Spurs Scouting Thread

That's what I was thinking as well - but he's only 5'8" so I doubt he has Dembele's strength.

You'd be surprised, he's probably not at that Dembele/Toure level, but for someone of his stature, he is an animal...
I'm sure people are getting sick of these comparisons by now, but he plays very similar to Kante, very energetic, great at dictating and dividing play, and can run all day long!

Kelechi Iheanacho, just got dropped down a place at City, and I suspect they will buy again in the summer.

He'd be a superb back up to kane

Ndong for Sunderland seems Dembele-ish.

Ndong for Sunderland seems Dembele-ish.

Good age as well at 22.

On another note, The whole game today I thought Poch was probably lining up a move for Traore. Granted, I would rather have him than Sissoko.

I hope not. If we get a player like him, it will almost certainly be Zaha IMO.

I hope not as well, but if we are going to go for a winger that is north-south in style, I hope it's Traore as he's younger and I think he does have more potential.

Zaha has at least shown he can have some end product this season, can't be asked to get another winger with dubious - or in Traore's case - no - end product at PL level.

If we're only going to make potential signings, which may very well be Poch's philosophy, then we might as well sign no one this summer because there's arguably no actual gaps in the squad.

Trust me, I want better at our club than the likes of Zaha, Traore and Sissoko. I'm just saying from a strictly objective viewpoint, and what Poch apparently wanted when he decided he needed Sissoko, Traore would apparently fit the mold of a player to round out his attacking options.

 

[LukaKranjcar]

Adama Traore will absolutely flourish at a bigger club. Massive potential. I think he'd be great with the coaching that the likes of Poch/Pep/Klopp etc could give him and the freedom he could enjoy playing with much better players. His game has improved a fair bit even since we played Boro away start of the season.

Kasper Dolberg - Danish - Ajax - ST-WF

I am in the books saying we don't need a striker but I do like what I have seen of this kid. He is on fire right now so who knows, but he has the same turn and quick feet Suarez had at Ajax. He just drops the shoulder and rounds the oncoming CB. i love that technique and Janssen or Kane don't really have the ability to make it happen, the former more so.

The more I've seen of Dolberg the more I think we need to get him. He actually reminds me a lot of Kane, the way he picks the ball up deep, turns and carries it.

I don't want us to be sentimental about Janssen and miss the chance to sign a top talent like this.

 

[eddiev14]

Ndong for Sunderland seems Dembele-ish.

That game we played against them last week was the first time I've seen our midfield given a proper physical test since Wanyama arrived.

N'Dong looked very impressive but more of a destroyer type?

For all his detractors Sissoko actually has some end product and has a history of some in this league as well.

Traore has to be the best worst player I have ever seen. All the pace, strength, and dribbling ability in the world and yet has probably the worst decision making, shooting, and passing ability I've ever seen as well. He's a hilarious footballer to watch.

Traore's problems go well beyond coaching. He's got all the things that catch the eye, but in the end he's actually a pretty terrible player.

 

[Cravenspurs]

Lanzini at West Ham would be a decent option IMO. Good depth but maybe not starting 11 quality.

They'd never sell to us.

he has already received top coaching at la masia, simply at this point with traore it's

 

[stevenurse]

Probably a bit of a pipe dream and I've not seen much of him bar the games against us and a few bits here and there but that Lemar for Monaco? Good enough going forward to be used as a winger but would also cover for Rose too. Maybe it's too simplistic but both their full backs were incredible

think he's out of our range, Monaco rejected a large bid from Juve last summer. But if we did get him I think he'd be too good to cover Rose, he'd have to be in our starting 11.

He came from Barca and looks the bollocks on Youtube showreels taking people on. That's about all I've seen. The new Bolasie. A complete headless chicken.
