Scouting Thread

Homegrown rebuild. Norwich relegation means 3 or 4 decent youngsters might be available. Godfrey, aarons, cantwell and Lewis are all decent which would energy and depth to the squad.

It’s almost pointless watching the Norwich boys in a scouting sense now. Their heads have gone down and they are playing within themselves.
Signing any of the will be a gamble, so we’d need to be prepared for a season of rebuilding that confidence , just like with sessegnon.
Expecting them to come in and immediately improve our starting eleven is unrealistic

Too old and only shortterm fix. We could use wages and sign on fee to help with long-term rebuild.

There is nothing called short term or long term fix in football. You have to look forward on what we could do in the next season. Do you think when bayern Munich got perisic on loan last season they thought about short/long term fix? Or when they got 32 years old xabi alonso they thought about it? I think only in spurs, the club and the fan base so much fixated on future long term build that they forget about what is in the present. All big clubs have players who are 30+ years old and that provide them stability and leadership in the pitch and in the training ground. How many of our attackers won anything in their career that they can be relied upon to win something in future?

Baldock please. So consistent.

Baldock please. So consistent.

I've got an irrational hate for the bloke, I think he did something quite dirty earlier in the season and it's stuck with me.

Would be a great buy, especially if we consider moving Lamela and/or Dele.

If we sold Dele for 80-100M, put 20M here, 45M at DM and 15-35M towards the fullbacks or back up striker, we’re a much much more balanced side.

I admire your positive mindset but 80-100 million for Dele is the funniest thing I’ve read on here for a while ?

Sell lamela and bring coutinho or james Rodriguez on loan ... Use lamela money to buy a cm ...

Put it this way. If the club had decided to loan an experienced DM in 2017/18 we may not have seen this much regression.

If you have big injury problems in a position or you cannot sign the player you want, I think you have to look at a stop-gap to help rather than do without.

Because Poch didn't get that he ended up giving the role to Winks and Sissoko which in turn takes away their strengths.

Imagine we loaned vidal for one season back in 2017-18 when he was available..

This is what clubs like Juventus, bayern munich doing ...

It won't take much to improve at fullback

Thats not really true though. Clubs have long term and short term plans when it comes to transfers. Spending wage budget on an aging player may see a boost short term but takes funds away from rebuilding for the future. Willian isn't going to change our fortunes we have plenty of decent attacking options. We need a defensive and a new defence and a gk for the future.id rather money was spent there.

Well, we did at least keep a clean sheet against West Ham.
it’s not as simple as that, I know but you can at least see the counter argument

In my mind I’d be pretty committed to making Lo Celso and Ndombele work here. So I’d be looking at a DM myself to play with them. We wouldn’t get much cash for Lamela. Also I just don’t see us as the kind of club that does loan deals without the option to buy and Coutinho would be silly money for what he actually offers on a consistent basis

We dont need three or four seasons out of coutinho or james .. just use them as squad players for this season and send them back to their clubs after the end of season .. much better than spending 50m transfer fee on them ... By the next season, we will have idea of what we want in that position... Even if lo celso/ndombele works here, they can't play 60 odd matches in a season .. so we need more players with cutting edge , end product and winning mentality ... We will buy DM from the sale of KWP ...

There are lot of italian clubs who are willing to take both lamela and moura ...

We are not spending allocated transfer fees on willian .... He will give our attack short term boost that our other attackers need ... We will buy dm, rb, gk from the money we get after selling our other rb, cb or gk .... Willian will come in place of Moura or Lamela ...

We have to think what we can do at our best for next season ... We bought sessegnon last season ... Did he help us achieving top 4 this season? We need to have atleast 1 top class 28+ defenders, midfielders and attackers in the 25 men squad ... Just look at all the trophy winning squads in the world. You will see ... Only at spurs, we have tbis fragile thinking 30+ aged players are beneath spurs level lol ...

Transfer fees are less of strain on finances than a 31 year old on 150k a week for two years with a few million in signing on fees. We are already overflowing with attacking players son , glc, bergwijn, dele, moura, lamely why do we need willian? That money could be spent elsewhere. This isn't football manager where you can flog a whole team in one window and buy 10 World class players you have to use your budget wisely in areas of most need and look to the future.

Because we will look to offload Moura (makeweight for Milik) and Lamela. GLC will continue to play CM

 

[punkisback]

this is a signing I could get behind. Not really the position we should be worried about right now. But should we move on the likes of Lamela or Moura to initiate a rebuild I’d definitely take him.

I think he's quite similar to our other wingers, above average pace and decent technique but we need lightning speed and good skills and trickery. I think the wingers we have are quite on dimensional.

 

[punkisback]

It’s absolutely not a problem. White Webb’s golf club is literally the other side of the fence to the training ground. Crews hill GC is another 5mins up the road. He’d be living the dream
There’s literally no excuse to not re-signing.

I would love him back, it would spurs Kane on as he would see it as good healthy competition! Not just on the golf course

Baldock please. So consistent.

Letchworth shits all over it

We’re smarter than them
