    Luka Vuskovic

    Once his heart was set on a move, it was out of our hands anyway. I think that as a club, and maybe because of some forced sells we had to suffer back in the day with Berbatov or Keane, we are too reluctant to sell. There are very few players that can't be replaced at all, and Vuskovic isn't one...

    Spurs Premier League Top 100 Transfer Fees - Adjusted for inflation

    It's true: I checked it out and he actually had decent stats at Saudi Sportswashing Machine. I stand corrected. I think Ndombele is in a league of his own when it comes to value for money. However, in my opinion, he remains one of our worst signings - imagine paying 82m for that kind of return (Graham also...

    Spurs Premier League Top 100 Transfer Fees - Adjusted for inflation

    I didn't realise at the time he cost so much, but Ruel Fox has to be down there with some of the worst signings in the club's history. We got him from Norwich if my memory serves me well and I can't remember a single match I saw or read about where he stood out. I remember thinking he was a weir...

    Radu Drăgușin

    Having players speaking highly of the club is a part of rebuilding our image. I think (though I have no inside knowledge), it was at a low point after we sacked both Mourinho and Conte - because they have a strong reputation, but also because they had nothing good to say about us. It won't win...

    Luka Vuskovic

    If we're still posting on this board, we can revisit this conversation in ten years' time and see how Vuskovic has developed. Again, I'm not saying it's a wrong move for him - he's got the talent to make it in a lot of clubs, so there are very few 'wrong moves' per se. My outside knowledge of...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Coming from someone who kept making the same point over and over again about Postecoglou, that's a bit rich. Anyway, I'm curious: since you're reading so much into my post(s), what's my point? And what's yours? If your point is that football agents just do as they're told by their clients, I...

    Luka Vuskovic

    ??? What are you on about? What 'narrative'? I couldn't care less if Vuskovic goes to another club, but your views on the agent/client relationship are, in my opinion, very unrealistic.

    Luka Vuskovic

    That's an extremely idealistic view, in my opinion. You're 19. The guy in front of you is over 70. He oversaw the transfer of Neymar to PSG, he's worked with Mourinho, he knows everybody at Barça, PSG, Chelsea, Bayern... He's one of the most famous agents in world football. If he gives you some...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Have to disagree here: nobody believes Mendes is there to do as he's told by his clients. He makes things happen. Same goes for Zahavi, who (I think) is Vuskovic's agent. Few players really know what they want. Vuskovic has little/no experience in the game. Three months ago, he wanted to play...

    Luka Vuskovic

    Vuskovic will likely end up having a great career... IF he can get rid of some of his entourage. His agent is trying to move him on every other year in order to make a quick buck. He's got the talent, there's little doubt about that, but at some point, he will need stability and stability in a...

    Sandro Tonali

    Pretty much everyone agrees that our chance creation was absolutely abysmal last season. Forwards play a part in that with their runs, but if we significantly improve our midfield and left wing, our forwards, no matter how poor they are, should score more goals. More goals = more suitors and...

    Sandro Tonali

    Richarlison's goal ratio isn't great, but it's fairly decent. In a better/more controlled environment, Solanke had a decent record at Bournemouth. We're not winning the league with either of them, but they can do a job in front of goal. Richarlison's main flaw is his lack of contribution to our...

    Sandro Tonali

    We seem to attract that kind of characters though - people who think they can force their will onto the market. I think I remember Alan Sugar decided to fight the rise of transfer fees by selling Sheringham to Man United for a fairly reasonable price (3.5 maybe?), only to pay almost double that...

    Mateus Ferdnandes

    One aspect our board completely missed these past few years is that a young players also needs quality players around him to develop. It's nice to have good coaches and superb facilities, but it's not enough. I was the first to laugh at Chelsea when they signed Gullit and Vialli but it...

    Transfer thread

    He got three different coaches in one season - including one who had worked with him at Juventus - and there wasn't much difference in terms of performance. That's why Ronaldo is such an exceptional player: gifted footballers rarely have to push their limits. Palinha and Richarlison are useful...
