Can we not just sign Andy Reid again instead?

Why do we need to offload players before signing him? The only players we're currently trying to offload are Reguilon, Gil, and Emerson, none play in his position, and will probably not get us more than 30m. Also we can obviously afford him. And what would a Manchester paper know about us and Eze.
Will make a change from the touch line grill
Lucky he wasn’t a cricketer
Look you can disagree all you want, to call Eze creative is probably using the wrong terminology - Maddison was in the 99th percentile for progressive passes last season, Eze was 59th - they're vastly different players.
Look at Maddison's progressive passes compared to Eze's for example, Maddison is a chance creation machine where as Eze excels at ball carrying and fashioning his own chances:

Burger? Get rid of ndombelly first or he'll eat the fucker.
Left the door unlocked again...So still no real signing then? Before anyone says anything, yes I know we have acquired the services of a couple of 8 year olds. Great, I'm really pleased. I'm sure in 2031, they'll be first team ready, but until then time is ticking on and the Bald Cunt is doing nothing...
We need a striker, a winger and a new dm, but the Bald Cunt would rather build hotels and sign children.
Highest paid chairman in the league. What a fucking joke.
Hotels do not build themselves…Were the fuck does all the money go?
We got 100m for Kane. Dier, Lloris, Kane, Hojberg, Perisic all off the wage bill
Didn’t want to sell either though did he? They both forced a move.Then sell them for a bumper pwofit before they help us win anything .![]()
Nail on head
Because the Bald Cunt is greedy. It's not enough to have already got Dier, Lloris, Kane, Hojberg, Perisic, Rodon, Ndombele and Sessignon off the wage bill, we need to sell more before we can buy apparently.
The new stadium was a con.
I've asked this before, not to you specifically, and never got a response.
How does Timo Werner compare to the likes of Neto, Williams etc on that?
Unusually harsh from you Matthew?It doesn't matter what we owe as we make far far far more than it costs to pay off.
Think of it like a 2nd property that you have a mortgage on, but your Tennant pays you more than the monthly mortgage.
That mortgage is not a problem, you're not restricted by it in any way.
Is that a simple enough explanation for you?

Yeah, there’s simply not much we could do with Bayern and PSG offering him the earth.Werner very effective once he beats his man it looks like.
I put in Doue as well and it looks like we missed out on an absolute gem which would fit our system like a glove, fuming - looks like he can press a bit as well.

Here’s a clip of Neto’s out of possession game.
I'd argue Klinsmann was the better signing then. Clean as a whistle, massively lifted the mood at THFC, and changed the PL IMO.Didnt know the ins and out of it but lofty ambitions. Getting klinsmann was good though.
I was thinking you were on about Rivaldo for most of that....the the last part happenedThere was a Brazil defender we miss out on too from World Cup 90 I think. He was all set to sign then an Italian club?? Came in for him and offered him a night with Sharon Stone as part of his contract
As a huge spurs fan even I would have signed for the Italian club on them terms
It's been done to death for years. Not sure why all of a sudden it came up and got repeated multiple times.
