Fuck me. Rabiot for free (or a pittance if PSG wanted something in January for him a la the Holtby transfer) would almost justify the bald bastard sitting on his hands at the end of this window.
Almost.
Would be one of the best transfers we've pulled off in the past decade. Won't happen.
We have gone forward so much under Pochettino.
At just the moment when I thought we would hold our ground I feel we have regressed.
Even the best players in the world need to be.challenged.

We're not selling Eriksen. There would be a mutiny.
The Mirror linking with Rose with PSG and The Express linking Eriksen with PSG at around the same time we're linked with Rabiot from PSG. Hmmm...
With stadium delay following quickly on the heels of a surprisingly barren transfer window, I can't think of a better time to announce Eriksen's new contract. :avbpray:
Rabiot in a free would be worth a bonus signing fee of 20m or something like that. He’s really really good.
That would be suicide.
I don't think it has a chance this window.
I could see RM using a big bid to attempt to unsettle him in this window with an eye for a deal next summer (or possibly winter).
Looks that way. Which is a bigger deal than people realize. Poch rotates his fullbacks, he has to, it's the most physically demanding position in the system.
For all the thought that Rose essentially disappeared last year, he made 16 starts, 9 of them in the league and 3 in the CL. I'd expect to see at least that much of KWP playing out of position relying on his weaker foot if Rose goes.
I'm not really that pumped about seeing KWP at LB. He seems much less confident playing there than at RB.
Yes it gets him games, but at what cost to our defense, and at what cost to his long-term development?
Think I'd rather see Aurier filling in at LB with an eye towards letting KWP get those same starts at RB.
KWP could be our future whereas Aurier doesn't even look like he can beat out Tripps right now...

I tell you what, if I was a foreign club I'd be licking my lips about the money in the Premier League and the HG rule. If I was Dortmund, Lyon etc I'd constantly be sniffing out the English teams for talent not getting a look in, nurture them for a couple of years and watch teams bend over backwards to pay top whack for a player to help them with their HG quotas a couple of years after signing them. I think that's why we are starting to see a few English boys going over to the Bundesliga etc, these businessman aren't mugs.
If Griffiths or Sancho make it etc how much are they going to be able to charge Premier League clubs? A great low risk high reward model to get talent and turn it into serious money. This Bazunu will probably go to City but let's be honest, he won't be cracking the first team and City won't sell to another top 4 club so the lower level Prem teams or European clubs must be licking their lips whenever they catch an academy or u18 game

Would love for the answer to that question to be Bentaleb. His game as LB for us was absolutely magnificent.
Le Google
Doesn't sound a familar "Levy thing to do" to me. When was the last time he sold one of our best players without at least an attempt at a reasonable replacement? I really can't remember one.
Berbatov - Bent and Pavlyuchenko
Bale- Lamela, Eriksen, Chadli
Modric - Dembele
Walker- Aurier.
Sell one of the best players and not directly replace them? Well sure, but we never sign galacticos.
Last game of the season against Everton. Man of the Match.
