Doctor Zaius Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The Bundesliga must be the most pointless 'top' league in the world like. Bayern win it every year and then sign the best players from whoever finished second. Quite often on a free. 11th in a row now and theyve signed Dortmund's left back for nowt. Waste of time entirely.

Geogaddi Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Paying 50 million for James Maddison with a year left on his contract is exactly the type of thing I would expect Spurs to do. I hope we stay well clear at that price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 If we thought he was "in the region" of £50M last summer, there's absolutely no way we think his value has held after another 12 months have passed and they've been relegated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamPS Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Edwards list might make sense if it was just Howe, who I think leans more toward PL experience - but not really believable given there will be a transfer committee. Also saying they want value but will only shop in UK, the most expensive market? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Nine said: There are good deals to be had from relegated teams every season, the ‘don’t want relegated players’ thing is such a lazy take.. so many examples of successful transfers coming from teams that went down. Liverpool signed Robertson, Wijnaldum and Henderson form poor teams and they were all crucial players for both their League and Champions League achievements. Teams mismanage and waste quality players all the time. Taking full advantage of that is a key strategy in building up a quality squad of players to compete. I think the three teams that went down this season have a lot of very good players between them. A ridiculous number of them actually.

It's just pure snobbery to turn your nose up at a player purely because he was part of a relegated side. Daft in fact. Some very good players fail at certain clubs for no apparent reason.

Article said we wouldn't mind paying more for Szoboszlai as he was 4 years younger and his wages would be less than Maddison's. With Maddison's fee looking like it won't be much less, I think that likely means we move on from him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just Leicester being arseholes, probably still miffed at going down with a bunch of superstars on their books. They are trying to get the best possible fee for Maddison but they aren't getting £50m from anyone, not with a year left on his contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The stats radar things for Maddison and Szoboslai are basically identical, seem very similar players. Albeit one is in good form and the other just got relegated with a whimper. Can see why they'd both be on our list for the same role. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's really depressing if so, and I'd say that even if I was a neutral. Spurs are a hair away from being a complete basket case, and if Postecoglou goes wrong then they absolutely are that. Meanwhile we're in the CL; a settled club on an upward trajectory. Someone like him choosing Spurs over us suggests the Big 6 brand is a long way from being dismantled.
