Thoughts on Dragusin? Cheers
I get what you're saying, my man. And that's a good & fair point. That said, I think with Madders it's more a case of fans of opposing teams being so sick of being done by him & Leicester that they made him out to be a cunt. He's got that kinda face too and he's never been shy about trolling fans back. But you talk to his previous clubs and their fans, they ain't got a bad word to say about the lad. Also, he's been doing the business for years in the PL, his talent is a guarantee. Heck, we know what a true gentleman Harry Kane is, but you talk to fans of our competitors, not even Woolwich/Chelsea/Spam, they friggin hate the man...but it's just cause he destroyed them time & again.
I don’t know if you do watch Italian football but I do so I’ve seen him enough to comment on him.
Would be difficult to achieve on our budget, and if we already get Dragusin and he turns out to be decent.
With our back 4 troubles he would get plenty of game time, especially with Europe next season
left footed good backup for van de ven
Romero - Micky - Dragusin - Big Ben...that's a quartet I'm happy with for next season, when hopefully we'll have better luck with injuries & no more silly reds.
Tottenham now want to sign £35m 'one-man army' ahead of PSG
Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly set their sights on France Under-21 midfielder Manu Kone ahead of the January transfer window. Spurs are seemingly looking to bolster...tbrfootball.com
according to Rudy Galetti, Tottenham are following Kone, who has been shining for Bundesliga club Borussia Monchengladbach.
As well as Spurs, Liverpool are apparently in pursuit of the 22-year-old, the journalist reported on X.
In addition, French giants Paris Saint-Germain have reportedly added him to their wishlist too.
Kone certainly fits the bill as an Ange Postecoglou signing for Tottenham.
He is a top talent who, at just 22 years of age, has a high ceiling and plenty of years ahead of him.
Admittedly, it has not been a great season for Kone, who hasn’t featured much due to injury and suspension.
Nevertheless, he’s an outstanding player who has earned plaudits from many peers and commentators in recent years.
Tottenham target Manu Kone is ‘one of the most impressive players in the Bundesliga’
For instance, Get German News Football claimed in summer that Kone ‘will become one of Europe’s best’.
Meanwhile, Jacek Kulig of Football Talent Scout lauded his display against Bayern Munich in February, deeming him a ‘one-man army’.
In addition, outing website Breaking the Lines wrote a comprehensive report on Kone last year, in which they sung his praises.
‘Kone has been one of the most impressive players in the Bundesliga this season,’ they wrote at the time. ‘Showcasing his versatility, athleticism, and technical ability.

‘Standing at 6’1”, Kone is an imposing figure in midfield, but he also possesses great speed and agility.
‘This allows him to cover a lot of ground on the pitch and make an impact both defensively and offensively.
‘In addition, Kone is a very good passer of the ball and has an excellent work ethic.’
In terms of his price tag, Fabrizio Romano said on X in the summer that Kone could be available for €35/40million (around £30/35million).
Let’s see what happens in the coming weeks. Tottenham will certainly fancy their chances of signing Kone, but Spurs are up against some stiff competition.
Which youngsters are you referring to? Udogie? VDV? Romero? Sarr? Porro?
