The Spurs Transfer Wishlist & Scouting Thread

[bceej]

Absolutely no fucking idea what this messiah of ITK is on about. It's supposedly a cryptic.

Think it’s Timon & Pumbaa and therefore Timo Werner.

Opinions/dreams for summer transfers. Based off of links, ITK, and personal preferences

CB:
OUT: Toby out £25mil. JJ basically confirmed he's off
Replacement options:
Andersen €25mil. I don't know too much about him, but the Italian media have linked us heavily to him, and stylistically he could be similar with 5.7 long balls per game
De Ligt €60mil+ this would be my dream signing and probably most others too. Barca has reportedly made/agreed €60mil fee for him, which I’d like to believe we could afford, especially if we’re letting go of such an important player in Toby. But realistically we’re competing against the biggest teams in every top 5 league for him so I really doubt we’d get him. I think especially after Ajax beat Real Madrid that exposed him even more and we’ve now left it too late to get him. A shame considering how maturely he reads the game and how he would of had a preexisting relationship with Dav
Ake £30mil. Positives of him is that he’s left footed, home grown and relatively decent on the ball. However he’s short for a CB and he’s part of one of the worst defences the last 3 seasons. He’s 24 and has 3 season of prem experience, but personally I’ve yet to be convinced by him, but could be down to Bournemouths’ defensive system.

RB:
OUT: Trippier or Aurier £20mil. One of them has to go. I am far from Trippiers biggest fan, in fact he annoys me like no one else. But he is HG, and in a 3atb his crossing can be utilised and there is less defensive responsibility on him. But he is also getting old and if there are offers, this is the best time to cash in, especially after this abysmal season. I think Aurier is attracting interest from China and would be happy to move.
Side note KWP, if Poch doesn’t trust him enough to start over either of these two after two season and Trips and Serge constantly underperforming then we may as well cash in and let him rebuild his career elsewhere.
Replacement options:
Aaron Wan-Bissaka ~£40mil. Imo we can’t afford to wait with this guy and need to conclude a deal ASAP before the biggest teams come in for him. When he came into the palace set up last January and his numbers were insane that’s when we should’ve taken notice, and now that he’s proved throughout a full season that he can sustain those numbers we need to sign him asap. Articles by statsbomb have shown that our right side of defence is by far our weakest and is constantly being exploited, so to sign AWB who is Van Dijk-esque in the sense that if someone takes him on, they simply don't get past. Also as a former winger i have no worries about him going forward more often in a more possession dominant team, and especially with Poch coaching him too.
Max Aarons ~£20mil? got to be honest I don't know much about him, but he's starting in a very good Norwich side and is just 19. HG. I'd like to think of him as the option we go after if we don't get CL next season rather than top of our list
Youcef Atal £??? seen comparisons to walker, blistering speed, has played all down the right hand side. Wouldn't be homegrown so i imagine he's not one of our first choices but certainly worth a look

LB:
OUT: Davies or Rose £20mil? Neither of them are good/consistent enough to start for us, especially as Poch is a manager who utilises fullbacks so much. Davies doesn't have the attacking output, isn't particularly fast, and isn't HG. Rose is crocked and can't play more than like 4 times a month and will be 29 by next season
Replacement options:
Ryan Sessegnon £25mil. Once Fulham are inevitably relegated we should be able to get him for a much more reasonable price than the £50mil quoted last summer, per JJ's info. He's HG, 19 by next season, very keen to work with Poch (again, thanks JJ) and very pacey. Personally i'm quite skeptical on his ability to play as LB good enough for a CL team and his performances for an admittedly poor Fulham side haven't done him too many favours.
Kieran Tierney £30mil. Biggest downside is that he's not HG, but the guy is quality. A friend of mine who's a Celtic fan says that the consensus is that he's better at this stage than Van Dijk was when he left Celtic. Under Rodgers he has played as a much more attacking fullback and a more disciplined one too, excelling at both.
Ferland Mendy £??? in Lyon games i've watched (mostly for Ndombele) he's stood out, here's hoping for a double deal ? strong and powerful yet still fast. has played LB and LWB
Grimaldo/Telles £30mil. Neither HG, but both have great attacking output. a couple pages back there are some glowing appraisals of Grimaldo. Grimaldo is 23 so could still be developed further, but is really short and not very physical. Telles is a bit older at 26 but taller and more first team ready with CL experience.

