18 days into the window and the amount of business done is impressive. I like this new decisive Spurs.
Straight loan. Highly doubt they’d be able to afford him anyway to be honest unless they got promoted. A fully fit Tanganga gotta be a solid £15m+ in the market I reckon. Really hope he can steer clear of injuries whilst he’s there.
He's probably done now at Spurs, but hopefully he will put in a good shift at Millwall to least earn the chance of objective reassessment in the summer.
Yeah that’s my thinking. Tanganga without injuries is a solid Prem CB. A solid six months with Millwall and he could be on the radar of clubs like Brentford, Palace, Wolves etc.
Levy’s vision has seen us be the only team who have crashed the Sky 4 cartel under our own steam. It is thanks to Levy that the ‘Big 6’ came to be in its current form and that we’re even in those conversations. I was dead against the ESL but the fact we were even in the room when that was discussed speaks to the stature of the club under Levy in this era. I think he’s done plenty wrong in addition to the good and he gets pelters for it, which is fair enough. But he has transformed the club. I don’t know what other chairman in Europe has had a similar effect, I’m not even sure there is one.
It appears that Munn & Lange are working on sorting out loans for players before they come back, hence Devine's loan to Plymouth was confirmed within a few hours of him being recalled from Port Vale or Tanganga's loan to Millwall was being talked about the day before before he'd been recalled from Augsburg The only surprise is we haven't already got a new loan for Dane Scarlett lined up, though if Soonsup-Bell is getting loaned this month that would likely explain why
Unless it’s to a country with a different season status to ours, we can’t loan out Scarlett again as he’s played for us and Ipswich already. Dumb ruling in my opinion.
Goddamn it, forgot about that random sub appearing in the Season Killer Cup ...after mentioning it at length, like, two weeks ago while pitching a loan to an MLS club wouldn't be a bad idea
Agreed. If you were to line up every major club with a 'how it started' and a 'how it's going' picture side by side, you'd struggle badly to find anyone who has matched or exceeded what we've done without needing the backing of a sovereign state and/or breaking every rule in the book to get there. FSG have done a very good job at Liverpool, but they inherited a vastly bigger club than ours to start with. I think Brighton are the only team who deserve to be mentioned in the same conversation. 13th in League 1 barely twelve years ago and now a regular top half EPL side.
Looks like Perisic is getting close to a return to Hajduk. Farewell you beautiful assist king. Also strong rumours coming from Belgium of us being close to signing Antonio Nusa but loaning him back to Club Brugge for the season. Circa €30m fee. Belgian and Dutch media have often been bang on with Spurs related stuff over the years, so one to keep an eye on.
Every journo now jumping on the Nusa news. Quite an exciting signing if this goes through, another with a real European wonderkid vibe like Sarr, Gil and Udogie all had. I wonder if this who the club could be thinking is the potential long term Son heir? Either way really enjoying how we’re doing business now. I’ve long wanted Spurs to go down the sort of Dortmund-esque route and also back to our own roots of signing players with potential with the occasional ready made star thrown in that fits into our ethos of stylish and attacking football. The majority of signings made by Paratici and now Lange largely meet said criteria. A lot of reasons to be pretty excited about.
They’re saying Perisic will be a loan? Sounds like the Dier deal. Although Perisic is still months away from first team football isn’t he?
I think we're using the term 'wonderkid' somewhat liberally if we're applying it to Gil. Sarr and Udogie, probably accurate.
Gil hasn’t reached his potential yet but he was described as a wonderkid upon signing. Was similar when we signed Dos Santos back in the day. Was once touted as Ronaldinho’s heir. I’ll happily go for 100s more like this though, as Nusa currently is.
Considering we're now being linked with buy-and-loan-back deals for both Antonio Nusa and Arthur Vermeeren, I think it's safe to assume our scouts are doing what we should have been considering for years where instead of being camped in La Liga or the Bundesliga or Ligue 1 like literally everyone else's scouts are, instead we're looking at where Spanish or German or French clubs pick up players for a pittance before selling them for £50m+ a couple of years later In the case of Nusa it suggests that Gil's days at the club are well and truly numbered, and TBH it still wouldn't surprise me if we flipped Solomon in the summer to generate some pure profit as well
Solomon depends on how Werner does I’d imagine. Both likely competing for who backs up Son for the rest of the season. Winner then stays. I think there’s a bit of a baller in Solomon for what it’s worth, iirc one of the things I criticised him on though prior to his injury was being quite greedy in certain situations. Work on that and I think he’s a better all rounder than Werner, who’s more or less a German Traore.
That is one club that any hint of helping their FFP position should not be done unless ti will be an epic Levying.
