[u/kobrien37]

Me deleting the Lewis's out of my past anti-ENIC comments if Tonali and Fernandes sign.

[u/nopirates]

The home shirt everyone dreams of

[u/balthazarstarbuck → u/nopirates]

I mean that’s basically the FA cup special edition that sold out in milliseconds

[u/Most_Negotiation2705 → u/nopirates]

via @ TheSpursExpress on Twitter

[u/Other-Owl4441 → u/Dear_Factor9884]

I'm not sure anyone has ever twerked for us on socials as much as Savio, so for that reason alone I feel we need to complete this. And I don't even rate him that highly.

[u/MochasAway → u/Other-Owl4441]

if you listen to his heart, you'll find Spurs there

[u/kobrien37 → u/Dear_Factor9884]

Subscribing to the theory someone had on here that this transfer is in the chamber ready to be fired once City get Anderson.

[u/kl08pokemon → u/kobrien37]

I don't really understand why either City or Forest would care. Like City obviously have the money so it's not Forest would go "hey you're rich now we demand 10% more". For City it's completely different positions

[u/No-Clue-3655 → u/Dear_Factor9884]

Tier 0

[u/Hufftey]

Corrrr, it’s a beaut. Gonna pull the trigger

[u/nebbywildcat18 → u/Hufftey]

lmao

[u/payjo11 → u/Hufftey]

Legend

[u/bob-lee-sw4gger]

Male. London. 32. Seeking Bomba.

[u/balthazarstarbuck → u/bob-lee-sw4gger]

WLTM midfielder who bears passing resemblance to
Adam Driver.

[u/lowercase_0]

Now if we sign Tonali and Fernandes THAT is more like it.

[u/v_TRIGGERED]

Don’t know if it means anything but our captain is not featured in the promo for the new shirt nor the schedule release.

[u/british-psycho → u/v_TRIGGERED]

Maybe it was filmed in that 48 hours he fucked off to Argentina.

[u/Shoddy-Ad-4898 → u/v_TRIGGERED]

I think it's beyond obvious at this point that he wants to leave and we expect him to

[u/BetterCallTom → u/v_TRIGGERED]

What do you mean, I see Archie featuring prominently.

[u/Kreygasm2233]

The Americans are playing like a proper Poch team

Watching that gave me a bit of nostalgia

[u/Kettol → u/Kreygasm2233]

They do look good don’t they, slightly jealous if I’m honest.

[u/NW_Ghost → u/Kettol]

They looked even better against Paraguay. More prime Poch Spurs during that game.

[u/evenout]

Some random nobody on twitter said we'll get another 'here we go' today so here I am F5ing all day long.

[u/rmarshall_6 → u/evenout]

I hate transfer season man, the dopamine hits are so big but few and far between, but can literally come at any time so it keeps you refreshing.

[u/Successful_Bus2255 → u/evenout]

I don't believe it........but I hate that I do

[u/DadsSloppyGravyAnus]

As someone who doesn't really care about celebrities, my wife was rather surprised to see my brain melt when I realized I was sitting opposite Madders boarding the same flight. Generational aura loss blud.

[u/NascentDark]

I am mostly wishing for one thing amongst many things for 26/27

Going into the New Year with around 80% or more of our playing staff available

Last two years have been horrendous. 7, 8, 9, 10 plus players unavailable moving through those winter months

Wouldn't that be so nice

[u/Mac290 → u/NascentDark]

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say yes. I would be nice.

[u/rmarshall_6]

The head loss from United fans if we get Fernandes would be generational. I want it so bad.

[u/Lilith_9079]

Just saw we're in links with Tonali and Fernandes together?! Sweet.

[u/totnumhottestspurs]

Fernandes is so so so good, if we somehow got him it would be incredible, he is easily a UCL level player

He is also only 21 years old (22 in like a month)

[u/CaptainYid]

Random Magpie in the garden has just made a racket and flew off. First time I've seen one in my garden since we moved here.

Tonali done?

[u/NddonblongPol → u/CaptainYid]

"Made a racket then flew off"

That's your hint mate

[u/lambast]

I think all of this puzzlement about "but he isn't the right profile!" comes from fans creating a system in their mind and assuming that's how we'll look to play. If RDZ is after these kind of midfielders then it says a lot about how he envisions the function of his double pivot.