DM/CM:
OUT: Wanyama £15-25mil (If he can pass a medical) would be sad to see him go but persistent injuries have gotten the better of him
IN:
Ndombele £55-75mil. Absolute dream signing, after being a CM down after selling Dembele in January and the fact we didn't sign anyone for two windows, Poch deserves to get backed big for a player he wants in a position we desperately need strengthening in. If you have time to kill and want to watch compilations of him in big games and see stats from these big games too then search "#NdombeleWatch" on twitter as i've already and feast your eyes on them. Seems like the competition for him will be high, but im sure we could guarantee first team football
Kovacic (player exchange with Eriksen) already talked in depth HERE about why/how he'd make a good Dembele replacement
Giovani Lo Celso £???, excellent all round midfielder, amazing statistically going forwards and backwards, and he's played across a variety of positions and roles this season which Poch likes. A lot of clubs will be in for him in PSG don't decide to recall him at the end of his loan
Rabiot Free, but big signing bonus. Very well rounded player, but unlikely to have played since december by the time he arrives. Could be a big personality that may upset the dressing room, but it's a risk worth taking
Jack Grealish <£25mil. Probably the most realistic choice sadly :/ he'll be 24 by the beginning of next season. He's HG and has some good stats albeit at championship level. WhoScored seems to really rate him with his statistically calculated strengths and weaknesses, and like Lo Celso hes versatile and played multiple positions/roles this season
Sander Berge <£15-18mil. I believe a slightly more defensive player, tall, young, strong, dembele-esque, but I think i remember seeing that he had injury problems once upon a time. Only seen YouTube compilations tbh, and mostly played in Belgium, but he's performed well in the Europa League too

CAM
OUT: Eriksen £90-120mil, and possible player exchanges plus cash too. Will miss him but if he wont sign a new contract with 1 year left we need to let him go and achieve his dream
Replacement option:
Ziyech £30-40mil. He's creating an obscene amount of chances per game. 26 so entering his prime, versatile. Whoscores strengths and weaknesses include 'defensive contribution' so that can alleviate some fans' fears that our replacement wont be able to press or defend from the front. What will probably catch most fan eyes is 29 game played (eredivise and CL) 16 goals, 11 assists.
Kai Havertz £60mil? young, versatile attacking mid. We have a good relationship with Leverkusen (as far as i know) im sure they would rather sell abroad than give another generational talent to Bayern Munich so we might get him cheaper than other prices quoted. He has the third most successful dribbles by teenagers in europes top 5 leagues which could offer us something a bit different

TRIMMING THE SQUAD
Vorm and LLorente released
In: Any HG third choice keeper, and Son backup stiker until Troy Parrott can step up.
Janssen £10mil?
GKN £5mil

Then over the next few seasons, sell on Lamela (he's 27 now wtf) and upgrade our wide options, Lloris who's been on a steady decline and replace with Onana?

TLDR
Out: (total of £195mil coming in)
Toby £25mil
Tripps/Serge £20mil
Rose/Davies £20mil
Wanyama £15mil
Eriksen £100mil
dead wood £15mil

In: (total spend 195)
Andersen £20mil
AWB £40mil
Tierney £30mil
Ndombele £65mil
Ziyech £40mil

Let me know your thoughts and opionions, and ITK's don't dash my hopes too quickly

I think we’ll still be picking off less wealthy clubs and cast offs from the big boys.

So Andersen, Sessegnon, Atal, Lo Celso and Ziyech would be my picks. That’d definitely stabilise and provide potential in the squad.

