Transfer speculation

It would be hard to say no to Di Maria or Rabiot. We are a good test case as to whether or not there's many players out there that value something other than 100 grand a week. Come to Spurs for Champions League, Wembley, Poch and premier leagues crowds/tv viewers. Plus the new stadium.
 
Neymar is a brand and clubs need name players it seems

Coutinho is massively over priced

Di Maria has been up and and down at PSG

but they are happy to spend that money why not pick a better player?

exactly

as he was at United, but at Madrid, played in his strongest position, he consistently terrorised teams

Neymar can be outstanding on his day
Some think he is the the best in the world and he does have more time on his side than most
Personally I'm not a huge fan but I'm not a big fan of Coutinho. Brazilian players for me lack consistency and get over rated due to their heritage
 
I find this absolutely amazing. Transfer fees are becoming ridiculous!

As for Di Maria, never will it happen in a million years, but he is Argentinian and a quality, quality player. It all depends on who else wants him, and whether PSG would be willing to subsidise his wage! Yes, I think put this in the unlikely bucket........
 
I just think he's got a bit more intelligence about him than the average bog standard tricky AM. He's also got the close control to operate in the tight spaces. I think he'll be getting up past Raheem Sterling's level quite soon

Mind you, I used to think the same about Nathan Redmond, but his career has stalled.

If we're not able to compete for the Bernardo Silvas of this world, I think Gray could be our Eric Dier type signing (i.e. reasonably priced, under the radar, with big potential) for AM
Wouldn't Gray cost upwards of £20 million? Is he actually any better than Nkoudou?
 
We're only talking about a 5th choice AM.

The main question is, is he better than Sissoko and Barkley for that role, to which the answer is - undoubtedly.

How about the deeper question "Why didnt we go all out for him when he was available for £5m from Birmingham?"

Undoubtedly? How do you work that out? Surely the phrase is "'arguably", at best. Is Gray actually better than either of Sissoko or Barkley?.... Both of those players are full internationals whereas Gray is only an England under 21 at the moment.

Rabiot would be more realistic I guess, if you can use the word realistic for anything connected to PSG. I've changed my mind on Rabiot a few times - sometimes he is majestic, other times terribly inconsistent. At the moment though I like him and think he would give us another good midfield option.

The inconsistency is probably explained by the fact that he is playing in a key position at a young age.
