It is great to see the continued and substantial investment in young players. This lad is on top of Kerr Smith this window. The club is really building for the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'd never do that. No sir. But football fans forums are full of experts that know far more than the expensive scouting networks and analytics people employed by clubs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thabucks Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Joao Palhinha Price has been set to £25mill apparently … https://www.teamtalk.com/tottenham-hotspur/joao-palhinha-contact-paratici-spurs-competition-man-utd-bruno-fernandes-loves-him Quote According to reports from Portugal, however, Tottenham could have some joy with a planned move for Palhinha. The Sporting Lisbon midfielder is a long-term target of the clubs, emerging as a player of interest under Jose Mourinho. Back then, Sporting valued the 26-year-old midfielder at £33.5m (€40m). However, his value is said to have diminished slightly since then, with his asking price set at £25m (€30m). And the reduced fee is, according to Record, reported to have alerted Spurs.

Delphinho123 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I'm with Pissflaps. I don't see him as being good enough offensively as an 8 and doubt he's an upgrade on Luiz as a 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe check-out the diagram that @ejs1111 just posted on the Bentancur thread that puts him in the top 5 most rounded midfield players 23 or under in Europe (in terms of being in the > 75th percentile of players for ball-winning, progression and retention). I mean that really does suggest that he's a pretty ****ing complete midfielder. Edited January 25, 2022 by allani 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw someone say something about the lad from league 1, anything else? - Young lad from Sunderland allegedly coming into U23s for £6.5m. though SAFC fans seem to think it's a wind up (allegedly there was a link they'd get Elmo in return, which for obvious reasons can't be true) - No more players leaving on loan (Percy). Not great for Barry, Kesler, Young, Bogarde etc. Although now they have chance to make the first team. Potentially means Trez isn't leaving to Turkey as his rumour was always on loan - Luiz being looked at by 'loads of clubs' and one to keep an eye on. Arsenal named. (Fabrizio) - Bentancur linked again, alleged bid gone in, now in discussions with agent but bid not accepted as yet (not from a reputed source and no word on Bid value) separate link says £18m Edited January 25, 2022 by HalfTimePost 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheltenham_villa Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 21 hours ago, HalfTimePost said: Not sure this will end up being us but a Premier League team have had a bid accepted for 16 year old CB Will Armitage. He's made 2appearances in the Papa Johns Trophy. The youngest Cheltenham player to ever make a first team appearance. Obviously we've been hoovering up young talent and we've only just done business with Cheltenham after sending Aaron Ramsey there on loan last week. Being around their first team (sort of) and in the PJ Trophy, he'd likely want to be in and around the U23s. We already have Bogarde, Swinkels, Feeney and now Kerr in those positions but at 16 he could really develop there with Feeney over the next couple years if Bogarde/Swinkels go on loan or if Kerr (or any of the others) are fast tracked to the first team squad. Paging @cheltenham_villa to share an opinion Its really interesting and I'm afraid I can't offer much of a view. I watched him against Chelsea but didn't realise his age and potential. What confused me today is that Cheltenham are often a club who are promoting other clubs youth players, to have such potential on your own bench seems odd. Villa must have been aware but sounds like he's Southampton bound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
