I'm sure the blessed few are out there somewhere......
Perhaps in France...... Though I suspect it gets a little lost in translation.... Balleaux.
No 's' though !

You could have said you meant Jaden Williams (although he's a CF)

In EVERY window from now on!Do Porro and Kulusevski count against the January net spend as well?
Yes! We must sell before we can buy!Doubt we'll have the financial power to do much in this window
Kulusevski , Porro and Romero fees will take up a hefty chunk of the budget
He’s the purest type of Spurs nerd fantasy.
We aren’t signing him in a million years.
Kid with a name like that is Real Madrid and if not maybe a stop at Benfica to develop on the way.
His agent will know how hard it will be to get Levy to sell him if he’s good so will never let him come here before Real.
Probably both!What does everyone make of Ivan Toney as a Jan target? We could pull off another Maddison, Biss type steal. We all know his qualities.
The big question is, is he a person of poor morals and judgement? Or just a bit thick, and there's nothing to worry about?
Would be gutted if we signed him.What does everyone make of Ivan Toney as a Jan target? We could pull off another Maddison, Biss type steal. We all know his qualities.

Think he found his way out, after 40days and nights.He deserves to be in the wilderness for going there in the first place.
Would be gutted if we signed him.
Brentford fine without him. We as too.
It’s the manna in which he left I didn’t like.

Tottenham snubbed Ferguson as 'not physical enough'
Football Insider can reveal that Tottenham watched Evan Ferguson closely as a 15-year-old but pulled out of a deal due to scouting team misgivingswww.footballinsider247.com
Revealed: Tottenham pulled plug on deal for '£100m next Alan Shearer' - because he's 'not physical enough'
Tottenham pulled the plug on signing Evan Ferguson as a 15-year-old due to scouts’ misgivings over his physical potential, sources have told Football Insider.
Spurs watched the Brighton striker closely when he was making a name for himself in his native Ireland in his mid-teens and were firmly in the race to lure him from Irish club Bohemians at that stage.
It is believed, sources say, that talent spotters from the London giants were impressed by Ferguson’s potential and felt he could make it at Premier League level.
But talks over a deal did not progress because scouts felt that the striker, then 15, had almost reached his full physical size and had doubts over whether the rest of his game could compensate.
In the event, Ferguson went on to grow to be 6ft 2in and filled out considerably over the following years.
Brighton eventually won the race to prise Ferguson from Bohemians in January 2021 when he was 16 and coveted by multiple Premier League clubs, who also included Liverpool.
He made his debut for the Seagulls in an EFL Cup clash at 16 and his Premier League debut followed shortly after, a month after his 17th birthday.
The teenage sensation who does not turn 19 until next month, is now firmly established as one of the outstanding attacking talents in European football and gave further indication of his ability with a hat-trick for Brighton in their 3-1 Premier League win over Newcastle United last weekend.
Ferguson already has four league goals this season and a remarkable 14 from just 33 senior matches for the south-coast club.
Football finance expert and Brighton fan Kieran Maguire is in no doubt about the youngster’s value.
“If his development continues, then in a year’s time the club won’t stand in his way of a move,” Maguire told Football Insider.
“He’s got all the attributes of a young Shearer and Alan Shearer in today’s market at the age of 19 would be worth well over £100million
We have more than enough talented strikers in our academy. Will they develop like Evan Ferguson? Probably not, but I doubt he would either if he went to our academy instead of going to Brighton where they were giving him PL minutes since he was 17.It hurts reading this...
