Transfer Tittle-Tattle

[Gutter Boy]

Alderweireld/Maguire would transform their defence...

That would be the slowest CB pairing since we had to use Dawson and Corluka together during an injury-crisis one time.

So?

They have pace in midfield and fullback, and those two together would be an infinite upgrade on what they currently have.

I don't think Alderweireld will go to Ajax. I think they have a wage budget that is lower than Burnley's. Toby will be playing for a club that pay him around £200k a week.

Unless he is that rare breed of footballer who isn’t solely motivated by coin and he’s seeing out his contract so he can return ‘home’ on a decent if not spectacular wage as there’s no transfer fee involved. I think Larssen for example went to Sweden to end his career as he wants his children to grow up there.

Me and you would be an upgrade on Jones and Smalling

Maguire & Lindeflof is hardly rapid - Toby is quicker isn't he?

THE SERGE IS ON
Tottenham set to make late transfer for new right-back as Serge Aurier targeted for move back to France

SERGE AURIER has been targeted for a move back to France - and will spark Tottenham’s late move for a right-back.

The 26-year-old is wanted back for a return to Ligue 1 two years after leaving Paris Saint-Germain for Spurs in a £23million move.

PSG are among the teams looking at bringing him back to Ligue 1 and will land him for the right price.

Aurier started 15 games last season after suffering hamstring and groin injuries during the campaig.

And Mauricio Pochettino is willing to let him leave, despite Kieran Trippier also departing for Atletico Madrid.

Spurs will look to land a right-back on loan before Thursday’s transfer deadline.

Kyle Walker-Peters has attracted interest from top-flight clubs offering regular first-team football, which would leave Juan Foyth as cover at right-back when he recovers from his ankle injury.

Aurier’s departure would be part of a summer revamp following the club reaching the Champions League final.

Trippier departed for £25million and Danny Rose will be allowed to leave should a club come in for him.

PSG were also looking at Trippier following Dani Alves leaving the club and joining Sao Paulo.

Bit of a random one, but might explain links to Atal, Hysaj and that Asian RB in France (I think he is Asian, cant find the link right now)

Found him: Marseille's Japan international Hiroki Sakai. Been linked a few times through the summer.

So.

Ins
Fernandes- £60m
Lo Celso - £60m
Sessengon - £25m
Atal - £30m
Ndombele - £63m
circa £238m

Outs
Eriksen £55m
Aurier £20m
Trippier £21m
Rose £25m
circa £121m

Total potential spend circa £117m

Feasible? Ha never gonna happen.

Janssen was about £10m wasnt he?

NKoudou linked away, Wanyama linked with a move, Onomah too - thats another £25-30m IMO

Total spend then circa £80m, or about the CL prize money. Or about 2 seasons budget.

Feasible?

Sorry forgot about Janssen. Whilst the spend is feasible I just dont think there will be that many movements in such a short space of time I meant. Maybe.

Looks to me like we have 2 deals actively on the go, Sessegnon and Lo Celso, and at present there seems to be the expectation they happen.

Fernandes, apparently, is also already on the go, but Im convinced its in an "if Eriksen goes" capacity. Fair to assume if we move on him it can happen quick?

The rest is all about opportunity. Most sales will go abroad or to the Championship, doesnt need to be this week. Buys? Depends if we spot a chance to get a bargain, could happen, could not...

Also, none of our sales bar Eriksen are big money or complex deals. Which should make it easier.

 

[Gutter Boy]

Championship has the same deadline as the EPL. It's 3rd tier and down that is later.

So Edwards to Brentford and 2CV to wherever needs to be done in the next two days too

 

[K.D.D.D.D.Soc]

Bobby Moore was no greyhound, the best centrebacks read the game and take up good positions.

I could have sworn I saw it was later. Perhaps that was for loans?

 

[The Fatman]

So, the claims that players are booked in, for their medicals today is gonads. I take it.

Correct.

 

[Finney Is Back]

Is Maguire any slower than Vertonghen?

Didn't the tactical genius that was AVB once set up an even slower central defensive pair of Dawson and Capoue and then compound that by making them play a high line against Liverpool?.... I can only assume that this sort of high end tactical acumen wasn't covered until the appendix of his awesome powerpoint presentation to Levy and Levy didn't bother with those slides?

 

[Kandi1977]

Baresi/Costacourta, Godin/Juanfran, Bruce/Pallister. Not much pace there, but damn good CB pairings!

 

[Ade's folks are ok really]

Hearing rumours that we're now taking Coutinho on loan!!??! Thought it was nailed on for Arsenal an hour ago.

 

[parklane1]

Just signed for Reading. Its a sad day when we cant even get deals like this over the line...

Levy out????
