Having scored in his last attempted FK (and virtually 9 years after his last); there was a bend in space & time and now Kane will take them all from here on....... Even after he has left and long retired....
None of the best GKs in the Prem were tried and tested before they ended up at their current club. The money we pay for ‘tried and tested’ gets us a middling player whose ceiling we know and it’s not likely to be UCL standard. I take my chances with a highly rated import in this case, available discounted because his contract was running down.
Not very often in recent years I've been genuinely excited about a signing... But I'm feeling it with the prospect of signing Maddison. Tried and tested TOP draw prem footballer. And, arguably with his best years Infront of him.
Leave it out, mate... I'm still seething that we didn't pay an additional 40/50m by showing some balls and meeting the asking price on Ndombele & GLC.
I dont disagree. But with the backups we have I would prefer one tried and tested EPL keeper. If two years ago we got Vicario, that he might ultimately take over from Lloris I'd have been Happy with Vicario.
Or signing players to replace what we'd be losing with Kane leaving. Signing a player will not be what makes Kane want to stay. He's not that simple.
And finally a worthy replacement for Christian Eriksen.
English too. That's a bonus.
And the fact Leicester fans are probably hating the fact he's signing for us.
*Disclaimer* this signing does not make me a regime enthusiast
I'm sure you occasionally make yourself laugh.
Lee McQueen is insufferable. Talks bollocks all the time and is woefully uninformed. I love Jason McGovern. Always gives the reasonable, non knee-jerk perspective. Unfortunately, since Ricky went big time with the pod he features very rarely.
I think the keeper debate should probably go on the back burner for now, mate.
The fact he was our second choice isn't up for debate.
Whether the money saved by cheaping out was worthwhile will only become apparent as the season unfolds.
Hopefully he'll surprise us and become a legend. Time will tell, I guess.
Milan, Inter, Bayern. That's the list.
Which club was Raya linked with?
We probably tried that with Gollini and it didn’t work out. Ambitious keepers aren’t coming to sit on the bench for two years while we fall out of love and contract with Hugo. Foster is an adequate (and HG) backup — in line with the standard of most Prem backups. Raya, FWIW, I’ve read was beaten by more shots from outside the box than any other keeper.
On this one, I’m trusting my Serie A watching friend who reckons we’ve got the bargain of the window.
Much as I dont like what has happened the past 4 seasons, I do hope Ange gets us that trophy we been crying for.
I seems like cretinousgoat and the Dislike squad have grown in numbers. Levys payroll has increased slighty so I forsee slightly less for transfers. Therefore, I wont hold my breath on winning the League, but will keep the Faith. COYS !!!

Now with a very good center back and we could possibly have a very exciting team. Ange will have a good side
Dude no one talks about players 3 or 4 years after their transfer fee still being part of that years budget.
For the loan to buy players, the purchase counts one time, either when the loan is made OR when the purchase is made.
People that double count it are idiots. People that count it zero times are also idiots.
The more I'm reading and thinking about the signing of our new Italian keeper.. the more I'm thinking it's a bloody good signing.. If there's one thing the Italians do really well and know inside out, is how to defend and this boy has bust his way into the Italian squad from a low end seria a team....NOT an easy thing to do... As for Raya ... Tbh I'm dubious of buying players from the likes of Brentford or Brighton.. these teams are built on specific systems , And in their systems players can shine but out of that system theyve been known to struggle to adapt... look at our latest signing from Brighton... Looks a quality footballer... BUT has he adapted well...NOT as yet, will he? .. I'm hoping ... But given his performances, there has,v unfortunately, to be a question mark .
The only thing I'm concerned with our new keeper is that can he handle the extra pressure that comes with the Tottenham no 1 shirt.. let's face it MANY keepers come to us on top of their game and crash dramatically.. Keller, Robinson ect... Time will Tell ..but ATM I'm optimistic.
