The guys a trolling cunt. Never posts anything positive on Spurs. Trolls for clicks.
He also posts according on a North American timeline.
Remember how the pundit class cried for ages when Pep binned off Joe Hart. Bravo didn’t work out but you can’t say the same for Ederson.
Italy definitely has a stronger record of producing top class keepers than England does.
Or maybe Ange's knowledge of the transfer market is just more savvy than most
Every club he has worked at has had tight financial restraints so he has had to be clever how he has acquired his targets.
Now he is with us he'll have a bigger budget but is still aware of talents throughout the footballing world
Trust the man
COYS
Really confused by this. On the one hand you have previous Italian national keepers like Pagliuca and Buffon saying he's top class and ready to step up but Daveycoys57645 on twitter says his pony and now i dont know what to think.
Like others, I suspected the rumours about Vicario were a cunning plan from Levy to try to get Brentford to lower the Raya price.
Turns out it was a real move to get a GK at half the price we were being quoted for Raya.
We shall see whether Vicario is a good fit for PL, & whether he will even bother competing for the ball at corners etc.
But the kncck-on effect is that clubs such as Leicester now know that if they ask for crazy money for a player in the last year of his contract, like Maddison, we will switch to another target. No bluff, but for real.
If the barcodes sign Tonali, and Neves in the dodgiest of dodgy deals, then they will be out of the Maddison running, and Leicester may have few other suitors with deep pockets.

The problem with your argument is always that you come across as 'the higher the fee, the better'.
If Raya was £20m and Vicario was £40m, you'd argue that we should buy Vicario.
It's what you do. It's your schtick. It's no deeper than that for you.
It’s William in Italian, no? Same thing
Germanic, not Italian. See also Guillaume, Guillermo, Wilhelm and loads more here...

The way the deal was done, def comes off more tactical than our usual style.
And you are right, Leicester will have pause when it comes to holding out on Maddison.
You mean the half Billion he's spent over the last 4 years?
"Educated" guesses...
I think we should have paid £45m myself. You know, since we're so rich we might as well throw in an extra fiver.
Whilst I agree with you in the main, there will be flops, everyone has them.
We just have to ensure they're the exception rather than the rule.
Again for what is probably the millionth time it's been explained to you, compare Liverpool's spend over the last 5 years or so to Everton's spend, which team has spent the most and which team is more successful?
It's not about how much you spend, it's about what you spend it on.
