I always think he looks very dangerous.....28 might be too old for us. but I think Spurs will have a " yard sale" Yes, I like him. Very quick and I think underused at spuds. For a couple of seasons, I'd be up for him signing. No resale value but hey ho, sometimes you just need an off the peg, oven ready prem player 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we could offer £3m + Engels instead. Reality is they probably have to sell some of their better players to help pay off the stadium and that emergency £175m loan they took out a year ago. Sure Kane will help raise funds but it might not be enough. Edit: Quote Tottenham have made decision about £175m Bank of England loan and how it affects their future Tottenham Hotspur took out a £175m loan from the Bank of England last year and decisions have already been made over what happens next. Spurs have £823million of long-term debt due to the financing required to build their new stadium. The loans come to maturity a year after being taken out and must be paid back in full. However, there are ways to delay the full payment until next year. "All loans must be repaid by the time the scheme closes in March 2022," a spokesperson for the Bank of England told football.london. "Participants were able to roll their loan into a new one if they still met eligibility criteria, up until 23 March 2021. For any loans that mature beyond 19 May 2021, they are specific rules around dividend payments and senior pay." football.london understands that Tottenham have given themselves more time by rolling over their Bank of England loan into a new one which gives them until March next year to pay off the full £175m. https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/news/tottenham-loan-bank-of-england-20587445 Yikes! Edit 2: It's the £175m loan that has to be repaid by 2022 not the stadium loan. Edited May 22, 2021 by sne 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you prefer £30m ish on Ivan Toney or £40m on Tammy, or neither of these? Would be a brave move to spend £70m on Toney and Buendia, or is that the price of British football nowadays? (not saying this is on the radar, just asking. But I do think we will recruit a mix of UK based talent and unearthed foreign potential). I'd rather not sign a striker* but if we were to toney a very day. An expensive one. I think we could do with a 10 mil one as a backup.

Nice to see that Spurs, particularly after their farcical ESL involvement, potentially heading towards a world of pain. Our owners view football as a sport in which business plays a major role in achieving success on the pitch. Levy just sees football as a business and measures success in £££££££.

You cannot concede goals in the prem without consequence....clean sheets are like gold dust....something to build on. I will revisit that as they have conceded 36 goals this season as opposed to 57 in 2018/19....so perhaps i have that wrong, maybe they have learned. I meant the place, not the club.

MrBlack Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Would love it if we sign someone totally off anyone's radar. I have so much faith in our transfers based on recent dealings (Sanson pending but I'm on the side of "he was a bargain"). I also expect our leadership to be able to sell us to some superstars that noone imagined we could attract or would even go after. Going to be an exciting window whatever happens, I'm so sure of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going to be an exciting window whatever happens, I'm so sure of this. It seems from now on we will mostly be targeting high stats players rather than scouts just going out looking. I'm sure those with accounts on football stat sites will probably be able to draw up a list of probable targets we have lined up ? The magic of being discovered playing Sunday league and hitting the big time seems over, at least for us. I guess age range for 1st team will be 19 to 26 League will be top 10 in the world Position of player won't be key, as seen last season with a new keeper and right back coming in when most of us thought they weren't priorities but the ones wanted were available so we got them. Price range will be upto £35 million per player Is my guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'You mustn't be afraid to dream a little bigger darling' - Eames But seriously. Why Buendia and Saint-maximan. We should be aiming for truly world class players as our first choice if they reject us so be it. But players like Oyarzabal, Bailey, Diaby etc. Should be who we are aiming for not ASM (who gets 5 goal contributions a season despite how skilled he is) and Buendia who had a shot to goal ration of 1/40 last time he was in the prem. He has gotten better a bit. But only a bit. Norwich are better as a whole and he got what 4 more assists and 3 more goals in the championship which again is probably due to the fact the rest of Norwich's team was substantially better.
