still progressing. Despite what the journo's are saying my man reiterated again he's happy to come and has spoken to Conte personally.

For CF Scamacca is high on Conte's wish list. There are other options though and he's not cheap. We definitely want a big strong CF.

Kostic not off the table as yet it's a balance of addressing a number of needs and he's not a priority now but could address some of those requirements depending on how else we strengthen.

ASM. No idea if we are actually interested and wasn't in the original plans. Agent whoring him and not just to us, I guess if the price was right we might see what we can do. Personally think this is agent driven more than THFC(last sentence is opinion).

Been told we have a strong interest in two Midfielders both in Italy and neither are Italian one more attacking the other more of an all rounder. Won't put the names out until there is a stronger link than currently out there.

Thanks @Trix

I think the only surprise there is that Kostic isn’t off the table

 

[whitechina]

Thanks Trix for the update.
Let the guessing games begin!

Or just dont! The rules are quite simple. Not as simple as some of the SC members that inevitably will, but still.

 

[Col_M]

I suspect the movements will kick off again after this period of international games have completed and players can return to their day to day business

 

[For the love of Spurs]

Thanks @Trix

with Sess and Kostic (if it did happen!!) makes me think Perisic being a very positionally versatile player might not end up at LWB. Like you wasn’t expecting to hear that ITK update.

Would expect so. I'm not going to say these internationals are a problem because it's the same for everyone, but it's definitely an inconvenience for all.

This is interesting. Would that mean that Eriksen is off the table?

All foreigners except for Forster, our HG might be in trouble

Thanks Trix. Its reassuring.

In a normal year it would be the world cup soon, that would be worse.

Im assuming this is a general question and not aimed specifically for me to answer, so I'll give my opinion on it.

Eriksen seems to have gone quiet. It feels like someone isn't keen on it, be that Conte, FP or Eriksen himself. Now maybe that's just because he's said he wants to wait until after the internationals to make a decision, but it was looking positive early on and now no news at all.
