Links don't win games.

Make yourself a list of all the fancy attacking players that Arse have been linked with since Arteta rocked up (5 1/2 years)......... Then compare to the reality:

Havertz
Jesus
Trossard
Viera
+
Semi-retired Willian
Semi-retired Sterling (loan)

It does. If Woolwich want him they get him and he's a brilliant signing for them because he's an upgrade on both Odegaard as a 10 and Martinelli as LW. If Woolwich want him they'll get him. Only reason they won't go for him is if they can get someone even better!

Eze is the best player we can sign. Woolwich are probably linked with 2 or 3 better forwards. That is annoying. Play it down all you like but it hurts!

Yeah this is the crux.

Loads of ifs, buts and maybes - but you're speaking with certainty, it's kinda tedious.

As I said before Eze doesn't even fit our side properly anyway, much prefer Semenyo or Kudus, natural wingers - He doesn't even fit them either - he's a completely different profile to both Martinelli and Odegaard lol

Spurs fans have been chasing this Eze pipe dream for ages and they've got used to the idea of us signing him so much they can't really say why we need him.

and they keep strengthening every Summer while we buy kids who aren't ready and don't strenghten our first team.

The gap between us is growing exponentially! Its scary. Its going back to the early 2000s. Its only a matter of time before they start winning again and we'll just be a team of kids who get beat twice by them every single season!

Yes i know mate, we had a brief glimpse of being above them but, as usual bad management, recruitment and everything else it has been shambolic.

Some of the bed wetting in this thread is hilarious. Transfers are complicated and we have no visibility into the progress or status of transfers being worked on. Feel free to moan when all the players are back from their summer holidays and we're fully in pre-season mode, but until then it's best to be patient and enjoy the speculation rather than let it eat away at you.

I am actually really excited about the upcoming season. It will be fascinating to see how Frank sets us up, which players are at the forefront of his thinking, and which we'll move on. Whatever happens we have a massively over inflated squad so it really needs to be a lot of clearing out.

Reguilon (released)
Forster (released)
Hojbjerg (permanent transfer to Marseilles - £18m)
Werner (loan ended)
Veliz? (rumoured to be goign back to Argentina on a permanent deal)
Solomon? (great chance to sell him to Leeds for pure profit - £15m)
Gil? (time is up - needs to be moved on. signed a contract extension last year with a £15m release clause?)
Bissouma?
Richarlison?
Davies?
Phillips?
Dragusin?
Son?

I don’t agree with this idea that we need wingers more than Eze who is more a 10 (though can play wider on the left) than a winger. We currently have Johno and Kulu as RW options, whilst Tel and Odo are two footed and could play RW at a pinch. Our only 10 is Maddison with Kulu (not a natural 10)as back up. I guess Bergvall could play as a 10. We know Madders can’t play a full season so another 10 is just as important as a winger, plus Eze is 5he perfect Son replacement. All that said I still think getting a top 6 is more important than 10 or wingers, but I’m not TF and who knows what his priorities are? Certainly not us armchair experts.

1. He was bobbins before injury this season.

2. His availability since arriving in 2022 is 65% EPL (60% all comps).

His record when he's been available says that's not the case.

Last season contributed to much of that lack of availability, with 18 of 38 played. As I posted earlier, he played 33 of 38 the previous season, and that was with 2 matches out due to the Red card.

Kulu can and has play as a 10 as well, we don't need to spend £70m on yet another player who can potentially play as a 10, who isn't by the way a natural no10 either, it's a waste of money and resources.

John John John, getting a hard on now are we because I bigged up the gunners?

You are the biggest bottlers ever. Have everything there and can't get over the line! Now you are obsessed with only signing players over 6 foot 2. Completely sold our on your football to win and you still can't win. An unnamed sportsperson taking long throw ins during a champions league semi final! An embarrassing establishment. Some day we'll get it right and the good guys will get the last laugh. In the meantime we'll just enjoy watching you lot bottle it every year

The pathetic ones are the likes of you that like to wallow in mediocrity and prefer to see us looking up the table at our rivals rather than compete on a level playing field.
Have you never wondered why chavs and gooners are terrified at the thought of Spurs being sold?

Oh so she does reply to posts then :harrylol:

I'll reply to this only if you can answer my questions about transfer targets and Goat's questions as to why you disappeared from the site for a month and changed your identity, thanks

So it didn't come from anywhere apart from our fantasies and imaginations then? Cool

I don't think it's done anyway so no idea why people are melting, the report literally says that Arse have registered interest and shortlisted him, and so what? Does that suddenly mean he's off the market, I don't get it?

Can't take anything what these tenuous reports say with any validity anyway, they'e all guessing and speak shit purely for clicks and engagement designed for the thirsty football fans who pine for the next dopamine hit of transfer news.

Spare me.
