The Transfer Wishlist Thread

[cliff jones]

The Werner signing confirms Willian is off imho and I’d be very happy to see him come, whether Lamela stays or goes given the latter only plays half a season at most anyway.

Aarons particularly if Norwich go down- I think he’s gonna becomes fine RB.

Not that keen on PEH, would prefer a more mobile destroyer. Actually, if Jose wants an all rounder, there’s a Monchengladbach cm who I really like, who wouldn’t cost that much. Can’t remember the fkers name though and I need to run, sorry

It would be silly to sell Sissoko. First, he is a valuable squad player, rarely injured and capable of playing multiple positions. Even if his not in Jose’s first XI, he would be very useful off the bench. Second, where are these rumours coming from that names him as a departure. I don’t think I have ever seen his name linked in the press.
Spurs like to feature him on social media in training pics, which suggests he is a big part of the squad in the future.

[Update 18] Tottenhamboys Roundup

When: 31st Jan 2020 Where: Here Who: Tottenhamboys Jose is happy. As he said, he wanted a striker but not any old donkey for any old Dollar. There is a very good allocation of funds for the summer and we have already held talks with targets and it’s looking very good. Jose was offered Piatek...

Denis Zakaria is the DM and would be an ideal signing

Raid the relegation teams (RT), out of contract players (OC), those into final year (FY), or those from lesser leagues (LL) that’s where the market value will suit us, but still some quality to be had.

RB - Meunier (OC) / Aarons (RT) & Ferguson (OC)
CB - Sarr (OC) / Mings? (RT)
DM - Hojberg (FY) / Sangare (RT)
AM - Willian (OC) / Fraser (OC) & Eze (LL)
CF - Giroud (FY) / Muriqi (LL) / Edouard (LL) / Guirassy (RT) / Watkins (LL)

Taking into account we’ll possibly move on Vorm, Aurier/Foyth, Walker-Peters, Carter-Vickers, Vertonghen, Rose, Sissoko?, Lamela? Probably fall within our limited budget if both fees recouped and wages cleared, and whilst not all instant stars, there is some real potential quality, and we’d see as much benefit from improved squad balance as we would big imports.

There could also be some other options added to that list if we can get Mendes to offer up some Gedson type long term loan deals, Dias, Luis etc. It’s how he helped Wolves, a lot of their initial signings were on loan.

Not all doom and gloom, we just need to be smart, and I think a lot of clubs will be in the same position, it’s just not out there yet. Market is going to be hugely affected. A lot of clubs will be forced to sell players due to financial difficulties, and those kind of sales generally go under previous market value.

It's weird that we stopped being linked with Ferguson when we will br focused more on free deals and he can cover left and right back

Unfortunately that level of (player) transfer activity won’t be getting us top 4 next season. It’s a real frustration. I know it’s not always about spending lots of cash but are they really good enough to challenge for top 4. I don’t think they are. Are they the kind of signings to keep players like Son and Kane satisfied? They aren’t are they?

I think there was something wrong with his knee that was picked up in a medical with Palace.

If we end up with Aarons,Hojbjerg and backup striker it would mean we improved in the most important position. Wouldn't say that won't get top 4 - the other clubs won't improve also in that case.

Kane and Son probably understand that we have/had pandemic.

ive heard he’s good but Neuhaus is the young fella who’s caught my eye watching the Bundesliga restart. Does a bit of everything including putting his foot in

 

[yankspurs]

Chelsea are showing what is possible in the current environment when a club is backed by a suggardaddy. That describes nearly half the Premier League at this point. It's the richest league in the world, there will likely be a bit of spending this summer even if fees deflate massively because of the situation.

We only need to make two or three sales of between 10-15m in order to make the wishlist I posted possible. Between Rose, Lamela, Sissoko and Foyth we should hopefully be able to find two or three buyers.