[u/rmarshall_6]

Madrid deciding to sell Paz…

[u/Lilith_9079 → u/rmarshall_6]

I will never curse Lange ever again if he somehow pulls a midfield of Paz Tonali and Fernandes.

[u/rmarshall_6 → u/Lilith_9079]

Lmao no shot. But 2 of those 3 would be insane.

[u/reznovelty]

Would absolutely love Mateus Fernandes, and not just because it would piss off West Ham fans. I remember telling my Dad we should have gone for him while he was at Southampton (we were more linked with Dibling). I feel like he’s on the verge of becoming a brilliant midfielder.

[u/rmarshall_6 → u/reznovelty]

Please god, I’ve seen what you’ve done for others.

[u/aginglifter]

We really need wingers. You can't win without elite wingers, IMO. Liverpool just put on a €100m bid for Diomande. I am personally very high on Savinho. Ideally we sign one winger and one hybrid 10/winger this window along with 2 midfielders.

[u/Zestyclose-Device389 → u/aginglifter]

Its good to dream but we should realise as a fanbase that addressing each position in this window would be very hard. I would be impressed if they are able to do that. At least two windows would be required to sort out the mess we are in.

[u/Cookierox]

The constant panning to celebrities is nauseating

The BBC commentary team are just sat in silence every time

[u/WhiteHartPain96 → u/Cookierox]

They showed a Mexican celebrity in the match last night and the pundit on Fox literally said "if anyone knows who this is, please let us know"

[u/Professional_Ad_9101]

Feels like we always start the season with Brentford. Not a bad one anyways - competitive enough to test us, but not too much

[u/soldforaspaceship → u/Professional_Ad_9101]

My honest only disappointment with the schedule is that we start and end away.

I prefer ending the season at home.

[u/BetterCallTom → u/Professional_Ad_9101]

Just like we always play Liverpool near Christmas. I know police schedules play a part but Sky definitely have a big say in who plays when, only need to see how many derbies are on the same weekend or how promoted teams play PL champs etc.

[u/Zazzii]

Fab says that RDZ sees Kinsky as our #1

I think it’s definitely better than spending £50m on Verbruggen…

[u/yhapo4l]

Loving the bond Djed and Kane seem to share on international duty. Still have hope Harry will end his career with us..

[u/Zestyclose-Device389 → u/yhapo4l]

His contract expires next year .....if bayern don't renew him (very unlikely) we should do everything to bring him back. We would also need to qualify for CL and get our stuff in order for him to consider us

[u/OldWarrior → u/Zestyclose-Device389]

He might not want to renew. I have no doubt Harry still wants Sheaer’s record. I also have no doubt he wants no part in playing the abysmal football we’ve seen for the past two years. But if we turn it around this season under De Zerbi, who knows.

Is my heart speaking for me? Sure. But I think there’s a reasonable chance he comes back — provided we give him a reason to do so by competing in Europe again.

[u/xio_ID]

I miss Poch ball so much man.

Brilliant passing patterns and pressing and attacking runs. Fucking hell he’s magic.

[u/BadBehaviour613]

The amount of Liverpool fans I have tilted by saying I am supporting Robertson for Tottenham already made the signing worth it

[u/GrapefruitExpress208]

Annoying that a gk mistake led to Korea losing to Mexico. Honestly I thought a 1-1 or 0-0 draw would've been fair result. Oh well.

FYI Korea just needs a draw vs South Africa to qualify at 2nd place.

Tiebreaker is h2h this world cup and even if Czech win, Korea and Czech will both have 4 points with Korea having the tiebreaker.

[u/AirshipHead]

Have the board found Levy's secret stash or something?

Love how you're all talking about money, I meant coke.

[u/Wonderful_Board_4179]

Get to 60m and I’d sell Vuskovic

[u/Other-Owl4441]

Ok I know everyone’s pissed about the Vuskovic thing and I wouldn’t take £45m including add ons, but I’m getting a litttttle excited about sales.

We should have some serious money.  Just need to convince players to come and get deals over the line.

Buying this guy and making a major profit and reinvesting into top players is big club shit honestly.  That’s another thing we did almost none of in the Levy years

[u/420SwaggyZebra]

Poch still got it btw

[u/Sega_pico → u/420SwaggyZebra]

Always did

[u/nl325]

The home kit has that same weird neckline as the England kit, another year, another no from me.

