Oh my goodness, yeah you're right. I just described exactly what our scouts have done. Weird how I didn't notice that.
I was being highly sarcastic in that post. I dont think our scouts are doing a bad job.
The way I see it is if he isn’t a good enough prospect to warrant a fee over £50 million then should we be interested in him in the first place?
This will get done like Onana. All three parties want it to happen which in the end usually will. Probably a week before the season starts. I don’t know if he’s worth it or not though, I would personally throw the remaining budget and the next on Kane if i could
Unless we are getting Kane we can't wait till a week before the season starts for a striker.
You’re free to be negative all you want and there are certainly reasons to be doubtful! I’m excited by the propect personally and feel like we need to trust ETH and the management because they are professionals who clearly don’t have the same opinion as a some posters on an internet forum. They obviously see something in him to make him a target, otherwise they wouldn’t bother.

Given you’ve actually seen a lot of him, while most say that he is presently real, what do you think of his potential? Can he be among the top 10 CFs around or is he just decent / useful but pretty basic talent wise?
Tbf he doesn't need to be English but if he could do what he did in the Serie A here I don't mind if we pay 100m for him. And the thing is if a 19 yo English is selected for England and he could start regularly as a #9 it means he's probably already better than Kane. He doesn't even need to score and I still think 100m is kinda cheap.
Were you once adviser to Mr Woodward? that would certainly explain our transfer strategy during those years.
You’ve clearly missed my point.
Might wanna tell ETH and the recruitment team before they try to sign him then
That’s all valid but you buy young players based on a projection of what they can become and not what they’ve been.
This is just a horrible take.
Good thing you're not a scout then. Sounds like you've watched 5 minutes of him.
He certainly could become one, no question, but he isn't one yet and that's what we need. If he comes, then we still need another option up front.
That is what we need, but we're not in a position where we can get one. They cost too much.
You can’t have everything I’m afraid. So I’d say a young striker with the potential to become a star is exactly what we need.
I'm mentally not even considering Martial an option
I know he brought in Haller who was pretty unfancied after his West Ham spell, and he was a huge success at Ajax. Two titles and sold at a profit
He reinvented Tadic too. Become one of the most prolific players in Europe.
Ok pal.
Scamacca redemption arc it is so.
We have ended interest for this summer due to takeover farce,just gotta hope Kane stays at Spurs but doesn't sign new deal
Think Milan are in the driving seat for him
Same, he isn't even in my thinking.
Abdoulaye fecking Doucoure scored 5 goals last season
Says who?
Not the takeover that's for sure - I don't believe it's been reported anywhere that it even has the slightest effect.
To be fair Ferguson scored 6 goals in England and you were for signing him up?
Not picking on you, you were just last post when I had this idea. They’re a few fans with contradictory posts here and in regards of Ferguson. Seems like premature buyers remorse
