Alasdair Gold: Spurs are also considering a move for Turkish centreback Merih Demiral.
It was probably pierre or a DM. We went for pierre so I don't think we will get a DM. Maybe next summer though.
Nope.
never said it was to be King, said that his was a name that had been mentioned as a likely or possible.
Have never mentioned CV.
Also had only mentioned Edouard and Jimenez as others i had heard.
Just reading that Daniele Rugani is on his way to fucking Rennes on loan. He barely played under Sarri last year and Pirlo doesn't see him as first choice this season...hard to blame the Maestro for picking Bonucci & Chiellini over him really. But Juve don't want to sell so that he can potentially come back in strong next season, or they sell him big in 12 months after he's had a great season elsewhere.
Anyway, why aren't we going for him? He's class, just needs to play regularly, which he'd do at Spurs cause he's head & shoulders above the CBs we have right now. He could even play as a FB when we wanna keep things tighter and less adventurous than with MD & Reggy. I know Rennes are in the CL but come on, sure he'd pick playing in the PL over the farmers' league any day.
And apparently they're getting him on loan for less than 2mil. Let them have Foyth instead, they were keen on him

Another defensive midfielder would be nice. If we had another option in there I would agree
I don’t do twitter. I was the messenger with that Milik stuff; and it appears true. Have a lovely day
Yep it has come out to be true. He doesn’t seem to make shit up like Trix and Hercules.
Yeah, they've recently picked up a new customer.The Post Office getting involved with ITK now, huh?
Like what I've read about him, won't pretend to have ever seen him though.
This raised an eyebrow...
On 11 October 2019, following Cenk Tosun's goal in a 1–0 home win over Albania in a Euro 2020 qualifier, Demiral was one of the Turkish players who participated in a controversial "military salute" goal celebration. The same day, he stated his open support for the Turkish offensive into north-eastern Syria on Twitter.
Oh well, I suppose we'll have to turn a blind eye again, as we did when Lucas expressed his love for Bolsonaro.
That would be a bit tough on me , as my partner is Armenian, but football is one of those area in life where I would allow myself to be a bit hypocritical
do you not think that with all this constant taking the knee that the authorities as in the FA etc have now given a green light to allowing political messages in football?
in which case we best get used to all sorts...
I think 3 of them have been more opportunist than actually planned out.
Bergwijn, Reguilon and Bale, in my opinion, are players that we weren't necessarily planning to buy, but were made available and Levy and Jose have decided they are too good an opportunity to pass up.
Doherty, Hojbjerg, Hart, Vinicius and a centre back were always our aims I think.
Yeah he really missed a trick getting the players on side by saying they are all useless cunts, maybe he could have just read from some of the match threads on here?
100% agree which along with many other things associated with modern football gives me the hump.
Will be interesting to see what cb we get by Monday
Lads, even with Skrin and a proper DM, let's be realistic: wouldn't win the Prem for sure, too big of a gap with L'pool and also with City once they stop being unlucky with injuries to huge players like Laporte & Sergio.
The FA Cup, we always shoot ourselves in the foot and here again, we're behind the dippers, Utd, Chel, City & the goons in terms of experience/know how. We'd get to the semis against a giant and quite probably lose it in dramatic circumstances...a la Spurs. But it's not totally impossible and God how I'd love to win that one, smashing the mugs from across the road in the final
The Europa League is real tough, but that could be a shout, depends on the draw for knockout stages obviously. Mou's done it before with a worse team ha ha
The Carabanana Cup is the most likely of the lot IMO. Get past Stoke then with a bit of luck get a decent draw next round (Newcastle) and it's game on. Hate that competition and want it to get fucked but that's a trophy
With Bergwijn and Gedson it would be 9 new players in 2 windows.
