Hercules with a short summary of what he's read in the press recently - delusionally believing no-one else read those same twitter/press rumors :rolleyes:

Genoa conversations extremely positive. May surprise you to know this fella is Ange’s first pick. Jota, we are really trying to do some things. 18 year olds which you know about, we are waiting especially on one, the Ajax lad’s decision
How he's still pumping out this shite after all these years is beyond me. Hercules is the biggest troll I've ever come across.

He's currently sat in his 87-year old mother's dingy basement, fingers caked in wotsit dust, boxes of mouldy Dominos pizza spread out all over the floor, shit stained underwear draped over the bedside lamp, bed sheets that haven't been washed since 2019 whilst he's conjuring up the next ridiculously non-committal and vague ITK bollocks to dangle in front of his SC fanboys.

It makes me sick.
 
Agree. I think he lacks bravery, both with the ball in that he doesn't use this allegedly terrifying pace to get at his opponent and he also seems timid and afraid of the contest.

Talented for sure but jeez for 50m we need a lot more from him. I am keeping the faith for now but BJ is starting to annoy me.
Jesus hes barely here 4 months, missed pre-season with us, been injured just after signing. Give the lad a chance.
Hes still getting assists despite not playing too well. Also forces defences to drop a little deeper because he can cause trouble when going in behind
 
He’s a runner and should terrify defenders with his pace but doesn’t do it enough. Every time in the first 15 mins of games he should just go in behind. Then the fb will drop off and then he can take it to feet with a bit more space to play.

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham Hotspur want to sign Paulo Dybala from AS Roma in the January transfer window.

That is according to TuttoJuve, which has named three other Premier League clubs who are keen on the AS Roma forward.

So, what has been reported about Tottenham Hotspur and Paulo Dybala? Let’s take a look.

Tottenham Hotspur linked with Paulo Dybala
Well, according to TuttoJuve, Tottenham Hotspur are among the clubs who want to sign Paulo Dybala from AS Roma in the January transfer window.

The report has claimed that Spurs want to sign a new striker in the middle of the season, and that the North London club have joined the race for the Argentina international.

TuttoJuve has claimed that Manchester United, Chelsea and Newcastle United are also keen on the 30-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder as well.

While United think that Dybala would complete their attack, Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino personally wants his Argentine compatriot at Stamford Bridge. The Blues were linked with him in the summer of 2023 as well.

Paulo Dybala is one of the best forwards around who is very highly. He has been a star in Italy for years now.

Dybala was superb during his time at Juventus. He won the Serie A title five times and reached the final of the UEFA Champions League once.

Real Madrid and Brazil legend Roberto Carlos said in April 2022 that Dybala is “world class” and “a great striker”.

Spurs forward Dejan Kulusevski played with Dybala at Juventus and described him as “a fantastic player” in July 2022.

Rodrigo Bentancur is also a big fan of Dybala. Back in February 2019, the Spurs midfielder said on UEFA’s YouTube channel when asked what he would take from his game: “His shot. Because with the left foot he has on him, let’s just say I’d like to have it.”

Dybala has scored four goals and given six assists in 12 Serie A matches so far this season. Last season, the 30-year-old scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 22 league starts.

Johnson hasn’t settled yet . He has a permanently anxious expression on his face, and is playing like it. There’s a player there though , I suspect he will take a season or so to settle.
He hides away too much. Doesn't make enough effort to get involved or come looking for the ball,.which is a shame because at times he has shown he can be creative and make things happen....Reminds me of Sessegnon, albeit a better version.

West Ham have made an approach to sign Tottenham Hotspur outcast Eric Dier as David Moyes looks to add depth to his squad, according to FootballTransfers.

The online news outlet reported [1 January] that Moyes is looking to add another experienced player to his squad in the January transfer window and the Hammers already made initial contact with Spurs.

It is understood that the club see the 29-year-old as a Harry Maguire-like centre-back, who they were linked with a move for during the summer.


West Ham
Experienced mind

With Dier’s contract ending in 2024, Spurs could be forced to sell the player for a cheaper fee instead of letting the veteran leave for free at the end of the season.

The England international is clearly no longer part of Ange Postecoglou’s plans and is believed to have already sanctioned a move in January, having made just four Premier League appearances and one start.


It has been a devastating season for Dier so far. He was one of the most trusted, highly regarded players at the club before Postecoglou became manager in the summer, but has been shunned after the additions of Micky van de Ven and the deputising of Emerson Royal and Ben Davies at centre-back.


West Ham
With West Ham enjoying a successful start to the 2023/24 campaign, they are set for an extremely busy second half to the season of Premier League and Europa League fixtures and will need reinforcements, especially if Thilo Kehrer is to depart the club.

However, West Ham have the ability to attract much bigger names after winning the Europa Conference League last season and as they push for the top four spots in the Premier League.

It will be the potential price that will attract Moyes to the signing of Dier, being one of the best pound-for-experience defenders in the top tier of English football – 365 appearances for Spurs and 49 international caps for England.
I like David Moyes!

so would he be more of a summer signing
Or if Spurs would sign Itakura at all in the summer...
If van de Ven regain his pre-injury form and he & Romero remain injury free and Spurs do sign Dragusin and he proves himself as a quality CB I doubt Spurs will sign him (but I may well be wrong).
With Davies as 4th choice CB and Phillips hopefully being able to play in the EPL next season, Spurs should be decently covered at CB, even if they do qualify for the CL.

Unfortunately it’s from football transfers.com so it’s likely to be as accurate as the SC bullshitters.

It’s because he’s just a made up user on there? It can’t be a real person, just a creation by those that run the site.
 
Yep. The other day he said we had no money to spend despite it being obvious tho the contrary. He blows like the wind.

Why do I keep seeing nonsense about us having to get creative to get some business done or working within some kind of financial straight jacket.

We are in the best FFP position of any PL club since it's inception, were recently announced as the most profitable club in premier league history, and banked over £100million for the world's best striker less than 6 months ago.....

....b.but we have to get creative... .Fuck Off

Just act like a big club, flush the shit, and back our fucking manager for once.

You know why. It is playing to an audience and perpetuates a unsavoury narrative. Anyone with half a brain knows we have money to spend in the transfer market if they gave it more than a seconds thought. Don’t fall for it.
