Get on the plane quick, Don P
Saying Spurs will sign a loanee, where we have an option to do so, when the loanee is becoming one of the best players in his position is little more than educated guessing.You obviously did not get my point.
Every time someone posts a Romano post he's a tap-in merchant and whatnot...but when others post the same, even later, no one bothers posting sarcastic remarks.
And you turned on your sarcastic mode when you saw Romano's name mentioned
ANYONE could put that out there and probably be right.
If it was an option why was he already on a long term contract? That don't make sense.
Romero signs from Atalanta | Tottenham Hotspur
We are delighted to announce the signing of Cristian Romero from Atalanta.

No reference at all to contract length
You also did not get my point though

I get your point. Others do arrive at the far post and knock one in from time to time. But they also occasionally bend one in from 35 yards in off the crossbar too.
Few are put on a pedestal as much as Romano is though..... And (some) people are beginning to question whether it is warranted.
He posts a lot more filler than he used to (which, granted, isn't helped by all the re-tweets by other people).

Everton are among ten clubs interested in signing Tottenham outcast Tanguy Ndombele on a loan-to-buy deal, according to a report from FootMercato.
Ndombele joined Spurs in a £60m deal in 2019 but has failed to make a positive impact at the club and was loaned back to Lyon for the second half of last season after Antonio Conte made him surplus to requirements.
With Lyon unable to afford him he returned to north London but with no future at the club, Everton are among a host of clubs across Europe who are interested in signing the 27-year-old.
However Everton, Aston Villa, Nottingham Forest, Marseille, Real Betis, Bayer Leverkusen, AC Milan and Galatasaray are also keeping track of the situation although they currently see a deal as too expensive.
Steer clear
Ndombele is exactly the type of signing that the club have been pushing to move away from in recent windows, and signing him would be a backwards step.
Despite his obvious talent on the ball, Ndombele has struggled with the pace of the English game and with his massive wages and the fee Spurs would demand to make it happen it should be a non-starter.
Everton
The addition of Amadou Onana plus the reportedly imminent arrival of Idrissa Gueye should see the midfield strong enough for the coming season and he’s simply not needed.
While he would definitely add creativity and quality to the side, the rest of his game doesn’t suit what Everton want or need in that area and it would be a statement signing for no reason.
Talented? Yes. Needed? No. This is one fans shouldn’t get excited about and the club should stay well away from if they have any sense.

Get less legs than Heather McCartney
Retrospectively spending 0 in 2 windows was brilliant move.
After that money was trusted to clueless idiots and we literally lost close to 200 million euros.
Would have been much better off without waste of oxygen that are Ndombelly and LoCelso.
White, Devine and their mates getting minutes would have put club into better position than the "star players" we got in.
Though I agree- at the time, not spending money was frustrating and hard to understand (apart from stadium completion needs)...
Great Post
I think it was reported as an option which became an obligation if certain targets were hit.
Doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things - he's been a very good loan signing, and delighted we are converting that to a permanent signing at, what seems to me, a bargain £41m for a 5 year contract.
I think Cote would bite the hand off anyone offering another CB who was as good as Romero at either LCB or CCB
Signing number 8 now, brilliant
Perisic
Foster
Lenglet
Spence
Richarlison
Bissouma
Sarr
Romero
What a summer
sarr?
How do you say "IN THE MUD" in Estonian?
As designated Estonian in this forum, I am sure I can help you with this
In the mud is "mudas".
But actually in here when we talk about poor quality leagues the term we use is "in the league of mud" which translates to "mudaliigas" in Estonian
. But generally speaking - Paskotši has been definite starter for the senior NT, but overall the team level is poor. And obviously mostly involved in defending. I was happy that he was involved in the squad for some cup games, but given that Spurs has Royal, Spence, Doherty on the RWB position and Maksim was not involved in preseason either, it seems that his ship has sailed.
Dude, don't use google translate for small languages..
Your version is not an actual word in Estonian
but if I would have to interpret this then "onakas" might be some weird slang translation to "wanking" so translating your translation back would be something like "he wanking". P.S you can trust me - Estonian is my native language
Yup, I was told Udogie doesn't count this Summer as he will join the team next season so Sarr counts as a Summer signing
We sold our most valuable assets, yet that did not prevent us from climbing up the table year after year to the point that not making CL, a dream when we had these valuable assets, is now deemed a failure. And, in spite of the lack of trophies, Levy still grew the financial muscle and stature of the club. Not winning trophies was more due to factors other than Levy's stewardship, as we did make a few finals, and a CL one, at that!Don’t like to disagree without adding a reason as to why, and I recognise what follows is highlighting a lot of the “negatives”
So as I see this, Levy / ENIC took over the forth most successful club in English football history. In 22 years they have seen tangible success once. They have gone close a couple more times.
In that period of time they have gone through more than 10 first team coaches. Various directors of football and hundreds of players. They have sold three of their biggest assets in that period setting the team back years when doing so. They once sold Keane and Berbatov in a single window. Madness. Sold Bale and replaced him with much that was questionable.
They hit gold with a coaching team and then managed to kill the golden goose with baffling decisions. Selling Dembele and replacing him with ?? Window after window failing to buy a striker. Jose for the sake of Amazon. Ridiculous.
The stadium was ultimately a success, but for a good 5 years it was a total farce. And it was how many millions over budget ?
On the more positive, they have done a lot for the local community in recent years, they are majorly promoting the club in evolving markets and they do seem very much to be learning lessons, so maybewe will ultimately find the good outweighs the disappointment.
But all this takes time. Arguably that time could have been shorter. The stadium could have been built earlier getting us to the point we are now sooner, but there were impediments that were outside of Levy's control. But we're here now. And it was worth the fucking wait.
