Where would he play? We have Ndaiye for the left and he was never as good an ST as a LW imo.

His wages would be high and there's no way Spurs would let him leave for a low fee. Then obviously he seems perma crocked too.which makes it totally infeasible.

Love Richarlison but it wouldn't make any sense bringing him back, he either finds fitness at Spurs or goes to Saudi most likely.

I love Richarlison, I’d love him back, but fear it would end in tears, he’ll always be a hero, no point souring it second time around if he’s crocked all the time.
Possibly as a loan, but wouldn’t take it permanently.

Unless of course it was a Pienaar esc post Spurs renaissance! But you'd need a crystal ball to know that.

Maybe 20m and 80-100k a week. Assuming there's no problems with a medical

Welllllllll better than Ndiaye in his pomp but Ndiaye could eclipse him I think.

I’d love Ricky back, but absolutely has to be a loan with an option. His recent injuries are too much too spend the big bucks

The result of Newman and his team’s diligence was the signing of eight new players – a Club-record signing in Brazil attacking midfielder Lucas Paquetá, Italy internationals Gianluca Scamacca and Emerson Palmieri, Germany defender Thilo Kehrer, Algeria centre-back Nayef Aguerd, Ivory Coast winger Maxwel Cornet, promising midfielder Flynn Downes and a permanent deal for France goalkeeper Alphonse Areola.

Doesn't seem to have a great track record but I'll give him a chance here and hope the results are better than the list above!

Less than enthused about a lot of this to be quite honest.

If we spend money on soucek then see you in two years.

I wonder if this is for a head of recruitment role or DOF? Wonder if we're going to see a slight change in roles and duties?

I take it this isn't the guy Moyes fell out with at West Ham and banned from the training ground? Difficult to know who is responsible for which signing when roles aren't immediately clear, but that's not a great list at West Ham.

So that was Tim Steidten:

Looks like Rob Newman and others were moved on as part of the new manager/new direction West Ham went with last summer.

Time will tell I suppose.

Why do we constantly give managers the keys to the kingdom like this.

Really hope we see some semblance of a structure than can be here for years to come instead of knocking it down and building it back up every time we change manager.

They've lost me with this one tbh.

Good luck to them, hope they manage to eke some bits and bobs of good times out of it, but it's a shame we're going to miss the bus again.
