If Oliver Skipp is Mcdonalds does that make Gallagher Burger King or Five Guys? Because personally if we're not out there shopping for Five Guys level midfielders I simply can't sign off on it.
I can’t see anyone taking a chance on Sessegnon apart from if The Chartered Society of Physiotherapists need a training aid!
That's Levy's fault. Fuck him the bald cunt. Or something to that effect.
Cheeky calling Nando's safe, you got that right
He's shocking defensively, his best chance of playing regular football is moving up the pitch to LW and trying to become a traditional out-and-out winger, though he's going to end up going down levels to find a club that wants one of those. Might need a standout season in the champo to find his way back to a PL team. Needs to stop being so gunshy if that's the move though, seemed to get into good positions but never pull the trigger on the cross or pass when he played LB for us.
Still waiting for someone to say N'Dombele is KFC...
TND was definitely a Wimpy burger in a Five Guys wraper.
No thanks.

Tottenham may have been handed their chance to sign summer target Gift Orban on the cheap, with KAA Gent now open to a sale.
That’s according to Het Laatste Nieuws, who cover the player today and how the decision not to sell in the summer has come back to haunt the Belgian side.
They explain that the former Promise of the Year had the chance to move in the summer window, with Lille making him a priority to replace Jonathan David, Tottenham in the mix because their scouts were ‘convinced’ and Fulham making a bid after losing Aleksandr Mitrovic.
Gent, though, resisted all bids as, bolstered by a capital injection of €11m from brand new owner Sam Baro, they didn’t need the money from a sale.
They were convinced Orban could build on his highly impressive first season and keep his value rising so demanded €30m, a figure which no club, even Tottenham with the money from Harry Kane’s sale, wanted to pay.
Orban remained but has struggled ever since. The goal machine has ‘stalled’, even in training, with 12 goals in 29 games in all competitions considered a big drop off given he managed 20 in 22 last season.
That’s seen his market value plummet, with him now valued at €15m by the likes of Transfermarkt, and Eintracht Frankfurt recently quoted €20m by Gent.
According to HLN the Belgian side are now ‘open to a sale’ in this market, albeit if they can get the right price and find a replacement first.
Thus, the opportunity is there for Tottenham to potentially get their man. Their scouts were reportedly ‘convinced’ by the striker when watching him last season, it was only his price that stopped a deal happening.
That figure has now dropped considerably and with their forward like still lacking an out and out striker, Orban could still fit the bill and now fall into the budget too.
Of course, his drop in goal ratio isn’t a positive but then, who better to get him firing than Ange Postecoglou, the man who has apparently revived the struggling Richarlison?

He's only scored 3 in the Belgian league this season, if his head has gone because he didn't get the move he wanted in the summer then I don't think he's got the kind of mentality to fit with our group tbh. Definitely a "wait and see" player, if he's up for peanuts he's probably not worth it anyway.No thanks.

I watched some full matches of him this past summer and he looked completely useless for 99% of the match. Short as fuck offering no holdup play whatsoever. Literally just a goal hanger with a big appetite for shots. Cannot believe our fans were twerking for him those were dark dark days.No thanks.

This isn't Maddison's first season in the Prem. He had 19 g/a last season in 30 matches for a relegated team.

Reguilon's contract ends in June 2025, hope the loan includes an obligation to buy at a sensible price (eg £30m+ for a Spanish international PL experienced LB is not unreasonable )

Yep.
I've been thinking of it in terms of elements.
Since Son, Biss and Sarr are out, we're missing three particles (one positive (attack) and two negatively charged, defence), making us an unstable isotope looking for new partners to provide stable chemistry. Some samples are being tested:
Gallagher is like oxygen. Boring, but everyone needs someone like him to get shit done. He's highly reactive as he has a lot of bonding opportunity, but since he's a servant to all, his loyalty is suspect.
Dragusin is like silver. It might not be the most shiny of new toys, but it's got class and cleans up a lot of unpleasant shit before it turns bad. Hopefully he also won't mind being left in the cupboard 'for best'.
We're also missing a positively-charged proton, thanks to a high-energy collision with January.
Werner is like sodium; popping and fizzing without much control. Fuck it, chuck him in there and grab the popcorn Sure, it might not last, but at least it will be fun!
Dier was a neutron. So, yeah, we're good.

Nobody is going to pay that for Reguilon. A player who is sent back early from their loan is not worth £30m. We can probably get £10m for him, which is fair. He has been injured for most of the last 18 months and Conte, Simeone, Ange and Ten Hag haven’t been impressed with him.
