Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

I suspect its political to get him to force a move from Villa to United.

Villa apparently demanding silly money. Pressure on player to go on strike to force them to sell.

That's a bit conspiracy heavy innit? (Like i already pointed out, Mings & Phillips have both been picked regardless of parent club).

He'd be dumb to go there anyway... Unless Pobga is off he'd be sat getting splinters for 2/3s of the season.

Goons or replacement for Wijnaldum would make most sense for him.... For us he'd just be fighting for the same spot that GLC, Dele & Ndombele are.
 
Meanwhile, Antonio Conte and Inter´s owner Steven Zhang are having a meeting at this moment. In the next hour we should know if the manager is leaving the club or not.

 
He's an £80m player to Villa, and that's the most important thing. Villa have very rich owners, so it's not like they need the money. If he wants to leave then yes, it may be that they do lower the price, but it isn't going to be anything like £30-40m that a player of his level should be, it'll be more £55-65m.

Under contract until 06/23.

Not unlike Zaha, I think he's stuck there for a year or two.... By which time he'll be 26/27 and either seen to be ACTUALLY worth the big bucks or he'll end up seeing an overpriced move to Everton.

Except Rakitic would be surrounded by athletic players at Spurs, which he isn't at Barca where Busquets & de Jong are basically passers not runners, and Messi & Suarez are both well into their thirties.
If signing Rakitic means selling Sissoko, that would be a massive upgrade for me.
Rakitic would be surrounded by athletic players at Spurs? Our lack of athleticism is one of the main things that boils my piss, as a matter of fact.

From what I have heard on podcasts, his legs have gone. He's one year younger than Suarez, but I'll have to check it out for myself.

Or I could ask todd1882 todd1882 . That fucker is bound to know.
