The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - 27th December 2023

Nusa is an exciting talent and it would be a brilliant piece of business if we could get him signed. Wouldn't necessarily be ready right now however as others have said, a loan for the rest of the season with his current club would make a lot of sense and would probably help the deal along if we go for him.

 

[NickHSpurs]

First Bardghji links and now Nusa ITK, FM players like me having their balls tickled.

Thanks for the positive vibes WLB, nice change this early in the window.

 

[dovahkiin]

The Talks are ongoing right now navigating payment structures and fees. we are still persistent and confident to get this done. the focus remains on crafting a comprehensive agreement with Genoa for Dragusin. Deal isn't done but it's not far from it !!

To Add personal terms are done and Tottenham has received communication from the player he's happy with the terms offered.

 

[MightySpurs]

Keep an eye I don’t know much about the player but ange seems to like him a lot.

I’m Norwegian, and follow Nusa probably a bit more than most of you.

if we get him, it would be fantastic.

So special player.
Has that x-factor and could (with the right progression) be a world class player.
Has every attribute to become one.

beats men one v one with ease, and plays what we call in Norway «løkkefotball» - don’t know the english translation, but plays like in the park.
With intuition and flair- and so much fun to watch.

was the standout player in a couple of games with Norway, with both Haaland and Ødegård in the team.

I believe we would probably call that 'flair' which is Spurs through and through

Without a care in the world. Uninhibited.

Some people may argue its indisciplined.

Others would say like N'Dombele

In NDombele's case the phrase is "Like he doesn't give a fuck"

What do you mean “like”?

Nusa is one of the 18 year olds.

 

[GetSpurredOn]

“One of” sounds promising…
Names mentioned date have been
Nusa, Vermeeren, Bardghji and Muzambo, but surely we won’t go after all of them?

Have you never played FM?!

First rule of FM is to go after all the wonderkids.

On a serious note, I hope we are thinking about development plans for these young guys we're bringing in.

Any of those would be great. They all seem like real prospects, particularly the first three. Muzambo, hasn't yet made the first team so he's a bit more of an unknown quantity.

 

[Ron Burgundy]

OOOOOOF. Lovely stuff. Looks like exactly who we should be after

 

[felmani26]

Nusa is one of the 18 year olds.

Very much approve of targeting this age group and will massively help our HG quota requiring 3 years registered with the club prior to being 21 much like Sarr's development.

Must be mindful though not to put too many hurdles in front of our own promising youth prospects however.

Thing which I’m curious about is do these players count as part of immediate squad strengthening or separate. Reality is none of them I feel would bring much to the team right away. You could maybe make an argument for Nusa and Vermeeren but Bardghji and Muzambo are quite far off being ready to contribute. Realistically tho I think all 4 (not that we would get all 4) would benefit significantly from regular first team football ether at their current club or on loan elsewhere.

Now that injuries are waning we might take the approach of just a CB in Dragusin plus maybe a half season loan for Jota. Nusa and Vermeeren on a buy and loan back deal for next season might be worth it just for the level of talent we get.

 

[Hercules]

Regarding Musa, we have been talking since summer. We fancy our chances. As you know this is a Fabio/Lange team effort. Positive feelings, but not a certainty he will come. As WLB said, one to keep our eyes on.

Musa Dembele? (Joke)

Excellent news. So pleased we're going back to investing in young talent.

The Conte approach just wasn't in our DNA. This feels much better, and I'm really liking the type of players we're going after

 

[Hercules]

CAUTION
If we bring in these youngsters, have a fear for ours. Just saying…
