Transfer discussion thread

[JayPea14]

I called for them to replace Cout with Sigi a few pages back. Would cost half the funds of a Cout, about one Walker. Tadic is another good suggestion, plenty of replacements.

Mentioned to my cousin last night that Liverpool should hijack Everton's deal..would be glorious and Sig will fit in nicely

All well

I guess this is where the rest of the bored are though

Don't think anyone here is bored of Spurs v. Spurs melts

 

[NUFC Tiger]

Come on you Spurs posters, instead of fighting each other - why not channel your attentions to a convenient scapegoat instead?

Can't you all get along and discuss how many goals you'll put past us on opening day? (in before Mr Moussa puts one in the back of the net on his return to SJP).

Remember there is a LFC and Spurs thread, feel free to take the banter there and leave this poor ol' thread for boring stuff like transfers.

Anytime I pop my head in here it's always SM having an argument with someone, it's absolute pisser dude, I love it

 

[Cruyff14]

Sanchez is better imo. Arguably the best talent in the prem for me.

Get my goona praise out the way before the real stuff starts

They're different players. Not sure if Sanchez is the most 'talented' in the PL, but he's definitely up there.

Kun, Hazard, KDB, Coutinho, and probably a few others belong in the conversation too.

Anyway, back to actual transfer news. Apparently we're close to signing Keita Balde from Lazio. It's been reported in the press my Darren Lewis, who is normally excellent with Spurs news and has broken a number of Spurs transfer related stories over the last couple of years and it's also said to be close by a number of people who claim to have sources in the club or with agents or whatever; the so-called 'ITK's.'

All I know is that he's supposed to be rated highly, scored about 16 goals last season in Serie A and there's reports of him being lazy and an absolute campaigner off the field. So pretty much a talented Sissoko. Any Serie A watchers know more? go you pups?

Been linked with the Italian heavyweights as well. Was supposed to be Inters Perisic replacement. Which I asked myself several times why we wouldn't go direct for Balde, 12 months left on his contract as well I think.

Talented wing-forward type, he's half Spanish/half French

Not sure that I'd want him though after our recent French/wing types. Would prefer someone in the mould like Kevin Volland who can play wide or upfront and works hard (basically a left footed Son would be nice).

Dunno about his mentality. He was copping shit a few months ago on the Twittersphere about coming out as gay, but I think it may have been a Bromance type of thing lost in translation/wrong perception.

12 months left. That's straight out of the Levy handbook for a transfer target ha.
Power of positive thinking. Today will be the day, I believe.

It's been that long i'm not even excited anymore because i dont actually know what it's like to make a good signing anymore. Our last two were N'Koudou and Sissoko. Before that it was Janssen.

June 23 2016 we signed Wanyama, i dont know even remember what I had for lunch yesterday let alone remember what it was like signing a player to get excited about

 

[Art Vandelay_]

FWIW, I don't see any of our players getting Barca interest any time soon

I reckon somewhere in the Barca scouting system thinks we play a differing style to theirs, hence why Modric/Bale and co never were linked to them. To a lesser extent it could be an agent thing too though.

RM, PSG, Juve and the Manchester clubs are the ones likely to target our big guns one day.

Quite possibly true. I think we're the last stepping stone for Christian before a move to one of the Giants at some point. To think this all came about because of a shit troll, repeated troll too

Keita Balde isn't a winger he's a SS/CF, He could become the next PEA if he wanted it, Huge talent, Just needs the right attitude.

It's included in this article about Janssen.

We've got interest in Keita Balde and he's interested in a move to the Premier League. My OP was a little confusing now I read it back. The so called ITK are saying it's close, not Lewis, he's just written that we're into him.

Also, go you pups he plays for Senegal, but I've read he has a EU passport through Spain links so won't need a work permit. There seems to be a bit more about him compared to N'Jie or N'Koudou. He has an excellent record in a better league and has been linked to big clubs. Juve are said to be interested as well.

 

[Established1870]

Keita Balde would be a great pickup for Spurs IMO. Play him and Kane together and it shits over what anyone else has in the Prem. Comes from La Masia as well so he's got bonafide pedigree.

I didn't say winger

Wing-forward

Kind of like a Mane

I feel we need that type of player, but would rather a left footer

He's definitely born in Spain, thought he was going to represent France though, dunno where I read about that a while back.

Anyways, picked Senegal last year but has his Spanish citizenship IIRC.

Man Senegal have had some decent attacking players recently. Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Mane, Keita. Probably a few more.

To be fair, so is Adama Traore and he is steaming garbage.

 

[go you pups]

So, is our interest real?

I hope it may be so and Lazio prefer to sell to us rather than strengthen a rival.

Says here Keita has rejected others offers so far, but does that include a late Spurs offer?

 

[Milanista28]

I didn't say winger

Didn't say you did.

He was linked to Milan while we were trying to sign Biglia, We offered Lazio 50M for the pair and they agreed, Keita said no as he only wanted Juve. He wasn't Juve's priority at the time they were working on D Costa and Bernadeschi, I think they will only sign Keita this window if Dybala were to leave.

Juve are also low balling by offering less than everyone else, Contract up next year and Juve are campaigners.

 

[jd2010]

We aren't signing Keita. He #snubbed us in June
