I get where you're coming from. I want him at the club cos he'd be useful and a free transfer. Not really gonna be singing his name.
Being a free transfer obviously makes it more appealing for sure but I am not just going to forgive a year of poor performances and faux pressing just because of what has happened since then. There's more than one creative midfielder in the world and I would like to see a fresh face in that role for us.
 
100%. So simple so not flashy but so effective.

He makes things look so easy and his movement is far from graceful so it’s easy to be deceived that he is ordinary but I think he is fantastic.

I've seen him shut down so many top midfielders, for club & country.

“He was on the bench and he said to me – because we had a chat about the final – ‘We couldn’t believe when he (Rice) came off because we thought he was the best player they had, immediately we thought he was injured or a problem like that’.

That's what Salvatore Sirigu said after the Euros. He's brilliant. But some people need a flashy name to be impressed.
 
Any danger of keeping SC shit out of here? I genuinly couldn't give a shit what nonsense people like Hercules say, how their admins behave or how much of a laughing stock they are to the wider Spurs family. I'm on TFC, the only Spurs forum I need. If you need to talk SC, find a thread about them and stick it in there. Thank you.
 

Feels like unless we make a serious approach for Pau Torres we will have to try and find a different club to shift GLC on to, despite a CL semi run I would wager that Villarreal are as skint as the rest of the clubs outside the big 4 in Spain and even our lowest acceptable figure to "cut our losses" on him is causing them to baulk at the price, not to mention his wages will be considerably higher than most of their first XI.

Any word on if Conte wants Pau Torres? Seems like a very realistic move to include GLC and cash for him if that is someone Conte wants.

Assuming Torres is open to the move that is.
 
After Grealish, he’s the most overrated, overhyped player in the PL.

I’m not saying he’s shit, he’s not, but the hype around him is ridiculous.

Just about every team in France has a player like him in their midfield. Good physique, decent athleticism with some football ability.

Villa just picked up one for free in Kamara. Very similar player type and attributes. There's a bunch of others with similar profile.

This is all very well and good but how many of them then come here and struggle......?
