He’s also one of those strikers that’s always involved in play and looks dangerous if that makes sense? Goals aside, he’s an effective player

Fair enough
just don’t shoot the messenger, I’m a mere pleb coming with tidings from other lands!That escalated quickly…Close. Mine are both dead
Times are really sticking to the one!
I get what you're saying but there are specific metrics and consultancies out there that specialise in the commercial impact of things like the Messi signing. They can look at social reach, mentions, sentiment, volume of global news coverage, internet searches and trends, global TV audience, etc.
In fact the more I think about it, it's very easy to quantify and assign a value to it.
It's used to negotiate sponsorship deals and is very common place.
That's all well and good, but we need agreement with the player too. Otherwise it will be another Kounde situation.
We are very good at agreeing terms with either the player or their club but rarely both at once.
makes sense with martial move, excited with this signing think hes very much in the aguero mould just needs to work on finishing but everything else is grade a
He's not letting this go, is he?
I had never heard of him before the Martinez "scoop" so I suppose he is milking his 10 minutes of fame.
Link doesn't work so maybe his bosses are smacking his bum.
The Telegraph has lost credibility and now maybe The Times, too?
Hopefully we aren’t going this far down the road on it without having gauged the player interest first.
If it comes down to it I honestly would prefer this:
[FORMATION=4231, Lloris, Tomiyasu, Romero, Lacroix, Reguilon, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Bernardo Silva, Lo Celso, Son, Martinez, ][/FORMATION]
Than this:
[FORMATION=4231, Lloris, Tomiyasu, Romero, Sanchez, Reguilon, Skipp, Hojbjerg, Lucas, Lo Celso, Son, Kane ][/FORMATION]
I love Kane, and I want him to stay but if he wants to leave as badly as it looks and City are coming in with 130m+Silva AND we have Martinez as an option then there is a clear logical step.
IMO then we can give Skipp a year to grow in the midfield, we balance our finances, stock up the defence, bring in a few quality younger players and still have a bit of cash left over to have something in the tank for next year.

Lukaku wouldn't have scored a fair old chunk of his tally without him, the way they set up is Martinez runs off the ball creating space for Lukaku, Martinez also dropping deep into the 10 pocket (very Kane'esq).
It's just the same news as yesterday.
Jacob is a good reporter who very rarely breaks anything. Not sure if that means he has very few contacts, or if it means he’s extra picky about what he chooses to break, but he’s definitely not a bs artist (at least not compared to most of the clickbait hacks out there).
I agree. I totally agree. We should.
We won't, but we should.
Yep. Just not the high profile ones we want.
Close. Mine are both dead
Conversation = shut down.
It almost feels as though the subsequent 24 hours of dismissal haven't happened
Well like I said, we did the same thing with Kounde.
It's always going to be tough to persuade top players to come to Tottenham, not impossible but tough.
Indeed, and regardless how much money he has tucked away now, he would be able to live a life in wild luxury for the rest of his life, also after football, just by income from the brand that is his name.
Inter are fucked financially. I think many of their players if shown a way out the door they will explore it with vigour.
Oh of course, but the line re Kounde was always that he saw us as a backup to RM and the Chavs, while Sevilla were more keen on our offer because they wanted Sanchez.
Definitely going to be tough to convince top players, I agree, but with so much of Europe being screwed financially we may actually be on a decent footing for once.
I think so too, not many top players will want to stay at Inter if they are going to sell everyone decent.
We need three at the back. Neither of those two are full backs
