preface this by saying I think he probably ends up with us, but...There isn’t any reason why Eriksen would go to United. Ten hag went to Ajax ages after Eriksen left them for us. Zero convection whatsoever
for me Dembele had a strange, almost unnatural way to play and move. So strong physically, insane balance, didn't need huge speed. Not really seen much of that in other players, not sure we will again for a long time but Bissouma can go a long way to filling that void, and at £30m it's a snip
Adam Crafton of the Athletic reporting that us and Woolwich are interested in Raphina, and that Barcelona are unlikely to pursue him for financial reasons. Also mentions our interest in Richarlison, and that it would be a case of Richarlison or Raphina, not both.
I really like Raphina, he's obviously class. I don't really see him playing anywhere but RW though, has anybody seen him play effectively on the left? Richarlison probably fills more gaps for us imo.
I was very critical of Paratici early on. I have to swallow my pride and say I was completely wrong. Sorry. Fabio...!
Probably Paratici doing his usual thing of keeping lots of irons in the fire at the same timeAdam Crafton of the Athletic reporting that us and Woolwich are interested in Raphina, and that Barcelona are unlikely to pursue him for financial reasons.

Winks to Bissouma may be the biggest upgrade of a shirt number (8) we’ve had in a single window in yonks
I renewed but was convinced we'd blow 4th and then not back Conte and next season would be "difficult" and as a result, my last.So - To all you losers that didn't renew.. I told you you would regret it and said don't come crying to me. :contelol:
His loyalty to the club is nothing more than knowing fully well the bench at Spurs is the high point of his career from now on.In all fairness to Winks, if he can't see his limitations as a "top four" midfielder then he should now.
Love his loyalty to the club, but to be successful at this level there is no room for sentimentality.
I think Raphinha is a better player than Richarlison, although the latter is more versatile, which would be better for our squad depth.

Yves Bissouma: Tottenham Hotspur agree £25 million fee with Brighton & Hove Albion for midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a deal worth in the region of £25 million with Brighton & Hove Albion for Yves Bissouma.The 25-year-old midfielder is set to signwww.thetimes.co.uk
Should Bissouma complete his move to Spurs, Antonio Conte wants at least four more signings, including two defenders, a creative midfielder and a forward. He would like them to arrive before the club’s tour to South Korea in the middle of July to give him the chance to work with them in pre-season. Tottenham are quietly confident of securing Christian Eriksen’s return as a free agent after the midfielder’s short-term deal at Brentford. Tottenham have an interest in Richarlison, the Everton forward.
Conte wants to offload around eight players including Sergio Reguilón, Emerson Royal, Steven Bergwijn, Giovani Lo Celso and Tanguy Ndombele. Ajax offered £17 million for Bergwijn, around £8 million less than demanded by Tottenham. Emerson has had interest from clubs in Spain. Villarreal have had talks to turn Lo Celso’s loan into a permanent deal which the Spanish club hope will be worth £16 million plus £5 million in add-ons, which is less than Tottenham want.
I've always wanted to do the Pacific coast from Seattle to San Diego on a motorcycle. Top of my list for the coming years.It actually drives me bananas when I read/hear people repeat nonsense they learned from Top Gear about America. Don't hate me for being a tourist but I did the pacific coast drive and it was epic. Better than anything I've ever done in the South East of England. I suspect the best I could do in the whole of the UK is the NC500 and I'm not really up for driving 500 shitty miles to do a 500 mile fun drive to then drive 500 shitty miles back.
Apart from the corporate made up job title, I like the idea of Simon Davies coming back to Spurs....Summary:
- Gretar Steinsson - Performance Director.
- Andy Scoulding - Assistant.
- Dean Rastrick - Academy Manager
- Simon Davies - Head of Methodology (ensuring a closer synergy between the first team and academy levels.) <<<< This sounds great!
- Chris Powell - Head of player development in the academy