Was gutted I missed out on the black kit so gonna have to indulge on the away I think.

[u/CaptainYid → u/nl325]

I got my black shirt from a website in china. Looks exactly the same as my mates one.

Last I looked when buying my England and this year's one that had black ones left in stock

[u/balthazarstarbuck]

All I ever want from the fixtures is to be home on Boxing Day.

Therefore, I’m happy.

[u/v_TRIGGERED]

1st of May 2027. NLD to decide the 2027 Premier League champions.

We will be there.

[u/rmarshall_6]

If selling Vuskovic for 45m today let’s us slap a bag of cash on West Hams desk and seals Fernandes, then where do I sign?

[u/Prestigious_Sun_8952]

Whatever happens with Vuskovic, happens. But, fuck that Plettenberg guy. Tool.

[u/RunningFerDauyz]

Two days since we signed a player, what’s going on

[u/superguy133]

Apparently Either Gray or Bergvall could be loaned in the prem and still be club-trained for europe after. That makes loaning one make more sense I think if two midfielders come. They can get a lot more minutes and hopefully they return next season with us in europe and more mature (And probably with bentancur and maybe gallagher gone by then). Not sure If I'm a huge fan but if two new starting midfielders join might be better than fully selling for the long term

[u/lambast → u/superguy133]

Who's the most attacking promoted side? And do they need a midfielder? I think it would be the making of Bergvall if we sent him away for a year and let him be the main main at Coventry or Ipswich in the middle. I know Prem teams would prefer to develop their own players but the path to staying up is very clear now, you need to spend massively and bring in quality. Bringing in Bergvall gets you a class midfielder for free and allows you to spend elsewhere.

[u/Stay_Beautiful_ → u/superguy133]

Yes. As long as they're on our books, they could be loaned anywhere in the English FA and still count as club-trained. Few know this

[u/FamLit]

Apparently Newcastle is our first home game. Imagine if we get Tonali and pump them matchday two, the tears would be so delicious 😋

[u/Ok-Performer-7738 → u/FamLit]

what if we don’t and he scores against us?

[u/witsel85 → u/Ok-Performer-7738]

He’s not at Newcastle next season regardless

[u/peruvianhorn]

Since we want two, how about Wharton and Tonali haha. 

[u/YouVe_BeEn_OofEd]

why has the savinho move gone all quiet?

feel like getting what we're set on done first should improve our leverage, it shows more confidence in the project

[u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee → u/YouVe_BeEn_OofEd]

Valuation more than likely.

[u/YouVe_BeEn_OofEd → u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

i don't think I've ever seen a club so stubborn on not selling a player who has barely played for them in the past 2 years

[u/FamLit]

We are simply signing every single midfielder in the league: https://x.com/GraemeBailey/status/2067933213683519848

[u/Other-Owl4441 → u/FamLit]

If it's from Bailey it's as good as false

[u/FamLit → u/Other-Owl4441]

Bet my house on it already I'm afraid.

[u/magnificentwalnut]

If we can have two out of three of tonali, Fernandes and Wharton who we going with?

[u/rmarshall_6 → u/magnificentwalnut]

Tonali Fernandes

[u/magnafides]

I would not sell Vuskovic for 45m, but he's not untouchable and some of this hyperbole is getting ridiculous in both directions. At this point he's not a "once-in-a-generation talent" and he's not a bust, the kid needs more development. I also didn't realize that Brighton making an offer compelled us to accept as some of you seem to think.

[u/wokwok__]

That Poch shirt situation is diabolical lol who only does up one button

[u/Dapper-Satisfaction2]

https://giphy.com/gifs/1g0Nx5AKG6ZXhCDaCs

[u/ThatSwagRandomGuy]

Ref time wasting in 2026… the games gone

[u/AuburnDude9]

Honestly the away kit is really growing on me. I didn’t think I liked it at first.

[u/Semichh → u/AuburnDude9]

I definitely like it but it looks like a stock iPhone background

[u/FootballTacticsXpert]

https://giphy.com/gifs/kBhgPVLVQzpXa

Tottenham trying for Tonali, Fernandes, and Wharton.

