Tuesday Spurs Chat and Tottenham Transfer Talk

| Looking Likely Traoré is Spurs Bound |
Morning folks and welcome to our little Spurs chat and Tottenham transfer talk over your cup of tea, yes very British, none of this coffee nonsense here.
There is now ITK out there that says we are using the rest of this season to learn the system and the players roles within it!
We are not buying anyone in January to try and win something this season, if we do great, but our best chance, the UEFA Europa Conference League has been taken away from us.
Building means building for the future and that starts next season so we will look to bring in the players who can improve the squad for next season and more players in the summer.
Daniel Levy, Fabio Paratici know that half the first team need replacing and those in those positions will need to fight for their place.
I have long told you that Davinson Sánchez is a liability, his positioning is poor, his passing is poor and he panics, making far too many mistakes. He falls over too often which tells you he can't move his feet quick enough and has poor feet positioning.
It is these little things that most fans don't consider that make the difference.
We have right-footed centre-backs so he can leave and we will look to bring in a left-footed centre-back.
I have discussed the importance of a left-footed centre-back before and mentioned it again in my last post so won't go over that all again.
An attacking-midfielder is NOT a priority, there are other areas of the team that Conte wants to address first, such as centre-back and right wing-back.
Our delivery from out wide simply isn't good enough, improve that and we will increase our attacking threat and score more goals.
Fabio Paratici is trying to shift some of our players to be able to bring in others, not financially but simply to create holes in the squad and non-homegrown places (Premier League and Europe).
The press are mis-reporting press conferences and placing their agenda interpretations on what Antonio Conte says.
He is quite happy, he knows the situation and what Tottenham, through Paratici are willing to do.
He doesn't have to meet to tell the club his incoming transfer plans as the club already know, agreed with him and put Paratici to work on it as soon as he arrived.
Goldilocks telling you that there will be less money available in January is bullshit, both Conte and the club know what we are trying to achieve and there is a long term plan in place over more than one window at a time.
We have the remainder of this season to develop and then pre-season to be ready for next season.
That is how managers, football directors and chairmen operate.
That is how you plan, it IS NOT change things for now, the way fans think.
Then because the club isn't operating to the individual fans agenda, then those fans incorrectly moan and groan.
The only objective the club should be assessed against is the club objective.
Any multi-million business CEO can tell you that short term problems may arise while you work towards long-term objectives.
Take our striker situation.
We are signing Dušan Vlahović in the summer, he has told us he is signing and that he wants to work with Antonio Conte, as he has seen how he improved Romelu Lukaku.
All this paper talk is absolute nonsense.
Paratici has two signing lined up for the summer already.
That makes signing a striker this window difficult as really we can only offer anyone a 6-month loan deal.
Clubs are asking us for loan deals for players, but we want outright sales and the same happens the other way around too.
Clubs want sales where we want a 6-month loan deal for a striker.
It is why we are struggling to offload Ndombelé, clubs want to take him on loan, but we want shot of him for good.
When we are looking to sell a player like Ndombelé, we are not trying to get the £54m odd we paid form him, except clauses in his transfer deal will not be activated thus he will have actually cost us less.
Players are amortized, meaning their coat (transfer fee and wages) are calculated as an annual cost for the accounts.
Thus we calculate how much he will cost for the remainder of his contract and ask that much for him, perhaps plus a little bit of profit.
I have made rough calculations from July 1st, any earlier and wages would need to be added(£4.8m) .
His wages (£200,000-a-week) x 2 years (104 weeks) = £31.2m
Three fifths of his transfer fee is approximately £11m
£31.2m + £11m = £42.2m
Thus the fee we would look for for Tanguy would be approximately £42.5m minimum.
To loan him out means the other team would need to cover our annual cost on him, so £42.5m divided by 3 = £14.07m.
If he were loaned out in January just for the remainder of the season there would be his wages to cover at £4.8m and £5.5m transfer fee, so he would cost someone £10.3m.
Who is going to spend £10.3m on a player for 6 months when there are no games in June and half of January is already gone, so you're actually only getting 4.5 months of football for your money?
Anyway, I'll leave you for now with the news that Adama Traoré has told Wolves that he wants to move to Spurs.
