Probably one of Fosu-Mensah (before January), Lindelof or Bailly.
TFM was awful anytime he came in, Lindelof was already in the team and Bailly was hardly fit.
Such a blatant PR brief to put pressure on Real / Varane. Hope it has some merit though, so we dont miss out on both in case.
This shouldn’t have any implications on how hard we push for a CB. We’re in desperate need of one regardless of what happens with Tuanzebe.
He does look like Lindelöf with a Spanish filter.
I really dont think we'd loan him out if we didnt know at least with some certainty that someone comes in.
Yep. All of our RB options outside of AWB are terrible. This was also true a year ago.
I don’t understand why we don’t sell these players if there is interest. This idea of loaning Williams and Axel makes little sense to me. This isn’t even to criticise the players, but the general strategy of loaning these players out to make room for replacements in their position. What is the point? If we get Trippier and Varane, then what happens to these players when they return from loan in a year? I just don’t understand the concept of trying to buy a right back, but not wanting to sell one that can’t get a game for you, only loan.
Will be like a new signing.
I like the look of him.
I think for the next two or three windows we will see a lot of loan's and swaps as clubs juggle the financial fall out from Covid.
Not to say your point is not valid but moving players off the immediate wage bill with an obligation in the future to buy maybe how we shape the squad for next season.
Whoah, why would you even contemplate something so terrible when we can sell him 5 years later when nobody wants him (including us).
This is so true! Imagine if Maguire was out and they were playing together!
I think Williams is young enough that you loan him out and see how he does with a season in the PL under his belt. If he does well then he could have another season on loan or he comes back and pushes for a place. Certainly, Telles (and Trippier if we sign him) won't be around forever. If he does well and we decide Laird is ahead of him or he's not quite good enough then sell him next summer after we've hopefully had stadiums full and money flowing into the game again.
Tuanzebe is a tough one. On the one hand, he did well at Aston Villa in the Championship and he's still young enough that as a CB he could still become a first-team player. But he needs to play 30 PL games next season which won't happen for us. In an ideal world, he goes away and does really well and we sell Bailly next summer with Tuanzebe pushing Maguire or Varane/Torres/Lindelof out of the side.
We should be selling with buy back options like Liverpool do but instead we keep them at the club and don’t play them which hinders their development and also reduces their value. Axel was good every bit as highly rated as Tomori 2 years ago - Chelsea just got 25m for him. We just do not sell players and it’s completely absurd.
He gives me serious Lindelof vibes.
that cant be right. they havent considered making a bid, then thought about preparing a bid, then made an informal unofficial bid. and briefed heavily at each stage. clearly don't know what they are doing.
Him and Lindelof for the most handsome CB pairing in the league. I'm for it.
The play is normally to loan first to ramp the interest up further. Or at least it should be. Especially in Axel's case who has been an injury mess for a while. Williams should've been sold the season after his breakout when interest was sky-high and he was still on a low salary.
That's because he physically looks quite like him. Just taller and a little more slight. It is a bit uncanny.
Similar strengths/weaknesses, too (in particular, lack of aerial ability).
And also the shittest at heading the ball
They’ll get at least 70mil for him.
What city players want to join spurs
100M + Jesus could be good business for them. He can play the Firmino role and free up Son / New RW they can get with 100M.
Going from Harry Kane to Jesus would be like going from actual Jesus to that bearded wan who won the Eurovision a few years back.
Yep, and from a club that will end-up being relegated, as is tradition.
Wouldn't be surprised if they took up his option
That's what we said about Lindelöf... And still do.
This will end up happening, and could be the sort of deal that scuppers potential bargains this window by setting a precedent. We should be moving quickly for out targets.
