Why?
Waging some kind of mudslinging match via the clickbait merchants achieves nothing.
What's meaningful is what happens between the lawyers and at the negotiation table.

You have some very weird fantasies.
Guys, seriously...can you not take this convo to a separate thread?
Could we not do a deal for mgw and maybe Solomon going to them maybe.
I think you're overstating this. It's probably a lot more true of US sports, for instance, where sports are stratified accordingly but in Europe and South America the vibe is very different. Most kids love and play football as a passion, and the best ones are funneled into clubs at an early age, becoming entirely absorbed into the culture.
For every Benoit Assou-Ekotto or David Bentley there are a hundred professional players whose greatest desire is to score in a World Cup final, and even the richest players on Earth are still playing for love of the game.
Doubtful - it'll be a thing the player can force through, if he isn't prepared to do that then..
Doesn't understand the difference.
Oh God no
We've already got plenty than can miss sitters and 'Work hard but don't score'
Cochrane uses the example of coaching Garnacho to stop chopping onto his right foot all the time, and to trust his left more. Garnacho takes the coaching, and scores for the first team with his left.
More generally, Cochrane is telling a young player parts of his game he needs to develop to get ahead of the likes of Rashford, Sancho and Elanga.
Sure, Garnacho is far from the finished product, but the video is intriguing in what it reveals about Garnacho's mindset, and of how our new coach works with young players trying to make that breakthrough from the Academy.
It doesn't mean I want us to sign Garnacho. I'm still unsure. But I'm pleased that we have this insider knowledge of the player and his attitude.
The whole club is one big scam...... Been that way for decades.
Such a despicable club that I would like to believe they were up to no good and would get found out but it's them so I hold out zero hope.
Yeah big Americanism that imo. Most footballers fucking love the game and obsess over it. Like I said, Luis Suarez can barely walk without pain but he's still playing .. it isn't for money, it's for love of the sport. Plenty of players talk about the sport like giddy schoolkids and still watch/comment on it constantly.
I don't doubt there are job elements to it all, but a majority of footballers love football imo. To say otherwise is just being cynical for the sake of it.
This MGW saga is a joke. I was so excited.
So we stop cluttering up all the talk about transfers Tottenham are surely never going to make?
In all honesty, I've no interest in saying another word about the subject.
Have we signed Gibbs-White yet?
You're just bitter cause James Ward-Prowse would rather go back to West Ham than play for youse again.
Been here before haven’t we ? Can’t even say the reaction to the whole saga gives confidence. Nothing much, if any optimism, let’s hope Tel has some unexpected Jedi like rise next season or Kudas is first season good, not second season bad.
Nunez would certainly complete the holy trinity of sitter strikers we have
As I keep saying, our owners hide behind it whilst others range from working around it, to flat out ignoring it.
