Did you really just try and spit hairs between the word "signing" and "transfer"? Someone's a little too desperate to win the internet.Yes, and I'm saying that, to me, the word "signing" doesn't necessarily bring value into it.
If you had said "transfer"....
I'm aware that he played most of the game in a position he has been playing In all season. My point was that the general consensus is that he is being played out of position and may be happier being played In the middle. It looked like we where gonna have a chance to see him there only for Poch to (rightly so) change the formation at half time.
I don't know how his performance could make you "so bloody angry". He wouldn't have been anywhere near the pitch until we had both our centre two midfielders taken off injured. And even then despite him being garbage we still won an extremely tough away game 2-0.
Plus Chelsea lost.
And the spammers.
And Jose had a melt down.
Cheer up. It could be worse ; )
Any thoughts on Sissoko?
What happened to him after the Thong Song?
Speak for yourself, I feel great. I just don't think it should distract us from the teams biggest problem, which is strength in depth. Our first team is awesome but our lack of depth has humiliated us in Europe recently. In just a few key positions we really lack quality options to rotate and that is a big problem with our team and I don't think it's melting or harsh to point that out because it's just the simple truth.
Don't worry, I have a feeling Wenger will continue to distract them next season....and that's what potentially worries me about The Arse next season!
They need SOMETHING to distract them!
Expect stoppage time at chelsea to go further than 9 minutes.
Noticed this at the semi - final a few years ago. They were occupied by what looked like, Burnley's Youth team.Had the same in the FA Cup(?) game last year. They usually leave it for advertising, there is a similar space in their section in the same stand too.
Football should change to effective game time. Stop the clock for everything. And play 2 times 30 minutes instead. It's crazy in 2017 that's only one person knows when a game will end.
It isn't meaningless - it's professional football. The league, and the money that goes with it, is our bread and butter. Cups will come because of league success.
Spurs win a tough one.
Chelsea lose an "easy" one
And I got to see a legend score on his debut (Schweinstegier is going to boss this league).
I'm somewhere in the pile below:
The other day someone was trying to tell me we should cash in on Dier. Think today shows that is a huge mistake, he's got starter quality in defense and midfield, and now we need him more than ever.
I don't doubt your sincerity, and am with you one hundred percent but if Jose comes sniffing around i think that 50 million will swing it. Levy will look at the balance sheet and cream himself.
I love Dier to bits but he has cost us a fair few goals this season, and on balance we could replace him if needed. I don't want to see him go but we all need to be realistic at times.
As long as Poch wants to keep a player, Levy will oblige. Those days are over.
I think the second half and England have shown he is a quality DM. Unfortunately for him Wanyama is better. But his versatility is such an asset. He is also popular amongst the group. I would be sad to see him go.

I think his versatility makes him more valuable to poch than most other players we have, he's also a leader on the pitch which we need more of - the sad thing for Dier is if he wasn't so versatile he would have probably nailed down a position by nowDier is a part of the new identity at Spurs. A versatile, young and very good loyal player that Poch will want in the group.
No chance for Jose. Not for sale.

And which ever way you slice it Sissoko is a shit signing. You can put the position he's playing at fault for his terrible control or inability to shoot if you want but the cause is irrelevant. He was bought to play in the position he's been played in. So it's a shit signing. You're in a tiny minority that thinks otherwise...and you're welcome to just don't think you can convince me to agree. Only one person can do that...
