Rashford not needed with Sonny about. Martinez is made of paper and wouldn't start for us anyway.. Shaw the same

Romano has confirmed we have interest in Solanke

Seems like he'd be worth more to them then he would to us

If you want good players at prime ages you need to pay the money otherwise all we’d have is young players

Dominic Solanke’s contract at Bournemouth has a £65M release clause. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿💰

£65m that's nice

nice enough to put anyone off

If he goes and scores 20 goals again they might find a buyer tbf

Solanke has had one good season, £65m is way too much, he won`t take us to the next level, no thanks

Solanke is better than most think

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Take out last season, what's he done?

It seems underwhelming because he’s had one good season and failed at Liverpool but if you look at the way we play, with low driven crosses and a high press system, he’s made for it. This could be one of those deals that makes us all go meh but he could surprise a few people. He scored as many as Watkins or close to it in a far inferior side.

I was a bit underwhelmed when I first heard the news but I’m coming round to it a bit more. Still need one of Neto or Eze as well though.

Who else, in our price range, fits the system better that we could actually sign? We can’t replace Kane. No one can. I’m not sure there are that many options to be honest.

Rather have Jonny Dave tbh.

Replacing Kane would be impossible if honest imo, imo you do need an out and out goal scorer, it will allow Son to play in his best position out left and I'm not sure the others Richy etc will get you the goals you need? Who to bring in is the problem, not a lot of players out there available that are even 70% of what Kane gave you, good luck however, maybe Ange has a target in mind but will Levy back him or your scouts?

Ange's system has replaced Kane. Scored three more goals as team last season, than the season before with Kane.

We just need someone who doesn't get injured as much as Richy does. The wingers, full backs and 8's will all suppy the number 9.

Maybe we already have the striker(s) in our ranks in Kulu and Lankshear? With Richy when he gets fit...and if he stays.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fair play Luka I didn't know that about goals scored? I just feel with the way Ange sets up and his system that if you had an out and out goal scorer you'd do better?

Hope I'm well wrong and it goes well this season for you

Toney is higher profile and probably technically more gifted but he’s not the pressing striker we need. Of those we could get, Solanke probably does fit our system. Can’t speak for some of the foreign options as I don’t know much about them. One thing is for sure, we need better than Richy.

IP, when Son went to the Asia games in Dec or Jan, Richy actually stood up for once and went on a nice run of goals. When Son came back he got injured again.

Son was ineffective in the 9 role to put it nicely. The last two games of the season Kulu played up top and we had a better target man than Son.

Unless Richy is sold I can't see us buying another striker. Who knows, maybe Richy has one good season in him?

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Aye perhaps? Fingers crossed as I do feel Richy is decent player but MAYBE not the goal scorer you need? That said he could come good and Kulu is a more than decent player imo, still a ways to go this transfer window so we will see mate

So you do not consider Porro a CB?
We are very short in the midfield. Madison is past his prime by a long way. Hojbjerg is gone to a better club.
Who are you suggesting play in our midfield?
And yes,...we need a striker.

Looks like Aussieglue is getting hung out to dry!

----------------------------------------------------------------------
He is a RB Ted

Do you actually watch Spurs, like ever? Cos you seem to know faaaack all - and I don’t mean that in a - I don’t agree with your opinion sort of way, I mean you genuinely seem to know sweet FA
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well,if you know the difference between an RCB and an RB in Aussieglue's book you should let us all know.
Please!
Tell us below!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

What are you even trying to claim here Ted - it sounds like you think Porro plays really narrow and I almost like a 3rd CB - which could t be further from the truth. Like Danny says, Porro is more like a RWB, very very attacking.

Do you actually watch Spurs? Genuine question
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I'd actually disagree with you all, both Porro and Udogie play inverted, so they are narrow but only in advanced positions.

When we defend we do defend quite narrow, small gaps between the back 4, not often much wider than the width of the box.

Both full backs rarely overlap, you are more likely to find them in or edge of box than hitting the byeline.

It is not an unusual tactic and played by the likes of City & Arsenal to great effect.

The key difference is that Spurs tend to have both in advanced positions at the same time. Sometimes you will see Porro & Udogie a few yards from each other in the final third. This is, in my opinion the part of our tactics that needs tweaking and it doesnt necessarily mean they stop doing this (may be a reduced amount) but that actually the rest of the team, our shape, needs to adjust in these moments to ensure we are not overly exposed when we lose possession.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
fair enough. This all started with someone asking for a 4th CB. Well it seems like we only have 2 CBs anyway.
Along with 2 wing backs.
I'm happy with that.
what we need as a much stronger midfield and attack.


----------------------------------------------------------------------
Romero, VDV, Dragusin - give your head a wobble Ted

Davies is either a LB or a LCB - take your pick but he has had 10 years in the Prem and is unfairly maligned by some, has been a real servant for us.

We have Phillips and Dorrington emerging and in Vuskovic (currently on loan in Belgium) we have a youngster considered more or less the best in the world for his age.

We have Udogie and Porro as starters at full back, wing back. Then we still have Royal, Spence, Reguilon. Now Reggie and Royal will hopefully go but Spence seems to be redeeming himself and could play a back up role.

In addition, Archie Gray will play mins at RB/RWB like he did 30 times for Leeds last season. Finally Skipp can cover as well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dragusin also plays at back. Check his resume.
We have 4 good players at the back four, however you want to classify them,since Aussieglue's tactics throw any classification out the window...
Porro, Romero, VDV, Udogie.
Dragusin is backup.

What we need is a stronger midfield, Maddison is over the hill, Hojbjerg has moved on (to a better club) Sarr is good but needs support.
And our attack is aging. Son maybe okay another year (?), Kulushevski is unreliable, Johnson (oh well) and is Solomon still around?

I know nothing about Gray. Is THAT our great white hope?
I am under whelmed to say the least. We should be going out for midfielders of Dani Olmo's calibre.

Best wishes for the coming season,guys!

He might be on crack but he makes some points tbf

The cracks definitely winning still at the moment - 27 year old James Maddison is over the hill - faaaaack me.

At least he finally admitted he doesn’t watch us regularly by telling us he he knows nothing about Gray.

Yeah and anyone making conclusions about Gray from a couple of preseason games is talking out their arris

Ted, we have a potentially generational set of talent coming through the club - Vuskovic at CB, Gray at RB/MF, Bergvall at CAM, Moore at LWF/LM - these 4 are some of the top youngsters in all of Europe. On top of that we have Lankshear, Donley and Devine - FW/MF/ MF who have a lot of potential - maybe not as much as the previous.

Signing players in those positions will limit opportunities - it’s a fine line.

As for our forward line ageing - so is everyone’s. Som aside the average age of our attack is 25 - not exactly over the hill and I haven’t even included the youngsters like Veliz and Lankshear to drive that down.

PEH has moved onto a better club - Marseille finished 8th last season in the French league you cretin. They’ve signed a player that couldn’t get a start for us. They aren’t in Europe and you couldn’t name half their players without googling and we all know it.

Please for the love of everything, either start watching Spurs regularly or shut the faaack up, it’s one thing to have an opinion but yours always seems to be 5 months behind current affairs or just plain mental

Best wishes to ya pal, hopefully you actually watch us this season
