I don't see what all the hype is about.

Has a fit mom!
I absolutely don't get why people are so pumped about Watkins?!?! Just cause he is youngish and English?
He scored goals in lower level and in case of many goals he had so much time and room... And even then I did not feel that "Oh gosh what a brilliant solution".
I don't remember when it happened last time but I got bored even watching his highlight reel. Mediocre shots, soft headers and balls softly rolled next to the post. Combination of stronger defenders and better keepers, I think he would struggle in EPL.
Ofc I get that highlights are not all there is,but if even those are unimpressive.... I don't know.

He's a great modern forward.
Fair amount of flair, skill, technical ability and composure
While also being quick, strong, durable, agile and versatile.
This is the profile we recruited when we peaked. Athletic, strong and skillful players like Bale, Kane, Dembele, Walker etc.
tbf we are wanting him to come in as primarily a backup and someone who could be serviceable should Kane miss games. And his fee will be around 18-20m. He fills that role very well right now and could grow into a better player here.
I think she looks like a fucking tramp, tbh.
But doesn’t an injury count as a discount?Zaniolo apparently done his ACL playing for Italy tonight. At least we saved 50m there!
I know I said that. He didn't look fluid but it was only a 30s vid from you. I reserve full judgment and take your in the interim. I keep track of what I say and what you say. Like how you devised the plan for moving Harry on. I'm keeping track.
Good player but seems to get a big injury every season. Knowing our luck it would be at the same time as kanes usual injury. If he stays fit then Newcastle have got a bargain. But its a gamble.
With all due respect, nobody can take you seriously if you are calling Ollie fucking Watkins a great modern forward !
He's a reasonably young english prospect. That's it. Nothing great about him right now so let's not over-egg the pudding. Jesus christ!
We shall see. I think he see's it as a free hit with low expectations. Apart from a few optimistic spurs fans, no one is expecting much from us next season.
Exactly that. He has lowered his aim's now. Thats why he said 'we will be fine' rather than do well or something more ambitious. He has either lost his hunger or has seen the reality of the situation.
Sounds like me in the bedroom
Sniff some toe cheese, and calm the fuck down.
OFFICIAL CONFIRMATION: THE ANTI LEVY BRIGADE IS MUCH BIGGER THAN THE CULT OF LEVY :dierpochhug::fingers:
Lots of experts on Patson Daka it seems over the last 24/48 hours. 
From what I can tell the only person who ever really mentioned him and seemed to know what he was all about was ElTel back in June.
Hopefully a decent shout if he does turn up.

The reporting by David Hytner is that CE told Poch at a dinner in Denmark early in the summer that would have seen him with 2 seasons left on his contract. They knew, both Poch and Daniel. Poch specifically met him in Denmark to pursuade him to sign and CE told him in no uncertain terms that it wouldn't be happening. But that was the summer of nothing where we supposedly had tons and tons of money to spend.RESPECT THE COCK (****) has the article.
What Hytner actually says in that article is:
"Did Eriksen want to leave Spurs at that point? It is unclear. But what was plain to Pochettino was that the Dane was considering his next move and that involved putting into place a possible exit strategy, something over which he had control"
Here's a direct Poch quote from November 2018, a few months after that meeting:
"We're not worried -- in football I'm never worried -- but I prefer that he's going to sign the new contract and spend a long time with Tottenham. It will be fantastic.
Pochettino hopeful Eriksen will sign new deal
Harry Kane and Dele Alli have already signed long-term extensions at Tottenham, and Mauricio Pochettino would like Christian Eriksen to follow suit.
There are more from April 2019, with Poch saying the same.
What's actually been reported mostly was Eriksen was dicking around (which he's perfectly entitled to do) in 2018-19 keeping his options open. Even when he made his infamous post Denmark game comments about fancying something new he caveated it with something like "but I'm very happy at Spurs and if the right team don't come in then I'd happily stay".
The Eriksen situation was jus a fucking difficult one. Period. Pochettino didn't want to lose him. He said so. He flew to Copenhagen FFS. And I don't blame him, he was fucking pivotal and had been the most influential player along with Kane (more IMO) in Pochettino's time and was still relatively young, Levy was happy to offer him a bumper new contract, to help his manager keep a key player, or sell him if the right offer - what ever the fuck that was - from a club that Eriksen would agree to.
