Sky hyping up another damp squib deadline transfer day. I’ve invested about half hour since about 9 this morning and Ronaldo seems to be the only story.

Oh and Tim Vickery completely misrepresenting our signing Emerson

I am a bit shocked that we don't bring in more Llorente-type players. He was enormous for us in both the league and CL as a backup and then we never replaced the basic skill set.

The ability to change the way we play when it's not working is sorely needed. And, having a striker that plays a bit of a different game is always helpful.

Just read that he's out of Udinese. Maybe get him on a free? I'd love it for him to come back.
 
It’s such an odd window I am both happy in some ways and pissed off in others. We have done a good job it appears on the defence and also on youth plus moving quite a number of players.

On the other hand with the loss of Bale and Vinnie plus the tantrums of Ndombele we are now quite light in attack and creativity and relying on Kane not getting injured or Scarlett being a boy wonder at 17. Even rating it is hard, it’s both fantastic and a bit shit at the same time.

They do that everywhere don't they?

When I worked in Basingstoke there was a fucking great big hill on the entrance to an industrial estate, no houses, no pedestrians, no schools anywhere near and they camped behind a hedge right at the bottom. You had to apply the brakes not to coast over 30 the hill was so steep.

It always just been a revenue stream.

Everywhere else you can attend the nearest driver awareness course to your home address.
In Dorset only as far as I know - you have to attend the course in Dorset. 8 weeks after the incident they offered me the chance to be in Dorset on a Tuesday at 9am to attend the course for 4 hours or so.

Living in Kent, that would mean 4-5 hours driving each way in my 5 litre car that does 20mpg (so probably £100 in fuel), most likely need to drive there Monday night, pay for a hotel 1 night (£100+) and then book a day of holiday from work. Putting someone on a motorway un necessarily for 8-10 hours is not about safety anyway.

Bastards. It is a revenue stream for sure just Dorset make it so awkward. My Dad told me about the good old days where he would give the coppers a bottle of whiskey and be on his way - swerving down the road.

Looks like this transfer window is not for this season but for the future.
Ill be watching this season with zero exceptations, guess thats not so bad

It is absolutely insane that he can make it to be a Premier League footballer with all the commitment, talent, competition, hard work and luck that that entails only to get there and say fuck it. And then even more insane to think that Real, Barcelona or PSG would be scrambling to sign him based on his recent seasons.

However it's even more worrying that our club would pay him £220,000 a week and that Levy would make him our record signing particularly when he quibbled over paying £27m for grealish instead of £25m.

I think we should loan him to Newcastle or Woolwich but pay all his wages to make sure they take him. What a cunt. And when I say cunt I mean, an absolute cunt.

Levy should invest in an in-house psychologist and a soft play area with edible crayons and a gutter for the river of tears.

Some people just like to bitch and moan, I guess. Especially in hindsight, I guess. IIRC there was very much a "the jury's still out" feeling about Grealish, when we were in for him. All the same, Levy stepped on from that (and most of his dealings) to pull out all the stops to get Ndombele from under the noses of bigger clubs. IIRC basically everyone thought we'd signed a superstar at the time. As it turned out, Grealish became the superstar and Ndombele a lazy fuck. Hindsight's lovely ain't it. Still....

Why don't you just pay up instead of haggling to tight, bald fucker?

When he does pay up: Why did you pay that much you stupid, bald fucker?

I'm sat firmly on the meeeeeeh fence with regards to Levy, before the Levy apologist comments flood in. He's doing some things superbly, and with other things I'd prefer a (much) different approach. In any case, I'd rather be on the fence and take each thing on its own merit, than being someone who blatantly complains just to complain.

Where to? That is a massive assumption doubt Man City ever come back especially how pissed off Guardiola is with him. Utd have got Ronaldo this summer doubt they will bid for Kane. Liverpool have enough problems with the age of their strike force so they are not going to bid for Kane and Chelsea have got Lukaku. If Kane wants to spend the rest of his career in the Premier League I think he is stuck at Tottenham so he is better off signing a large contract and concentrating on winning his trophies here.

Why is pep pissed off at Kane? Kane has been begging him very publicly to come get him but city never made a decent offer. If pep was expecting Kane to work the deal out with Levy so he could go on the cheap I think he's only got his side to blame.

Grealish would have been an insanely good £20m signing a few years ago.
But £100m this season is just sheer insanity. Especially as they needed a proper 20+ goal scorer way more than they needed Grealish.
Just makes no sense.
