I don't know how true this is, but I've heard we've offered him a one year deal at £45k a week. His old deal was £100k a week, I think, so financially the new offer is much better for the club.
That is to much of a drop for me. I don't he wouldn't be used loads especially if everyone stays fit but he comes in handy and can be useful
Fair for his age, but not many players will take a 55% pay cut.
He'd be good to have back simply for having something different. But on the other hand, I'd love to see his minutes given to Troy the boy.
He's about as Basque as I am, they stretched the rules into a new dimension to classify him thus.
True, but he played for them before. Might come down to wages I guess.
Yeah, Bilbao don't HAVE to sign Basque players, there's no official law or rule.
Probably still a bit of bad blood there from the way he left perhaps
Basque heritage can only play for them. Think you're right about the manner of him leaving them before
Not entirely true.
Inaki Williams is Ghanaian for a start.
Their unwritten rule is you would either need to be born in the Basque Country or brought up through a Basque club.
You could be English, move to Spain as a youngster and be good enough to get snapped up to play for a small club named Leioa at a young age and you'd be eligible.
An example of this is Cristian Ganea who plays for them. He's Romanian and was born in Romania to Romanian parents...
Iñaki Williams is Spanish, he was born in Bilbao. Capped once for the national team. Ghanaian parents but that's by the by.
"We want Troy!".... "We want Troy!"
....C'mon Poch; show us that fabled 'faith in youth'.
Pay him what he wants.
If true, and what a big dose of salt to be taken, so many questions.
Does Pochettino know how to build a capable squad that can win things?
How can he put so much stock in one out and out striker, even if Kane were firing?
Has he had a dream that only Kane can lead us to glory?
Of posters in here who cannot see the need for another striker I just see lemmings and blind acceptance. That or they are football nincompoops.

Calling people nincopoops?... You sir, are a bounder and a cad!!
Cad - great word.
So we get linked to a striker and you spew out that rant?
Do you want Llorente of not? You didn't say.....
In the absence of a better option because as a club it is completely our blind spot, yep.
We need a physical option, which yesterday would probably have helped our cause for example.
