As the transfer window gets closer, it is normal for rumours to be flying around regarding the transfer of players.
Some may turn out to be true while others will not, and it’s the same thing with Tottenham.
Jose Mourinho is expected to make some alterations to his team when the transfer window reopens and the “Special one” might also be selling some of his players.
One player who has recently been linked with a move away from Tottenham this summer is Ryan Sessegnon.
The teenager only joined the Lilywhites last summer from Fulham after a long pursuit for his signature.
However, he has struggled to hold down a regular place at the moment just as he did while he was at Fulham.
Several teams have been linked with a move for him with Barcelona (Football365), the team with the strongest interest in his signature.
The Catalans are eyeing a move for the teenager, and a swap deal has even been considered as well.
However, Star Sports reports that Spurs will not be selling the teenager for any reason this summer.
The club sees him as a major part of their future and he will be staying put despite all the rumours linking him with a move away.
This does make sense, simply because there is absolutely no guarantee that we will be able to buy a better replacement for the money we would raise from his sale. Why take that risk?
Just reading Barcelona want Sessegnon,they must have a different opinion of him than yourself. The information you want is still available about Grealish,Villa never excepted any offer from Spurs they wanted £25m and were in financial difficulty,Levy did try to take advantage of this with the offer of £6m plus Onomah which they declined.Later in the week they were taken over and didn’t have to sell. If your theory on a prospect in the championship not being worth £25m,take a look at how much it will now cost to buy Grealish.
Are you talking about Grealish for £6m? Levy agreed £6m with Villa then broke his own deal by trying to buy him for just £4m. Villa rightly told Levy to0 F off.
As for Sess def not worth the money, nowhere near ready for the PL, whether £30m or £25m plus Onomah. You don’t pay that sort of money for a prospect. We could have bought a complete player for that money.
As for Dembele Levy agreed a £6m deal with Fulham with the player starting the next season. Levy then pulled out based on some weird fitness problem. Dembele went on to become a top class striker and how much is he worth now?
Levy is a fool.
I rate Nathan F. He should be snapped up immediately. He can play.
KWP 7 mil? Not on your Nelly.
Villa have scored 3 goals in their last 9 games, they haven’t won in 13 games. Yet despite this Grealish is brilliant at defence splitting passes?
He’s older than Dele too!
Grealish is just a shit Jack Wiltshire
Grealish is 8/10 every match I would swap him for either of those two in a heartbeat 💯 per cent.Every team playing Villa this season including ourselves try to stop the supply getting to Grealish because he controls the game with his pin point defence splitting passes,he is the type of player we had a few years ago in Eriksen,but is not afraid to tackle as well.
Only N’Dombele went for a fee anywhere near your valuation on Grealish. N’Jie and Nkoudou were both sub £10m. Aurier and Moura both had CL experience and were £25m.
Put it this way – would you be happy to replace Dele or Lo Celso with Grealish?
I’d do it now. There is nothing to lose. The crowd are not there to add pressure and their performances can’t be as dour as what has been on show.
It was mainly injury that kept him out of the side with Poch, who was also beginning to fall out of love with Spurs.
We have been following N.Ferguson the young RB at Wba and he has refused to sign a contract with them.Spurs would only have to pay £4-£5m compensation to West Brom.He could be back up with Castagne the Belgium international as first choice,he would cost £14-£15m
With premier league experience?,or another from the dreaded French league were we got Ndombele,Aurier,Moura,NJie, N’koudou.Top English talent has a price.
Levy didn’t turn down £6m ,he bid it along with Onomah valued at £5m.Spurs paid £25m for Sessegnon plus Onomah who was a trainee.
You could get far, far better than Grealish for £50m in today’s climate
Well I hope you’re right but to me he looks nothing special at all, I think all his achievements were in a lower league. Normally for a lower league prospect you’d expect more the level of £5 mill for Alli or the £6 mill for Grealish that dumbass Levy turned down, or the £6 mill for Moussa Dembele at Fulham that Levy agreed before backing out. For the life of me I don’t see anything near a whopping £30 mill for Sess when he’s in the same bracket only as the above mentioned prospects.
Poch didn’t fancy the lad either, he’s miles off being a decent player.
Tanganga is right footed so can maybe do a job at RB – he tried had at LB but can’t cross with his left foot.. Sessegnon could become a LB potentially. Not sure who Ferguson is?
That’s the strength the top clubs have in a squad,two top players for every position £50m would be a bargain
Share time with Bruno lolz. £50m you say?
Which is why Wan-Bissaka went for nearly double what we paid for Sessegnon.
Market value.
Poch wanted to turn him into an attacking wing back which is where his strengths lie. He’s a talent but Maureen is almost certainly the wrong manager.
Money won’t be the problem at Utd,he can share game time with Bruno,plenty of games and possible CL.
If Kane was say sold for £120m? Give me two £60m strikers any day either to play together or to fight for the shirt,something Harry doesn’t have to do.
United? Can’t see they’d be that interested given the players they already have – especially at £50m.
