Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

“My aim is to play my whole career only for Tottenham,” Kane, who is reportedly a major transfer target for the biggest European clubs but whose current deal with Spurs runs to 2022, told the newspaper.

 

You missed this bit

"At the moment, everything suits me here and I'm happy."

 

Nah. I read that as well

Several sources are linking us with Sheffield United midfielder, which naturally led to every single report dusting off the "next Dele Alli" quote as well as bringing up we signed Kyle Walker from the same club. There's one obvious issue, though: Brooks signed an extension until 2021 last month, which no doubt inflates his fee to at least three times what we paid for Alli.

We've also been linked with Villa striker Keinan Davis, although that's more of a "He's doing well so let's write some clickbait" sort of link.

 

Ridiculous. He's Welsh. Next Gareth Bale.

 

As long as he's not the next Aaron Ramsey...

 

Did anyone see Sessegnon's hat-trick?

Buy in January + immediate loan back to Fulham.
No brainer with the CL KO stage + DOF summer
sale money to come.

 

I'd be tempted to just buy him outright and start integrating him into the side.
Pochettino would love him, as he's versatile, happy to run all day and scores plenty of goals with either foot.
Depends on Fulham's preference, of course, but we need to get a move on or we'll miss out.

 

It doesn't look at the moment (could change I know) that Fulham will be involved in either a promotion or relegation scrap, so they could be amendable come January if nothing changes.

 

I'm sure Levy can concoct a package that covers all the
"what ifs" regarding their likely league position come April,
and how/where the player will be playing (both must
realise we are not a Sugga Daddy FC doing a talent
stockpile to spite our rivals) .

As some of us are repeatedly stating, the "land grab"
aspect ASAP is most important.

 

Personally I think we've already missed out.
Moneybag teams will be all over him

 

Even if they dont want or need him they'll buy to stop us strengthening (same goes for Liverpool and the Goons too) in my opinion

 

Agreed. But he does have a reputation of being very level-headed and down to earth. The player himself may well prefer a move to Spurs. The issue will be getting Fulham to accept a bid of £25m when others are bidding over £35m.

 

At a guess, clubs with more than pound signs in their eyes would realise any add-ons we offer would have a reasonable chance of actually coming to pass, while add-ons from Chelsea are worth as much as the fax to whichever Eredivisie clubs they loan him to for the next three years.

Mauricio Pochettino says he has no problems with Danny Rose’s outburst but that he is ‘the boss’

TOTTENHAM boss Mauricio Pochettino insists he has no problem with Danny Rose’s angry response to being dropped for the north London derby, but he warned the England left-back he isn’t afraid to make more big selection decisions.
Rose admitted he was “fuming” at being left out of the squad for Tottenham’s 2-0 defeat at Arsenal on Saturday before returning to the starting line-up for Tuesday’s Champions League victory at Borussia Dortmund.

Although Rose was adamant there was no row with Pochettino, his frustration continued a trend of publicly airing his grievances.

The 27-year-old has made just four appearances this season, and only one Premier League start, after losing his place to Ben Davi
He was fined by Tottenham in the close-season and forced to apologise for an interview in which he criticised the club’s wage structure and hinted he wanted to leave.

Pochettino maintains he is happy to see Rose show some emotion because it proves he cares.

“I understand if after he was angry, like other players who do not play, and I like it when players feel that emotion because it looks like they’re interested in helping the team and want to play,” Pochettino said on Thursday.

“But in front of me he never was upset or angry, he never showed this emotion. He was normal in his behaviour.





“You can ask me about him or Georges-Kevin Nkoudou or Paulo Gazzaniga or when (Kieran) Trippier or Ben Davies were not involved.

“If you say ‘were they upset?’ Of course. Disappointed? Of course. Angry? Of course. Fuming? Of course. Because they want to play. But I am the boss. That is the problem for the players.”

Pochettino has to decide whether to stick with Rose or restore Davies to the starting line-up for Saturday’s game at home to West Bromwich Albion.

In the long-term, Rose’s future with the north London club could be in doubt. Pochettino has already shown he won’t tolerate unfocused players by selling Kyle Walker to Manchester City after the England right-back had his head turned by an approach from Pep Guardiola’s side.

For now, the Argentine refused to reveal his plans for Rose’s future “I think it’s not a moment to talk about that, all the players have contracts with us, they’re all involved in our project,” Pochettino said.

“Now you cannot guess what’s going to happen in the future, and with myself it’s the same. It’s about arriving at the moment and taking the best decision for the club.”

So looks like he's gone either in January or in the summer.

 

Yep. He's a goner.

I have a friend who lives 3 doors from him in Chigwell who tells me that Rose recently hired 24 hour security to patrol around his house. Even in the modern era that is unusual.
The guy is becoming increasingly unhinged and egocentric and needs to be gotten rid of for the sake of the dressing room.

 

Summer.

With WC 2018 coming, I suspect Pochettino will adopt a
"treat them mean, keep them keen" approach to Rose to
ensure good performance from when he is fully fit to
end of season. How Spurs fare in the remaining PL/CL
campaigns etc will play some part in ensuring that.

Cenk Tosun is being linked again, as if he isn't going to end up at a mid-table Bundesliga side like every other Turkish player we're linked with.

Random Prospect Watch
This week it's Stevenage centre back Ben Wilmot.

 

Apparently the DoF told him he was a 'target' and he because he's got such a high opinion of himself he took it literally!!
