A Bola claim we had scouts at Friday night's match between Porto and Sporting Matheus Nunes and Joao Palhinha are the obvious suggestions, given they've been linked with us on and off all season, although Joao Mario does look like a useful RWB...
Turk Watch The always-reliable Turkish sources are linking us with Besiktas LWB Ridvan Yilmaz, who is apparently keen to join us and just so happens to have a year left on his contract This may be related to Besiktas somehow being 7th in the league - and if that didn't sound like the heralding of a Berserk-like Eclipse, Galatasaray being in 12th sure as hell does
Journalist Departure Wishlist Watch Alasdair Gold has posted a list of players he think could leave this summer, although he stresses he doesn't think all of them will Tanguy Ndombele Giovani Lo Celso Steven Bergwijn Lucas Moura Sergio Reguilon Harry Winks Emerson Royal Joe Rodon Cameron Carter Vickers Jack Clarke Pierluigi Gollini Amazingly, Davinson Sanchez isn't on the list
I think Sanchez is pretty secure in his place as Romero’s deputy. Unless he agitated for a move I doubt we’d move him on.
Ideally loan Rodon to a Prem side, keep Reguilon, sell/ release the rest. As Hudd also said, unless Sanchez seeks a move, he’s worth keeping around as a backup, even if he does scare the **** out of me at least 5 times a season with his kamikaze decision making.
The issue with Sanchez is he isn't really a decent deputy for either Romero or Dier, as he lacks the first touch to be reliable in either role As the Cahill/Skriniar of a Conte back three he could potentially have value, although the fact Conte trusts Davies ahead of him does say a lot
Napoli have signed Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Kinda glad, that name would be a nightmare trying to make a song for down The Lane.
https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/tottenham-lo-celso-villarreal-conte-b996508.html?amp Good article and I agree with most of the points.
Hes a good footballer and I had very high hopes for him but he's done at Spurs. Getting him out on loan will have increased his value, whilst depriving us of very little between now and the summer.
Bundesliga Rando Watch FootballDotLondon are linking us with Stuttgart LWB Borna Sosa, which definitely doesn't sound like his agent sounding out potential interest due to Stuttgart currently occupying the relegation playoff spot and two points above automatic relegation That being said, Sosa's stats speak for themselves: one goal and seven assists this season, and ten assists last season to demonstrate he's no one-season wonder, and he certainly has the makings of a Conte WB as he's pacey and can cross, plus the added x-factor of having set piece ability we can coach out of him in a matter of weeks - although Spurcat won't approve of his barnet... please log in to view this image
If we sign Gvardiol as well, the left side of our defence will be pure Croat ...wait, let me rephrase that, don't want to get the Croatian nationalists worked up
LB Watch Kicker report that Stuttgart are linked with previous linkee Ridvan Yilmaz, but will only move for him if they sell previous linkee Borna Sosa Be right back, going to have a lie down in a darkened room...
Football BSider claim that QPR are looking to loan in Troy Parrott, Harvey White and Kion Etite next season Three of their five allotted loans in one go? I'd sure hate for Leeds to loan them somebody...
I've been paying a little bit of attention to Sunderland, due to loans and a fan I know. He looks like a real prospect and they're very excited about him. His contract doesn't expire until 2025 and he's already with a pretty big agency. His short-term future may depend on how the Mackems end their campaign. They have one game left and a win would cement a play-off place for them. Anything else and they're relying on Plymouth and/or Wycombe dropping points. Promotion may keep him there, while he may look elsewhere if they don't get it.
