When I said the other day that we proper missed the boat with that lad, I got X's
Right now there's no way I'm signing Abraham over Solanke.
There's no way I'm buying either.
For context...
The 21 PL games he played for Liverpool, he only started a handful. Average gametime was not even 30 mins. He was barely 20yo and had only played one season of senior football before joining the dippers (for Chavs' affiliate in the Eredivisie).
His first half season at B'mouth he played 10 games, of which only 2 were starts, avg gametime was just over 30 mins.
His first full season, he was involved in 32 games (17 starts, 50 min avg GT) & got 3 goals. B'mouth were shocking that season, couldn't hit a barn door...their topscorer got 7. And they got relegated.
The lad's PL career really started when they came back up in 2022. Since then he's played 51 games (50 starts, 88 mins avg GT) and bagged 18 goals & 8 assists.
Yeah cause there are so many guaranteed 20-a-season guys out there that we can afford
Excellent player with great potential. I hope Juventus doesn't sell him for financial reasons.
But there were plenty of people - me included - who wanted him at Spurs. And it was not sure that he would have chosen Spurs anyway, and for his career he most probably did the right thing to join B'mouth.
And Angelos, when seeing Bissouma and Sarr in training (and having Bentancur when he was fit) most probably didn't see getting another CM as priority.
What? You seen the money coming into the club?
let's settle for Dominic bloody Solankey after flogging the best forward in the world. My God
Not really, he had chances to perform and he didn't take them.
Same.
Just have to hope he doesn't sign a contract extension with B'muff
Ange was hot on Gallagher though who plays 8 as his preferred position as well.

and this is my last Scott post lol.
If Ange wants man bun Hojberg then fair play, he knows what he's doing.
Yes, but Scott is more of an offensive CM than Gallagher. However, right now I'd prefer Scott even though Gallagher may be a "better" player right now. Scott has a higher ceiling and a self-professed Spurs fan.
If Spurs really wanted Scott they would at least have bid more than the £25m got him for.

There was talk of Soule' (a new Dybala) and Zierkee (great technical means, it seems Salah). I mentioned Yildiz (18-year-old crystalline talent) but I don't want to forget Illing jr: until now he has remained on the sidelines but in my opinion he will find space. Juventus' great fortune is the "self-elimination" of Pogba, now a mentally weak former player. While awaiting the appeal, Juventus wants to keep him under contract for tax reasons (growth decree on tax relief).
didnt you guys prefer sudakov or something
They have mentioned all sorts of "exotic" names but I prefer to focus on quality home grown players. I've also heard the name Sudakov but I don't know him well.
I wonder if Spurs are the richest broke club in the world

That's the end of that then.
No chance in hell they are getting 50m for him and they aren't getting that from anyone else either. Enjoy FFP you cunts.
