Its third on the list but we definitely need another midfielder. They have done much of the heavy lifting this season and not only are we losing reliability in Wijnaldum but also Keita and Oxlade-Chamberlain are even further down the list in terms of how much the manager trusts them. Next season the only players in midfield in their 20's that he trusts would be Jones and Fabinho. 5 options for our 3 man midfield is not enough.

Good point. We do need another with Wijnaldum going.
Thank Fowler we're not getting Caulker

Oh no I absolutely don't trust them to reinvest it properly and like has been said, the looming stadium debt is all the more damaging having not been paid down for around 18 months now - devastating in terms of the interest growing on it. No NFL either, so what was likely seen as a consistent money spinner has spun nothing but into an out of control debt.

Out of all of the PL's top six, you could argue that the direct economic affects of the pandemic have hurt Spurs the worst. And would Kane even have stayed had they won the league cup? It's not got much prestige any more, it's not the title or a European trophy.

It is probably more likely Spurs sign a couple of mid priced players and then sink the rest of the fee into their debt. I'd also echo the shout that they won't get £150m for him. Proven goalscorer, high quality player but on the wrong side of some debilitating injuries (and a reoccurring one at that) and definitely on the wrong side of the developmental curve for a striker. You'd need to hope he had Lewandowski-style longevity and productivity at that price and it would be ridiculous to gamble on that. I think he stays because no one will pay more than £100m - £120m.

He'll then be disaffected and sullen all next season.

Fair play to Walcott upgrading clubs at the age of 32.

Is he really 32? Wasn't it yesterday he was travelling with the England squad as a 17-year-old the World Cup?

Hope they buy him for £100m and he does his ankle during the first game of the season.

Getting Kane (or Haaland) would be very weird for Man City. They do spend a fortune on transfers, but their record signing is still Rodri at £63 million ...

Leicester are close to signing Soumare from Lille for an initial £15m according to the Telegraph, which might turn out to be one of the deals of the summer.

They’re after Bertrand on a free as well so Rodgers might finally get the LB he’s always wanted.

With 12 months left on his contract, Soumare's price was always going to be decent, especially in this market. As for Bertrand, he would probably do well in their setup ...

Let's assume that the interest is genuine that would potentially indicate they'd rather go for a cheaper option than Kane. Maybe for once they're trying to lower expectationsm But still how many wide forwards and strikers do they want/need?

They also have Pereira, Castagne, Justin and Thomas for the fullback positions, so Bertrand will probably be just a stop-gap experienced signing replacing Fuchs on the squad ...

I see that New York City FC has signed Talles Magno, a Brazilian who was (probably falsely) linked with a move here last summer. Probably one to watch, as you'd expect he'll make the move to Man City if he does well in the US.

With Aguero leaving, they definitely need a striker. Don't watch them too often, I'm assuming that Torres guy hasn't hit the ground running for them

Oh, they will be signing a striker, I just can't see them doubling their record transfer fee in order to get Kane or Haaland. They will sign someone for £70-80 million, and still claim that other clubs pay higher transfer fees ...

He’s been good for Southampton, think he picked up an injury last season though? Be a good squad option for Leicester/Arsenal. Hell I’d take him here if Tsimikas is a write off.

Stylistically is makes sense, he would hoover up all the cut backs and has the Aguero-ability to keep the ball closely controlled in a crowded area. He’d also cost in line with their typical price bracket for signings, which would allow them to pedal their nonsense about not ever paying the truly top fees for players.

I genuinely can’t see them spending £100m+ on Haaland or Kane. It’ll be Silva, or they’ll surprise a few and bring someone in who’s younger and allow Jesus more minutes as the main man. I can’t see them being interested in Lukaku either.

Silva or Lautaro. Lautaro has said he’ll be at Inter next season.

To be fair, while Moreno wasn't that good, Bertrand wouldn't have been that good an option either. He's an average FB where Soton is about his level, or Leicester squad player.

Kane's intentions are very clear, judging from the interview he did with Neville on Sky today:

Quote
In an interview with Gary Neville on The Overlap, Kane was asked whether he had a crossroads moment coming up at Tottenham.

The England striker replied: “I think so. I think it’s definitely a conversation to be had with the club. Yeah, like you say, I want to be playing in the biggest games.

“The biggest moments… I hope that we can have that conversation.

“I’m sure that [chief executive Daniel Levy] will want to set out the plan of where he sees it but ultimately it’s going to be down to me and how I feel and what’s going to be the best for me and my career this moment in time.

And also this:

Quote
'I don't know, I mean he might want to sell me. He might be thinking "If I could get £100m for you, then why not?" Do you know what I mean? I'm not going to be worth that for the next 2 or 3 years.'
All very polite so far, but I reckon he's ready to burn some bridges if Levy doesn't stick to their apparent gentleman's agreement.

Quite bold of him to come out and say that, wouldn’t put it past Levy to keep him out of spite and to show ‘who’s boss’.

Either way it’s going to be the saga of the summer isn’t it, and no doubt a sideshow to England’s Euro campaign. Levy won’t sell cheap, remains to be seen if the likes of City and Utd are prepared to pay £120m for a single player. Fingers crossed they both spend all summer chasing him to the detriment of other plans and then Levy turns round in the last week of the window and tells them both to fuck off.
