Manager of Forest. He does look a bit like a disgraced PE teacher though.
He will no longer be a family friend once Levy starts negotiating terms…
So, now we know why Bastoni and Martinez want to stay and why Hakimi is missing life at Inter and Lukaku is returning

Arguably our most important player for a while under Poch. Guarantees goals and assists from midfield. No brainer if we can get him, but you get the sense Conte has other priorities. It's a shame because Conte might not be here very long, and Eriksen could be a Spurs legend if he had a good second spell.

Hope we get another WB, sess is so injury prone. If we really have money to burn, we still need another elite CM, someone who can score/assist while offering decent defensive workrate.
£2 million and a tray of bread pudding then!

Key info:
Woolwich's bid is thought to have followed this evening but it fell well below Leeds’ valuation and is expected to be rejected out of hand.
After Barcelona, Chelsea are said to be Raphinha’s preferred destination and not only would a move there provide Champions League football but potentially also a better chance of winning major trophies.
Then come Woolwich — they play Europa League football next season — and Tottenham, who qualified for the Champions League and are considering Raphinha but he is not their first-choice option.
He’s not shined there, but he was never really suited to Simeone’s “safety first” style football.
I think Raphinha to Woolwich is looking likely:
-Barcelona too broke to afford his price
-Chelsea prefer Sterling
-Spurs prefer Richarlison
What a signing he would be! But Leipzig apparently wants around £75-80m+ for him, and I doubt Spurs are ready to pay that. And he's said he wants to stay at the club. Gvardiol & Romero (maybe add Zabarnyi as future CCB) would keep Spurs rock solid for the next decade.

You forgot he wants to go to Inter
People are going off Jesus
They may have comparable stadiums to us, but their ticket charges are lower and they have less corporate.
Utd's sponsorship is dwindling, whilst their share price has crashed. Their stadium is ageing, their training facilities dated...
Their CEO has gone viral chatting to some protestors about how he can't see where he's going to get the type of money they need to upgrade just to keep up with us, let alone City etc.
They're in a bad spot.
I’d be quite surprised if goons end up with both Raphina and Jesus.
No- this isn't accurate.
Ornstein didn't say Woolwich were his third choice necessarily; just that Barca were 1st choice and Chelsea were 2nd choice. After which he'd consider both Woolwich and spurs.
Given he wants CL football, he'd probably pick us over Woolwich; but as the article also said we prefer Richarlison so unlikely to enter into a bidding war.

United are in a bad spot, yes, and long may that continue, but they're still pulling in double the money we are, so it'll take a while.
Liverpool actually grew faster than us since our CL final.
The stadium is a great equalizer compared to the northern teams for the reasons you mentioned, but we still need to win big on the pitch to catch up to them.
We can never demand the 60m that Chavs got from Nike without winning PL/CL severa times, or having our shirt sales grow massively even without titles.
Honestly, I’m surprised there’s no rumours of PSG being interested in him.
