I see your Marsden & Chaplow, and raise you a Dave Armstrong and chuck in Keith Cassells to make up the numbers 😉

What other business are Spurs likely to do this summer?

Spurs are still hopeful of bringing in at least one more centre-back, with Sevilla’s Jules Kounde, Inter’s Milan Skriniar and Jannik Vestergaard of Southampton among their targets.

They also hope to shift some of their existing defenders, with Aurier and Davinson Sanchez both available. Toby Alderweireld, as The Athletic reported this month, is hoping to leave before the end of the window.

Toby swap for vesty 👍🏻

[the saint in winchester]

Headline today is that Saints are reluctant to deal with Spurs, after getting hurt on the Hoejberg deal. Problem is they are circling for both Vesty and Ings. We need other bidders ASAP.

I don't see the hurt there. Maybe Fourpast, Bale, Chivers and Toby.

I'd swap Vest for Sanchez....

And Dean Richards in his prime, how about him alongside Salisu now?

I'd swap Vest for a decent cup of tea.

I’d swap Vest for a sleeveless T shirt any day of the week.

Don't forget the Hoddle rumpus. Think Rupert got that one right.

I think we won there. We got a decent fee for him. And he didn't have a great career with them, plagued by injuries.

Passed away so young. 🙁

This is the sort of gossip this forum is made for. Juicy drama!

Hope he goes tbh, Salisu is quality and the money could buy us a pretty tasty attacking mid.

Vaguely remember something like that!

If we can get good funds for Vestergaard, in a weird way I think it can make us stronger.

Agree.  Economics, right? We can’t make the signings we need without selling he or Ingsey.  Was hoping Roma got him.

Buy low, sell high. Vest ain't getting higher than this (the low part is debateable though)

No.  On their list, though.

Hopefully this rules them out.

Levy learning from the Les Reed playbook... best player is about to be sold so leak all the exotic signings you have lined up with the incoming money.

[tajjuk]

I'm surprised Son hasn't been linked to a bigger club to be honest or wanted to move.

He will be the main Man/Striker now

He has always done well when Kane has been injured and out of the team tbh

[SuperSAINT]

If Fab is right, then I think we can count Spuds out of the Vestergaard race:

Every day but I doubt we could get near his wages..... or aspirations. Shame I rate him,gutsy player

[SuperSAINT]

Going to be interesting how Ralph answers questions on Ings when it comes to players on last year of their deal re: Vesty.

I suppose it's the same as it's always been - if you get an acceptable bid, then we look at it (take it!)

[Delmary]

Leicester now require cb cover after Wesley Fofana broke his leg in a pre-season friendly tonight.

From a sensible perspective its surely at a stage where you hope we can sell Vestergaard in this window as we should at least get our money back.

Fail to do so and its probably £5m or so in January or nothing next summer, with potentially a season of an unsettled player.

Get it sorted now and move on.

We've read about the talk of interest in him from all over, but nothing seems to of come out yet. (perhaps not surprising considering the Ings / Livramento stealth moves).

Pretty sure Spurs are out.  Roma possible.  Maybe Leicester now.  His performances at the Euro's must have garnered some interest.

[saintwbu]

He’s not good enough to let him go for free next year imo. If he isn’t going to sign, there’s good money in him for us I think, so get rid.

I have selected him in my Fantasy Football team, on the basis that he will be playing for Leicester.

[Harry_SFC]

I'd try and sell him now whilst we can. We'd then have £55-60 million in sales from the summer. You'd like to think we would re-invest most of that on at least 3 new players (Striker, CB & CM)

Let’s hope if this happens we get a repeat of Ings, VVD and Armstrong rather than Carillo, Hoedt and Lemina. 
 

I’m sure it’ll be the first 3!!!!

Don't forget we've already spent circa £15million on Perraud, Simeu and Livramento.

Indeed, just means the recruitment is going to have to be spot on. 

[SuperSAINT]

Leicester writer on the athletic says they will need a defender for sure but finances are tight.

Fofana not the only injury they have back there.  Evans hadn’t trained pre-season.

[tajjuk]

Has he even been really involved pre-season? Not seen him about (I know he came back late) but I get the impression Ralph seems to be planning without him.

He only started training after his holiday 3 days ago.

Evans is out for 2-3 months, they're looking at starting the season with either a young kid Nelson or NDidi apparently.

Obviously they're down Wes Morgan as well.

They're trying to get rid of him....not been the same last season supposedly. Dawson came in and nicked his place.

[Dan Johnson]

I'd cash in on Vestergaard personally.

He's been a good signing overall and for the first few months of last season he was exceptional, for £20m I would say he's replaceable though.

[SuperSAINT]

Could definitely see Moyes wanting a 6’6” centre-back.

Would imagine we’d get around £15m-18m for him.

[Dusic]

I assume this is why Ralph keeps saying about needing a CB.

If Vestergaard were to stay then numbers wise we have four plus Simeu which is fine.

I think they are factoring in that he will go - and thats the right decision as no point missing out on £15m+ and our other left sided CB Salisu wasn't signed to be a back up for his whole contract!

[Streaky]

Probably out of our price range but wouldn't say no to Kurt zouma. Wages and fee probably a problem though as we don't have a pot to piss in these days.

Chelsea's 2nd Xi would probably be a mid table prem finish. Their 3rd Xi would probably stand a good chance of staying up too. Crazy times.
