Ah fuck. The window is nearly open.

Given how blunt we were in the attack in our last two games, I'd like to sign Mitrovic in addition to Sessegnon from Fulham.

I agree - two premier league players who fit the Pochettino bill - well Mitrovic may have to be managed as a person but as a player he would add value.

£25m isn't going to do it.

£25m isn't going to do it.

Can’t say I was overly impressed any time I saw him this season.

 

[Shadydan]

£25m isn't going to do it.

Contract is up next year.

Sessegnon and his bro are pretty certain to join
Grealish, if Villa don't get promoted, is highly likely as well
Funnily enough I think Eriksen will stay

that would be a mighty fine way to start the window
A few leaving as well and then another couple of signings should do it

£25m should do it.

Not exactly a bargain but a fair price for a player I believe would greatly improve under Poch's guidance and from what I can gather that is also the big magnet for the player himself.

You'll probably get some flak for suggesting Mitrovic but I'd say he's a realistic option for us. I 'd also be quite happy for Llorente to be given another year.

 

[Seafordian Spurs]

Sign a football player person? Fucking no chance.

I’ve seen a lot of people (also some Spurs fans) say he’s overrated and he was shit this season

This was his first PL season as a 18 year old, playing for Fulham and not starting every game and has been played as a LB and LM and he’s still scored 1 goal and made 6 assists

25M for him is worth it, think Poch will make him a very good LB/LWB

Ah fuck. The window is nearly open.

And I bet A&C cannot wait.

Don't do it to yerself!

Defo worth a punt for that price. Didn't see a lot of him at Fulham but he's clearly talented and has humungous ballbags of potential.

Had a wee browse on a Fulham forum where their opinions are fairly schizophrenic about him but thought this was a good, measured post:

"The extreme positivity and extreme negativity around Ryan Sessegnon is insane. He is probably not going to be as good as Ashley Cole, Raheem Steeling or Gareth Bale, but I think it’s likely that he will be significantly better than Ryan Bertrand, Danny Rose, Ashley Young and Stewart Dowling.

He is a good buy for a Champions League team looking for a good squad player for the next 12-15 years. I don’t think £30m buys much these days, and if Ryan Sessegnon would be worth more than that on a five year contract especiallly if that team felt he might extend his contract until 30+ years old."

Gotta start somewhere, still can’t believe we fielded that bench last night.
Still GK CB LB RB DCM CM CM. Not a goal or forward thinking player in sight.

Contract is up and a lot of contracts account for a team being relegated.
