(Apologies if any of these names have been mentioned)

RB Leipzig have a couple of incredibly highly rated teenage CBs. Perhaps the more well known is Upameceno, but the one making waves this season has been Konate. I’m sure they’ll be linked with moves away in the summer.

Leipzig, like Dortmund and Monaco, seem to have an excellent scouting system, picking out the best young talent across Europe.

It's such a shame joao felix is a mendes client, would love us to get him. Looks to have serious potential from what I have seen.

Every team we play targets trippier I wonder why
I'm not sure about the diamond being a direct cause. Trippier's been getting a lot of direct support from Sissoko all season.
He has been terrible in a back 5 too which should really suit him most as a RWB, so I really don't think his form can be explained by a change of formation even if we had played the diamond all season, which we haven't.
It doesn't take a genius to work out that he's a glaring weak link.
Calm down guys, @Paolo10 will neg rep you for talking bad about him/his first love, even if you are just stating the obvious.

When a player is barely 19 and being linked with United, City, Barca and Bayern, I think it's safe to say it doesn't matter who is agent is we've got no chance in hell.

Yeah, he looks a ridiculous talent, but it’s a no go for us because of Mendes. He’ll either use Wolves as a quick stepping stone or go straight to one of the elite clubs.

I don’t mean to sound like Mr know it all but I’ve been banging on about the need to upgrade our full backs since we sold K Walker and Rose lack of focus / injuries. What we have at the moment with Trippier is a player good at one thing only ie crossing on the run the rest of his game isn’t at all good enough at all. In K Walker (yes he had a brain fart from time to time) you had tremendous recovery athleticism on the overlap defensively very good with one on one just an all round better fit

I really like Leicester's Ricardo Pereira - How Leicester managed to pick him up under the radar like Kante before hats off to them.

We were linked for at least one summer before - we just dropped the ball.

No we didn’t drop the ball we chose Aurier. I’m actually not as big a Pereira fan as many here, think he is suspect defensively but there is no doubt the choice of Aurier after 6 months of scouting for a Walker replacement is just perplexing given the other alternatives available at the time. The only hope is that he follows his Toulouse mate Sissoko and has a conversion next season to the best RB in the league although I very much doubt it.

We "chose Aurier" inasmuch as Pereira had a representation structure that DL apparently doesn't deal with.

? Aurier was more expensive than Perreira.
The feeling being that PSG cast offs are cheap relative to “fair value”, nonsense of course if you get fair value wrong.

A long time ago I worked in retail and some people would only focus on the discount not the price, we operate a bit like that with players.

We're going to spend the entire Summer hoping that Levy does something with the fullbacks but I'd be shocked if Tripper isn't still here next season. He needs to go but Poch seems to love him and you get a sense that Levy and the decision makers at Spurs don't see him as a problem.

Don't think he does. You can see how frustrated he gets with him and has made subtle digs about him without making him

Pereira is decent. Has athleticism and a decent touch and can actually run with the ball
