The General Transfer Rumours and Speculation Thread

Big fees worry me more and more now! I genuinely feel its better to avoid them, and pick a player for less money who we can mold into the team.

Agree. The summer long chore of will we or wont we sign someone just bores me now. My perfect summer every year would be to only have to buy 2 Key players or less. And then see some of our young players make it through for the squad. CCV, Ball, Pritchard, KWP. We have some ready to step up potentially.

What does he offer for a £20m player?
Genuine question

He scored goals and is now "proven" in the league

Very strong partner player to a poacher type as demonstrated last season

Physical player too - you know your in a game with him

I guess it comes down to what £20m gets you forward wise...

As I've said United have paid £30m for a player no one had heard of and at 22 had only played 40 senior club games... So £20m for a "proven" forward isn't bad

I did not really pay any attention to villa last year, but I like the idea of finding someone from a bad side and polishing them up, it is the whole point of Mitchell I guess. I wonder if we could have got Mahrez last summer which would have been a similar sort of thing.

If have guessed it was Ayew seeing the headline

Couldn't agree more - I want our youth to come through and be successful far more than I want big money signings nowadays

1 signing a year would be the optimum.
 
Gueye/Gana is the person I want from Villa. His stats were comparable to Kante in France. Villa lacked the ball players to take advantage of this.
 
Inter Milan have made the signing of Erik Lamela one of their top priorities this summer and will offer Tottenham their pick of two players in a bid to land the Argentine, according to reports in the Italian press.

Inter boss Roberto Mancini wants to add more creativity to his squad this summer and theCorriere dello Sport claims the Nerazzurri’s sporting director Piero Ausilio has flown out to South America for talks with the player, who is currently involved in Argentina’s Copa America campaign.

According to the paper, Spurs are willing to listen to offers of around £20million for the player, having brought him to the Premier League in an initial £25.8million deal. The winger struggled to make an impact during his first season at the club, but has made huge strides over the past 18 months and was a regular in the Tottenham side that finished third in the Premier League in 2015/16.

The report goes on to add that Inter will offer Tottenham a cash-plus-player deal to land Lamela, with Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino given his pick of midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and defender Jeison Murillo.

Of those players, it is thought Brozovic might be the most tempting to Pochettino, with theCroatian reported to be on his list of targets this summer.

However, it seems unlikely Spurs would want to lose Lamela to land the midfielder, with the 24-year-old Argentine having two years remaining on his contract at White Hart Lane and denying rumours back in December he was close to leaving the club.

In one paragraph we are willing to listen to offers and in another we are unlikely to want to lose Lamela.

Inter or agent fishing behind it.
 
Looks like Dembele is off to Galatasaray. What puzzles me is why we didn't go after him in the summer. We were interested and almost had a deal done in January and 5 months later we're not interested. Same with Berahino. Any thoughts why this may be? Are we identifying better targets? More cash in the bank so can go for someone more expensive? Other?

You scared me a bit at first with that post! Then I realised it was the other Dembele. I think in January he was seen as a potential stop gap but Fulham would have wanted him loaned back for the remainder of the season so our interest waned when he was no longer a stop gap option. Now in the "proper" transfer window the potential options are much greater so we are looking at more proven or potential quality elsewhere.

Don't know, but if the original reason for our pursuit of Berahino was on the basis of performance analysis, then it wouldn't be a great surprise if it has become more difficult to justify.

Maybe we think that there are better options who are available now who weren't then.
 
Tottenham Hotspur reportedly could've signed the Pole for just £100,000 six years ago.

Whether it's Arsenal refusing to pay £100,000 for a Didier Drogba ripping up the French second division, or Chelsea picking up a paltry £15 million for Kevin De Bruyne - who joined Manchster City for nearly four times that amount just 18 months later - Premier League clubs occasionally get it horribly wrong. Might Spurs be about to follow suit?

According to Spanish outlet Estadio Deportivo, Liverpool and Everton are battling to sign £10 million-rated Ajax striker Arkadiusz Milik - the 22-year-old who Tottenham reportedly passed on for £100,000 following a trial with the club six years ago.

The Mirror reported in November that Milik - who finished the Eredivisie season with 21 goals from 28 starts - had a trial with the Lilywhites as a 16-year-old, only for the club to pass up the opportunity because they had 'better players of his age on their books'.

Harry Redknapp would have been the manager at the time but the report does not state who made the decision to let him go. After that, the Poland international went on to join Gornik Zabrze for 500,000 Zlotys - now the equivalent of £90,000 GBP.

He is set to feature heavily for his nation at Euro 2016, having starred alongside Robert Lewandowski in helping the Poles secure automatic qualification, netting six times in the process.

Tottenham might be hoping that Milik does not join a Premier League club this summer in fear of him hitting the ground running, further exposing their reported decision not to sign him.

Arsenal and Chelsea will be haunted by their aforementioned errors in judgement for a while yet.
