@bonaspurs. Should be 'Bornayesterdayspurs'. I'm very glad I could be of assistance.

"Technically" you would be between breaths.

Holding one's breath amounts to breathing in, but no out.
Jeez! .......Even the currency converter you use is wrong.

$52 = £42.4m.



...And that price is according to?
You are correct. Using google for the exchange rate and it converted CDN$ To £.

The rest of the conversation is your opinion v mine. I can accept yours will not change and I can see why you are the most ignored member on this site. I like a debate and entertaining others views but this one has me very bored.

I assume this where you will make some snide comment about me or something I have said.

Find someone else to try and bully your opinion onto. I won’t wast any more energy being asked to prove my opinion when you do nothing to prove yours. I wasn’t even talking to you in the first place unless you are also ShadyDan.

Yawning 🥱
 
Sorry got to disagree. Gvardiol for me is a game changer. His signing puts us in the big league. Richarleson - not as good as Kane, Son or Kulu. Sterling behind Son. Raphinha - no better than Moura. Bastoni about as good as Davis. Hakimi the same. All good additions to rotate I'm sure. But Gvardiol really makes a statement. He is really an improvement.
I do agree that Gvardiol could be a game-changer. But he's yet to prove himself as an outstanding CB even in the Bundesliga. Yes, he had a good last season but he's not ranked as their best CB - yet. And remember, he's not that good in the air and his positional sense is lacking. For £60m+add-ons I'd be ready to sign him. Hakimi is one of - if not the - best RB/RWB around, and could certainly be a game-changer down the right flank for Spurs. Maybe even more of a game-changer than Gvardiol. And certainly a huge upgrade on Spurs' present RWB or any of the RWB Spurs have been linked with. Hakimi is time-tested - in La Liga and Seri A. But he's said he want to remain at PSG and have absolutely no need of selling him right now.

Best Bundesliga centre-backs of 2022 so far

Here are the best Bundesliga centre-backs of 2022 so far, according to Kicker.

Every six months, Kicker releases a ranking of the best players in the Bundesliga as well as the best German players abroad, dividing them into a number of categories.
Today, the German football magazine has released the first part of their summer rankings based on the performances in the second half of the 2021/22 season. Below, you'll find the centre-back rankings.

World Class:
1. Nico Schlotterbeck, Freiburg
2. Willi Orban, RB Leipzig

International Class:
3. Josko Gvardiol, RB Leipzig
4. Jonathan Tah, Leverkusen
5. Timo Hübers, FC Köln
6. Niklas Süle, Bayern
7. Mohamed Simakan, RB Leipzig
8. Philipp Lienhart, Freiburg
9. Edmond Tapsoba, Leverkusen
10. Evan Ndicka, Frankfurt
11. Timo Baumgartl, Union Berlin
12. Lukas Klostermann, RB Leipzig
13. Tuta, Frankfurt
14. Piero Hincapie, Leverkusen
15. Martin Hinteregger, Frankfurt
 
Yea, I would not mind.
But not for position that is among strengths of our squad.
And not for 20 yo player that has one year of top level experience.
And not for world record fee for such player.

I would be thrilled if we'd get Lautaro from Inter. Or Hakimi from PSG. Or Sterling from City. But not Gvardiol from RB Leipzig.
I don’t care what you think of the player, not what Levy thinks of the potential deal. If Conte and Paratici want him, let’s do it. He’s not gonna be on 15M pa so wages arent going to be prohibitive
 
Liverpool paid £40-45m for Jota who hadn't even scored 10 goals in a season (16 goals and 6 assists in 67 games for Wolves). In a better team he scored 15 goals last season. £60m is probably too much for Richarlison but if the figure is anywhere between £45m-55m for a prem proven player who can play across the FW3 then for me it's a no brainer.

Richarlison averages 11-12 goals per season at Everton. If he shows similar improvement to Jota in a better team (50%) and adds 16-18 for us in the league, that is a massive difference to where we've been at with Bergy/Lucas. It's not about adding the best player in the world or someone who's "happy to sit on the bench", it's about adding those extra few goals that takes us to the next level.

This. Also if Harry or Son get injured, we get a ready made premier league quality attacker in Richarlison ready to take their spot. He scored 11 goals in a dog shit relegation battling Everton last season. He single handily kept them up.

Ok i made a mistake on Hakimi but I really do expect Gvardiol to be a great player and I just expect Chelscum to get him

Pray tell what IS my opinion here?



I've asked you a question to back-up you own comments...... You dodged and dodged and eventually churned out a load of twaddle about Salah & Maupay.

.......And now you're sulking at me for being a bully even though your comments garnered ridicule from a large number of posters.

Cry more.

Raphinha no better than Lucas. Hakimi a good option to rotate. I like Gvardiol, but you're stretching credulity with those statements.
 
Was that the argument? No I don't think it was...the debate was Salah vs Kulu and you've turned it into what you think's gonna happen in 5 years time, pretty obvious we're talking here and now

Pitiful mental gymnastics nonsense 🤣

I know this is not the debate here...
But honest question - would you currently trade Salah with Kulu with all other aspects (basically salary / salary expectations) being the same as they are now?

I mean righ now Salah output and influence is bigger for sure. But at the same time, he has just few number of years to go and he will drop off at the same time as Son and Kane while Kulu could go on for us for 10 years...
