Levy looked at the book of players and just wrote : "too expensive, how about dembele?" next to everyone
A long read to catch up, with some very concerning comments about the hierachy at Spurs. IMO, and I guess this comes from expereince over the last few windows, I think we will:
- Finally get rid of Modric
- Sign Dembele or equivalent Modric replacement (position-wise, not talent), but it won't be Moutinho (unfortunately)
- Sign Willian
- Sign a back-up striker - can't see it being LD until Jan.
- Loan Jenas, Hudd, Daws and Bentley
- Not sign a keeper (sadly). It's almost like Friedel has a clause in his contract, stating that he must start to maintain his Cal Ripken-like streak.
On another note it seems this window, whilst probably not being super successful for us, will be known for Akqa's drunken enthusiasm and the following cracker sayings:
- Meltdown !!!
- Chill, we got this
- Falcao. Goodnight (or "insert any players name". Goodnight.)
He's got experience on the wings from what some were saying.
And, I think with us having Sherwood there for the CL match, and reportedly having a scout (not sure if it were Sherwood or someone else) there for the Mallorca match, to pair with the bid submitted for him, we've definitely got interest in him.
Even if we brought him on for wing cover, some creative flair in the midfield when the situation presents itself, and simply just mold him into the player we want, he'd be a fantastic buy as one for the future.
