What is going on with Tete @Ric Flair?
 

Any noises that Lyon are likely to sign him on a free when his Shakhtar contract expires next week, or could he be up for grabs?

It's an interesting one, isn't it? Just read in The Athletic that he'll be free this summer. He'd be such a good signing if we can get him.

Back when he was a big rumour to be coming here him and his agent flew over and met someone at a business hotel just outside of Tottenham.
 

A proper random one but it did lead to a lot of chat that he moved to Lyon and at the same time agreed a premier league move for the summer.

Should be all over that. Been linked before as well, and stood up well in Ligue 1. 
 

A quick look suggests his contract is up next summer, but should be attainable for a very low price. This is the one

We couldn't sign as we were over the ffp limit. We did have talks though.

That the Tifo article? Not a big fan of the 2 players they recommended for centre back and centre mid

 

A centre back who isn't the best in the air (just what we need with our issues), and a centre mid that for a supposed 6/8 who comes out nowhere near Wilf, KDH, or even Bouba...

My point exactly. Couldn’t then but could agree to something in the future no?

...I thought it was cut and dried...!!!

Very much the RW I was hoping we picked up. We have lost out on Ebiowei, it would be great to make this work, but I do not believe it will happen, too late in the day now.

Yes I presume so. He'd be an interesting one as he'd probably got for sub 20m.

Lyon are in a bit of a shit state having not qualified for Europe, I think he's fair game. There's a bit of confusion about whether foreign players with only a year left on their contracts can have them torn up given the situation won't be sorted in Ukraine by the start of the season, but Tete has 18 months left still so really not sure. I suspect he'd not cost more than £20m though which would be a fantastic price.

 

He's my sign at all costs RW, he would be very very good here. Closely followed by Madueke as a 2nd choice.

I mean there was absolutely no point in having talks solely for last season given this very reason, its always been to try and get him for the coming season.

Annoying

Funny one because he wouldn't cost a lot and we definitely need a right winger. There's something in this ffp deadline.

Why are we the only team who bothers attempting to adhere to it and yet then make horrendous decisions like giving Bertrand and Vestergaard £70-80k a week. Banter club.

Completely agree, was really disappointed in that article. Felt like they barely did the research. Weird choice of CB just after mentioning we had set pieces issues, then they don't include Tielemans in a look at our midfield (presuming he's off, I guess), but suggest no option to replace him? Instead they suggest a player they don't even seem sure about, and who by their own admission doesn't have any creative qualities! Not the usual standard I'd expect from Tifo.

No point, he's back in France negotiating his new deal to stay at Lyon

You're kidding. Where are you two seeing that?

 

I can only presume he's just very happy at Lyon. Gah.

There is discussed talk on Hojberg available for transfer from spurs. Whenever I've seen him he offers a bit more steel, tough in the tackle and shows a fair bit of ball playing in his locker. Lastly, he seems personally someone who'd fit in a Rodgers team with him being comfortable maintaining and retrieving possession.

 

Only if Tielemens left but I see the value he'd offer, potentially as someone to support KDH if he stepped up to fill that Tielemens shaped hole. What is everyone's thoughts on Hojberg?
