If we could swap Dier for Tosin I’d be happy with that but he doesn’t seem to want to come sit on the bench and I definitely respect that.
Porro just arrived, he's not going anywhere and Ange has already said good things about Davis.
Yet Ange “defended” Richarlison’s performance by saying we didn’t use him enough?
We need a CF to replace Richarlison. Full stop
I just think it’s all gotten so mental. In the crazy contemporary market it’s “nothing”, but even for rich EPL teams, £10m is a lot of money.
I don’t lack ambition. But the current fees are beyond stupid. Especially for the calibre of players involved.
5 is not bad. He’s only worth what 25 quid scrap value down Alfie Flowers yard .
I think you're being too romantic. There's not a media platform in existence that would rather broadcast United v Burnley than United v Atletico. There's no one, other than Burnley supporters, that would be more interested in the former than the latter. The dregs of the PL are so far financially behind the clubs that would make up the last ESL clubs in the gate, there's simply no comparison. The value that clubs like United, Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, City, and Woolwich give to the rest of the PL, basically as welfare, would be greatly reduced if the bottom value clubs in the league were Atletico, Napoli, Lyon, etc.
Anyway, we're gonna find out eventually so no need for another round of debates.
I am and always would be more interested in United v Burnley than United v Atletico. I've always been more interested in EPL matches than any other matches or other competitions, and I doubt I'm alone in that. It might be 'older skool' (I'm 48 btw), so it may change over time society-wide, but I very much doubt I'm alone in feeling that way at present and for the foreseeable future. Just saying.

Report: Talks between Spurs and Serie A club over midfielder 'already well advanced'

According to Gazzetta dello Sport (14/08/23 as relayed by Sport Witness), Napoli have already made a lot of progress in their talks with Tottenham over a deal for Giovani Lo Celso.
Lo Celso was one of Tottenham’s stand-out players during pre-season and Ange Postecoglou has admitted that the Argentine fits very well to the style of play he wants to implement at the North London club (Football.London).
However, it appears that Napoli are not giving up on their pursuit of the midfielder, with Gazzetta indicating that the Serie A side want to sign the player on an initial loan deal with an option to buy, similar to the Tanguy Ndombele deal last summer.
In fact, the outlet asserts that talks between Tottenham and the Italian club over Lo Celso are ‘already well advanced’ but they were suspended for a while as the Premier League side were focused on Harry Kane’s sale to Bayern.
It suggested that with the Kane move out of the way, Spurs and Napoli are now set to ‘resume’ their discussions over the 27-year-old in the ‘coming days’.
Spurs Web Opinion
I cannot see Tottenham considering offloading Lo Celso unless the club bring in an attacking midfielder such as Brennan Johnson or Eberechi Eze through the door over the next couple of weeks. As things stand, the Argentine is Ange Postecoglou’s main cover for James Maddison.
Same here. Would rather watch Burnley all day long. Maybe it’s a generational thing. Couldn’t give a flying fuck about champions league games unless Spurs are playing.I am and always would be more interested in United v Burnley than United v Atletico.

Do want to do a LeicesterDon't want to do a Leeds', do we?
Or win anything.
And win anything
I reckon man u vs atletico in a final CL first round game with nothing on it gets fewer uk viewers than man u BurnleyI am and always would be more interested in United v Burnley than United v Atletico.

I doubt that Spurs are seriously interested in him mainly due to various "financial reason"

Ansu Fati has reportedly elected to leave Barcelona, with the winger's interest set to spark interest from Premier League clubs.
As reported by AS Sport, Fati feels that he isn't trusted by Barcelona manager Xavi, as demonstrated by the fact that he didn't come on until the 79th minute against Getafe in the opening game of the season.
Manchester United, Woolwich and Tottenham are among the Premier League sides that have been linked with a move for Fati.

Years of ENIC have institutionalized them. They can’t be happy with a transfer unless it’s deemed as “good value”.
Started a whole thing about this yesterday. Not our money who cares, show some ambition, we are a rich club, fans pay a premium, why are we always penny pinching?
The usual suspects shot me down with words that could have come straight out of ENICS mouth
I'm more interested in the former than the latter. And I'm the viewership the media platforms are paying for.
I get we don’t have a sports washer owner so we can’t go and sign everyone but the need to get value from every single transfer is quite frankly weird as fuck. Freaks
Hope we steer well clear, amazing talent but his legs don't work. We don't need any more players who can't stay fit.