Absolute dream signing, after being a CM down after selling Dembele in January and the fact we didn't sign anyone for two windows, Poch deserves to get backed big for a player he wants in a position we desperately need strengthening in. If you have time to kill and want to watch compilations of him in big games and see stats from these big games too then search "#NdombeleWatch" on twitter as i've already and feast your eyes on them. Seems like the competition for him will be high, but im sure we could guarantee first team football
Kovacic (player exchange with Eriksen) already talked in depth HERE about why/how he'd make a good Dembele replacement
Giovani Lo Celso £???, excellent all round midfielder, amazing statistically going forwards and backwards, and he's played across a variety of positions and roles this season which Poch likes. A lot of clubs will be in for him in PSG don't decide to recall him at the end of his loan
Rabiot Free, but big signing bonus. Very well rounded player, but unlikely to have played since december by the time he arrives. Could be a big personality that may upset the dressing room, but it's a risk worth taking
Jack Grealish <£25mil. Probably the most realistic choice sadly :/ he'll be 24 by the beginning of next season. He's HG and has some good stats albeit at championship level. WhoScored seems to really rate him with his statistically calculated strengths and weaknesses, and like Lo Celso hes versatile and played multiple positions/roles this season
Sander Berge <£15-18mil. I believe a slightly more defensive player, tall, young, strong, dembele-esque, but I think i remember seeing that he had injury problems once upon a time. Only seen YouTube compilations tbh, and mostly played in Belgium, but he's performed well in the Europa League too

CAM
OUT: Eriksen £90-120mil, and possible player exchanges plus cash too. Will miss him but if he wont sign a new contract with 1 year left we need to let him go and achieve his dream
Replacement option:
Ziyech £30-40mil. He's creating an obscene amount of chances per game. 26 so entering his prime, versatile. Whoscores strengths and weaknesses include 'defensive contribution' so that can alleviate some fans' fears that our replacement wont be able to press or defend from the front. What will probably catch most fan eyes is 29 game played (eredivise and CL) 16 goals, 11 assists.
Kai Havertz £60mil? young, versatile attacking mid. We have a good relationship with Leverkusen (as far as i know) im sure they would rather sell abroad than give another generational talent to Bayern Munich so we might get him cheaper than other prices quoted. He has the third most successful dribbles by teenagers in europes top 5 leagues which could offer us something a bit different

TRIMMING THE SQUAD
Vorm and LLorente released
In: Any HG third choice keeper, and Son backup stiker until Troy Parrott can step up.
Janssen £10mil?
GKN £5mil

Then over the next few seasons, sell on Lamela (he's 27 now wtf) and upgrade our wide options, Lloris who's been on a steady decline and replace with Onana?

TLDR
Out: (total of £195mil coming in)
Toby £25mil
Tripps/Serge £20mil
Rose/Davies £20mil
Wanyama £15mil
Eriksen £100mil
dead wood £15mil

In: (total spend 195)
Andersen £20mil
AWB £40mil
Tierney £30mil
Ndombele £65mil
Ziyech £40mil

Let me know your thoughts and opionions, and ITK's don't dash my hopes too quickly

Pretty good summary I reckon. A few comments:

- Some of the incomings looks quite cheap - Ziyech I'm guessing would be more than 40m
- I think the price for Eriksen, much as I hate it, is going to be closer to 70 with one year left
- There are some home grown AMs that are probably worth adding: Sancho, Hudson-Odoi (I don't think we stand a chance in hell, but I'd love to get one of them), Maddison (likely to be expensive) and Bowen or Brooks (more realistic)
- I think Rice would be perfect for CM, but again, can't see it


Otherwise looks pretty comprehensive

I'll bite. How so?

People are discussing transfers & transfer speculation in a thread for transfer wish lists & scouted players.

Because, obviously, if anyone discusses anything transfer related about any player unless it's a very specific thread, it's spam...I mean come on, this is a Spurs message board. Why would we be sharing views on players we'd like to sign...

Fairly obvious...

