Trying !! It all become very bloody trying
I well remember the stink of embrocation in the dressing room when I played football a century ago but what are the actual current rules about what players can smear on themselves?
I know people are jesting about the baby oil but if Traore has it smeared on his arms you would imagine that would make it difficult for an opponent to grab them. What if he smeared it all over his shirt?

Every window its the same. Tedious in the extreme.
I swear this is part of the issue at times.
By the time a player arrives, it's taken so long our expectation has gone off the scale.
And so it's hard to be satisfied.

Not sure you’re allowed to grab players, smeared in oil or not…
True, but you're not allowed to trip players either but it happens all the time.
Just wondered if there was a rule about the oil..or even is embrocation allowed any more
Probably have to refer it to our pitch side ref for an expert view…True, but you're not allowed to trip players either but it happens all the time.

(Not a clue - would probably smell nice, tho)
I'd imagine it will be another loan deal with the option to buy
Foxtons FC.
People do it anyway so I think Tottenham needs a new jersey - one with fabric that self lubricates.
Ideally it self lubricates more when we're losing. We'll be plenty lubed up all the time.
Probably if Levy has anything to do with it
Freemans Stadium.
And always seems to end up dragging on right up to January 31st and, hey presto, suddenly it's the only signing we make in the window and we're supposed to ignore the two/three other holes in the boat that needed plugging.
I refuse to believe that this one in particular couldn't be done in the first week.
Agreed with you all the way up to the last bit. Would be interesting to see a Traore and Bergwyn donk off.
Spurs are the only club on the planet that makes you excited and looking forward to a potential signing, to hating and despising the cunt in the space of 2 weeks. That’s what this bald bastard Levy does to you
And these 'negotiations' have been going on for traore since the summer. We have the worst negotiators in the league.
Not really...Wolves have been waiting to get someone in which they have now:
Promising winger Chiquinho signs for Wolves
Wolves have signed promising winger Chiquinho from Portuguese side Estoril.
