I wouldn't get too hung up on missing out on O. Dembele, he plays in a League where managers leave if a 3rd/4th tier English club come calling. All our failed summer signings would look like Messi if they played in Scotland.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Talking about the Dembele that plays for Dortmund
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Sorry mate, I have read people getting narked that we didn't sign the Celtic one and assumed he was the subject matter.
Too many Dembeles. Haha
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Wanyama came from Celtic.
Say what you like about Scottish football but Celtic signed Forster, Van Dijk and Wanyama for buttons and sold them on for healthy profit. All three are holding their own in the PL.
If they can find these guys why can't Spurs?
Ousmane Dembele is legit the best young talent in world football, we've had a shocker here

Excited for how this convo pans out after the cracker above.
Don't think you'll get anything flashy. Spurgs plays hard to get, not a sl@g like Edin

Oh come on, fair play to those 3 but how many have come south and failed? Just like Dembele, Kenny Miller and Lee Griffiths score/have scored copious numbers of goals in Scotland but things didn't happen for them in England.
Dembele failed in England?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
What I meant was Miller and Griffiths have scored lots of goals in Scotland however when those 2 were playing in England they didn't look too clever. Should Dembele end up in the Prem I expect a similar outcome.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Gotta disagree as I think Dembele would be good in the prem.
Scored 15 goals in the championship last season as a 19 year old.
Time will tell as I'm sure he'll be in the prem soon enough
Has this been confirmed by the club Edin mate?
Mitchell has been on gardening leave for months. Not liked at the club by peers because of never coming out of his office and arguing with people apparently. I'm sure we kept him on out of spite haha.
Unfair to lump the deals above on Webb he basically was our chief scout but it's very much a team effort. we had a transfer committee until very recently. Not fair on Webb at all.
Still got a director of football to come!
I just hope we get the right scouting staff in at an absolute critical time for the club.
We will have money to spend in the transfer market I'm sure but due to the stadium build its going to pale in comparison with the other top 5 clubs.
Of course throwing big money around dosent guarantee success ie Pogba but as Poch says we are going to have to be very clever in the transfer market.
The 3421 fprmation (or whatever variation) suits our first eleven perfectly but our squad needs 3 or 4 changes in the summer to give us better options,
Years ago we scouted Berbatov and Modric when they were relatively less known players and we need to find these type of players again.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Modric was very known at the time but no one was brave enough to take the chance on him and we snuck right under the radar on that deal.
Berbatov was wanted by United before he joined us, they took too long so we got in there quick.
To make things worse Osmane Dembele is a Spurs fan, was in a live video with Aubameyang wearing a Spurs top
Berbatov was scoring key goals for Leverkusen anyway, so played well.
Modric and Berbatov only seem like lesser known signings because social media wasn't as big back then, everyone knows the biggest talents ie Modric nowadays, and especially goalscorers in the Bundesliga like Berbatov was
Although I must admit I didn't have a clue who N'Jie and N'Koudou were
Same with Dele Alli actually, I know a lot of people did but I actually hadn't heard of him when he signed, suppose because I pay no attention whatsoever to League One
I just want a scout with an eye for a free scoring striker......

I didn't say all players coming from Scottish football were a success, just like all the Europeans, South Americans, Africans etc aren't a success.
My point was Celtic managed to scout these three for little or nothing, why hadn't our scouts been fishing in that pool too. I appreciate it's impossible to cover every angle but recent history has shown we could and should be doing better in the transfer market.
Don't group Forster with van Dijk and Wanyama, he's terrible

----------------------------------------------------------------------
I disagree, he's having a poor season but his performances for Celtic and last season for Southampton were as good as most in the PL.
He massively benefits from playing behind a good defence, he lets in a lot of goals that he should save
Well there you go, everyone's got an opinion. We'll agree to disagree.
Fingers crossed the new lot are not worse than the last.
