We need another Arab Spring
Never had you down as a Yank, but ‘diapers’ and ‘favor’ give you away.
Problem with that is all clubs could just offer 25m.Equally, if he is that much in demand, then we can let him sweat it out on his measly £50k a week (being cunty hasn’t done Rose too many favours), improve the contacts of those around him, & wait for a bidding war. The £25 million is just the release clause. IF...he is still so much in demand after Poch has broken him.
Not really. ...regulars know that I only go to Malta to see my mum, which unfortunately means that I have to get on a plane to do so. Not a holiday, spend all my time sorting out her problems with tradesmen, medical appointments and anything else that crops up. Believe me, I wish she lived over here. Nice to be in my own bed tonight.
I'm now so bored with all this that I have turned over February of my Spurs calendar already... February being Toby and March is Jan Jan Super Jan. And on that note, good night to all those of you still up.
If we sell him I'm pretty sure we'll bring in another defender. Maybe Gimenez from Atletico? Contract is up in the summer I think, fairly young as wellI guess we can say goodbye to 5-3-2. We have better attackers now anyway
I think Poch has always believed in a 4231. Last season, having Walker and Rose flying, lamela injured and son inconsistent made him change it. Im sure he'll still drop dier or wanyama back there when needed, but with the attacking players we have: having 3 CBs on the pitch seems like a wasteIf we sell him I'm pretty sure we'll bring in another defender. Maybe Gimenez from Atletico? Contract is up in the summer I think, fairly young as well
Struggling to understand how this guy has gone from our clear best defender, up there with Ledley, to being injured, having some Twitter gossip about his contract situation and it’s now all “he’s old, injury prone and not much better than the other guys, get him sold”.
And a lot of “he should go if he doesn’t want to sign”. We don’t know what the discussions have been. We don’t know how big a decision this is for the guy. Yet, we seem quick to assume he’s a greedy money grabber.

Cognitive dissonance is an essential tool of the modern football fan. I, for example, currently think Sanchez and Foyth are both significantly better than Alderweireld, but if Alderweireld signs a new contract, I'm sure we'll have retained the best CB in world football.Struggling to understand how this guy has gone from our clear best defender, up there with Ledley, to being injured, having some Twitter gossip about his contract situation and it’s now all “he’s old, injury prone and not much better than the other guys, get him sold”.
