Nice to see a little bidding war going there. Now let’s get someone to sign off on an obligation and you’ve got a deal
Not exactly what I'd call a bidding war......
"Maybe we'll buy him later" - Meh.

Above average player with a poor attitude.Rabiot has 30 caps for the best national team in the world and has played 350 times for PSG and Juventus. He’s a fine player.
Tanganga’s agent posting wonder if he is off to Roma

Yes, I agree.Lol remember when Woolwich fans were absolutely insistent that Conte was just going to saddle us with a bunch of old players and then leave?
Since Conte arrived, age of players signed:
Kulusevski- 21
Bentancur: 24
Perisic- 33
Forster- 34
Bissouma- 25
Richarlison- 25
Lenglet- 27
Spence- 21
Udogie- 19
So basically just a backup goalkeeper and Perisic. And now we've signed one of the best under 21 LBs in the world to be Perisic's replacement when his contract ends.
Further, combining the purchases of Paratici's tenure:
Romero-24
Emerson- 23
Gil- 21
Sarr- 19
I mean we've essentially brought in a whole new generation of under 25 players, with the potential to still add Zainolo (23) and maybe another young CB before the end of the window. We're extremely well positioned with the group we have for at least five years. Kane and Son are always going to be impossible when they have to be replaced. But we have depth and youth at every position.
I posted the exact same link yesterday ...so you missed the chance then to have heard about him a day earlierNever heard of him. Anybody seen him play much before?

If Villarreal sign GLC & Ndombele, to join Foyth, Capoue and Serge Aurier (apparently there's an option in the contract he signed with them as a free agent), then they may as well fire Emery and hire Poch.
Emery isn't getting fired by Villarreal, so I wasn't seriously suggesting they hire Poch.I was going to funny this, but it actually wouldn't be a bad move for both. Not sure Villarreal could afford Poch's rates these days though.
Hah! Only 13 of those since spurs signed him though.Meh.
Sissoko has over 70 caps for France and played in a champions League final

But GLC & Ndomble were the players Poch demanded for his midfield rebuild. Juan Foyth was definitely a "Poch project", and has a decent chance of going to the World Cup.
Sissoko has 71... just saying. Oh and Rabiot has a personality like rabies. At least Sissoko is s good man.Rabiot has 30 caps for the best national team in the world and has played 350 times for PSG and Juventus. He’s a fine player.
Hah! Only 13 of those since spurs signed him though.
Anyone with eyes can see Rabiot is a player.
Most of those caps are 2010-13 when we were trash or selecting mostly for personality in the early days of Deschamps after the 2010 bust up. Sissoko only got 13 caps once he signed for spurs and France got properly good.Sissoko has 71... just saying. Oh and Rabiot has a personality like rabies.
Don’t need to - I’m minted.Mrs. Rabiot?
.....You working for free these days then?
