Get Kulu in. He'll do really well here. Could do a hell of a lot worse than him this summer.

Wonder if Mikey Moore will also get some PL time for them this season. Seems like a sensational talent

 

I've heard the name in passing from Spurs fans but haven't seen him play. But they rate him highly, so he probably will, yeah.

I like him, but my god he was absolutely horseshit the last time I saw him at SJP. Why is he leaving Spurs? A quick google brings nowt.

 

I think they might be are after more direct and faster wingers.

 

And not sure they were happy with how he played when they moved him inside at times last season.

 

Not 100% sure to be honest.

Isn't he off to Juve?

For Kulu - he’s not the sort of winger Ange favours but has always considered himself more of a #10. Did a good job at times being the false 9 or even the actual 9 when injuries took their toll, but seems like we’re happy to listen to good offers. Does a lot of good things, can be frustrating.

 

For Son - he was terrific at LW/CF early last season but has simply played too much football, particularly when factoring in the travel for international games. He’s definitely getting older, but he’s also just knackered. Hopefully we can rest him more this season if we bring in a couple of players up front.

 

For Mikey Moore - he’s still young enough that Man City and Man U are trying to poach him before he’s allowed to sign an adult contract with us. As a result we’ve fast-tracked him a bit to try to nail him down. He could be really special - has that sort of Rooney thing where he already seems to have adult strength and balance, and cockiness to spare. Expect to see him get a lot of minutes this year, although all off the bench.

Did you lot ever try Kulu in one of your advanced 8 positions?

 

Think he could look really decent in there instead.

Don’t think he’s dynamic enough or possesses enough pace/acceleration for what Ange wants there. Tends to turn the same way when receiving the ball too. Such an interesting player though. Covers an unbelievable amount of ground, and from time to time produces moments of breathtaking vision and skill.

Roma kits are absolutely lush.

 

Not a huge fan of the Adidas kit last season, just looked like Spain. Usually they are the lushest kits around though.

Tottenham have got some exciting youngsters coming through. Will Lankshear could be the next Kane and also Lucas Bergvall who looks to be the best bet.

I know Sissoko didn't help himself sometimes but it's a travesty that we barely played him in his best position and instead put him out wide. He had all the tools to be on par with Joelinton in one of the wide CM roles. 

Same with Gini.

These are the types of signings we should make to try and close the gap.

 

I think we are in an awkward position. With what we have we are top 4 challengers. ATm cos of PSR we don't have the money and maybe the network to go out and get us the next Tonali, Isak, Bruno, Botman that we think can immediately get us to the next level. But we don't want to go too risky either on unproven/young talent. So we are looking at high-floor, lower-ceiling players like Thiaw.  Players that we think can come in immediately and contribute but not a star signing or a young prospect.
