I'm the last person to criticise someone for attempting to make a funny but there are occasions when it falls flat due to bad taste..do yourself a favour Mate and hold your hands up to a momentary error of judgement.
Christian Eriksen collapses again during Denmark friendly with match called off
Eriksen clutched his chest and fell to the ground during a friendly with Ukraine but is now ‘conscious’www.independent.co.uk
People can stop suggesting Eriksen, I guess.

That’s true. Apparently Ordonez plays RB for Ecuador, so maybe RDZ wants to channel his inner LegoHead and have the option of having him RB and Micky LB for some of the bigger games.
Nah.
He got up and walked off. He's ok, which is why I posted it.
If he was in actual trouble, obviously I wouldn't have.
The real reason we shouldn't bring him back is that he was beyond shit before he left.
We had a dabble at him last summer from memory. We should definitely be trying to do that deal at that level.
It was always the wrong move for him. He chased the money like so many before him. The move for him was Everton last summer. Had he done that he probably would have got 10/15 league goals and potentially a place on the plane to the World Cup with that kind of return.
First time he’s mentioned it?
Usually means he’s getting ready to milk the tap in for clicks
Isn’t that a good thing for a centre back?
Romero has proved that to us beyond all doubt.
I'm hoping for an Ornstein bomba today
Bundesliga attackers/wide players.
Bundesliga centre backs that have come to the premiership in recent seasons:
VDV
Gvardiol
Konate
Akanji
Rudiger
Matip
do your research before typing.
But now he has enough money to never work again - he’s grown up watching 99.99% of his mates getting cut along the way and going out into the real world, I get why it’s tempting to sign the huge contract and know you essentially don’t have to do fuck all between now and the end of time
Not a CB, but that Son bloke we got from Leverkusen did ok.
Lacroix as well who has been decent at Palace
De Zerbi did say he wants to keep Palhinha, which means the club need to pay Bayern, I don't know where all the money is going to come from to get all these positions covered in this transfer window. There's a large transfer debt, and the revenue isn't very much more than the operating expense of running the club/stadium.
• Total Revenue for the year increased by 7% to £565.3m (2024: £528.2m)
• Operating expenses (before player trading) increased by 15% to £521.5m (2024: £453.6m)
Financial results year ended 30 June 2025
The Club has today published its financial results for the year ended 30 June 2025.www.tottenhamhotspur.com
FYI in Spurs accounts the operating costs include £57m of depreciation (a non cash item) and elsewhere there is £141m of amortisation (another non cash item) of previous player transfer costs charged to P & L.
So in reality the 'cash' profitability of Spurs available for investment in new players is a lot more than you might think from those figures - especially as most players transfer costs are paid over 5 years (or length of player contract). So Spurs will probably budget to spend say £150m+ on new players from its own resources - with Lewis family on record as saying they expect to pump in more money this window, whilst amount is unclear we could ewll see total spend say circa £250m/£300m.
So we are probably good for the 2 free transfers (plus another cheap GK) plus say another 4 or 5 first team players (eg Van Hecke, Savinho, CM and another forward ........ provided we do not get sucked into paying fees of £80m on one player)
According to that Alex Crook on Talksport, Spurs have had a £70m big rejected, madness!
Yeh sorry forgot him.
Then there's also the players like Lovren and Kompany historically. It seems nearly every CB that came from the Bundesliga has done well making
dudu
point null and void.Alex Crook is a fuckwit with zero info on Spurs transfers
He’s regurgitated an old article about Van Hecke being “70m rated” then added in other news about bids being rejected and pretended that he has information on the transfer.
I don't know who dreamt up this nonsense about the Bundesliga being a farmers' league, but it's complete bullshit.Yeh sorry forgot him.

Klinsmann and Berbatov were decent as well IIRC.
