Transfer thread

[Jordinho]

This is how ITK is done:

Hercules: As his name was not out there (Diop) I did not mention his name here. But once out I had to jump on the confirmation stance. Not everything I put here folks

 

[P.D.]

It depends on whether I can be arsed to go through all the pages of non-ITK waffle in the ITK thread on SC to find the few snippets of actual ITK.

You know you don't need to, they have an ITK forum where just the ITK updates are posted - https://www.spurscommunity.co.uk/index.php?forums/sc-itk.83/

 

[P.D.]

I understand links with Spurs looking to sign Jesse Lingard and/or Wout Weghorst are wide of the mark. Also Tottenham and Mourinho are big fans of Benfica centre-back Ruben Dias but he is too expensive for them in this window.https://t.co/pEvBoKLboH

Hmm, so it seems Dias and Weghorst might not be happening...oh well, at least Lingard is also put to bed

Shame, from what I read it seems Dias is destined for the top level. We needed a DM but I think we are also weak at CB, individually they are all OK but none of them are exceptional and I think a good commanding leader there like Toby used to be could really give us a strong backbone to push on. I'd like to see us push the boat out for this and invest - good CBs are really hard to find.

So Spurs were "aiming for Dias" but end up getting into bed with Diop?

Disappoint.

That's just a fraction of what gets posted. There's lots of little tidbits that never make it there.

How come all of these c*nts cannot punctuate or spell?

They don't know brick, go on like levy calls them directly

Because they are unintelligent and/or 10 years old

Is the lad we should be keeping an eye on this season...

The cat's out of the bag with Camavinga. Everyone knows of him and the top teams will be after him. I don't think we could compete. One I would like us to look at is Badiashile. Kid looks solid.

Can you do an 'ITK round up' like this every day (where there is some..)

Please, no!

I agree. Just look at the difference VvD made for Lollerpool. Worth every single penny of the gazillions they paid for him.

This guy collects the various 'ITK' stuff. He helpfully grades their reliability which seems to get some people's backs up!

Weird how West Ham are desperate to sign a CB yet the only decent player getting linked with a move away is Diop. I dont think there's much chance of him leaving this window. UNLESS the covid news was a cover up and he's gone awol demanding a move!

Well, David Sullivan was in the press today bemoaning West Ham's position of facing reduced income, having spent more than received in the last couple of windows and how the bids they've been making for players right now are not being accepted.
Sounds like a song Daniel Levy loves to hear.

The very latest state of play with Spurs' transfer window as the days tick away, including the talks for Milan Skriniar and the many options they're keeping open as they look for a new striker including Haris Seferovic, plus the players who could leave. https://t.co/suZ5iBA2nI

Brazil left-back Alex Telles, 27, wants to leave Porto for Manchester United, who are trying to drive down the £36.6m asking price. (Telegraph - subscription required)

Thought they would be massively desperate by now and paying over the odds for so so players

Man U not desperate enough to pay over the odds for a player and give them huge wages? What is the world coming to?

They have to tighten their belts because the Glazers need to keep their dividend whilst stadium income has been removed...

Their skint
They borrowed money to pay off the previous transfers they made and to have some for this season. It was hardly reported but they don’t have the cash as they have debts to pay, a £380m wage bill abs no stadium income which also includes sponsors and corporate revenue worth £4.5m a game apparently (£135m over a 30 home game run)
