Tough one. Assuming we can get him insured, we then have to look at our squad. If money is tight then there really is only one position that needs strengthening. 
 

 

Besides, Conte’s statement about the door always being open is Intruiging.. because of his attachment to Spurs, if they want him, there’s only one place he’ll go.

 

 

Coupled with the fact that there’s actually no real link to him just someone rehashing a story from last year, I can put this down to being a non starter.

i don’t think the issue is about if we’d want him, if we have the money, we’d want him- he’s different gravy…. But would he want to come to us? That’s the stumbling block.

There are reasons he might come here, as opposed to Spurs.

 

Cons to Spurs: Conte isn't gonna last, because he never does. With Poch gone and the team aging (and Kane wanting out), it isn't what it was.

 

Pros to coming here: Danish players, a generally better locker room, and with Youri probably on the way out, a path to being a regular starter. Truth is, we are likely to be playing at least twice a week soon, and he will get games this season.

 

I am indifferent to him joining (if credible medical people say it's not dangerous), but I don't think it's an unreasonable move.

I’d take him. Be like having an old, slightly knackered show pony in the paddock. Might be good for the odd prance around.

Well that might put an end to that then. Very quiet so far on the transfer front

[majaco]

It's unlikely to get noisy.  We  have a full squad if Mendy takes Benkovic's slot.

 

If this thread becomes full of sound and fury it will signify nothing.or very little.

Arsenal?  

 

he’s got. Lot of friends down in London.. Spurs apparently don’t want him… he’ll not care about any rivalry, just about getting to the World Cup. I think he’ll prefer a London club but don’t see Chelsea being in for him  of course there’s Brentford in for him

Brentford will win the league.

Excellent.   We really do not need him unless we can off load some surplus.

[Scotch]

If he was willing to accept a short(ish) term contract for under 100k a week, say maybe 18 months.... its 100% worth a go. Especially if we think we may lose Tielemans in the summer. 

 

6 months to get his fitness up then a year to prove himself as Youri's replacement. 

 

I know the exciting thing is signing young superstars with bags of potential but there still could be a world class player in there somewhere and if we can bring that out, along with his experience at the top level which we don't have in CM, there won't be many better Youri replacements around.

I think he’d be a great signing. However I suspect that he’ll end up at Brentford unless another London club come in for him - he seems to want to live in London, and we can’t do much about that!

[Dan LCFC]

Got to say I'm not feeling this at all. I always really liked him as a player and I think Spurs' failure to ever properly replace him is their biggest reason for downfall (as much as Levy never backing Pochettino). Two big problems for me here though are the obvious health issues which make this a gamble in itself, and the other is surely we have other priorities. The implication on here is that we aren't exactly wash with spending money this window so using what little we do have to bring in somebody in a position I think we're already very strong in just seems like a complete waste. I don't think we should go mad this window but surely, surely the priority has to be a defender above all.

 

I'd take him if it was a reasonable deal for us and a defender was also signed but I've seen nothing to suggest that's the case. All feeling a bit last two Januarys to me in all honesty.

Not really what we need here, let's be honest. More concerned about getting some decent defensive cover.

 

He would still be a good addition but money needs spending elsewhere.

[Stadt]

I think this would be really daft.

For some reason I thought he was older then 29, thought he was about 32/33.

Well he does turn 30 in a month.

You get my point though. He still has a good three/four years left in the tank, as long as he can prove his long term fitness.

Rumours from Brentford fans are he’s already had and passed a medical there and could be unveiled as early as tomorrow.

Close thread he’s not the player we need

Most of our transfer threads are about players who have zero chance of coming here and often have already gone somewhere else!

I wouldn’t want to be the medic signing that off.
