The Zaniolo rumours are untrue as our HG problem doesn’t allow it.
Maybe if we get an English CB then we’d be able to consider it.
We broke the transfer record with Gascoigne in 1988. Signed Lineker from Barcelona, then Klinsmann 5 years later. The rot set in after that as Sugar had a hissy fit because Klinsmann left so quickly and he went full austerity.
Gazza '88: 2.2m (Scholar)
Lineker '89: 1.1m (Scholar)
Sheringham '92: 2.1m (Sugar)
Klinsman '94: 2m (Sugar)
We were pretty fucked when Sugar took over only for his bad business decisions and lack of vision to make it even worse.
He got a goal and assist in his last game playing on the right v Soton, and another 2 assists and goal from right v Watford.
Maybe not his primary position but has shown recently he can play there, and Chelsea are looking for similar kind of attacking players as us (after all we both wanted Raphinha).
We do our business and West Ham get their shot at the left overs.
Not a bad shout- a young Englishman could do well, especially with Rodon and Sanchez to guide him.
Does make you wonder that they didn't go all in on Lingard, he scored 9 in 16 for them and they ain't going to find a player who can score at that rate for what Lingard is looking for.
Slightly surprised if JT leaves but if so then his Italian agent has done well for him.![]()
'Total cost is €20m' - Price set for potential Tottenham exit, talks between clubs 'will remain alive'
After a lot of chatter about Tottenham talking Milan about Japhet Tanganga, details of the encounter have finally come out.

Gazzetta dello Sport are the ones providing them, explaining that Fabio Paratici called Paolo Maldini and Ricky Massara on Thursday to discuss the English centre-back.
The crux of the conversation was ‘how the deal can materialise’, with both sides seemingly agreeing that the ‘total cost is €20m’.
He played those games on the right..right forward in 433 v Watford, right AM in 4231 vs Soton...Not according to this:

That's a rather tenuous conflation.
Raphina is primarily a RW
Madison is primarily a CAM.
Would be well annoying playing monopoly with Barcelona. Just when you think you've got them on the ropes and they're going to have to start mortgaging their properties next time they land on you, they inform you that they've sold their next 20 "collect 200 for passing go" for money upfront and instead put a hotel on each of their propertiesAm I missing something or is this reckless beyond belief?
So they are selling the future money they will receive from TV deals, to a company that will give them the money now, and I assume the company gets more overall by the end than they are paying in a lump now?
So what do Barcelona do in 3, 4, 5 or 10 years time when they need money for signings and wages but are only receiving 3% of the money that they should be getting for TV because the rest has been handed over to this payday loan company?
Are they essentially just torpedoing their future so that they can scrape by today?

But how much room for growth do Barca have?
They are already huge in terms of football clubs, one of the top two, and all that they have to show for it is being nearly broke financially.

I used to spend a lot of time in the Oak Room around that time. One of the funny stories to come out was when TV replaced the dance floor at Scribes West and sent the bill to SpursI don't think Spurs would be a PL team today had it not been for Sugar.
That alone gives him a free ride as far as i am concerned. He backed his managers in the transfer market and was pretty much lied to and deceived by Venables throughout his time as manager.
Whether he sanctioned bad deals or not all Chairman do.
