Edging closer, meaning, another 3 weeks of this.
I stand by what I said.
I don't like these threads, and I've expressed my reasons why.
Not looking for a cunt off. I'm TELLING you, not DEBATING with you.
Nice try though.
Doesn't look like I'm alone with my thoughts on these kinds of threads either, so guess what...deal with it.
Also I don’t post on Christmas Day. So it’s only 364 days a year!

Summarising all the chatter on various sites, it seems that he's decent with the ball at his feet, but otherwise unremarkable. Reasonable price is around £20m, so we're not going near that 40m they're asking.
Looks like we can do better, but if we're playing up front, maybe his weaknesses won't be so relevant (until we play top teams, and then what?)
Oh well, beggars can't be choosers.

Where did you get that from?
His outstanding stats and performances have been shot stopping and commanding the box, claiming crosses and shit.
The long kicking is the bonus.
It's tough to take from Brentford fans, but they aren't wrong though are they?Gone Out on Loan - David Raya (to Arsenal)
Really, what is it that Tottenham don't understand. I cannot see this discussion lasting very long. Would be great if another club showed interest to help provide some focus for Tottenham.griffinpark.org
“Going to Spurs is like entering the cul-de-sac of football.
As a player you are never going to win anything of note as the cul-de-sac leads nowhere.
Having realised that it’s almost impossible to reverse quickly out of a deal once made.
Plus, you suddenly realise that the only Spurs player who matters, Kane, is waving farewell to you, as he leaves in the opposite direction!”

And staying at little Brentford gets you where? Arrogant small time idiots. Actually can’t believe we are getting bantered by clubs of this magnitude.
What is up with these small club fans and their arrogance? Exactly same with Brighton fans. They have 1 good season in about 50 years and suddenly Raya to Spurs isn’t a step up and they are talking about trophies etcjust incredible
Pity nobody understands anything in this post.
Hugo will be allowed to leave on a free, as he should be.
Brentford is in South West London, Spurs are in North London, that’s definitely a step up.
Ties into the bias against us. Now fair play to wham for winning it, they set out to win it and they did but it kind of fucked their league campaign and they were in bottom 7 all season ( never looked like going down because other teams are shit).
If we done that (won ecl and finished 16th we won’t be savaged in the media)
Our CL moment has come and gone, if we are lucky, perhaps the same trophy as WHU or Europa at a push, we can dream.
Are brentford a sideways step? Just because they finished 1 place below us? Sorry but they are 100% wrong. We are 3x the size and pull of Brentford despite our turmoil at the moment
Of course not, we are obviously bigger than Brentford. I should have articulated better.
When I said they aren't wrong I was talking about them asserting that joining Spurs is a career cul-de sac.
For me that part of what they said was spot on.
We don't do trophies at this club anymore *
*unless you leave or go on loan and then you are virtually guaranteed one
Fantastic shot stopper from what I've seen. His all round game seems fine too. 27 is a terrific age for a keeper. Basically there's a lot to like about this potential signing.
Just an aggregate of opinions from here, reddit, twitter, and others*. Their criticism of his stats were that he faces less xG than others (i.e. saves easier shots?) and his pure numbers were higher because *mumble* facts and shit. I can't recall, but that was my take-away. He's no prime Lloris as a shot-stopper but is better in other way. Ways we will need with Ange. But not for £40m.
* Not sure how useful it is, but the comments section on sofifa is always interesting to get cross-team banter about upcoming transfers.
I'm reading my previous post back and it sounds quite negative, which I wasn't really intending, just reigning in expectations (which I find myself doing a lot at the moment!). If I can para-phrase myself: "Looks like we can do better for that money". i.e. I think he's solid for £20m, but £40m would be too much.
Just In: Looks like £20-25m is the new price! Woohoo!
