Adrien Silva on leaving Sporting Lisbon and Spurs' reported interest in him
"I was not in touch with anyone during the Confederations Cup. I preferred to focus completely on this event and finish it in the best way.
[On Spurs] "The best players are there [in the Premier League], and the English championship is recognised by all as one of the best.

"Let's just let things run. I have a contract with Sporting, but nothing is certain."

He's been pretty unimpressive in the Confederations Cup. From the 3 matches i've watched he isn't a step up on what we already have . It's a no from me.

 

[Hoddle&Waddle]

Seri is 26 later this month, not that long-term.

A potential 6-7 years maybe a few more is pretty 'long term' in todays game.

 

[coys200]

Age wise makes no sense.We need to be looking for a long term successor to dembele.Which may be winks or onomah.if not we need to sign someone 26 oldest really or there's little point.Im pretty convinced at least for this season winks/onamah will share understudy role and a decision be made end of season if either or both are truly good enough.Added to that youth wise we also have Oakley-boothe and roles coming through in a year or 2 .We are pretty blessed CM wise going forward.

@JornalNoticias report that Sporting Lisbon's Adrien Silva has accepted Tottenham's offer to join the club. #THFC

 

[Littleharry]

I find this possible transfer so underwhelming.

Stambouli 2.0,

I really hope there is no truth in this.

Who's contract runs out next year. We should be all over him.

He's probably going to Bayern I think.

Bayern. to be announced soon as said during Confed cup

 

[spursfan77]

I do think we were a bit short in central midfield during Dembele's absence. He's such a problem for this team. Both good and bad.

 

[EQP]

Seems we're buying him to help with our lack of CL experience.

30m 28y , no chance

JJ's said its BS. I have to commend the Portuguese media for running a story that is completely false for so long.

Well he has 2 seasons worth of experience in the CL, won a Euro's and over 230 games for Sporting with about 80-90 off those appearances as captain of the team. I'm not personally for this signing but I can see why Poch would be interested. Even for four years, having that experienced head to help us can do wonders for our younger players.

Whew, I was trying to make sense of this all.

 

[doctor stefan Freud]

My nut dust has more chance of signing
