This just made me laugh. Sky Sports: Tottenham Hotspur have dropped out of the race to sign £65m star Like we were ever in the race to begin with. https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/sky-sports-tottenham-hotspur-dropped-105000036.html
Manor Solomon headed to Fiorentina - so that's one off the books! Frank said we need to get better at selling players... I saw a rumor that Davies is wanted by Nice. Would make sense to sell him rather than let him play out his contract. They better have a replacement lined up for him, though, as he is one of only 3 healthy fullbacks. Also he is a domestic player.
Well at least we won't have to listen to the Savinho to Spurs nonsense for the next 30 days. The geezer suffered a major injury at Sunderland last night - just the possibility of going to Spurs leads to injury.
This isn't going to satisfy anyone, but we are in for a Brazilian left back Souza, from Santos. 19 years old, so he could be the next Roberto Carlos... or the next Emerson Royal
What a joke, our recruitment team is beyond disgraceful. A kid who has 26 senior appearances for his club. Shocking. Johann Lange you ********ing muppet. Sign proven FFS.
Not sure buying proven shite is the way to go. At least buying young shite gives you a chance for improvement.
Supposedly he's agreed personal terms. Like it or not, this is the type of player we will be getting because no established star will come to Spurs. And I say fine, now go out and get 15-20 more. Let the manager (whoever that may be) figure out which are the best. So many holes in the squad right now it's ridiculous.
Reliable sources are saying Souza transfer is a done deal, medical coming soon. It's 4 transfer windows too late, but better late than never.
Better get used to it, Paratici is leaving for Fiorentina, so we're left with Lange who only seems interested in young players.
Romano is saying that we're hijacking Conor Gallagher's move to Villa. Atletico has verbally accepted Villa's 'loan plus buy option' offer, but we've upped it. Whether the player would choose us over Villa is another issue.
When you know football, you know football: From 2021, following our 3-0 loss at Palace (not much has changed since btw): The most glaring weakness for me is the lack of creativity in midfield. Gallagher ran the game for them, whereas our mids barely touched the ball and when they did, they just gave it away. We still haven't replaced Eriksen and Dembele. It shows how strong the Chelsea squad is if they can loan a player like Gallagher, who would walk into most PL Xis, including ours. 3 guesses as to who wrote that...(it wasn't Chickasaw).
I love Davies. That hardly means I rate him. Hell, I loved Ant Gardner. Edit: make that 'love', not 'loved'. Still do, obvs.
Gallagher transfer is official, on the team website. I hope Frank can set up the team to get the most out of him.
