Come on man, you were once my fav poster. Always previously thought you had smart informative views from SC. We all know we already attempted to upgrade right back with Aurier, not to mention Ndombele has been chased from before last season.Here’s the thing. We’ve apparently got this uber RCM, most people’s “player of the season” asBazali keeps telling me, and we have this catastrophe of a RB. But guess what position we have prioritised above all others and smashed our transfer record upgrading this summer?
I’ll give you a clue, it wasn’t RB.
I'm always curious though what would/could have happened to skme of those we missed out on over the years. Would their careers have turned out differently with us and a different set up around them or were some always doomed to fail?One of those glad we missed out on him just like when was rumoured to be after Michael ricketts

its getting boring. So you don't like Sissoko, it just so happens most of us changed our opinion on him last season and more importantly the club management like and trust him. His end product is not always great but he does a job and does it well.
I didn't see Ndombele as a replacement for Sissoko but for Dembele and I think Sissoko and Ndombele will play together at times.

Honestly, there's no point in trying to reason with the outspoken ape. He's made his mind up, despite all evidence to the contrary. The waste of space simply won't admit he's in the wrong. Just learn to laugh at him and don't take him seriously...nobody else does!

CM was needed more.
We have 3x RB on our books, and 3 CMs at best including Dier.
Prioritising CM seemed to me by far the first logical step to take. It happened first most likely because it's not a 'chain' situation where we make ourselves look like wallys buying a 4th RB, then trying to shift 1 or 2.
It just wouldn't make any sense to me buying a 4th RB first. I'm sure it's still a position we would like to improve.
ON TRAIL!!!!! Fuck me!
Another report...
Report: Zaniolo agrees transfer to Spurs with Alderweireld heading to Roma
A player plus cash deal? Do those even happen anymore?cartilagefreecaptain.sbnation.com
And another...
Nicolo Zaniolo says 'yes' to Tottenham as Roma line up Toby Alderweireld
Nicolo Zaniolo says 'yes' to Tottenham as Roma line up Toby Alderweireld signing. Updates from Italian reporter Alfredo Pedulla.www.101greatgoals.com
It's getting to the end of the transfer window when lots of possible deals are in the air.
Some appear mad at first
Spurs need to resolve 2 players futures :
- Eriksen ( will he stay and sign another contract now all the signs are that Madrid cannot afford either Eriksen or Pogba) or does he want to move elsewhrre regardless (wherever that might be). And if Eriksen is moving then in addition to Lo Celso we want another AM and if Madrid are demanding a buy back clause ( rumoured) then Ceballos is not happening. So may be a deal of Toby going to Roma makes sense, but less money o top.
- Alderweireld, is he staying or. Going. can Roma afford his wages. Will someone pay his release clause and wages on a long term contract - Toby's agent has been hawking him found Europe without any real bites so far.
I suspect this is the first of various possible deals floated - mostl Will niot happen as they are. Found not to be in one or other club or players interest.
so enjoy the ride and wait until the cards eventually fall into place.
'pretty much'
Might be tempted but we're building for the next 5 years.
I wonder, do you think that might have had something to do with injuries to Wanyama, Winks and Dier plus Dembele going to China leaving us very short in central midfield and trying to make sure that doesn't happen again?Here’s the thing.

Tiebreaker. Both teams have French captains.
Let’s let Hugo & Laurent make their sales pitches
I agree that there are more important positions to fill.
Ndombele fills Dembele's spot. We're at least two other midfielders short (especially if Eriksen goes). Wanyama can't be counted on. Plus a Kane stand-in.
Leave RB and CB alone at least for this window.
Very likely player wants out. Zidane has not given him fair playing time before and wants buy back clause o any loan so that he can then be resold if successful on a loan.
However now Madrid have said Zidane cannot buy Eriksen or Pogba, Zidane wants to keep Ceballos but there is now a lack of trust between player and coach.
Only question is whether Ceballos will force his way out of Madrid. And whether Madrid then decide they need another Eriksen like midfield player.
As I have said it's end of transfer window and everybody trying to play their best cards !
I keep wondering about Real not being able to afford Eriksen....wouldn't Poch rather sell him cheap to a club he wishes to join rather than risk him sulking for a season then leaving for nothing ?? Just a thought...
Gone a bit quiet on the Transfer front recently
‘Slabhead ‘ is his nickname but he doesn’t fuck about I’ll give you that and always a threat at corners
