Hmmmmm sorry but I’m super cynical about spurs at moment and just smacks of us going for the cheaper option and that always works out well…

We should be paying the money for a home grown proven league quality goal keeper in Raya.
It's not worth paying 25m just for a home grown option if the player profile and the stats are pretty much the same.

I'm thrilled to see there appears to be a clear plan and progression through potential targets, as well as what looks like some level of urgency to bring these players in early in the summer.

Loris - 4 errors made which lead to a goal from 25 league games

Vicario - 1 error made which lead to a goal from 31 games

The price quoted is very very cheap, why would Empoli accept such a low fee?

Our last 4 signings from the Italian league:

Romero - quality
Deki - quality.
Bentancur - quality.
Udogie - potential quality.

We clearly know the market and league very well.
Missing perisic but despite people’s views of him, he’s done alright. Not his fault that the defence had more holes that a potato waffle.

So that's it then, we've settled on signing Vicario instead of Raya?

I just hope this works out for us...

I may be getting my keepers muddled but I thought people who had posted on here said this keeper wasn’t that great with his distribution?

Don’t get me wrong I’d love it if he turned out to be a hidden gem, I’m just a little concerned having looked at our previous business where at times we’ve gone for the cheaper deal rather than the option that would improve us.

Saw other rumblings of this as well - seems they thought that the natural move was to Inter but Onana moving is proving difficult.

Defensively Perisic has been absolutely atrocious and very much part of our defensive problems this season.

We looked so much more solid when Davies played left wing back.

Perisic was class with some of his assists, but unfortunately his negatives out weighted that.

Not his fault and was worth a punt, but the age gamble didn’t pay off and the english league was just too much for him defensively.
