Tottenham are still a massive attraction to players but only on one condition it seems

By Bruce Grove -

Watching Amazon’s All or nothing and reading multiple media pieces it is clear that Tottenham remains a huge attraction to players.

Jose Mourinho still has that pull with players, on the All or Nothing series we heard a good few times players talking about playing under Mourinho including the very disgruntled Danny Rose.

The stadium is epic and so are the training facilities and the squad as a whole, when it plays to its true ability is a top-four side at a minimum. Remember just over a year ago Spurs was Champion League finalists.

However, we constantly read that some players, Arkadiusz Milik for example, will not sign for Tottenham to be just a back up to Harry Kane and therein lies the problem with Tottenham attracting new acquisitions.

The squad is full of talented players, well, for the most part, and no incoming player can be guaranteed first-team football and that is what players want these days.

They will have no doubt seen what has happened to Tanguy Ndombele and will possibly be thinking to themselves that if the club’s record signing cannot get a first-team spot what chance has anyone else.

Look at the recent new signings apart from Ndomebele, Ryan Sessegnon, Steven Bergwijn, Giovani Lo Celso, none of them is assured of a starting berth.

Matt Doherty and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg have just signed but I think we all know that even they are not certain starters, it would be no surprise to see either of them dropped for the game against Southampton.

Tottenham does remain a huge attraction for players but they want to play football and the structure of the team right now simply does not guarantee that and therefore it should not be a big surprise that the club is struggling to land some of their targets.

Can’t Alex Morgan fill in for Kane if he gets injured?

Kane and Bale are both excellent golfers – both 4 handicappers I think. They landscaped a putting green at the training ground recently. Someone’s ahead of the game here…

Bale and Regulilon eh? That would be some double swoop. Come on Levy, make this happen. Can’t you see we’re desperate?!

IMO failing to secure a creative midfielder will be a massive disappointment!

People have to remember today’s game is about the squad.Unless you are bringing in top quality then there is no guarantee of starting for anybody.
If the required quality had been brought in previously we would not have had the situation with Kane running himself into the ground because no backup existed and as a consequence being out injured for several months.

Quote from Barnett started on BBC Wales but has now been picked up by Sky Sports. Nothing confirming this is a done deal. Just that they’re talking.

Clever move by Jonathan Barnett. Putting the ball in Levy’s court during negotiations by stating that Bale wants the move. Not that it will matter. The numbers will work for Levy or they wont. You’re not dealing with someone who will be swayed by public opinion. You’re dealing with the devil.

I would be sure Davies will stay as back up.Still waiting on confirmation that signing has been completed.

Nice one. I’d still keep Ben Davies, a solid utility squad player perversely looking more comfortable as an emergency centre half than he does as full back!!

Some talk that Dele might be swapped for Bale on 5Live, no evidence just speculation.

You can say that again, dangerous attacker and can defend. Just had a brilliant season for Sevilla.

Whilst I have never heard of this new kid presumably it’s fair to say he is an upgrade on Ben Davies?!!

Being linked, sorry for using Bruce’s favourite word with another offer for Torino’s striker. Now we’re sucking diesel as they say.

Reports that Reguilon is close to signing a five year deal at Spurs for £30m euros,but Madrid are including a buy back clause at £35m -£40m euros that they can recall him within a two year period. Bales agent has declared that he is trying to take him back to Spurs saying it’s were he wants to be.
