Sources close to the club tell the Harry Hotspur blog that behind the scenes, Tottenham are very much still looking for ways to bolster José Mourinho’s depleted first team squad. A particularly favoured idea is to move on Juan Foyth.
Under Mauricio Pochettino, it was mooted that Foyth was being groomed to play in a right-sided wing back role – as he does for Argentina – to ease the frustrations that came with Serge Aurier.
However, this never really happened.
Foyth’s departure has so far been hindered as Tottenham have been looking for a clean sale, whereas early responses from the market have only responded favourably to the possibility of a loan deal.
This, combined with the ongoing business of trying to “re-home” Christian Eriksen before his value completely evaporates, isn’t making life any easier during this traditionally difficult window.
Recently, Claudio Curti the boy’s agent revealed to Interdipendenza that there was a possibility of the 22-year-old making a move, and that he was waiting to get “clarity” from Spurs.
😆 van dik and coutinho went for around those prices, so levy came out with that with his gold tinted glasses.. Both the scouse players are younger and better players.
I would have thought he’ll wait until Poch lands his new job.
Ditto. For £25 million there isn’t a club in the World that wouldn’t cash in.
Yet more fake news from Levy and his henchmen…
Jack Clark’s been loaned to QPR …. another player likely to never wear the shirt.
Our transfer policy really is a joke.
Scratch that – an Argentinian ‘Unlucky Alf’. “Ooooh B*gger it”
We’re not debating his value as a human being here Sid. Seems like a nice boy indeed. But has become the outfield equivalent of Ian ‘divot’ Walker. A surprisingly unlucky calamity mere moments away. A sh*t Kinder Egg if you will
Agree. **** him off out of it, if he was any good he wouldn’t be making minimum one rick per match. Argentian Ramon Vega
Thinks, then remembers Paulinho.
We don’t see the players in training, but the only way to fairly judge a player is with an extended run, you would think a player that can hold his own at international level could win a place in a side as dysfunctional as Spurs, we’re obviously missing something.
He was mugged twice trying to play in the centre of the park at Norwich, leading to him being subbed at HT. Would be a surprise to see him featuring as a DM under mourinho.
I remain unconvinced that there ever was a release clause. It was never confirmed and Levy doesn’t do release clauses.
I hate ,hate! Levy and enic ………………. that’s it …. thanks
We don’t like to knock any player who shows commitment but Foyth hasn’t shown that he is good enough to play in any position and either we cash in or send him on loan. He is too slow footed and would not be a midfielder anytime soon either.
In the summer Alderweirld was valued at £25m due to a clause and still nobody apart from Roma showed any interest.
That’s Levy world for you. In the summer , he valued Toby at £75 mill and Eriksen at £150 mill. Now, he’ll be lucky to get£10 mill for Eriksen. There’s nothing like a bit of schadenfreude at Levy’s expense to cheer one up.
Ironic we want our sales to be cash on the barrel head, but our “buys” are rentals.
In my view , he is not a Center back but a defensive midfielder . He is actually going to be much better than Eric Dier in that role if given a chance , as technically he is better, faster and defensively sounder . Yes the odd error here and there because he like to play a bit but that’s not a bad thing with real center backs behind him .
I also think he has potential. I doubt we would get as much as we paid for him and I don’t understand why he has to be moved on before we buy reinforcements, he’s hardly a priority and we have a small enough squad as it is. Levy has reportedly valued Kyle Walker-Peters at £12 mill which is why he hasn’t moved yet. It is still the same nonsense from Levy. We have to sell before we buy, pray tell me why? Meanwhile Liverpool are rumoured to be buying Kai Havertz for £100 mill. The gulf continues to grow wider as we stand still and the top clubs strengthen. ENIC OUT!
I think the boy has promise, he just doesn’t play so he’ll never develop. A loan may do him good poor lamb….but then you see the way Japhet exploded into the 1st team, maybe he just hasn’t grabbed his opportunities well enough. A loan would certainly help expose the real Juan.
Has potential but too error ridden for me. Cash in! Let’s continue to rebuild this tired squad.
Shame as he has potential- I liked him despite his errors
