Transfer Window Speculation

[Hightown Phil]

Ha ha

Don’t tell Phil

Well now Indy Kalia has said it I’ll have to re-evaluate everything.

 

(What’s the situation anyway? I wasn’t aware there was one)

I thought Kante signed a long contract with Chelsea about 18 months ago.

[muleskinner]

Contract running low and he wants to move to somewhere where he can compete for trophies

Got til 2023

[Cobs]

Why would they sell him?

 

for a bunch of cash when he goes on strike

How can we help facilitate this for January?

Given the turmoil at Spurs, I think we should capitalize on it in January and bid for Son. Make hay while the sun shines.

He wouldn't want to come to sit on our bench 90% of the time

I'd trade him for Lallana and Shakiri all day long.

Our front three play too much Hass. To have a genuine starter rotating in would be a big boost. I’m really afraid of them getting burned out.

[Farmer's Tan]

Would definitely take Erikson in January. Son would be great but cost too much and they would never sell him to us

[Hassony]

Of course, but would he want that?

I agree, just think it'll be a difficult sell to get the likes of Son to come, as he'll be a back up here

[honourablegeorge]

Thing about Spurs is they really don't have that many players you'd be arsed about, Son and Kane (who wouldn't suit us) aside.

 

Pochettino was really making them more than a sum of the parts. Looks done now though

I dunno. We are the best team in the world. We’ve got that going for us.

[CaptainXabi]

I think Son would come. He’d get just as match time as any of the other 3. But we would have to pay 100 million plus unless there’s some clause we can exploit.

I'd take Lucas Moura. He'd be a good player to rotate our front three a little.

Moura is more realistic, as he'd be willing to be a back up, a superior shaqiri

No he wouldn't, he's a level or two behind all three of them

[CaptainXabi]

True, he’s definitely more attainable.

I think he’s quite good, but agree that he’s not as good as the others. The reason he’d get just as much time in my opinion is that we play our front 3 loads and he’s good enough for us to implement a real rotation policy.

 

I can’t imagine us regularly starting all of Salah, Mane, and Firmino more than 2-3 matches in a row if Son were an option, especially November - March.

[Swipe]

I'd take a punt on Eriksson in January if we could get him for a snip. 

[Smith]

Yeah, that seems likely.

 

Son is where it’s at.

[Gerry]

Final year of Eriksen's contract isn't it?

That’s what I thought.

 

Son would be far more expensive either way.

He's good enough to challenge for a start plus he would give us another dimension, his running at defences from deep is exceptional. I really like him. Spurs have no say in this, it's us that won in Madrid.

[Frankmax]

Definately him, exactly what we need for our midfield.

[Gethin]

I'd be happy with him signing - but I reckon he's a bit old for the club to be interested. He'll be 28 at the end of the season and our signings are typically early/mid 20s these days