Well we shouldnt be calling an owner investing any money being a sugar daddy. Sure there are definitely sugar daddy clubs but there are also some clubs where the owner will pitch in at times to help the club. This crisis would be one of those times where an owner might be more inclined to pitch in to help. This would be a time like that for our own club. Unfortunately for Spurs, the owner is not to be relied on to provide even £1 worth of assistance.

It’s all just opinion, everyone sees differently, but I respectfully disagree with you. Not all signings need to be out and out world beaters, we already have some of them, we just need to strike the balance of players who allow them the freedom to play. DM is the key one for me, one who can command the centre of the park through spacial awareness and has the athleticism to cover the ground. Someone who in a 433 can sit infront of the CB’s and give the protection for the fullbacks to provide width without us having to go so wildly lopsided, and also allow the likes of Lo Celso and Ndombele to dominate in possession.
From a second CF, we don’t necessarily need a goal machine, we need someone hardworking and physically capable of occupying CB’s and holding onto the ball so the likes of Son, Moura, Bergwijn, Alli can play off into the spaces. That’s what we miss with Kane not playing, there’s no focal ‘out ball’, and we lose posession which just invites more pressure back onto us. If we have that alternative, we don’t have to run Kane into the ground.m, we can start bringing him off if we’re comfortable, keep him fresher.

Those were the five mentioned in the ITK thread yesterday.

As much as I like the guy, we are pretty flush at CM (Winks, N'Dombele, Gedson, GLC), need a specialist DM and have young Skipp coming through. If you were to look at things without any emotion, Sissoko (turning 31 this summer) will be utilised less next season and is probably on better wages than some of the others.

I don't see how you can have a system where owners can 'help out' without the likes of Man City and PSG abusing it and restarting the whole doping aspect that has only just started biting and punishing the offenders.

If we we’re to sign PEH, Edouard, Mounier, (although I’d prefer Aaron’s or Doherty, TM obv being a freebie tho), Willian, and possibly Sangare (I believe his team were relegated) then that’s a very decent window with not a lot actually spent. Take in to account what we may bring in from sales too.

If we were able to do the above, and make enough from sales, and Villa went down, it would be a fantastic signing to get Grealish in. I think he’d really add something to this team, All the above also gives us flexibility with formations, 4-3-3, 4-3-2-1, 3-5-2, and 3-4-2-1.

To be honest I don't want to see us flexible with multiple formations, we need to try and really excel with just the one first. Have a system and setup that works so we can play in a similar way regardless of who fills those positions. Have seen too many games of ours of recent in which we have no pattern of play and no real style.

We have completely lost our identity in the last season or two. Find a system that suits our squad (433). Put players in their best and most natural position and start to build for the future. I still don't think we are too far off having a very good 433, just need some stability.

 

[McArchibald]

But we have a new stadium and are run organically! I thought thats what we were rooting for? Go Tottenham Hotspur Stadium & accounting!

Instead of helping us, the stadium is fast becoming the bane of our existence. It stymied the natural development of Poch's team, ultimately driving him out. And now the club seems moribund - drowning in debt.
Enic have only succeeded in lining their own pockets. Time for them to clear off and to let fresh capital flow into the club.

Generally the 433 is an interesting system i can see fitting to GLC, Tanguy or Sonny.
Not sure though if we have a good option for the CDM and mostly i can not see really the spot for Dele.
For me Dele is best just off Kane with placing himself in the box for some decent finishes if he is on form.

LOL, the stadium is generating a lot of money which already was used to buy a players and you couldn't predict the pandemic(and every club will suffer). Natural development of Poch's team was stymied by Poch.

I agree. I think we need to have a CDM to protect the defence though as we are too easy to cut open. Any off Skipp, Sissoko, Foyth could probably do a job but next season we need to bring in a specialist. As for Dele I don't think he is good enough now to build a system around whereas I think Ndombele and Lo Celso could be. Dele could play as the most attacking in a midfield 3 or off the left but not his best position.
