Adiepf has no idea who's at Hotspur Way. Apparently on Twitter (not that I have that shit) he's been asking Gards who's there.
Gards said he doesn't know.
So how the hell Adiepf has the balls to put out a Tweet like that is beyond me.
There do seem to be rumours floating around of a mystery player being at the training ground but that's the key, it's a mystery player. No one seems to know who it is.

It’s obviously dogshit, but would be very fun to get a VdV style surprise signing. Someone like Coutinho. Or maybe Daniel worked out Dybala’s image rights.

I read somewhere that Bergwijn has played as a false 9 before. It would be very un-Mourinho to play with a false 9, but it can happen.

We already have 4 false nines, it isn't working.

As I may have said before, if I could I'd banish the expression from the language. All it means 99% of the time is that you're trying to patch a gaping hole in your squad with an attacking midfielder

It’s exactly the same in cricket, where they take any decent middle order batsmen and then stick him in at 3, where he proceeds to fail.

Completely different skill set.

Don’t sacrifice what is good about your players to fix a leak. It’s false economy.
 
Giroud would be the perfect signings if it wasn't for his links to chelsea and the scum but with the way modern football is I'd still take him here.

His experienced, can lead the line, proven and best mates with hugo.

I cant see chelsea selling him to us but it would be a great signing if we could pull it off.

A false nine is not a position an individual player plays, it is an entirely different way of setting up a team.

And it's probably pretty incompatible with Mourinhoball
