Are they going to try to have some Luxury Loan Army situation here?
They can corrupt the sport beyond recognition, but I would be surprised if they're allowed more than 11 men on the pitch.

There's still some people who admire and respect Poch btw.

What we want in order of preference is probably
- permanent sale for decent fee
- loan covering all wages with obligation to buy at decent fee
- loan covering all or majority wages.
Rennes manager knows Ndombele from from when Ndombele at Lyons.
Fingers, toes and everything else crossed
This is true. It would require UEFA initiating something broadly. It’s a pipe dream, but all the outrageous transfer fees and wages are getting fucking ridiculous.
you see how quickly they move onto their next target.
Knowing Rennes, it'll be a dry loan, unless we can arrange some sort of swap with Doku.
I will always admire and respect what he did for this football club, the prime Poch years were something special and any fan should be proud of what we achieved under him.
However he is employed by a scum club run by a scumbag and Saudis at that. Chelsea are the lowest of the low, criminals in a sport of criminals, fraudsters in a sport of fraud.
They (and their fans) are truly the dregs of humanity and that’s just a fact, not an opinion.
They have Doku as well?
Someone should tell Boehly he hasn't bought an NFL team, how many players does he think he needs?
No; he is banned for doing certain tasks.......
He resigned as DOF and is now working for us as a consultant..... He's still working "in the sport".
...And now you're back to chucking about bluster.... Name calling isn't gonna win you a debate that you had lost from post #1.
Yup... Like I said from the start.... Childish.
Being under federal investigation doesn't make you a "criminal" regardless.
Why, rather than just climb down from the jazzy rhetoric and un-puff your chest straight away, must you turn this whole thing into what's become little more than an English lesson?
Can we be done now pls.......... Exhausting.
Would we have to try to strike a deal with Bordeaux if we wanted a more full bodied, fruit-forward loan?
Cos the internet just said so!
Steady on old chap!
Are Chelsea doing a 'Jimmy Savile' ...and hiding their crimes in plain sight?
Why is no one ONTO this?
Absolutely. Did an Incredible, Fantastic job for us with his hands tied for 5 years. Such a shame we sacked him instead of backing him.
What's really strange is that there are still a few Spurs fans who admire and respect Daniel Levy
Romero is 25, VdV is 22 and Tabsoba is 24.
Seeing as we're only likely to be playing two of them, and haven't got CL rotation needs, I'm not sure why we'd spend another £60-80m on a centreback. We've seen in the past that young players signed for potential who don't play, quickly lose a ton of value. Far better to sign a solid experienced defender as cover for one of the main pairing and to assist with their development. I've said it before but signing Naybet made Ledley a better defender.

Did we not move on from Raya and sign Vicario a week later?
Or did I imagine this?
I'd prefer Eze - known quantity with PL experience, versatile and HG as well (we are short of 'quality' HG's )
Yep. Brilliant coach, did wonderful work for us, wanted to come back to us and we turned him down.
What happened next he can’t be blamed for.
You would make an excellent Inquisitor, I only have to see one of your long assed rambling, dry posts and a part of my soul quietly dies."Denial"
This is incredibly ironic as you have effectively dredged up the exact same conversation you and I had yesterday (i.e. how that gap over 5 years might actually be accounted for if one looks beyond the lazy 'tight bald cunt theory'); which led us down exactly the same path.... With me left asking you exactly the same question, which after a fair few hundred words expended, led to you doing your best Sunak impression of answering the climactic question with a reductive, deviating question in order to evade the point being made to you all along.............. And then disappearing to chat about something else, cos once unpacked, the convo took you somewhere you hadn't planned on being.
Quite.
"Denial"
As has already been put to you,Richard Arlison and numerous people many times before; if you draw a line the in the sand of Spurs spending at the day we moved back into the new stadium (which is THE entirely fair thing to do) then the spending comparisons between us Arse & Liverpool (i.e. the teams of a similar income bracket) then we don't compare anywhere near as unfavourably.
......The fair caveat to that being that the final spend levels of this current window are TBC. However, this does beg the question; on what basis is this currrent 5 year/250 spend gap you've jumped on actually been calculated? ....5 years from today? ....The last 5 complete trf windows? ...Did you even care to question the figures?
Unfortunately for brevity of discussion; details matter.
Also further sidenote: "Denial" - Yesterday...... "There's been no links to players in or out today" >>>> Simply not true.
The broader, frustrating fact of the matter is that once again were in one of those cyclically-shifting-goal-post scenarios where despite me being told a week or two ago that Net spend isn't a fair stat because gross is the true indicator of 'willingness to spend' (due to fund regenerated by sale - Liverpool/Suarez/Coutinho meaning Liverpool have allow net spend being the argument); the split second we trouser 100m quid and it optically works against us midway through the trf window, net spend magically becomes king again.
Exhausting.