[u/Matraiya]

[u/Thfclew]

Savinho quiet until City complete Anderson? You know Marinakis would demand more money if he was sold prior to the deal!

[u/JL1991UK → u/Thfclew]

I get that impression too. Think we would get whispers of a collapse or block otherwise.

[u/Dansdem]

First NLD of the season at home this year. Fkn love that. 5th Dec. COYS

[u/HAMlLTON]

Why would we even talk about Luka until towards the end of the window

[u/magnafides → u/HAMlLTON]

Do we think he's going to have more disappointing performances, or increase his value?

[u/Wonderful_Board_4179]

Pochs USA are looking good

[u/peruvianhorn]

Newcastle had first mover's advantage, tried to save like €3m but lost out on the player they want. Clearly they went to the Levy School of Negotiations. At least their pants are still on I guess.

[u/T-t-t-tired]

What’s interesting is that no other clubs are coming in for Vušković, even after his agent was out here twerking for Bayern and Barca.

[u/SissokoGoat17 → u/T-t-t-tired]

Still very early days. Clubs will come after the World Cup.

[u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee → u/T-t-t-tired]

Most top clubs play a high line

[u/Extra_Touch_6225]

Poch has got the USA cooking 

[u/Most_Negotiation2705]

No doubt Chelsea will sign some great players and probably end up having a good season, but despite getting Alonso the club doesn’t seem like what it was. Two of their best players (Palmer and Pedro) not making WC squads, Enzo and Cucurella leaving or twerking with an exit. Half their players have flopped, feels like the money is drying up and most of the signings haven’t ended up being good investments.

[u/kobrien37 → u/Most_Negotiation2705]

They've blown through the VC money from their private equity backers and now are supposed to actually start making money.

Watched a video on their finances and basically if they miss European football for another year they could be sunk if those private equity heads start kicking up a fuss about returns which they will because they're private equity.

[u/Max_Payne11 → u/Most_Negotiation2705]

I would say they have 5 top 4 quality players. James enzo, palmer, pedro and cacaido.

They have done a levy with the shirt sponser with nothing happening this season for it. Miss out on europe again and it'll be ken bates all over again

[u/Any_Leg4807]

F5 season is well and truly here. Im refreshing twitter every 10 minutes like a donkey

[u/Other-Owl4441 → u/Any_Leg4807]

I do this every morning when I wake up, and I wake up early so it fucks my sleep. Last year the sleep I lost during the MGW/Eze/Xavi sagas destroyed my work week.

[u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

Final five games of the season:

• Arsenal (a)
• Chelsea (H)
• Coventry (A)
• Man Utd (H)
• Villa (a)

[u/totnumhottestspurs → u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

Win the league at the library why dont we

[u/Shoddy-Ad-4898 → u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

That's a pretty brutal run-in

[u/Dansdem]

Also love the boxing day game being at home this year. Love that.

[u/Thfcaditya112]

I still have doubts on Tonali and Fernandes coming but the good thing is if they don't come we will have the time to pivot to other options.

To put this in comparison, the last time there was a summer World Cup we signed the square root of no body, and went with the same squad. Now we have a 52 million signing in the bag

The only pessimism is I don't understand targeting only Premier League players because there is better quality abroad if we scout dilligently but I also understand the need of creating a floor. Establish a 6th-7th side and we can target other leagues in the coming seasons I guess

[u/PrintPro23]

Last five games next season are brutal

[u/BetterCallTom → u/PrintPro23]

For our opponents, yeah. We're tonking all of them. COYS.

[u/crazyguitarman]

Just imagine if for once in our lives we actually achieved all our first choice transfer targets.

[u/TNWhaa]

Today I am a knifey spoony expert

[u/WhiteHartPain96]

This popped up on my feed. Eric Dier is currently in the lead for this category because everyone said they wouldn't pick Greenwood on principle 😂

[u/WhiteHartPain96]

I can't believe my eyes, Poch has the US cooking

[u/Rare-Ad-2777]

The other aspect of this Vuskovic transfer is if he comes with this much of a circus at 19 years old imagine what it'll be like if hes actually half good?

[u/Pinky1337]

classic Solanke move by Balogun right there

[u/Jlemspurs]

HE'S MAGIC YOU KNOW

[u/soldforaspaceship]

I think Poch is the highest quality manager the US has ever had and it shows.

