Just the little clip around 5:25 with them in the tunnel until they go out is really nice for team spirit. Some of these players look close, and that's nice, but it's also important.
Not sure its viable unless we're trying to craft some kind of infinity gauntlet of left wingers, is it? Also, he was trying to go there for the bag, which doesn't seem massively ambitious.Really surprised we haven’t been linked more strongly to a loan to buy move for Jota given issues in Saudi? Has Levy written all over it. Do people think he would be at the required level?
I think he is, but we've already signed Solomon in the role he'd have taken.Really surprised we haven’t been linked more strongly to a loan to buy move for Jota given issues in Saudi? Has Levy written all over it. Do people think he would be at the required level?
when you look at how many goals we conceded last season, a lot of teams would be hesitate to make a move for him, even if he was free. For example, Inter. they preferred to pay Bayern 6m for Sommer and didn't go for Lloris who was available for less than that if not free. Hell, they had financial problem. That really tells you how bad he is.I'm surprised Real Madrid aren't interested and vice versa. I know they loaned in Kepa and Lloris apparently still wants to be a number one, but I don't really think of Kepa as a nailed on starter and being the #2 at Real Madrid is surely a good gig. We can't be asking much as a fee and getting Lloris and Kepa would seem like a really good job of dealing with Courtois' injury.
I would only consider to sell Lo Celso if we receive a very good offer that is hard to refuse. If teams continue to offer loan + option to buy, they can fuck off. I would rather keep him if we only get loan offer. Enough of all this loan offer. He is not toxic like NDombele.Lo Celso probably still has ambitions of playing for Argentina. He won't do that if he is nailed to the bench here.
So, I suspect it may be more an instance of Lo Celso wanting to leave - for a good fee - than Spurs wanting to sell.
And, if he is not part of the long-term plans here - then, it's really not a big deal to sell this season, even if it leaves us short in that creative role. In a pinch, Bentancur could be a poor-mans Maddison, if he played higher up the pitch.
Again - not ideal to sell, but not end of the world either.
Exactly. If we sell him, who would you buy to replace him and for how much? So why not to keep him? Unless if we get a huge offer that is hard to refuse, otherwise, I don't see why we need to sell him.Why would we sell Gio?
You're looking at 50 million to replace him like for like.
He's under contract and if Madddison is injured we don't have anyone to replace that skill set if we sell.
Feels like our rebuild has lost some steam. Quelle surprise.
There’s far too much work to do in 10ish days.
The rebuild is about more than just signinfigs though isn't it.I don't really think so - I think we need 1-2 really high level players who are clear improvements on what we have currently. We're not in Europe so we don't need huge squad depth, but I'd feel much better about our season with top level attacking player and CB.
Presumably Danny is holding out for a fee, which makes for a less attractive proposition. But we need to shed at least 3 non-HG players, so on the final day of the window we will tear up his contract to get a big earner who we are unable to register off the payroll. You would have expected Hugo and his agent to have figured this out for themselves so they some irons in the fire.I am very intrigued to see where Lloris ends up. Most clubs will have their first choice keepers set now so will only look at clear upgrades only you'd imagine. If I were him, I wouldn't be turning my nose up at being second choice for a CL club. Better than him being behind Forster here, or not even being registered.
Have to say i'm quite surprised he wasn't more active in trying to get a move earlier in the window where he'd have had better options but perhaps Levy had no desire to let him leave for free.
Reckon it might be one to watch towards the end of the window as an opportune addition.Really surprised we haven’t been linked more strongly to a loan to buy move for Jota given issues in Saudi? Has Levy written all over it. Do people think he would be at the required level?
