"intense negotiations" to sign a bum.

What makes him a bum exactly ?

Because a 20 year old out of form player didn’t come to a struggling Spurs side and hit the ground running ?

Or was it when he out of all the players went into the away end after being embarrassed at Fulham?

Or is it he’ll stop us signing some player you want that the club was probably never considering anyways ?

ohhhh yipeeeeeee yayyyyy he went to the away end and thanked the fans after putting in a non performance and us losing again.

With this kind of simpish behaviour from the fanbase who can blame the board for going for the 'punt' option again and again.

Dane Scarlett has looked more ready for first team football in his cameo appearances but of course he's not the fancy 40m signing so yeh let's pretend that it's not true. Alfie Devine looked an excellent prospect but nah let's spend 35m plus on a 17/18 year old so we don't have to spend on the proven players we desperately need.

Mbeumo is a fluke of a player but definitely not worth 60 million
glad he's UTD bound.
And for the record i do think he is a good player but he'll get found out at a big club and Brentford will be laughing at the fee they recieve.

In truth he has been picked up cheaply by Brentford & honed superbly by a top class manager who has a knack for picking up raw unpolished talents with key attributes

Its very simple the 1 defining attribute which has set him apart in the premier league this season is his physicality when running at speed

In short he is an absolute bastard to get the ball off him much like our very own Moussa Dembele was.

Worth 60 million??????

Not sure about that but glad we have stayed clear

United lost the cup final to Spurs. Spurs do nothing.

United sign Cunha, Mbuemo wants em and due to join. They want Gyokeres then a no 8, a left wing back and a GK. Plus selling their dross.

What will their finances look like at the end though - who is buying Rashford, Sancho, De ligt, Hoijlund, Onana, Casemiro

I can’t get excited about their transfers, they have so much work to do on outs and ins, they are going to take a financial walloping that could set them back years - this feels like a big gamble to try and get back in the CL immediately and if it doesn’t work then they could really be in the shit. Alternatively they are going to sell Bruno, Mainoo and Yoro for big fees.

Finally, Cunha has failed at every big club he has been at and is well documented bell end - probably the perfect match him going to United

Spurs’ wage bill was slashed last year, dropping £29.2m (12 per cent) to £221.9m. That’s over £100m less than the rest of the ‘Big Six’, with Woolwich’s £327.8m the closest of that group. Spurs’ wages to revenue of 42 per cent is the Premier League’s lowest.

The ratio isn’t just low for the Premier League — it’s low for football. Of the 20 clubs that spend the most on wages in Europe, Spurs’ wages to revenue is the lowest. Only AC Milan (46 per cent) and Real Madrid (48 per cent) came in under the 50 per cent mark. That’s hardly poor company to be in, but each of those clubs have won their domestic titles in recent years (and, in the case of Madrid, a fair bit more besides). Spurs, as if you need reminding, haven’t. There is a fine line between prudence and penny-pinching.

It's absolutely blatant evidence of a football club being used to build up the business, instead of the business being used to build up a football club.

Disgusting. And Shameful that some of our own fans try to justify it.

2 goals and 1 assist in 19 games as an attacker.... the fact that he has absolutely zero wow factor.


are you telling me you watch tel and think he even looks like a footballer? the way he dribbles and the way the ball behaves when hes on it? go and watch actual proper wingers and compare, see if you can spot the difference. thats just with basic technique of managing a ball, then you have decision making which is just as important if not more, thats poor too.

theres a reason bayern are willing to just dump him off for a cut fee...if he had any hope at all they would say its 50 or well keep him, they are desperate to get rid, and they are in a poor state in comparison to how they have been in the last decade or so.
