it was 3rd party ownership horse shittery that got in the way, wasnt it, if i recall?Yeah was supposed to be Pochs first choice signing centre back but we got Fazio
If we did get him we probably wouldn't have got Toby to be fair
The third party horse shittery that only ever seems to be a really big stumbling block to Spurs signing players? Yes indeedy.it was 3rd party ownership horse shittery that got in the way, wasnt it, if i recall?

It must be due to the low fee PSG offering at this time, perhaps?I don’t really understand our refusal to have an option to buy Dele? It’s clear he’s not wanted by Mourinho, I’m sure PSG and Poch would pay a handsome sum for him and as we seem insistent on signing a replacement, when Dele returns in the Summer it will likely just add to our already bloated squad?
Only logical reason I can come up with is that Levy is boxing clever in the eventuality that Mourinho isn’t here come start of next season, and the incoming manager would want to use Dele...
Conte pretty much confirmed Eriksen staying at Inter post match yesterday. Or it's a hard ball which we shouldn't engage. They're asking a loan fee and make whoever want Eriksen pay a stupid wage.If Dele goes then Eriksen can join the EPL squad as a straight swap as there are 16 non-HG.

Cunte said that in the post nut afterglow. He'll likely rot on the bench there as an injury time impact sub.Conte pretty much confirmed Eriksen staying at Inter post match yesterday.

Ethan Ampadu, 20 - would be a great player to line up for the summer - do the deal now subject to him getting relegated.
