@THFCSPURS19 can we get player threads started?

Despite his very obvious limitations, I do quite like Sissoko as a personality. Hope he does well at Napoli if he goes there.

 

[Now it's Spursonal]

Reports say Napoli will open talks to sign Sissoko in the coming days. Great news.

Best news we’ve had in awhile?? Been a good servant but it’s definitely time to move on

Subsidize whatever it takes.

Link to the article?

Napoli consider Sissoko bid, Atalanta want Ospina - Football Italia

Napoli have reportedly set their sights on Tottenham's Moussa Sissoko, while Atalanta want the Partenopei's goalkeeper David Ospina.

Zeki Celik and Sven Botman would be a great start. Un

Would be good if we sign Thuram and Gonzalez, sell Lamela and Moura.

That would be a great upgrade.

Add in Pellegrini & Hoffman please

crowd fund, kickstarter, charity. Fucking anything.

Demiral is one who's been linked with us a fair bit and is obviously playing in Italy atm, maybe Paratici will be looking at him as an option. I'd be happy with that.

Will do, guess I'll have to wait for UK sources for Gonzales and Thuram?

 

[BringBack_leGin]

Don’t think we’ve been linked this session but we’ve been linked in previous years, Zakaria looks like exactly what we need in the middle.

Only 12 months left on his contract too. Would be a very good bit of business

At least DiMarzio and RMC are good sources for these kinds of rumors . Will probably be a few weeks as all the UK press want to link us too is CBs (which is needed but debating CBs is boring lol)

If we’re diving into serie a head first then italian sources will be decent tbf

I think he and Hojbjerg would be a little too defensive. But if you figure out RW and Lo Celso or Ndombele can lock down the #10 spot I guess that could work.

For Gonzalez it’s all about injuries. Big muscle injury (thigh) that he then reaggravated, cost him almost 4 months. Before then had some smaller injuries, some contact, some muscular. At a young age, it does worry me, but a profile that’s needed badly in the squad.

Can play up top, on the right, or on the left, rapid, technically sound. Will take on defenders without momentum (important quality that is non-existent in the squad, bar Lucas, kind of) with technical dribbling and raw pace out wide or through the middle of the pitch. Like his finishing with his left, a lot of variety and distances, although he is one-footed with his finishing. Aggressive out of possession. He isn’t the tallest, but he’s a great leaper and dangerous with his heading, like Lucas.

At least two (hopefully 3 or 4, although I do think Bale is very useful against the lesser sides) of Bale, Vinicius, Lamela, and Lucas out replaced by Thuram and Gonzalez would be perfect to refresh the attack, and probably all that has to be done there. Don’t think we’d need another striker, as Son, Thuram, and Gonzalez all can play there well. The squad needs trimming in addition to refreshing, I think more players need to be sold than bought. And would be great to start with 2 dynamic, young, versatile, talented, and established attackers.

Maybe. I’d say neither offer less going forward than either Wanyama or Dembele, albeit I’m basing my entire view on Zak on today’s match

That's fair. I still think the lack of a secondary midfielder who could find a pass to take the load of Eriksen was a big reason for our shortcomings under Poch. But I'd happily bring back the steel in midfield if it could get us back to where we were.

Also, if Fonseca wants to play a 3-4-3 and we get really attacking wingbacks that duo is interesting.

I think our biggest reason for our failures under Poch was we had no one to take the bull by the horns. We had a team of Robins when we needed a Batman

More like a load of jokers...
