mikeyp102 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 We need more goals as a team. Whether that’s from a goal scorer or someone to create (or both). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 Just now, Tom13 said: So same numbers equals same ability? Kulusevski is better than Bailey. Plays with intelligence. I thought it would just be an interesting discussion, didn't know Spurs had an option to buy though. They have an obligatory deal to buy if he plays a certain number of minutes in a fixed number of games (or if they qualify for the CL lol) Supposedly Spurs are trying to haggle on the set price (€40m or so) and maybe even trying to get out of the deal if they can't get the price down. All speculation and most likely he signs for them but imo he'd be perfect in this team and system. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post M_Afro Posted May 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2023 Getting rid of Danny Ings in January was an amazing bit of transfer business for us. He is absolutely done as a player. We’d have been saddled with his wages dragging down our ffp but fortunately he’s just doing it to West Ham instead now. More brilliance from our manager. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone who doesnt get to go to VP often, I remember seeing him against Stevenage and genuinely being stunned at how bad his movement was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would surprise me in the slightest. That would be great, but we can't expect that to happen every year on the grounds that it did last time. The deals we are working on may take a little longer this time and players with alternatives, might want a little longer to weigh up their options.

Asensio, on the other hand, would be a meltdown signing that instantly transforms our attack. It’s not instead of anyone, it’s as well as. We have a small squad and looking at being serious in the league, two domestic cups and hopefully Europe, that’s a lot of games. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their board might have put pressure on Moyes to take him. At the time Moyes was on thin ice and was close to potentially getting the sack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get that, but spending big wages on another player in a position we already have arguably the most depth in the squad is puzzling to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs have been shite this year but could pip us to Europe, I’d definitely take him, as he’s versatile and still only 23. He is a very good player, but he IS signing for Spurs, so who cares?

Delphinho123 Posted May 21, 2023 Share Posted May 21, 2023 (edited) Signing Ings was the one obviously daft bit of business we’ve done since NSWE took over. Some transfers haven’t worked out - Sanson, Bailey, Buendia (for the price paid) etc. but they were good moves at the time. I remember especially being excited about Buendia and Bailey. But Ings? Just stupid on the contract he was given. I bet he couldn’t believe it when Villa came knocking. Edited May 21, 2023 by Delphinho123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
