RowlattsFox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Jan Vertonghen officially left Spurs. Could be useful for experience, can play in a back 3 but seems to have struggled this season. Would probably prefer someone younger, as we already have Evans for the experience. If we plan to keep Benkovic then I'd probably think about Vertonghen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col city fan Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 1 minute ago, Realist Guy In The Room said: Absolutely. That isn’t to say we can’t make the odd shrewd signing. I think Deeney is available on a free. As a plan b, that would be a great bit of business and add a bit of physicality to the squad which we clearly lack. Deeney of 3 years ago maybe, now he’s a completely spent force at this level and I’d go nowhere near him. I’d think about that winger a lot more seriously (Sarr?) He’d look dangerous in a good side 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post martyn Posted 27 July 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 27 July 2020 (edited) Don't agree that Ismaila Sarr has "no end product". He has inconsistent end product, but I've seen him lay on plenty of chances, and he seems relatively composed with his finishing, he doesn't just try and smack it. Yesterday for instance, he laid 2 chances on a plate for Doucoure and Welbeck with intelligent cut backs whilst running at pace. He can whip in a mean cross as well, although that won't mean much with our style. He's the type of player who Maddison and Tielemans would love to play with as well as it gives us a genuine rapid option to slide in behind the full backs.

We’d all love starting quality young lads but we need a lot so realistically we are going to have to be a bit shrewd and weigh up where was can bring in a cheaper, older player for the short term. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah my issue is the inconsistency, as we already have Barnes who is very direct (I’d say he has no end product though). I commented yesterday saying I wasn’t convinced with Sarr, but his pace on the counter supporting Vardy could be interesting in games where we sit back.

lgfualol Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 I'd take ANY winger with a bit of skill and capable of beating a defender at this point. We need some confidence in the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Number 6 Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Think there are options from the relegated clubs which would add some depth but as always depends on whether they want to be a rotation option or a first choice. Watford: Sarr looks very promising, maybe a bit raw. Wouldn't mind a punt on Deulofeu but don't know if he will be struck by injury. Bournemouth: Got to be worth asking about Brookes I would have thought, again will need game time but looks very promising. Wilson is available for £10m which seems like great business to me: he's had a bad season but got 14 goals in 18/19 and might not mind being a rotation option with Vardy and Iheanacho. I guess we'll ask about Ake again too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowlattsFox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Could see some of Watford's most talented players being on loan to Udinese for a season at least. Sarr and Doucoure in particular. We were interested in Sarr last summer weren't we so I can see us taking a look again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarr with the raw pace, Brooks a bit more like a Mahrez type with silky skills and ability to play slide rule passes, plus a left footed option which we don't have right now. They'd actually be my first choice options (i think we need 2 wide players). Edited 27 July 2020 by martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerrrFox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 We need 3 players to improve the first choice 11/really push players currently in those positions. CM - We need an all action midfielder, we are really missing a player who is aggressive and comfortable on the ball. I would sign someone like Nahitan Nandez from Cagliari Winger - We need more goals and assists from out wide. Various players have been mentioned don’t really care who as long as they get the job done. ST - a player who can really challenge Vardy to keep him on his toes but has a different playing style and attributes. A player who likes to drop deep and link the play, whether it is a False 9 type or a Big man who brings others into the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but add a CB, we have to have another, so storming the pick and mix, I will choose Midfield - Abdoulaye Doucouré Winger - Victor Tsygankov Striker - Loan for Luka Jovic or buy Aleksandr Mitrovic (Like him, no idea why) CB - Milenkovic for some Serbian group therapy Its £1 for a bag of pick n mix right?

Of the relegated defenders this season maybe Ake would be worth a shout and we would probably be able to negotiate a decent fee, but we can't compete with Man City financially if they're gonna just splash £35m on him.

Dahnsouff Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 (edited) Horrible to say, but surely Bournemouth are the most at risk (Not because of selfish beach dwellers this time) as their TV money reliance is very high. So shopping there if they have decent players like Brooks would make sense. Edited 27 July 2020 by Dahnsouff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StinckleyFox Posted 27 July 2020 Share Posted 27 July 2020 Evander Ferreira - FC Midtjylland The prem would obviously be a massive jump up from the Danish league, however seems to have great technical ability, good long shots and weight of pass. Very similar to Maddison in that he plays centrally, but can also drift wide into the attacking areas. (Plus he’s Brazilian) Obligatory skills video: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
