Transfer thread

So 9 players out permanently in 4 weeks, plus a couple of loans for the 1st team younger players. Then you have the loans of the younger players not yet named in the main squad.

On average, that is a player movement every 2 days until the end of the month.

Gonna be fun.

Well…3 days.

Tottenham have received sporting approval to begin formal negotiations and believe personal terms would not create a major obstacle, sources close to the agents industry have informed CaughtOffside.

Tottenham ready to make blockbuster move for 'best striker in the world'

Tottenham are interested in a move for striker Victor Osimhen as Roberto De Zerbi eyes another ambitious addition.

Probably just gonads, but one can dream.

Felt compelled to post this after going off topic on another thread :tearsofjoy:

So how's everyone feeling about our progress towards the season kick off with the size and shape of the squad?

As we stand, without youngsters our current squad is

Kinsky, Vic, Dubravka, Austin
Porro, Spence
Udogie, Robbo, Davies, Souza
Romero, Danso, JPvH, VDV, Senesi, Phillips, Takai
Tonali, Fernandes, Bents, Gray, Bergval, Sarr, Gallagher,
Kudus, Kulu, Tel, Moore, Odobert, Madds, Simons, Solomon, Yang
Solanke, Richi, Scarlett

It feels to me like we're a little behind the curve of where we wanted to be with departures with 28 days to go. With a couple of new signings the squad will be up at 40 players. 4 or 5 youngster loans and 2 clear injuries will bring that down to 33/34 players. It still needs a decent haircut,

In cricket terms, the score is still gettable but the run rate is sneaking up. We can't leave it too long before we hit some more boundaries.

Even the ones that looked sorted - Phillips to Boro, Dorrington to Poland, Scarlett to Wednesday - seem to have snarled up

We had 13 players out on loan last season across the 1st team and academy. We currently only have 3 including Dragu.

Add back the potential player sales in August and it really could be close to every 2 days on average that we get a loan or sale.

Interested to know what dates those players went out on loan. I bet almost all were loaned in August and many of them late in August.

Due to our excellent early window business we have a lot less to do in August than we have for years IMO. For once we’re actually in the driving seat.

On the incoming side I think you're spot on.

Not sure what dates we loaned players last season but logically you'd want to be in situ with your new club and get in tune with your new manager's tactics as early as possible. We sometimes see our players starting as bench players. Surely the best chance of them getting a full season's football is to be involved in pre-season. There's probably logical reasons why that's not the case though. Obviously, RDZ wanted time with some of them this year and we've been on the other side of the world on tour. We obviously don't know either whether we need access to them based on our own player sales and injuries. It's clearly a complex equation.

I think it's the player sales where we'd ideally be a bit further forward on, especially if the domino effect is that releases budget for purchases.

I think we are also coming to the area in the window where everyone either wants or wants to keep their attacking talent, its clearly the key area most clubs are looking to improve on, its a tricky area to get right

I think we've moved players on earlier than we usually do as well as signing players earlier than we usually do. We're in great shape. I made a post a little while ago that showed the (IMO reasonably small) amount of business that we NEED to do. All of those players that we'd prefer to leave the club have significant interest.

It feels to me as though many people on here have forgotten the brick shows that our summer transfer windows typically used to be.

Thomas Frank, and Liverpool as PL champions in another transfer thread, I need to speak to Wena and see if she's been messing with the Time Machine.
