@VladmirButtIn (Tier1) - because I love to interfere with things I have no clue about.If you were to start your own ITK-wankery account, what would you call yourself?
Given the penchant for grandiose fictitious figures Hercules, Zues etc. I thought maybe something derived from a real-world hard-hitter instead:
@GhengisKunt
What I said already why bring someone like when we have Rodon already. Really don’t get it. Against most teams we should ne aiming to have most of the ball. So we really need ballers at the top end. Which means some real quality. I said in a previous post it would be great to buy someone who will provide some magic and get people out of their seats. I think defensively we will be fine with one quality addition. So let’s get someone spectacular up top. No idea who that is but it ain’t richarlison.Lenglet on loan is a waste of a non HG spot.
He didn't make Barcelona's team despite them struggling, would be a really poor move.
Well that isn’t a lot for for a HG England regular really? We could have offered winks plus £30M for Phillips. Not sure we weren’t after him. Skipp, Bent, PEH , YB and Philipps would have been top notch.Is that Darko Gyabi from Star Wars...?
Well, that's Phillips off the wish list. I thought he would be worth more than Raphinha, so let's hope Leeds listens to Levy's valuation now so Spurs fans don't need to go thru the trauma of having to wait more than a week for their next signing![]()
Regardless of all that we could easily have afforded that as well.Fucking hate city. Powered by oil and cant fill their stadium. All on the take at that club. They've bought their success. Whole of europe hates them. Not jealousy but its plain cheating what they've done. Glad were their bogey club and pissed them off a few times over VAR.
You think they would take Winks lolWell that isn’t a lot for for a HG England regular really? We could have offered winks plus £30M for Phillips. Not sure we weren’t after him. Skipp, Bent, PEH , YB and Philipps would have been top notch.
Still for that price it’s a great deal. I would have had him for that price. CM of him and YB would have been awesome.Yep he is still nowhere near as good as Bissouma though who we got for £25m. Other than Haaland that deal won’t be beaten this window.
Now the #1 priority in this window in my opinionWhatever about Richarlison being able to play through the middle, I've come to think that Raphinha would be the better signing. He's just a much better player. Hope he doesn't end up with that lot.
Ffs they haven’t even paid more than we paid for tanguy with these two purchases. We can afford players of this value. We obvs we’re not iinterested in Philips. Not sure why. He can fill in at the back. Plus HG! For that price we should be sniffing.Yeah I reckon there's a ma$$ive reason why they just pay up and don't me$$ around but I can't think why...![]()
Raphinha, permanent contact Leeds-Woolwich.
The clubs are making progress on the deal. No full agreement yet, but the parties continue to move closer.
At the moment the Gunners are in pole position.
@tjuanmarti on @relevo.
Sven Botman off the list. Don't think he was high on Conte's wish list anyway
Probably not quite mobile enough for the lcb position, but he's a good player. Definitely better long term than Rodon for ccb I think, not that I want us to sign himIs he any good? Seems like a reasonable price. However if no better than Roden or Dav then what is the point?
Yes agreed, but there are some right fucking idiots.Are some of you already melting? We are having a great window by Tottenham standards. It’s not even July for fuck sake
