Rumours Gakpo agreed personal terms with Spurs.
14 Aug 2026 17:24:58
I hope not.
14 Aug 2026 17:31:42
Well this is the best place for rumours, Jerry
Thanks for the info.

Just an £80m (?) valuation to be met with the club then.

I don't have faith in Hughes to replace Gakpo
We've lost one of the best wingers the Premier League has ever seen on the other side, and he's completely abandoned the position altogether.

Well, we have plenty who can play on the left. Curious, I wonder if a Gakpo sale would be to facilitate a Rayan approach, separate to the Barcola pursuit?
I personally rate Gakpo, but it depends on if he wants to stay or not.
If he wants to stay, I think he should do. If he wants to leave and we got someone like Rayan in as a result, I would take that.
14 Aug 2026 18:29:03
So did we give Gakpo and Spurs permission for them to talk to each other?
14 Aug 2026 18:31:22
I'll start the car. ?

Gakpo is a very good player who suffered with a dip in form last season, but who didn't!
He has served us well, and his stats (yes I know!) are good over the period since his signing.
He can play more than one position, and I think he'll be a loss if he goes.
If he wants to go, then fair enough, but personally I'd keep him, and there are others I'd let go before him.
14 Aug 2026 18:36:30
You don't need permission to speak to his agents.
14 Aug 2026 18:43:18
Good news to drop the one trick pony from our squad. Makes room for more versatility.
14 Aug 2026 17:35:23
Interesting.
I've read the same, but only on the various clickbait sites via NewsNow (normally referencing X accounts).
If you have more concrete sources on this, Sailor, then great.

If Gakpo goes, we need a striker.
14 Aug 2026 19:48:15
Not knocking owners or anything, but they were always going to recoup money as well as spend. Always have. Last season Diaz, Nunez, Quansah and Doak. So Gakpo is the only one worth any big money, as McAlister is staying.
Jones, Endo etc ain't going to recoup much. If Pool get Barcola, they were never going to keep him. I'd keep him. When will we ever have a great bench? Buy and sell, you're always going to struggle with a bench.

Joost Blaauwhof, who's a reliable Dutch journalist, has said that Gapko has, in general, agreed to the move. Not seeing a fee mentioned yet.
14 Aug 2026 19:52:05
No, I'm not an ITK, just passing on what the rumours seem to be, a lot of the talk seems to be from Dutch sources.
14 Aug 2026 19:57:58
Great player, never felt he quite suited us though. If the rumour is true, best of luck to the lad and thanks for the last few years. Ynwa.
14 Aug 2026 19:58:47
If Gakpo wants to get to London before deadline day, he will have to set off now, considering he can only turn right.
14 Aug 2026 20:50:54
Thanks for coming back, Vic, if nothing else to show the Djimi T how it's done.
Big respect from Ireland.
