⚽️ Sofyan Amrabat isn’t a regular starter for Fiorentina, in fact, this season he’s no ZERO starts for the Serie A side. His longest run out this season was 56-minutes against Venezia on 18.10.2021
⚽️ The 25-year-old is a defensive midfielder, which begs the question of why he is of interest to Tottenham. We already have Oliver Skipp, Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg, and Harry Winks, none of whom are noted for their creative flair. The players with uncertain futures are Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele, and Giovani Lo Celso, all of whom are creatives.
⚽️ With a widely reported value of €15million, it must surely be a concern that the Morocco international’s value has drifted, since joining Fiorentina for £18 million from Club Bruges after a loan spell at Hellas Verona.
⚽️ This season, for Fiorentina, Sofyan has no goal, no assists, as well as zero successful crosses.
Having looked carefully through his numbers using the professional scouting tool, Wyscout [€], it remains a mystery to me as to why he would be of interest to Spurs, or indeed anyone else.
Fair point.
I’m loving the gallows humour.
Nutjob…
He’s got 2 camels feet..
There are only 2 scenarios..Levy is financial genius and in the world of Hawks we fans are all being laughed at while Levy de- constructs a football team acquires an entertainment’s facility paying back creditors X amount in the pound. He is getting the projected profits from the failed ESL out of the club one way or another..
or
Levy is an egomaniacal deluded fantasist control freak who knows that nowhere else can he be more than one person at a time. Even if we can get the c-nt sacked he will be back swinging about in a cradle cleaning the fakin windows…
The difference between a leech and a mad leech is that a mad leech ends up with no blood to suck..
.
Contes mastery will only be truly tested when he brings in a couple of street homeless youngsters and turns then into the creative midfielders that lurk in all such unfortunate folk, Levy has known this for years, he has just been waiting for the right coach to complete his plan
Think he might be knackered ..he has had Tanganga behind him at least twice..not to mention the others..
He’ll have to compete with Salah, Mane, Jota and Firminho (also Minamino now) to get game time at Pool. He’d walk straight into the Spurs side. Lets hope he takes that onboard.
Looks like Diaz would rather wait for Liverpool, and looking at the way we’ve been run over the master few years, can you blame him?
Maybe that is the plan and why he wants two,
Maybe he wants two Hojbjergs with a more creative forward or number 10 in front of them?
Either that or he doesn’t rate Skippy or PEH as highly as others might think. I love PEH’s energy and commitment and certainly a very solid character and player to have.
However, I feel he’s being slightly overrated by our fans because we just don’t have anyone else who’ll do that job. He reminds me of Michael Brown a bit, a better version but not the complete player in that position.
Having said all that, there seems to be more pressing issues with the team than the need for a defensive midfielder. However, if Conte would like him then in Conte I trust…
100%
Another nice cheap punt innit, it’s Levy Time again! 😂
All they’ve done is replace Pardew, Curbishley and Allardyce. We’ve always had a Merry go round of managers. You can include Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes, Neil Warnock & Redknap on that list too.
All stale in their ideas and philosophy of how the modern game is played hence why they rarely last long in a job and in a number of cases end up getting clubs relegated.
I genuinely didn’t think it would get worse than the 18 months of no transfers with levys self imposed im a twit ban but at least then he told us the truth
sod you your not getting anyone I can
take that!!
accept it!!
deal with it!!
but no now it’s the ooo a shiny penny whilst he robs the pounds out of every fans back pocket.
and thats the thing,
that’s the god damn kicker or punchline for this sick joke
he just puts it back in the pawn shop for some other rich club to walk in and buy them. then he has the gall to claim he has spurs interests at heart and that somehow just living within your means is better than trying to increase your means and be something.
man has the ambition and general capability of an ameoba
I just want to be able to stand up say I support Tottenham with pride without this bitter anger burning inside because I know what I have loved for 29 odd years isn’t technically existing anymore it is just a souless entity which has a vampire hanging off its neck
ok I’m done

Let’s see:
Yeah, that’s an ENIC transfer window if there ever was one.
No Show has been really getting on my nerves lately, always posting some thing or other on social media whenever he’s away with Argentina.
Never fit or outright useless for his club at 70K/week, but turns it on in internationals. Sickening.
‘Dele Alli, Tanguy Ndombele, and Giovani Lo Celso, all of whom are creatives.’ Maybe consistently in the kitchen but not on the green grass.
They are bad eggs. They are not team players. Get rid.
Is that another new strain?
I see we’ve missed out on Roy Hodgson for when Conte leaves. This money making merry go round for managers is truly sickening. Ranieri & Hodgson back on the treadmill.
Come on now. Think about it. Why might Spurs want another Hojbjerg?
Is Hojbjerg moving on? He’s caught Deleitis recently hasn’t he?
Ask yourselves this- at which position on the pitch are players cheapest? Fullbacks and defensive mids. Conte doesn’t play FBs, hence the interest in defensive mids.
Mobile phone towers are quite creative though.
So the media now saying that we have to sell before we can buy. Once again the stench of ENIC and Levy is all over this transfer window. No investment just a rotation of monies from sales for purchases. Now as the value of our players is dropping faster than a hookers nickers one can assume those monies are diminishing rapidly which is why Levy is looking at Moroccan non entities. Goodbye Antonio, It was nice whilst it lasted.You need to have a word with Harry about how good Levy’s promises are, Are we to endure another stint with Mason at the helm? If so that’s me done with THFC until ENIC and Levy have departed. This club is finished until that happens.
