Brentfordliterally had Maupay and Toney up staring up front for them a couple of seasons ago, I wouldn't take that so seriously.
Maupay is a weapons grade bell end, but did he ever bad mouth the club like Garnacho did? Always seemed to give his all for Brentford when I watched even though he was a total shithouse.

It’s the disrespect for the club I’d expect some managers to have issues with re Garnacho’s behaviour.
 
A few of our many criticisms last season was that we were very soft, lacked physical presence and aerial dominance. It’s therefore interesting to see us linked to multiple players who can be referred to as a ‘unit’.

Bisseck, Branthwaite, Collins, N’Dicka - all strong and aerially dominant

Semenyo, Mbeumo - both very physical

Norgaard, D Luiz, Eze, Gibbs-White - also physical players

Garnacho - tenacious

Sancho, Nenes, Grealish, Simons - exceptions
Branthwaite for me, home grown, great in the air, two footed, fast and as hard as nails. Him, Danso , Micky, Dragusin a d Vusovic should be pretty good.
 
I can’t recall but had discussion with Richard Arlison who intimated similar.

The point I was making was that behaviour once already at a club is slightly different than buying a player who just demonstrated he is disruptive IYSWIM.

Possibly, I don't think it's that deep anyway, not that I want Garnacho but I just don't take this no dickhead policy that literally.
 
I just cannot see Saudi being a Son move. He'll go back to Germany (or try his hand at La Liga) even it has to be also-rans in those leagues, before going somewhere just for money.

Or am I being naive? Would not be the first time...
Also-rans can't afford him.

In Saudi Arabia he can remain a big star and focal point, make a ton of money, and they can pay Spurs enough to do it all quickly and amicably. And it does ease his travel burden to South Korea somewhat as well.

And on the Saudi end you can understand their eagerness for a league that's desperate for global attention to acquire the biggest football star of the Far East.

I'm not going to look down my nose at him if that's what he wants to do.