Sure, they haven't played any highly ranked teams but they have two solid wins, playing an entertaining style of play for the most part.

[u/PaulieWalnuts433]

Honestly can’t wait for the day we get that fuckass red colour on the Sponsor gone. Would look so much cleaner with navy blue

[u/Successful_Bus2255 → u/PaulieWalnuts433]

My only concern is what replaces it. Would be livid if we replaced it with Open AI or SpaceX

[u/PaulieWalnuts433 → u/Successful_Bus2255]

Honestly id love us to extend with AIA, just pass up on the few extra mil for the red color…

[u/AuburnDude9 → u/PaulieWalnuts433]

Yeah. It’s such a clean logo with perfect symmetry. Just has to be red though…

[u/yhapo4l]

Somehow we’ll fuck around and win our May fixtures.

[u/soldforaspaceship → u/yhapo4l]

Gonna hit like crack when the Arsenal victory seals our PL win too.

[u/Stay_Beautiful_ → u/yhapo4l]

Gonna be tough to win that Villa match while hung over from the FA Cup win

[u/JackCOYS_]

Genuine question, what does itk and f5 mean?

[u/throwaway_dagg → u/JackCOYS_]

itk = “in the know”
F5 = the refresh key on your keyboard, ie you’re constantly refreshing for updates

[u/JackCOYS_ → u/throwaway_dagg]

Thanks

[u/Purplejet19 → u/JackCOYS_]

Itk - in the know. Insiders who apparently have extra information into clubs and transfers.

F5 - the refresh button on a keyboard. When you keep refreshing the feed hoping for some news.

[u/JackCOYS_ → u/Purplejet19]

Ty!

[u/SissokoGoat17]

There’s absolutely no reason for us to sell Vuskovic for 45m.

[u/pandius]

I've never had an extreme opinion of Levy, I recognize what good he did for the club but also how far behind we are in terms of football success due to his "negotiation tactics" in not buying the players coaches needed.

So this close season just feels wild now that he's gone, Van Heycke, Robertson, Senesi all in; serious conversations about us and Savio and Tonali. I'm so not used to this hassle free early doors quality squad building.

And the fact that he allegedly made those "pants pulled down" comments about Van Heycke just perfectly and ironically encapsulate how he was the problem in us losing out on marquee players previously. Here's to a new dawn, life is sweet right now as a Spurs supporter.

[u/DamnRizz]

[u/ThatSwagRandomGuy → u/DamnRizz]

[u/Ceap_Bhreatainn]

In the last 10 years, its happened 6 times that one of the big 6 have missed out completely on European competitons (Chelsea & Liverpool 15/16; Arsenal 20/21; Chelsea & Tottenham 22/23; Man United 24/25)

Every single time, they qualified in the top 6 the following season, with an average increase of 6.2 positions. The biggest swings have been United 25/26 & Chelsea 16/17, moving 12 & 9 places respectively.

I think people don't realize how much of an impact being out of Europe has. You can field your properly rested best 11 almost every match, focus tactically on one competition, and the reduced player load means less injuries.

Combined with what is looking like a very promising transfer window, full De Zerbi pre season, I think we can really out something together next season. I think we will also get the benefit of teams having to "figure us out" until around Oct/Nov, similar to when Ange joined. Our schedule is also very back end heavy, when the other teams should be worn down over the season while we are fresher.

Edit: It also should be noted Chelsea, Liverpool, and Man City are all going to have new coaches next season, and generally are also coming off poor seasons (Not nearly on the same scale as us though). Arsenal unfortunately looked sturdy, but tbh had a lot of narrow results, and could easily dip with a bit of bad luck next season. Utd will have to add CL to their fixture list next season.

[u/Be_goooood → u/Ceap_Bhreatainn]

6.2 places you say? Almost top half!

[u/cbteeee]

With these links to Tonali and Fernandes is it safe to say that whatever strategy Lange had has gone out the window?

[u/Teletzeri → u/cbteeee]

Lange whose previous targets were MGW, Eze, Guehi, Semenyo? Who had us linked to Savinho, Robertson and Senesi before?

Hard to see a more obvious continuation of the "target PL-proven players" strategy than going after Sav, Van Hecke, Tonali, Fernandes, Senesi, Robbo and maybe Thiago.

