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

Hey Deuterz Deuterz . Seem like I've taken over your mantle, bro :harrylol:

Always remember Don. It's Gooners who sing 'Daniel Levy, We want you to stay "

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.
Yes, I said Kulu can play as a 10. Paying for Eze wouldn’t be a waste as he would improve our side. We are playing in 4 comps and we need quality backups for when players aren’t available. My point is still that I don’t think getting a winger is more important than Eze and a number 6 is more important than both.

The real sad thing about our discussion is that we’ve been so brainwashed by Levy’s miserliness that we argue over a winger v a 10. We should be getting both AND a 6. Liverpool, City, Chelsea would if they were in our position.
 
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!
So hang on, if Woolwich go for him, they get him cos Eze is gonna be an upgrade on Odergaard and Martenelli... but if they don't, it's cos they can do better... Well then they'll clearly go for someone better. 'cos if WE go for him, then he's downgraded to only the best WE can get....
He's a class player, his ENTIRE FAMILY is Spurs.... I dunno where all this Eze is a Gooner came from... Is it simply 'cos they rejected him as a kid and he cried??

.... If anything, if I were him, I'd never wanna set foot in that place UNLESS it's North London Derby day and I'm in the away dressing room!
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.
Eze's the type of player you MAKE fit into ANY team....
He's a throwback maverick in the mould of Frank Worthington, Stan Bowels, Glenn Hoddle, Ginola of this era ...🫠 And PRECISELY the type of player we love, and should have at our club!

Arteta would turn him into a functioning automon!!

Compared to the money we can spend in a position we need to cover more like 6 or a winger then signing yet another 10 is a waste especially as he isn't a natural 10

And I agree with you it should be Eze and someone else but this club is only going to have one marquee and that's it hence why I'm hesitant about Eze.
 
And yet that’s exactly what you just did with Don Pedro Don Pedro

Called him out for it commenting on a transfer (rumour btw)

This irony is forever lost on you. So strange

I called him out for continuous melting, not for discussing a transfer rumour

If we're gonna use a term like irony we need to understand what it means :thumbup:
 
Yeah lets commit to paying £120m for 5 years for players that will be fit 2 months into the season, good strategy

Seriously!?! Any player can get injured at any time. So we shouldn’t buy someone because they might get injured? You want Semenyo or Kudus, both of whom will cost more than Eze. What if they get injured? Would that be a waste also? If you’re complaining that Madders and Kulu are injured too often then it’s all the more reason to get a quality backup.

The point still stands that we should get a DMF, winger and a 10 but ENIC/Levy refuse to pay the money because they’re tight arses. Win the epl and cl. What a load of dung. If you’re going to talk the talk then pay up.

Thats how I see it yeah. I think Eze is far better than Semenyo/Kudus who are also realistic signings for us. Woolwich are linked with Rodrygo and Xavi Simons who I'd rate higher than Eze but both will want close to 300k a week which puts them out of our reach.
 
You’re looking at it through rose tinted glasses.
If those facts are Rose tinted then yes, they're still facts though.
He was epic for the final, but the start of the season he had some very poor performances. He seems to lose concentration too easily if it’s not a big game.
Every player has off games. VVD had some shockers for Liverpool last season, should they have sold him?

Back to the facts, when he's been available, particularly with VDV, we have top 3 form.
Giving interviews you want to move to La Liga and his instagram post on the day Frank was announced were clearly planned to indicate he wants out. You don’t need to read click bait articles to come to that conclusion as it was bleeding obvious.
I've read them. This was the question. “Which league that you haven’t played in would you like to play in, based on how you see it?”
He said La Liga as he hasn't played there yet.

I'm not foolish enough to think his heart belongs to Tottenham, but we've also tabled a contract extension. Until we see whether he signs that or not I'm not putting two and two together as I don't see anything he's said as a clear indication. You may be right, but my issue is that you're taking a lot of circumstantial evidence and moving right onto a verdict.
If he’s 100% committed keep him and sign a new contract. If he’s not sell and reinvest. It’s that simple!
On that we can agree 100%.