Grealish will end up at West Ham or Everton for £20m
Tanganga,Davies and Sessegnon to cover left back,Castagne and Ferguson combined £20m to cover right back
Rose£5mFoyth£10mKwp£7mAurier£15mMoura£20mN’dombele£45m total £102m
Are you being serious? Comparing Wan Bissaka with Sess? The former was an established player at a PL club who had impressed for quite some time, so he was the finished product, and even an England prospect, whereas Sess had managed one poor season at a recently promoted club (and relegated) where he’d been pretty poor. He’s only looked a prospect in the Championship. You don’t pay 30 mill for a reasonable C-ship player who flopped in the PL and is going to have to go out on loan, likely back to the C-ship, is just plain mental. We could have spent that money on a decent back-up striker rather than gamble on a player who might not be good enough for the top league. Plain crazy waste of funds.
Having said all that I sincerely hope you’re right and he does turn out to be another Wan Bassaka, I just don’t think it’s very likely and we’re going to rue that 30 mill when you consider what else we need right now. The only reason Levy bought him was in the hope he might make a profit on him in the future. Levy needs to think about the now as his team is rapidly going down the plug hole.
I think there’s a chance he’ll request a transfer this summer. His form suggests even his England place is not certain.
Yes, sadly his stock is very high now and our window of opportunity has long since passed.
But what is the replacement cost and not the same quality but better, because that three weren’t good enough to win anything, I know that sounds harsh.
He’s going to United, we can’t afford him.
I think with David Silva leaving City,Pep will use Fodan and one other possibly Grealish ,if they bid £40-£50m. He won’t go cheap.
At the moment by my reckoning we need:
2 x FB
1 x DM
1x CF
£100m+
so… how are we going to pay for that?
If we sell Aurier we’ll need 3 FB. (This is my preference)
We’ve got too many attacking midfielders.so sales there have to be the way to generate cash.
Son would generate the most cash, then Ndombélé, Alli and Moura.
Couldn’t agree more. The fact he’s got that premiership season with Villa out of his system would only work to our benefit.
Exactly the player needed,would get an England call up if he played for Spurs,and he knows it.
Kane,Son & Dele combined only cost £27m huge profit if Spurs decided to sell them. Losing £10m on Moura or Aurier wouldn’t be a problem.
Do you have the inside track on what our Grealish bid was?
Villa are on their way down – looking at a gaping hole in their budget, not sure they’ll get much over £25m for him.
Personally I don’t see the value in Grealish other than being English, he’s a budget Dele.
Ryan Sessegnon is only 20 has scored 25 goals for Fulham won player of the championship and cost £25m,you will see a lot more of him in the future,great kid gives Spurs no problems at all.
This is the irony about the last 5 years. We didn’t sell anyone decent, didn’t do a Berbatov/Carrick/Modric/Bale but ultimately left with players whose value’s dropped incredibly. Kane won’t be sold but I guess Son is our next most valuable player, but for how much £60m? Alli? N’Domblele? I doubt we’d even recoup the £25m on Aurier or Moura. Maybe we’ll get lucky and find a buyer and then pick up some decent bargains but I doubt it.
Fate conspired against Grealish to Spurs seeing as the lad’s Villa born and bred and would’ve done anything to stay. Levy didn’t help matters, much in the same way we missed the boat on snagging James Maddison from Norwich. As you say a respectable offer probably would’ve got a deal over the line quickly, but Grealish would’ve been devastated if he’d left Villa before the money rolled in.
Harry Redknapp’s come out saying we should go back in for Grealish this summer. It’ll never happen but I’d love him at Spurs. Flair player.
You’ve got to think that if a bit of £50m+ came in we’d accept it for a bloke that has played 12 games for us. That said you’d have to factor in any sell on % owed to Fulham to work out if we’d make the necessary profit. Tonight’s game is last chance saloon – if we lose we might as well start playing Skipp, Sessegnon and Cirkin to give them some valuable experience.
I can’t wait for season end to see which players leave but I’m sure income from them will be pitiful
He’s a talented player, he just needs proper coaching and games. The Grealish deal went pear shaped because the offer to Villa was insulting, £6 million and Josh Onomah. Villa looked to be in financial trouble and Levy thought he could take advantage with a low ball offer. Unfortunately Villa then got new owners and money put in and were so upset with the negotiations they decided to make a stand by refusing to sell Grealish. A quick offer of twenty million might have got him. Now you’d be lucky to get him for fifty million minimum. Penny wise and pound foolish. It’s also not clear whether Grealish wanted to move at that time. I rate him as a player and thought he had matured but his carry on during lock down was very poor. I also thought he was nailed on to play for England but Gareth Southgate doesn’t tolerate that sort of behaviour.
Sessegnon was more than just a punt and made perfect sense the way Poch set the side up. £25/30 mil was pretty much market price for young English talent when you consider Man U paid £50 mil for Wan-Bissaka – who we should’ve fought tooth and nail for.
30 mill for this lad was crazy – you don’t pay that sort of money for a player who MIGHT be good in the future, Levy is supposed to be shrewd but Fulham robbed him. Yet Levy refused to buy Grealish for just 6 mill. The man is looney tunes.
