Chindie Posted October 14, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 14, 2019 Eric Dier is one of those links that really do make you believe theres a hat full of names and a hat full clubs and the intern gets to pull out 5 from each every Friday afternoon and they drop them in the spaces needing filling over the coming week. Absolutely senseless. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I would rather re-sign Whelan than sign Dier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is SUCH an Everton signing. I would be shocked if they don't pick him up for a cool £15m only for him to be a shadow of his former self.

abdulaziz1 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Jarrod Bowen. Could do with Benrahma too. Would make us stock in terms of wingers but I think Bowen is more forward. Not sure what we'll do as we still need Jack to be on a front 3. Therefore as much as I want Benrahma, I think a delay to the summer with getting Bowen in a reasonable price would be perfect. He could be a back up as a striker too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meregreen Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Dier isn’t good enough for Spurs. There’s a reason for that. He really isn’t that good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junxs Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I'd like to see a backup left back, Targett has shown just what we have been missing when he doesnt play. Taylor offers nothing going forward and a fullback who offers something going forward changes the whole dynamic of the team. If Targett is out for whatever reason then its vital to have someone who can fill his shoes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Such a shame James Justin didn't want to join. Perfect cover/challenger for both full back positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacketspuds Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Winger and striker would be great. Possibly a LB if a decent young player is available. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the Dier article I read they had Everton at fourth favourites to sign him alongside West Ham with us third, then about two paragraphs later they had them at second favourites. I’ve generally stopped reading their rubbish, I mistakenly followed a link to the article. Confirmed I haven’t been missing anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We wouldn’t do a massive strengthening but if someone is available in January we’d sign them, even if we loaned them back to their club ala Gilbert It cost us in the mon era not strengthening when in prime position to do so, then the one time we did try to do so, we made the wrong signing for the team (Heskey).

Three or four top quality signings that could end up breaking bank and be above 30 mill each is a sure bet come January. That's all we really need to do is bring a LB, two winger and a striker to partner Wesley. It will be quality added to our quantity of signings that will reassure us of next season in the prem. Spending smartly doesn't have to stop, we did really well in the summer but I do think that we had to spend and plan for both survival and life back in the championship. It's all good we now have a squad capable of so much, so bringing in some real tasty talent is a must. Our transfer plans do really have to evolve now and we must look at bringing in the best to start challenging properly as i look at our games and its obvious we could more than just survive the drop. We could do a mid table run, especially if last games results continue on in a positive way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubberman Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Ha. We won't be bringing in 2 wingers in Jan. We have 3 for one spot as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
