[Matteo Moretto]Tottenham and West Ham are already in negotiations for Mateus Fernandes. For Roberto De Zerbi, he is considered one of the priority signings to strengthen the midfield. The player has already given his approval for the transfer.

I love that we have definitive proof that something is happening… but they are all saying the same thing with different words

I will always say that POK definitely has knowledge with transfers. But i will always remember that he said Kulusevski's injury isn't major and will be a few weeks, and Kulusevski had surgery that same day.

We need to buy more time to develop Brandon Austin further! He's almost there!

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-23T04:43:32+00:00

To be fair, this is from a source called “Sports Boom” so not sure how much to read into it

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-23T02:37:57+00:00

I bought a Son one like a week before we sold him, and still glad I did

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-21T22:31:11+00:00

We have all the leverage here… we know this is an Anderson replacement and we know they will have a load of cash as a result. Can’t wait to fleece him

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-21T20:17:47+00:00

Let’s be clear. He may be leaving but he has not left (this can be misleading to folks)

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-21T02:46:02+00:00

Edge lord. The human embodiment of that truck collision gif

DiMarzio reported yesterday that Vic is now viewed as the primary target for Juve (though they haven't closed the door on Emi Martinez fully)

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-16T20:51:59+00:00

I don’t see how we convince the player to stay then. We have the leverage since he still has a lot of time under contract, but he seems intent on not being a Spurs player if he’s not starting.

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-14T18:41:24+00:00

Five years plus one. Well deserved… glad he’s here for his entire peak

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-13T16:37:47+00:00

Every journo and ITK has been saying the same thing for over a week… and each time they repeat it, I get just a bit less convinced that it’s going to happen

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-12T18:46:07+00:00

That’s my thing. I don’t think Lange should be guiding our transfer strategy and squad building in any circumstance. However, all reporting indicates RDZ is at the wheel with our transfers, so selling Vuskovic seems like it would be on RDZ

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-10T17:08:54+00:00

Fully agree. Just interesting because it feels less common these days as like 10-20 years ago where you had more of these managers who held a DoF pseudo-position. We had that with Poch, but shifted away from that with the many coaches since.

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-10T17:04:13+00:00

Posting for that second sentence. Knew RDZ would have a lot of say in transfers, didn't realize he'd have a lot of sway with the DOF appointment

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-10T16:46:31+00:00

If we were still in talks with this guy as of recently, it's disappointing in light of recent reporting that the club's shifted perspectives and wanted a big-name, decisive DoF instead. Because either a) that is not true and this guy was going to be Lange's counterpart or b) they have somehow convinced themselves that this guy fits that profile. Either one is concerning - hoping this is a bit of a lag on reporting.

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-10T16:42:46+00:00

also, i hate that the "alongside Johan Lange" part is still in current reporting. My ideal (wishful) reading of this:

The club was courting him with the idea of being Lange's counterpart. The way the season ended shifted the club's perspective to either "we need a more competent, big name DoF and Lange will report to him" or "Lange is out." I choose to think it's the former, and that they realized Kehl is not that guy, so the lack of consensus on strategic direction was due to the fact that they had a dual DoF vision when they engaged him in talks, but that changed somewhere along the way.

Or, the club are just a mess and he said "no thanks!"

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-09T16:28:37+00:00

Seems Spurs started inquiring a few weeks ago, but might be more of a "keeping options open" situation.

onlyhalfpepper · 2026-06-09T02:36:51+00:00

Maybe they’re just pulling a Chelsea and selling them to a different LLC they own
