Transfers - The Great Media Clickbait Rumour BS Thread

Or even Eze.

 

For Levy and the board.

 

Veliz loaned to Espanyol for the season. He went to Spain last year and hardly played, so that was pointless for his development. Hope he actually gets to play there this year.

There was a lot of hype about him when he came in (including a Messi quote) but seems he's behind Scarlett and possibly Lankshear in the young backup striker role.

 

Romano says we're serious about Solanke. Also the Royal transfer to AC Milan may finally happen.

 

Zzz, once again Levy and our board have dropped the ball. Why am I not surprised?

 

Interesting news today the Solanke isn’t contingent of selling Richy and Richy doesn’t want to go to Saudi. Not sure it’s a direct quote but he said something along the lines of “yeah it’s a lot money, but there are more things I want than money”

Can’t fault the guy’s heart. Hope he can stay relatively injury free this season.

 

We have had a shocking window so far, even by Levy standards.

 

Royal to Milan is done, and the big journos are saying the Solanke deal is close.

 

I read that Solanke is only making 75,000 / week, so he's probably happy to go to a bigger club, play in Europe and get a nice pay raise.

But yes, bringing in the 4th highest goal scorer in the league, would be pretty shocking.

 

Fab with his usual “here we go” on Solanke, so pretty much a done deal.

🚨⚪️ Dominic Solanke to Tottenham, here we go! Deal agreed for £65m package add-ons included, record fee.

Solanke set to travel for medical after contract until June 2030 agreed days ago.

Royal deal has the "here we go" as well. Wonder if we're in the market for a fullback now? Neto is going to Chelsea, so we don't have to keep reading that old rumor (and Gallagher is off to Spain, as well - never for one minute did I think he would be coming to Spurs).

 

Reguilon to Barca? It's getting crazy now.

 

Neto to Chelsea apparently.

 

It was always going to be one of Solanke, Toney or David. Solanke seems best suited to Ange-Ball and he is entering the prime years of his career.

It does create competition in the forward spots, but our squad still looks thin in the fullback positions.

 

I hope Solanke proves the exception to the rule. Our big money striker buys have rarely worked out.

 

Agree. Although Ange eventually used Van de Ven at LB at the end of last year and he did just fine, a specialist backup would be better. On the right, Spence had a good preseason but I'm not convinced by him yet. Gray showed up at RB also.

 

What about buying 2 strikers and offload Richy? Spurs have always done well with 2 up front. Keane Berba, Crooks Archibald for instance.

 

Offload Richy where? Nobody wants him at the price Levy will expect. We ain't buying any other strikers.

 

Tottenham transfer news: Spurs to sign another striker after Dominic Solanke deal?
By Carter White
Published: August 11 2024 | 13:43 Just read this in Newsnow Spurs. I hope we do get another striker instead of relying heavily on one.

 

They want Richy in Saudi Arabia, but he doesn't want to go there. Can't say that I blame him.

 

I think I could tolerate 2 years in Saudi for the sort of gelt they're offering. He's a bit of a waste of space for us isn't he?