(people are getting very funny about what can and can't be posted in relation to transfers)

As Levy loves release clauses, these have been reported:

Kostas Manolas £30 million
Thomas Partey €50 million
Maxi Gomez €25 million (if Celta relegated)
Julian Brandt €25 million
Cristian Pavon £43 million
Lorenzo Pellegrini €36 million
Pablo Fornals €30 million
Thorgan Hazard £26 million
Junior Firpo €50 million
Alex Telles €40 million

Decent mix there...

I was referring to your random twitter posts. There are so many random accounts posting "news" and "itk" so I'd rather leave them out. I know there was no bad intent or anything like that.

 

[JUSTINSIGNAL]

Adding to the full back debate, I think what we have missed a lot since we lost the Rose/Walker axis in their pomp, is two full backs that dominate their wings. Now we regularly see Sissoko having to hand-hold Trippier or Aurier up their wing or Davies scared to really get forward for fear of not being able to recover on the counter. This really unbalances us, especially in midfield, where we end up perpetually stuck between trying to stay compact and in shape but also provide some forward thrust to attack from.

I feel if we had Sessegnon/Chilwell and Wan Bissaka or similary athletic players but technically gifted full backs we would be much more of threat going forward than we are now. Not only that they would have the pace to give us defensive security on the counter attack.

I'm not sure what our transfer plans in this area are but I think it's pretty obvious to everyone that fullback is an area that is in need a make over.

Some good players there - Hazard would make a lot of sense. Likely to stay in Germany though I heard

Need to be proactive and quick with these ones though, which we won't be.

Absolutely no fucking idea what this messiah of ITK is on about. It's supposedly a cryptic.

Dude he's a troll. It takes 1 second looking at his profile to realise, his pinned tweet is from January saying we've signed Kessie ffs.

And soz for being a ****, but posting every tweet from Ricky Sacks and other accounts about transfers will get quite annoying, especially when none of them can read and always twist what is said in an article to make a tweet seem more interesting.

 

[Univarn]

Absolutely no fucking idea what this messiah of ITK is on about. It's supposedly a cryptic.

Dude's a gooner on the wind up. Has said so himself in the past. Never got anything right, even remotely once. Deletes all his tweets after each window because they're all wrong or insults of Spurs. Targets and mocks people who call him out. Just FYI genuinely wouldn't share anything he says, even in jest, because it only increases his profile.

 

[midoshairband]

Sessegnon and Wan-Bissaka. chuck in Declan Rice. happy days.

 

[double0]

We need to buy the bulk imo of British experience Grealish Aaron D Rice (they’ll never sell to us but you never know) Brooks, King, Lloyd Kelly, Lascelles, Longstaff, Ward-Prowse, Lemina, don’t get me wrong we need to look at at world market too for value / talent. Plus Onomah needs to be give a chance he might save us millions big season chance for him and Edwards

 

[Ossie85]

Opinions/dreams for summer transfers. Based off of links, ITK, and personal preferences

CB:
OUT: Toby out £25mil. JJ basically confirmed he's off
Replacement options:
Andersen €25mil. I don't know too much about him, but the Italian media have linked us heavily to him, and stylistically he could be similar with 5.7 long balls per game
De Ligt €60mil+ this would be my dream signing and probably most others too. Barca has reportedly made/agreed €60mil fee for him, which I’d like to believe we could afford, especially if we’re letting go of such an important player in Toby. But realistically we’re competing against the biggest teams in every top 5 league for him so I really doubt we’d get him. I think especially after Ajax beat Real Madrid that exposed him even more and we’ve now left it too late to get him. A shame considering how maturely he reads the game and how he would of had a preexisting relationship with Dav
Ake £30mil. Positives of him is that he’s left footed, home grown and relatively decent on the ball. However he’s short for a CB and he’s part of one of the worst defences the last 3 seasons. He’s 24 and has 3 season of prem experience, but personally I’ve yet to be convinced by him, but could be down to Bournemouths’ defensive system.

