Son Heung Min - signed

[raggy]

Haha Sky Sports England say he's in London now... massive back-pedalling from them today!

"Sky Germany understands that the 23-year-old is in London to undergo a medical."

Lets all learn from this. Sky Sports are often quite behind. Kicker is the best source in Germany, if they say something it usually sticks.

Personally, I think he's not good enough against a packed defense.

He's the type of player who needs space and transition to thrive, and in our system those chances come rarely if ever.

Can you imagine the scenes if we actually pull this off?

Actual scenes.

 

[Bus-Conductor]

Waiting for @THFCSPURS19 to walk in, say he's seen him once and declare he's the South Korean Karim Benzema but even better because he can play as a winger, wide forward and sweeper too.

All very positive on here which is good to see but I thought Ben had dis'd this. Not been around for an hour or more so did I miss some good news?

Well pretty much everywhere is now in agreement he's in London now for a medical with us. So I would say he simply didn't have all the info on this. Very much seems on to me!

 

[IMissTheWaddler]

Fuck it, it's a new signing I've never heard of so I'm excited!

Game, set and match. Well done to you both, some nice brevity before the evening meltdown when someone tweets that it's off

Probably about same amount of fluid will be released as when a deal looks likes it's going to collapse!

It comes with our system, just not with our current crop of players. That's why we brought in N'Jie and why I sincerely hope we get either Berahino or Son, or best of all, both

 

[ParkySpur]

BEN did dismiss that he was in England, but remember ITKs get info at different times etc. things may have changed.

 

[Spurs 1961]

Moutinho?

Nice idea!

If we pull this off I'll be walking around the whole of the next day like this

 

[Cravenspurs]

If true, which we have all learned to take with a grain of salt, this is a massive get for us. He has the strength to step in immediately and is massively impressive with both feet. I lived in Korea for three years and watched this boy plenty to know that he is still very much on the rise. He does go missing, but he is a real threat out there and this move actually shows intent, which for us sounds damn near mental.

 

[EnfieldYiddo]

I'm letting myself believe but in the full knowledge it's most likely not real... Guessing everyone is in the same boat

-------------------Kane---------------------
---Berahino----Eriksen---------Son-----

+ Njie, Pritchard, Chadli, Dembele, Andros would look pretty decent. But I would be totally shocked if we pull that one and a good CM out of the hat.

Personally, the lack of creativity in that line up would be a concern for me. It would be direct and fast which is great but without Eriksen, Pritch would be the only other player who would fit the creative attacker mould and he has never had a season in the prem. On top of the fact Eriksen has been pretty poor and suffers from consistency I think we would struggle to break teams down who sit back and clog the box with defenders.

Ben did backtrack a bit and say that the player was interested but his club did'nt want to sell.

Is that not rue of all players who just offer pace and little else? Townsend, Lennon etc get shut down by teams allowing us to have the ball, pack defences and then hit us with counter attacks ... Big Sam was expert at that.

However we need a variety of players in the side so need pacy players and creative types. If we offer opposition a number of challenges it is harder for them to shut us down. When we only have one threat it is all too easily countered

Actual scenes.

Imagine if we announce it tonight.
