I hope he and others are maresca signings, because I'd hate to think we're buying players for maresca that he doesn't rate He's more like Mendy than Tielemans.

I know it's the Mercury but it is part of the Headline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deep blue Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 My assumption, and hope, is that Maresca is being consulted about all our signings. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sk4 Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 All these players allegedly we are after Winks and others mentioned are they really players that Enzo as identified or are they part of Rudkins dream team , this is what worries me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxdiamond Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 My Spurs mate says he was not a great fan of Winks but good work ethic just not a top level player. As we are now in Championship Perhaps he can cut it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitchinFox Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 Very pleased if we do get him for £10m. Just the type of player we need in the Championship. Good defensively, but can open up a defence from deep – so can see him feeding Vardy... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Flair Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 £10m for a player who's injury prone, will command big wages, not got much of a ceiling for improvement so is a distinctly average PL player at best, is irksome. Worrying sign of things to come I'm afraid, but of no surprise. The board haven't learnt anything and seemingly Glover is not the saviour many think he is, never been successful anywhere yet and he's been around for decades. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rudkin would only be involved in negotiations. Scouting and recruitment is headed by Glover (who has sketchy record to put in kindly). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dusty Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 He was pretty good under Poch for a while, played a part in getting to the champions league finals too. He fell off after Mourinhos first season, as has most of that Tottenham squad tbf. There’s a decent player in there, hopefully Maresca can bring it out.

Saying its 40 million of rising to £45 for Maddison...or 30 plus Winks who may cost up to 10 million, also changes how much we have to pay Norwich.

Mourinho wanted to sign him at Man Utd and then in the Spurs documentary took him under his wing for a bit... but it didn't work out. That's some real top level managers singling this lad out as a talent. He's 27, there's no reason the right manager can't get the absolute best out of him in his peak years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's no longer wanted by Spurs, if nobody from the PL else is interested then he has to accept that he can no longer command big wages. He can stay at Spurs and rot or accept the pay offer we make. We don't have to match or even come close to what Spurs are paying. Rot/paycut/no pay are his options. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarkey123 Posted 28 June 2023 Share Posted 28 June 2023 On the face of it, you have to say this is a shocking bit of business for us. Spurs fans will be loving getting our best player (player they desperately need) on the cheap and getting rid of their deadwood (arguably we don’t really need) at an inflated price. Only at Leicester it seems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
