Im more excited that we are replacing another Foreign player with a HG player if we sign him, this can only mean that Dybala is coming>?If we can improve 2 problem positions for a negative net spend then I'm all for kissing Levy's bald scalp.
We have athletic wide players, and the likes of Davinson & Tanganga are good athletes too.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 asktodd1882 . That fucker is bound to know.
You can take the croat, im sticking with the GOAT!We have athletic wide players, and the likes of Davinson & Tanganga are good athletes too.
But yes, we're not a team of athletes.
Some would say Sissoko's greatest strength is his athleticism.
If you offered me Rakitic or Sissoko for my football team, I'll take the Croat all day long.
Ali Gold seems to think he does:
I don’t believe this 12mill malarkey though, unless Jose has some sort of clout with in their club due to the Portuguese infrastructure there?

I thought he was great 2018-19 and the start of last season. Maybe I just caught him having off days but he wasn't impressive post covid.
Matt Doherty would be a very good signing. Good defensively and going forward. Only TAA created more chances than him going forward, and he chips in with goals as well.
Think's he counts as home grown in PL eyes but not Uefa as he wasn't signed by Wolves until he was 18 from Ireland.
Mourinho's agent is Jorge Mendes, who is pretty involved with the Wolves transfers both in and out. Could play a part in the deal. Wolves signing Maitland-Niles also indicates they could be willing to sell Doherty.
Ali Gold seems to think he does:
“Crucially, the right-back also counts as homegrown due to spending three years at Wolves before he turned 21, having been signed for just £75,000 from Irish side Bohemians in 2010.”
Doherty is a good signing, and I think ticks a lot of boxes for Jose. He’s not perfect, would prefer someone a bit younger but we cannot be picky with Aurier looking certain to leave. The other options we have been linked with are uninspiring to say the least and I’d prefer Doherty to all of them.
He spent parts of three years, but not three full years. Gotta be before their 18th birthday.
On the contrary I want someone who can hit the ground running.... Prem proven, plenty of experience and maturity is ideal right now.
