Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Actually wages have had a knock on affect for Liverpool, Kounate immediatly wanted a higher wage since they gave Salah a big pay rise

Utd have had problems with wages over the years, we are literally talking about Rashford being on big money and him being a problem

Chelsea have reduced their wage bill significantly as well

It's only Woolwich who have gradually increased, something that we should be doing as we look to improve, sticking Rashford on £350k a week which is nearly more than double of our current highest earner isn't the one.

We need to pay higher but we need to be sensible.
I agree, but would make an exception for Osimhen. He's still one of the best strikers around and would be a massive upgrade on what we have. Wouldn't touch the likes of Rashford and Leão with a pole though. Both heavily criticised due to low work rate, both would see us as a downgrade from their current clubs. Can't see any of them doing anything other than stealing a wage from us.
 
He is just unsustainable, his methods, his tactics, his demands

When his career is over he'll look at his pile of trophies and say he was a great manager

But hes basically a bloody good one night stand who then shits on your carpet before leaving the next day

Not a quality, fulfilling, long term relationship....

He has moments, not legacy

I think he has also shown it wasn't just us as opposed to it being very much him.

He did of course have significant personal trauma when he was with us. No surprise there.
 
Have you seen Marmoush play? If he's avaliable he's the best we can get. Marmoush is class, can play with the ball, very good dribling and finishing, different levep from the donkeys we have. I would pay even more than 300k/w if needed, he will put us on another level.

Going to display my ignorance for all to see...

...shows I dont watch huge amounts of City really so its not all bad, but....

What position is Marmoush?

People are putting him in here as a striker, I had in mind he was more an inside forward/#10 type

Although maybe thats just because of how Pep handled him

De Zerbi wants Rashford, not Lange/Vinai pushing it on him. That's good enough for me.

If anyone can get into a player, push them, demand from them, but make them feel the love - I think its RDZ

He has shown so far much greater capacity for soft skills than I expected

Honestly just thought he was a nut like Conte, but my view is changing rapidly there

Yeah agreed, clearly the exception.

Marmoush is basically like Son. He is really a LWF but he can play striker accepting he isn’t going to be great at holding the ball up.

I would love Marmoush to come to us. Class player.
 
Where are the links to Rashford coming from?

kingdawson kingdawson

Also seen a couple hints on X, but nothing else substantive

KD is the one saying theres something to it

I think he has also shown it wasn't just us as opposed to it being very much him.

That was tragic, and Ive no doubt really effected him - but honestly I think he was going to go the way he did regardless

Youd play him off the left?

Yes off the left with a good striker to play off of.
 
Why is he leaving Inter to join Spurs? Makes no sense
Name me the players for your summer wish list and I can also argue why those players wont come to Spurs… End of the day we got to sell the “project” whoever it is.


To specifically answer, football wise no - he may not want to switch. But financially, Inter want to raise 100m through Sales… and he also on 40k gbp a week deal…

So if we are ready to spend & move early - who knows
