    Yep. I’ve got a feeling he will do well. He’s highly rated by all the players in the set-up, apparently.

    I wouldn't place too much stock on that tbh, it's the kind of bullshit comment managers say to placate the fans. Unless you're Real Madrid then your club isn't going to be a footballers "dream move", all you can hope to be is the best move available to them at the time and then maybe they'll like it enough they want to stay.

    Pretty much this. Real Madrid is the pinnacle for every player. All other big clubs are a stepping stone towards that dream move. Spurs would be a very good club to showcase their skills, especially with Ange at the wheel.

    It's not about us being a dream move, it's that the player at this stage in their career wants to join Spurs and doesn't just simply want out of their club to the first bidder.

    It's why we've gone for Solanke at seemingly a higher fee over Toney, the latter's better in my opinion and would be cheaper too but he's been ****ting on Brentford for months about wanting out, whereas multiple journos have mentioned how Solanke is "desperate to join Spurs". Dragusin also rejected a better offer to join Bayern in January because he gave his word he'd join us, probably needs his head checked but I'm not complaining.

    Probably just saw which way Eric Dier was headed and went the other way.

    It's about £9m from the looks of it (as it's 20% of profit and they sold for £19m and this is now £65m). Handy but only 10-12% of a Gordon.

    I wish him well playing 37 games over five years and making more money than he could ever have dreamed of.

    Being linked with Wilfried Zaha on a season long loan from Galatasary ...apparently he's desperate for a return to the UK / Prem ...can think of worse signings tbf ... but he is 31now and I don't see where he would immediately fit in unless it's as a central striker ...

    should get about 15 league goals. Unless last season was his Almiron season and it’s back to being ****e.

    The latter has a worrying degree of expectancy, whenever we spend big it generally doesn't work out. Be nice if he broke the mould though.

    In a market where strikers aren’t easy to come by and we being Spurs….this is the best we can do tbh.

    At least I can get behind him…that Toney seems like a ****..glad we didn’t pursue

    not bothered about price tag that wasn’t the players doing

    I expect him to hit 20+ goals for us this season

    plus it’s the biggest club he’s played for in his life so I expect him to be well up for it
