You NEVER buy the cheap toilet paper. Dafuq is wrong with you?
We don't get him though but at least Levy tried
Do you remember that deadline day where we whored ourselves over Spain and pretended we were serious in trying to sign half the country's centre forwards at the last minute - Llorente, Aqüero, Negredo, Rossi...
How people laughed here
Don't be so negative. We can always sign Lewis Cook.I can't see Rose going at this point. I fear United will get Toby and probably offer us Smalling or Jones as a makeweight, certainly not Martial. Dembele will leave but this will be abroad after the English window has closed so we run the risk of not signing a replacement. Pray Amos and Skipp are ready and Winks returns from injury!
Zaha now being linked with Chelsea. I can see that deal happening whilst it wouldn't shock me if Grealish decides to stay at Villa at least until Jan.
Where does that leave us? Fuck knows. We may end up being offered someone at one of the major European clubs, possibly a Draxler at the last minute. We don't get him though but at least Levy tried.
:-(
It's a joke now.
Just think about it for a second, Toby has 2 years left on his deal and rejected a new contract. Next summer he can go for 25m, that's him gone. Vertonghen has 1 year left on his deal, no extension. That's him gone. Eriksen has 2 years left on his deal and hasn't signed an extension. We are royally fucked, not only are we probably going to lose 3 of our best and most important players, we're hardly getting any money for them either
Kovacic has been the guy I've wanted Spurs to go after most in this window. He'd instantly improve our central midfield. But, we either need to shift 4 non HG players to accommodate him I believe (for CL) or just go after HG players (which seems to be the tactic) so I've resigned myself to that dream transfer not happening.

Bid for Kovacic ffs Levy!
You came this close to saying "a season of transition" there, didn't you?Now you are making my weird logic come to life...
I found it funny that our supposed targets suddenly became "Not for sale this year". Barrios, N'Dombele and De Ligt. Could we have struck deals like Liverpool did with Keita where players will come in next season after we get our HG quota up this?
I reckon he could be coming to us! Just a feeling I have in my ice analyzed waste waters!Cook is alright and had potential but it's not a signing that will have our rivals shaking in our boots.
I'm wasn't so keen on our signing any more Croatians but now I no longer give a shit. I think Kovacic's wages will be a problem and can see him going to Citeh or someone like Juve.
Kovacic is on 80-100k per week, probably 80k . He doesn't givee a shit about wages, he just want to play regulary.Cook is alright and has potential but it's not a signing that will have our rivals shaking in our boots.

I seem to remember it being €50,000 a week after tax, so yeah, you're in the right areaKovacic is on 80-100k per week, probably 80k . He doesn't givee a shit about wages, he just want to play regulary.
