Transfer: 2024 Summer Transfer Window - Open Window Discussion

Odobert to Spurs
37M.
Neat story. Guy has made bold choices and it has paid off.

 

[maclean]

Hložek looked to be going to Leicester, which would've been very cool from a Czech perspective, but in the end it seems he'll be staying in Germany and transferring to Hoffenheim for 17-18 m (+bonuses)

Odobert to Spurs

This came completely out of the blue. I'm feeling a bit meh about it for two reasons:

Reason number one is that Spurs need more immediate quality on the wings. Which is kind of what I expected them to bring in, considering that they almost signed Neto. But now their bringing in another guy to develop instead. They already had plenty of potential on the wings in Johnson, Moore and Min-Hyuk (arrives in January).

Reason number two is that he seems to primarily play on the left. What they need is someone to play mostly on the right to allow Kulusevski to play in midfield. Which once again, is what I expected them to bring in considering that they almost signed Neto.

So apparently United knew of Yoro's metatarsal issue before signing him. It was weird that he trained immediately after signing and played one half vs Rangers without any issues. Then he got injured against Arsenal.

Odobert didn't look like he belonged in the Premier League last year. Hopefully he progresses in the next few years.

Romain Favre loaned again from Bournemouth to France, this time to Brest

Can't say I've watched him much, but he didn't look out of place from what I hear. Well enough for Spurs to identify him with their data-heavy approach.

Will be interesting to see what he can do in a very different system.

He's going to step right in just fine, way more potential than Johnson

 

[Evilo]

Yeah weird to me he seemed to belong quite well from what I've seen.

 

[Jussi]

Because of course:

I can't claim to have more than a passing knowledge, he didn't stick out to me positively or negatively.

His average Who scored rating last year was 6.62, which on the surface isn't great, it's the same as Ben Davies, but it was the 3rd best for players who started more than 15 appearances for Burnley.

I get the frustration from the perspective that we were looking at a different profile previously. However, given the speed on this one, I get the feeling he was part of the list for a while. It should be noted he can play left, right and center.

I also think the club and Ange view Johnson in a more positive light than some of the fans. I think they are expecting him to take a big step forward this season.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Spurs are looking for a right winger. They were supposedly very close to agreeing a deal for Neto but got blindsided by Chelsea.

I’d pay Tottenham 20mil to take Antony

 

[HeHateMeFrisbee]

Levy will 100% take you up on that

Now do defensive numbers, interplay and goals and assists per 90, at basically every level he played since he was a u19 at psg. I'm just frustrated at this transfer window at Spurs overplaying for mediocre players. But I do hope they all prove me wrong.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

This is a joke, right?

CP should take that already

 

[luiginb]

Irish intertional Sammie Szmodish, one of the best players last years in the Championship for Blackburn signs for Ispwich for 10+ mil. They also get Southgate favourite Kalvin Phillips on a loan from City

Shaqiri rejects Saudi cash and goes back home to Basel

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Ispwich

 

[S E P H]

- Some reports say that Merino to Arsenal is done.

- Nott'ham Forest now wants to sign Nketiah.

- Arsenal and Man City are going after Bruno G., who has a 100 million pound release clause. Some agents think he could move by the end of the window, but I cannot see how Arsenal would buy Merino and then go after Bruno.

- Chiesa is rumoured back to Arsenal.

- Arsenal is linked with Victor Reis; @John Pedro, any reports on him?

- Sagoe Jr. is going on a loan to Shrewsbury Town.

 

[les Habs]

How is it that Chelsea and PSG are after Sancho?

CP has to kick 20% back to Chelsea, so is holding out for more.

 

[Jussi]

PSG no longer are.

 

[Evilo]

Apparently PSG isn't anymore.

In devastating news, Bradley Locko had his potential move to PSG or other big teams stopped by a major injury. Will be out several months.
