It's a pity that same penny wouldn't drop with some people round here.

Spot on. I'm all for giving youth a chance, but the amount of players that come in and make a significant impact in a team that has the ambition we have is miniscule and are clearly exceptions.

We should be going for proven internationals with ability if we can and that's when you will find out if the yoot will sink or swim. If we sign this guy, and by the end of the season KWP has upped his game, he can usurp whoever he has surpassed.

I love trippier but he's vulnerable against pace, as seen by Martial v United at home, and he looked all at sea against City. He's great when we have 80% of the ball and his job is essentially to put in cross after cross, but I can't help but think we need someone with pace down the right. Someone who fits the stereotype of a Pochettino wing back.

I agree. Henrichs has pace and is technically astute, has international experience and is very versatile. Physically he is no Bonzo, but looks fairly strong too. He is 20 years old, and already played a couple of full internationals. If he was British his value would be much higher - I think he would be a great replacement for KW.

If this was the new stadium levy would be looking compensation for the construction work being behind.

Sigh's, then switches off the caps lock... lol

This is Spurs never an easy path choosen, personally I think we will sign 2 - 3 players which hopefully will be competiion for the first team. Also I think we were waiting until the tour in USA had finished so poch can assess the youth players to then see where we have gap's that are required by dipping in the market.

But that's my onion's.

This post has made my day. I am laughing just thinking about the fury that has gone into this post.

It's spelt simeone, not someone and this is the the wrong player thread.

I think we are really struggling to sign anyone, our criteria is always going to make it tough.
We want somebody that can challenge for a place in the first team.
Cost less than a bag of wotsits.
Ideally has some construction knowledge and prepared to spend time in the week building the stadium.

Him, balde and barkley will be a massive turnaround from 3 days ago.

We can but hope.
ITK on Balde and Barkley is sounding more positive by the day.
JJ has pretty much ruled out Pereira, and Cancelo is attracting too much interest from Juve and Chelsea for us to keep up in my opinion. Which leaves Heinrichs or Toljan.
Poch's comments ahead of the Newcastle game suggest a RB is priority, so fingers crossed something is being worked on.