Does seem a bit bizarre. But many sources are saying Conte wants him. It”ll end up with Kane playing in the no.10 role.
Just a thought; is the plan to rotate PEH more? He is indispensable.
Daniel Levy must look at some of these players like the exec in the old Kit Kat ad – “You can’t sing. You can’t play. You look awful. You’ll go a long way”
Being a cheap squad player that fits Levy’s criteria is about the only reason I can think of why he’s considered.
He’s basically Hojbjerg. What’s the point in having two f*cking Hojbjergs without any creativity in front of them?? We need a Modric, an Erikson, a Hoddle. Best player I’ve seen wear the shirt. Unfortunately our most creative player is also our only centre forward, and all I see is us linked with is wingers and defensive midfielders ffs 😡
The same as he always undervalues his potential targets (such as Diaz for example), but always drastically overvalues the deadwood he is trying to sell.
I’ve read and heard that Conte wants this guy in? All I can think of is the plan is to have a bank of DM’s in front of 3 CB’s to stop conceding goals, and then have the wing backs (proper ones that are offensive as opposed to Royal) providing the offensive moves for the front players, perhaps with the assistance of DM’s trained to play forward passes.
Because if Conte wants Dele, N’Dombele and Lo Celso out that basically means we haven’t a got a dedicated AM. We’re going to have to play with a false AM!
Maybe the idea is to quit conceding goals entirely? Then rely on our undoubted forward talent, with the support of the WB’s, to get goals? Does seem a bit unusual though. Maybe he sees Winks as an AM in the making? Maybe the world is flat, who knows…
I can see some sense in it, IF, we get him on loan for the rest of the season. Ndombele & Dele are not playing at all so another “body” would be handy. That’s the only positive i can see from this potential transfer.
I feel like i write this at the end of every transfer. Mainly because i do.
We leave it late and ultimately fail because it’s too late for the selling club to find a replacement. We either fail to sign the player or burn yet another bridge with another club.
I’d be interested to see the stats but how many clubs that do business with Levy actually go on to do further business in the future?
Southampton maybe…but they are a selling club.
Funny how Levy wants to bring in players on loan first but flat out refuses it when others wanna get our players on loan to see if it will be worth forking out the money wanted to buy
no goal, no assists, as well as zero successful crosses???
Why havent we signed him yet? 😀
Yep it sounds like Levy the control freak to me as well.
Nobody is going to buy N’Dombele outright after the last few years at Spurs, they obviously want him to see him play first. Commonsense. Levy always bites off the hand that feeds him.
Can’t see any benefit in this one happening. Hopefully, it’s just newspaper/agent come-and-get-me talk and it will come to nothing.
Luis Diaz, on the other hand, would be a definite upgrade. Fingers crossed they can get a deal for him over the line.
I’ve read reports that Conte and Paratici are happy for Ndombele to leave on loan to PSG for 6 months, and that PSG are willing to cover his full wages with an option to buy.
But Levy has to sign off on the deal, and he won’t because he wants Ndombele to be sold.
Like you said so much for leaving the footballing side to his DOF and manager like he said he would.
Now I don’t know how much truth is in it. But certainly sounds true.
Yeah but it sounds like swapping Doherty and Winks for Traore and this guy. Turd shuffling.
It’s a player that we haven’t even heard that Conte will turn him in the messiah, at least traore has that going for him
Are we seriously serious about this guy or is it April 1st already?
This smacks of Levy, it has his DNA all over it. So much for taking a backward step and letting Paratici deal with footballing matters. Another lie to add to the long list.
No no no no no.
The one area we are actually covered .
Only in levy land….
5 goals in 188 games. He’s the Moroccan Harry Winks.
There are just bargain bucket transfers which has been ENIC philosophy since buying the club, it’s only at the end of the window all these stories emerge about the club making huge bids for players knowing full well the deals won’t happen as it has been left too late.
We will never evolve as a football club under this stewardship. The only way for change is not renew season tickets, boycott games and force the owners out.
It will never happen as for the diehard fans, THFC is their life and will continue to throw their hard earned cash to our greedy owners.
I’ve stopped going to the games for two seasons now, cancelled my membership (25 years) even after I did this the ticket office phoned me up offering me a season ticket!!
Don’t think I will return until the board invest heavily on the pitch.
Think they’re more chance of Watford keeping a manager for a season and a half
He’s of interest to one man and one man only, Danny Levy because he’s cheap and he’s a punt. If interest is genuine, watch how quickly this one gets done.
Another Gedson Fernandes, Jack Clark clone.
But then again who knows, spin the wheel and find out. Join the Tottenham “Magical Mystery Tour”.
Completely spurious story, emanating from the Enic spin machine, better known as Donna Cullen’s knickers. It’s just another diversionary tactic to keep the fans guessing.
He’s not stood out in any capacity, I just wonder if this is a diversionary tactic away from the real target, Levy has done it before.
If we buy this player, it has been proven several times that Paratici is a disaster for the club. This player is no more creative than Wink, Davis, Sanchez or a telephone pole.
If Conte wants him then get him, problem is we don’t know if he does or who to believe as it’s all wrapped up in a web of lies and NDAs thanks to our beloved overlords ENIC.
He’s played 200 odd minutes it total, no thanks.