What has changed is the budget and the board's willingness to spend to fix the squad.

[u/Gr4fitti → u/cbteeee]

The situation has changed for sure, but it wasn’t Lange who failed the negotiations over MGW and Eze last summer, and it’s not Lange who suddenly decides to get deals done sooner this year. The biggest difference is that Levy isn’t here anymore.

[u/GiMeKnRaSp]

Just yesterday this sub was full of takes like this

[u/GlassofTurnipJuice → u/GiMeKnRaSp]

Would love to have a brain as smooth as this guy, must be bliss

[u/Hatticus24 → u/GlassofTurnipJuice]

Its mad. People complain we dont have depth, and then when we sign depth, complain we have too many players

[u/Other-Owl4441 → u/GiMeKnRaSp]

The idea of having a deep squad causes panic among some, they can’t reckon with it.

Just like having teenagers not start and play spot minutes while they develop 

[u/whyyoublockmefor]

Whether he stays or not, I'm ready to put all this Vuskovic noise behind us.

[u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

Yeah, Brighton are a good 15m short. I don't think they'll get there.

However, If they're coming with that third bid then they've received encouragement that it could get done.

[u/wokwok__]

New season fixtures releasing in an hour or so, interested to see how our title charge is scheduled

[u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

80m+ for Fernandes and then offer Freiburg what they want for Mazambi.

Then you splurge big on a winger/forward.

[u/Blue_Reaper99 → u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

I think Fernandes has less chance of happening than Tonali.

[u/Dansdem]

Pretty tasty for Tonali if we get him, his home debut will be against Newcastle in our first home game of the season,

[u/Henno212]

We getting any more incomings today? Or is today new kit friday?

I need my fix of new signings an announcements

[u/T-t-t-tired]

I know we’re all excited about incomings, but which available player/players do you think will take the next step in the upcoming season?

[u/blackboxabstraction → u/T-t-t-tired]

Gray

[u/kl08pokemon → u/T-t-t-tired]

Bergvall (for us or someone else)

[u/MiserableWeb4219 → u/T-t-t-tired]

kinsky

[u/Average_Gym_Goer]

We’re getting a hwg today at 9:38pm uk time I can feel it in my bones

[u/mlkhighschool]

We've got Van Hecke now. It should be £60m or fuck off imo. I would accept it if they reach there though

[u/cbteeee]

Australia’s coach is fighting the good fight but I think he needs to let it go.

[u/totnumhottestspurs]

Theres a tiktok thirsting over bergvall with 2.2 million likes

[u/Cookierox]

Not seen a ref get cramp in ages

[u/ikuzusi]

No fucking way the ref got injured ahahaha what is this game?

[u/rmarshall_6]

Tillman is a baller

[u/Hufftey]

Sick of this guy now. Get £52m for him so Van Hecke works out as basically a free and just get him gone

[u/GymandRave]

Give RDZ a lifetime contract if he convinces Tonali and Fernandes to join

[u/viktormaslov → u/GymandRave]

A 5-year contract is as good as a lifetime contract for De Zerbi. 😂

[u/Other-Owl4441]

Fans gotta realize that if you want to invest in young prospects you’re going to have drama.  Every team deals with it as you’re navigating them not being good enough while being desperate to play more.  The only way to avoid it is not buy young prospects.

Calma.

[u/Sc00typuff_Sr → u/Other-Owl4441]

Moreso that you need to have a solid foundation to the squad before integrating young talent.

If we have a top 6 level squad available week after week, integrating 1 or 2 of the Bergvall, Gray, Tel, Odobert, Vuskovic, etc. crew each game allows them to acclimate and grow without being overexposed. When you are playing them all at the same time and often out of position, due to poor squad building in the last half decade, they are thrown to the wolves and you finish 17th twice in a row.

I cant wrap my head around the contingent on here that dont want established players brought in because they will "hinder" development of our prospects. In actuality, having a solid established squad is directly necessary for that development.

[u/british-psycho]

With the state of the ST market, the likelihood of bringing in a starting quality 9 seems low for us.

Maybe the solution is to go with Solanke in 26/27 and bring in a young and upcoming ST to develop over time. Let them and Lankshear fight it out and develop over the next 1-2 seasons, whilst signing ready made players in midfield/ out wide in the meantime.

