First time seeing Paskotsi play. Not bad.
Would be looking for a championship loan for him.

If we got a goalkeeper surely Lloris leaves. Always saw him linked to PSG but Navas is better anyway and they just signed Donnarumma.

Think we're a fortnight away of any decent deals/rumours as seems to be a big Euros hangover.

Imagine Gollini would be viewed as successor to Hugo after a year of acclimatising to the PL

While we're there, Ilicic wouldn't be the worst pickup as a Llorente-style Kane backup.

Yeah I think this GK move will be a 12 month handover with Lloris leaving on a free transfer in the summer to a club of his choice. Maybe back to Nice

Gollini is a nice addition. Romero is the interesting case. Serie A defender of the season but have to negotiate with Juve it seems.

Paratici’s strategy is different. Negotiating to advanced stages for multiple players for one position as a way to keep the asking fee down. Ali says next week is the week. Lots of outs and ins.

Atalanta can trigger a clause to buy Romero for 13.5m and then on sell to us for a profit.

Paratici's style is to go hard after 5-6 targets per position and try and land them all. Some will stick and then he makes the final call once it gets to that stage on whoever is left.

A lot of wedge for what is a star boy.

Is there a decimal point missing?

What I love about chasing Romero is that under Hitchen, although he’d not even have scouted him, by pure chance that he did he’d still be negotiating with Kounde who is unconvinced about coming.

Paratici by contrast who loves transfers and is a work-a-holic has moved on to another target and is trying to get that done. Very little fuss, no time wasting. Get in and get things sorted.

It's a much better method. Try with 10. Have some absolute A-graders in there hoping they stick. If not you've already begun work on about 8 more realistic types.

Lamela has 12 months left on his contract. In this market we'd be lucky to get 8m for him. So Gil for 30m roughly

Future Son replacement?
Also likely spells the end of bergy methinks.

Nah with Bale staying at Madrid Bergwijn and Moura are our RW

Left footer who plays on the right, more natural Lamela replacement. Also takes some Lucas/Bergwijn minutes off the right. Son on the left.

 

[jd2010]

Versitile type. Think Pedro Neto who played left, right, middle for Wolves

Spurs set to appoint highly-rated new 'head of emerging talent' from Everton

EXCLUSIVE: football.london understands that Tottenham's recruitment staff are set to be bolstered by a new man to help shape the academy

Loving the attempts to restructure the club. What we were doing wasn't working out.
New transfer man. Now a bigger focus on elite youth.

Not so much new guy wasn't working. Rastrick is less high level and more day to day than a head off youth development needs to be. It is more that we never properly replaced McDermott when he went to the FA.

We now have some competition for Tomiyasu from worryingly Juventus.

Poor take. Shows you didn’t read the article. Rastrick was his replacement.

As stated this is a new role as part of a restructure. For once just be happy with something they’re doing and not shoot it down

Rastrick was working under McDermott who did a lot of the academy recruitment in his role as head of youth with us.

When McDermott left Rastrick was promoted to fill his role but Mason & Powell were new to the club so were still finding their feet meaning Rastrick had to be still very hands on. McDermott was a talent identifier, coach & mentor but Rastrick lacks in that first area. So it is good they are filling the gap. But seemed like Rastrick was thrown into the deep end 12 months ago and couldn't do it all. With the pandemic going on it makes sense going without a role properly filled for 12 months.

Stability is very important in these roles so lets hope Perkins-Rastrick-Mason-Powell quartet can stick together for a long period like McDermott-Rastrick did

What a breath of fresh air

 

[jd2010]

This Gollini 2-year loan signing might be the smartest signing we've made in as long as I can remember. Not saying he'll be a gun keeper. But that length of loan with an option to buy, whilst still having Lloris for a year is a great way of doing business.