RB:
OUT: Trippier or Aurier £20mil. One of them has to go. I am far from Trippiers biggest fan, in fact he annoys me like no one else. But he is HG, and in a 3atb his crossing can be utilised and there is less defensive responsibility on him. But he is also getting old and if there are offers, this is the best time to cash in, especially after this abysmal season. I think Aurier is attracting interest from China and would be happy to move.
Side note KWP, if Poch doesn’t trust him enough to start over either of these two after two season and Trips and Serge constantly underperforming then we may as well cash in and let him rebuild his career elsewhere.
Replacement options:
Aaron Wan-Bissaka ~£40mil. Imo we can’t afford to wait with this guy and need to conclude a deal ASAP before the biggest teams come in for him. When he came into the palace set up last January and his numbers were insane that’s when we should’ve taken notice, and now that he’s proved throughout a full season that he can sustain those numbers we need to sign him asap. Articles by statsbomb have shown that our right side of defence is by far our weakest and is constantly being exploited, so to sign AWB who is Van Dijk-esque in the sense that if someone takes him on, they simply don't get past. Also as a former winger i have no worries about him going forward more often in a more possession dominant team, and especially with Poch coaching him too.
Max Aarons ~£20mil? got to be honest I don't know much about him, but he's starting in a very good Norwich side and is just 19. HG. I'd like to think of him as the option we go after if we don't get CL next season rather than top of our list
Youcef Atal £??? seen comparisons to walker, blistering speed, has played all down the right hand side. Wouldn't be homegrown so i imagine he's not one of our first choices but certainly worth a look

LB:
OUT: Davies or Rose £20mil? Neither of them are good/consistent enough to start for us, especially as Poch is a manager who utilises fullbacks so much. Davies doesn't have the attacking output, isn't particularly fast, and isn't HG. Rose is crocked and can't play more than like 4 times a month and will be 29 by next season
Replacement options:
Ryan Sessegnon £25mil. Once Fulham are inevitably relegated we should be able to get him for a much more reasonable price than the £50mil quoted last summer, per JJ's info. He's HG, 19 by next season, very keen to work with Poch (again, thanks JJ) and very pacey. Personally i'm quite skeptical on his ability to play as LB good enough for a CL team and his performances for an admittedly poor Fulham side haven't done him too many favours.
Kieran Tierney £30mil. Biggest downside is that he's not HG, but the guy is quality. A friend of mine who's a Celtic fan says that the consensus is that he's better at this stage than Van Dijk was when he left Celtic. Under Rodgers he has played as a much more attacking fullback and a more disciplined one too, excelling at both.
Ferland Mendy £??? in Lyon games i've watched (mostly for Ndombele) he's stood out, here's hoping for a double deal ? strong and powerful yet still fast. has played LB and LWB
Grimaldo/Telles £30mil. Neither HG, but both have great attacking output. a couple pages back there are some glowing appraisals of Grimaldo. Grimaldo is 23 so could still be developed further, but is really short and not very physical. Telles is a bit older at 26 but taller and more first team ready with CL experience.

DM/CM:
OUT: Wanyama £15-25mil (If he can pass a medical) would be sad to see him go but persistent injuries have gotten the better of him
IN:
Ndombele £55-75mil. Absolute dream signing, after being a CM down after selling Dembele in January and the fact we didn't sign anyone for two windows, Poch deserves to get backed big for a player he wants in a position we desperately need strengthening in.

Betis is going to pay 25m for Lo Celso. So I'd say he will cost at least 40m. And we would need to buy him quickly because there are a lot of big teams sniffing around.
We don't do quickly, so I think we don't have a chance
He starts today for Argentina btw, if anyone wants to watch him (Foyth too)

Exactly.

This is your Wishlist and Scouting thread. For people to post up names of players they've seen and would like to discuss with a view to Spurs signing them. Its not for posting 'ITK' from Twitter, where the arseholes reside. Coopsie's heart was in the right place so don't give him a hard time

 

[Shadydan]

Yeah leave twitter out of it @coopsieyid