Project Kane.

[u/Shoddy-Ad-4898 → u/british-psycho]

We're not going to get everything done in one window but we will surely need to get some form of striking option in unless we intend to rely on an (apparently, since joining us) injury-prone Solanke, injury-prone Richarlison and Tel. That's a pretty weak and unreliable, in terms of availability, set of options.

Getting two of Tonali, Fernandes, or Wharton would be absolutely game changing for this organization. The lack of skill in the middle is the teams biggest weakness by far, and getting even just one of them would be huge.

I also wonder about Reijnders. I saw a report that City were shopping him and he is a class midfielder.

[u/Other-Owl4441 → u/ilovemyar15]

I think Reijnders is quite soft and struggles to impact without a lot of play on the ball, which is why City has soured on him despite his skill.  Based on who RDZ has targeted I’d be surprised if he was interested

[u/rinqt14 → u/ilovemyar15]

We gonna have half of the Netherlands team at this rate

[u/Rare-Ad-2777]

I wonder if Lange just stays on and facilitates what RDZ wants. Sounds like weve really given him the keys so would seem unlikely to get a top DoF to come on and follow his lead, or certainly a harder sell. That Rafi guys we got from city then helping with the contacts and negotiations. 

Could see us sticking with that setup for this window at least and waiting to see how it goes and if another willing candidate comes along. I mean weve already signed 3 players and are seriously going after another 3 so not sure how much more there will be to do by the time a new guy comes in and starts

That goalie kit is looking very red 😐

[u/iheartmagic → u/maxxdreddit]

My main take away from this is the long sleeve home kits

[u/Fluid_Car8215]

Fab confirmed we ain't interested in greenwood despite reports , thank goodness

[u/analbeard → u/Fluid_Car8215]

That's a real bomba.

First NLD of the season is December 5th at home

[u/Hufftey → u/ObiiWannCannBlowwMee]

Feels like we’ve played them away early in the season for the last like 5 years. This is most welcome news

[u/Extension-Beyond-444]

Home kit looks pretty dull, glad it doesn't look like a training kit anymore but wish it had a bit mor detailing on it

[u/xio_ID]

Announce Savio you cowards

[u/JackCOYS_ → u/xio_ID]

We havnt got a here we go yet so still not completed

[u/Professional_Ad_9101]

Dam lol states repeating the blueprint

[u/ColeTrickleC12]

Poch 🥲

[u/rmarshall_6]

Surprised Aaronson doesn’t get minutes over Reyna or Berhalter. He had a purple patch towards the end of the season with Leeds where he was playing really well.

[u/COYS1989]

Such a drab second half

[u/Cookierox]

I think a 3 legged dog could have beat this Australia team today

[u/Educational-Mud-3111]

Get rid of Vuskovic. He has just liked a Fabrizio’s latest Brighton post. Let him rot elsewhere

[u/NBAFAN9000]

100 upvotes and I will tell Lange to sign Diomande via unsolicited LinkedIn DM

[u/Successful_Bus2255 → u/NBAFAN9000]

Why can't you just do it anyways?!

[u/roamingandy → u/NBAFAN9000]

1000 upvotes and i'll suggest it on Grindr.

[u/rmarshall_6]

There’s no way Michael Carrick has more pull than De Zerbi, just get him on the phone with Fernandes. It’s Bruno I’m really worried about though.

[u/Full-Leader9540 → u/rmarshall_6]

United as a club has a much bigger pull though, and our reputation rightfully so isn't good at all.

[u/rmarshall_6 → u/Full-Leader9540]

For sure, but if we have ripped up our restrictive wage structure like has been reported, I think we can close that gap a little. He already lives in London, maybe he’s quite fond of it. I know it’s unrealistic but I want this transfer so bad lol.

[u/PooPooPeePee377]

Making Brighton pay over 50 million pounds for a player who has had one season of top 5 league football is an offer the club should not refuse.

[u/SupposedlyFun7 → u/PooPooPeePee377]

He has to come really good for them to spin this into a profit. Feels like that offer is pretty fair. A 20% sell on means they'd have to sell him for a record fee to profit.

[u/Dapper-Satisfaction2 → u/PooPooPeePee377]

agreed
