Good, get it done today. Can't be bothered with another deadline day waiting for signings to come through.
Haven't we been negotiating with Bournemouth for about a week or so? I seem to remember that
Nah they are currently losing their shit about missing out on Sancho, and are now turning their noses up at the prospect of signing ismaila sarr the frauds
You might find CCV is used as part of the deal - experienced CB in Championship so a natural replacement
And Davies. I assume he's playing for Wales already? I've never heard of him, to be honest.
Couldn't they do it tomorrow if the EL deadline is tomorrow?
Yeah and send Clarke there on loan also.
So, the general view is that Ally Gold is - essentially - a trusted media channel for Spurs, and is often deliberately fed pieces of information the club want in the public domain.
His recent tweet includes the following about Joe Rodon:
"Also some concerns over recent ankle problems. "
So is Ally making this up? Unlikely, I would suggest.
Alternately then, do Spurs want this "concern" out there as part of Levy's negotiating tactics to lower the price?
Fundamentally, if we do have concerns about Rodon having suffered ankle injuries, we aren't going to sign him without a rigorous medical. And there's almost certainly not time to do that before tonight's deadline.
Yeah. I think they will drop off a lot this season but no one there to capitalise. If they had there best team yesterday then maybe would doubt them. But still got mane, allison, Henderson, thiago to come in. & even matip is a big upgrade on gomes. If they get a few key injuries & less luck then maybe someone can overtake them. Still have to be favourites? City are in a mess.
We have 11 days to sign him anyway.
And if we can't sign him before the EL deadline, he only misses the group stages.
Fair play. Was that ITK or a punt ?
Rodon is a decent prospect, but he's no world beater and not what we need right now anyway. He's right-footed and let's be honest we're more in need of a left-footed CB. Also, what'd be the point of signing a guy who's only got C'ship experience and not even a lot of it? May as well have kept Foyth or give CCV a go. Yeah yeah he might develop into a great CB in future, but he's already 22 and so far he's not really set the world on fire, has he. If we can get him for 5 or so mil and they take CCV off our hands, then yeah worth a pop, but if not I think we can defo do without. Keep the dosh in the safe til we can get the beast we need. And of course...don't you go spend 18 mil on him, Dany boy! That'd literally undo all the good work done this window
Its the 'NotSwanseaCity' twitter header that makes me doubt its authenticity !
