Welbeck on a free.
Levy:
tell you what, this would be a good bit of business. With so much work to be done around the squad, picking up DW as a replacement for Fernando/ VJ would be a smart bit of business.
We can't bring in everyone we need in this window. There is a lot of work to be done and 1-2 frees could be useful.
The other one is Milner - again if we want to shuttle out a few, he could be a good option and homegrown.
IF we sell/release: FL, GKN, VJ, Lamela, Aurier, Trippier, Toby, Vorm, Onomah, Wanyama we probably have the money for 3-4 quality additions: Grealish, AWB, perhaps Chilwell.
Maybe there is more money than a zero net spend and we can bo big for NDombele but can't see more money being spent than that. A couple of frees like these would work well.
No it wouldn't. He's never fit and when he is fit he's pretty crap
You cannot underestimate how much Eriksen and Alderweireld mean to this club. They are world class players. Eriksen is arguably the player of the decade at Spurs. Them leaving, especially Eriksen, is going to be a major blow. Expecting players (like Grealish and Sessegnon) who are completely unproven in top flight football to come into one of the top clubs in the world and come close to replacing what we lose in the above scenario is unreasonable in my opinion.
That's why I'd prefer we look at potentially attainable players who have experience at the top level. Fekir (1-year left on contract) and Ziyech have talent, but more importantly, have proven themselves against top level competition. Fekir would probably cost the same as Grealish, too, with Ziyech likely to even be cheaper than Grealish, who Villa reportedly want 60 million pounds for. Insigne, also, is a player that Poch was said to be smitten with a few seasons ago (Napoli would probably want a lot for him, though). Still, with the potential Trippier deal with Napoli, we should kick the tires on a separate/supplemental deal for Insigne. Signing Grealish on top of one of those three mentioned players above, or on top of a newly re-signed Eriksen would be one thing, but I fear expecting him to step into Eriksen's shoes would be an enormous amount of pressure to cope with.
Eriksen is absolutely quality, but Kane is our best player of the last 25 years.
I agree we should be going for players like Ziyech/Fekir/Brandt/Havertz to replace him however.
Fair point. It's why I said "arguably," but I'd concede a strong case could be made for Kane, too. The case for Eriksen is that he is simply so instrumental to the style Pochettino plays, that without him these six seasons (not just his creativity and goals, but his workrate), we would have been in so much trouble. Ditto for Kane, obviously.
Is Le10 Sport a good source ?
Hit and miss.Are they somewhat reliable?
We need to move on a few but we need so many I just can’t see how this summer is going to go well. Particularly if Toby and Eriksen go
64 games in 5 years. Very fair injury concerns.
Just in case Spurs do sign Nicolo Zaniolo...here's his mama Oh, if Rabiot had had a mama like I'd like to see him at Spurs
