Apparently..... Poch had to sweet talk him to get it over the line.
Needn't have bothered tbf.
Amazingly you won’t be the first on here to do that, judging by some strange posts I read after we beat Norwich
I think Bentancur is probably the silkiest of that group of four.
We have two runners in Skipp and PEH already. McKennie seems like another runner with a bit more of a goal threat.
I think more than that we need our next CM to be technically great and a very creative passer which McKennie is not.
Would be easily the best defence in the league.
A back 3 that can take care of themselves and are all good to great passers allowing two of the most dangerous wingbacks in Europe to go and do their thing.
You stick a Bissouma/SMS alongside Bentancur/Skipp in CM and I'd find it hard to argue anyone has a better XI than us in the league.
Lloris
Romero - Dier - Bastoni
Perisic --------------------- Kostic
Bentancur --- SMS
Kulusevski -- Kane -- Son

He did OK..... Just got rusty cos he was starved of gametime when he could have easily been serviced in cups and as a late sub.
Worth it alone for Ajax & City away in the CL tho..... Esp. Ajax.... He totally ruined them as a foil for Lucas, Dele and Son

Willian was pretty poor for Chelsea for 18 months, turned up 1 in 9.
Maybe there's more to come from McKennie but that this point in their careers Bentancur is much better. I'll take into account McKennie has only played for struggling Juve coaches, and I liked him a lot at Schalke. . Bentancur started for Juventus in two league winning teams. Bentancur played 600mins more than him last season. Bentancur only played 200mins less for Juventus this season and he's been with Tottenham since January. McKennie has often played left of a strange 4-4-2 for Juventus and has never performed as consistently well for anybody as Bentancur has for us since January. Bentancur is better than McKennie at pretty much everything a midfielder is supposed to do, except he gets in the box often and has good scope for goal-scoring ability.
There's so many layers of funny to this....
- Chavs will lose money.
- Chavs will struggle to get anyone notably better to replace him.
- Will push Arse further down the pecking order in their search for an ST too.
I kinda get the feeling that Bastoni would stay at Inter if he had his choice. Looking through a few interviews with him in the past, seems the type who'd love to stick around while they have a competitive team and fight for league titles. Seems there's only legs to a potential transfer because Inter want to force through a 60m sale and losing him is preferable to losing Lautaro.
Fuck yeah. Spurs making statements early in the transfer window. Get Bastoni wrapped up soon and everyone will know we're not here to fuck around. Makes us a more attractive proposition for other potential signings.
This is great. Our best recent transfers have been Romero (24), Kulusevski (22), Bentancur (24).. we're targeting Bastoni (22)... It really doesn't hurt to bring in a CL quality player of his age for no significant transfer fee.
He don't half chat some jumbled, filler crap....
Medical AFTER he's been signed?
Yeh, right....... :llorisunsure:
