General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

He looked pretty good those times I've seen him play, though in saying that I haven't seen him all that much really. Well the cruder he is better I guess ;)

He is an ok player but hyped up beyond his ability at the monent

Doesn't create much going toward although does have a decent shot

Struggles defensively against clever pkayers and needs IMO a very good holding midfielder go cover (wanyama did that a lot)

For England when he played he has been ok to poor, and against Italy showed one of the worst performances I've ever seen

There are many good players out there. And some of them to be had relatively cheaply.

But we can't buy them all!

As you say, Mitchell , Poch, Baldini and our entire scouting team will undoubtedly have been aware of him. But we chose not to move for him. Either we think we've identified someone better. Or he was deemed to be not a good enough fit for us or for Poch's style of play.

Perhaps we have dropped a bowlock here. But perhaps whoever we get instead will prove to be an even better buy.

I sincerely hope you are right but at 7m Euros for a 22 yr old full Spanish internal striker with a decent scoring record seems like a bargain to me. Time will tell.

He was fudging awful in that match. Made me wonder if they'd started handing out caps in boxes of Shreddies.
 
Apparently Roma are on the verge of sealing a double deal for Andrea Bertolacci (former youth teamer, CM) and Iago Falque for a combined fee of 15 million euros.

Any chance of Levy getting a slice of that fee by virtue of a sell-on clause for Falque or something?

A lot of attention was paid to Falque (well targeted loans, tour appearances ) I'd be surprised if there wasn't a sell on clause.
 
We put a sell-on clause in Gio Dos Santos' transfer agreement out of the club, it's likely we'll have one for a younger player like Falque who wasn't let go for peanuts

Also, if the spotty Google translation of this is semi-accurate (and PSG fans on their PSG.fr forum seem to think it is), then Rabiot is apparently routinely late to training and games, indisciplined, and rash, to say nothing of his mother's somewhat pushy ambitions for the lad. Hmm.......

Not to mention quite average as a player from what I've seen

Looks to me like he is over hyped massively
 
Problem is he will never be first choice ahead of either of those 2, Iniesta still has a good 2/3 seasons left as first choice I'd imagine and Rakitic is a seriously good player who's only 26 I think.

Fabregas found himself in a similar position and left.

More to the point is he any good? Who is he like?

He is very good. I think he's similar to Modric, in as much as he's a very good dribbler, who keeps the ball well, even in tight situations. He is creative and can play a good pass, usually prefers to keep it short, and he'll play from deep. He is a player who will make teams tick, rather than being a main goal threat or player setting up the goal.

We have next to no chance if signing him though.

Tottenham plan massive summer clear-out with 10 first-team players set to leave
Aaron Lennon, Paulinho, Younes Kaboul, Etienne Capoue, Roberto Soldado and Emmanuel Adebayor among players likely to leave White Hart Lane

Tottenham Hotspur are ready for a huge summer clear-out in the hope that up to 10 first-team players will leave.

Aaron Lennon, Paulinho, Younès Kaboul, Etienne Capoue, Benjamin Stambouli are all for sale and are expected to go in the next few weeks with deals already under discussion and, in some cases, in place. DeAndre Yedlin is due to go on loan after Kieran Trippier was signed from Burnley for £3.5 million.

Spurs have rejected offers for Roberto Soldado and Vlad Chiriches but will sell both of them if their valuations are met. New offers are expected.

Then there is Emmanuel Adebayor, who has already turned down several offers to leave and is holding out for a pay-off that Spurs are reluctant to concede. The club also want to sell midfielder Lewis Holtby.

The fees Spurs paid for the nine players who are for sale amounts to more than £70 million, with the £17 million committed to the Brazilian international Paulinho believed to be the highest.

Soldado’s fee was reported to £26 million but the initial outlay is understood to have been £13 million with various add-ons during the course of his contract.

Four of the players were bought with the proceeds of the sale of Gareth Bale to Real Madrid for a world-record £86 million in August 2014. Of the players recruited in that transfer window, only Christian Eriksen, Nacer Chadli and Erik Lamela, who cost £30 million, are expected to survive.

Lennon is Spurs’s longest-serving player, having signed from Leeds United for £1 million in 2005, but spent part of last season on loan at Everton, who wanted to sign him permanently but balked at the £6 million asking price.

Of those available, Stambouli is the only Pochettino signing, the club having gambled on the midfielder being able to make the step up when he was bought from Montpellier last summer. But that has not happened.

Adebayor has a year left on his contract, which currently earns him £110,000 a week, and does not figure in Pochettino’s plans, but the 31-year-old has so far turned down offers to leave from clubs around the world. Spurs are desperate for him to go but do not want to pay up his contract.

Holtby spent last season on loan and can now leave, while Yedlin, a right-back, who played for the United States in the World Cup, is expected to be loaned out. Newly promoted Norwich City are among the clubs interested.

Trippier’s signing would also appear to be bad news for another right-back, Kyle Walker, but the England international will be sold only if the club receive a big offer for him, which they do not anticipate. Kaboul, who started last season as captain but quickly lost his place, can go with Spurs having signed Austrian central defender Kevin Wimmer from Cologne for £4.3  million.
