What a load of piffle! 😂 So you don’t think Maranakis throwing his toys out the pram had no bearing on his decision? Have you had a partner with a difficult pregnancy? The last thing you want is a load of external stress. None of that adds up to a flat rejection!

Olise’s failed transfer to Chelsea after Palace threatened legal action for one?

About the only thing you got correct is your choice of user name!

If you want to convince yourself that Marinakis has some kind of leverage over MGW and coerced him into signing his new deal, be my guest. I have no vested interest in the matter, just my opinion that occam's razor likely holds true here, the player is settled and we don't represent a big enough step up for MGW when competing with remaining settled on similar wages. We don't have the stomach to wave £300k a week in anyone's face like Utd so he's staying put. Mine and my partner's only pregnancy was difficult actually, but I am not Morgan Gibbs-White, his world and mine are not even one iota similar, so I don't see what that has to do with this situation whatsoever, a difficult pregnancy for the average person who has 50+ years to shape and think about their career has absolutely nothing to do with a footballer who gets maybe 15, functionally of which 5 or 6 are in your physical prime, with which to maximise their earnings, so trying to pull heartstrings with your silly prompt just seems a bit asinine really.

Chelsea actively backed off that deal, they had to sell a hotel to themselves to stay out of shit with PSR that season, in all likelihood they knew they would owe Palace an additional £8-10m they didn't have wiggle room for, I can't find a shred of evidence that we backed out of the MGW deal.

I'd be half tempted to put a bid in for Amad Diallo £50 million to test Utds resolve

There is no doubt of this kids ability
He'd slot straight in as a left or right winger

UTD definitely need to sell players this summer to comply with financial regulations

Apart from Rashford - who got a lucky loan to Barcelona with no guarantee of even being registered to play in la Liga
No bids for Onana,Antony or Garnacho

big money spent on Mbuemo and Cunha

They got to balance there books somewhere and somehow and now is the time to strike for Diallo

Now if he came to Spurs - there's a real star quality about his game and he undoubtedly has the ability right now be even better than Gareth Bale (that is high praise in my book)
He is such a spurs style player because he gets people standing up from there seats

Taxi for Maicon- bollox

Taxi for Diallo and bring him straight to the lane (Gates now installed for your media announcement)
Get this player to sign ASAP Diallo could be the difference between the haves and the have nots

And remember its only Tottenham lads PMSL

We are now buying Utd players 😂😂😂

whos laughing now cunts

COYS

It’s very likely his agent is being threatened with breach of contract.

MGW probably didn’t want the aggro if his partner is having a difficult pregnancy.

Being forced to stay whatever the circumstances is very different from the flat rejection you’re making out.

A one year extension, after 12 months of rejecting a new deal, is hardly the glorious victory for Forest that the slimey criminal seems to want to narrate either.

We are shit.

The board are shit.

The players we buy are for the most part, shit.

It's second rate slop that we buy, we buy thrice for every good player we could buy, but that's not the Levy way. I also don't think you can look back at the last 15-20 years and say we've made any significant, prolonged improvement, while others have caught up to us in no tome. So it's clearly not just moaning.

But if you want to bury your head in the sand and be a yes man, that's your prerogative. We're still allowed to support the club, and be dissatisfied. Who are you to gatekeep. Moron.

I think the bolded is the most frustrating bit for me, for years we painstakingly climbed our way to being best of the rest first of all, and then broke into the top 4 party, and then even a brief flirtation with being title challengers, whilst the others largely stood still.

Then we shat the bed, and as we were rolling around in our own mess, a bunch of other sides showed that what took us so long to achieve could actually be done almost overnight.

You now see clubs like Bournemouth and Brighton throwing around fees that we umm and aah over, too afraid to take a punt on an "unproven" prospect, too stingey to cough up for the "sure thing", and most of the time ending up with simply bang average.

We're a sad club living of distant former glories, and not so distant but still very former almost glories.

For all we wanted the EL win to be the dawning of a new golden age, this summer has hammered home that nothing has changed.

To be jetting off on our annual pre-season shake down of the Far East with just one real addition to the squad is pathetic. No matter who we sign in the remainder of the window, we have shown once again that nothing has been learned, and the same mistakes will continue to be made.

We would need to sign 3 or 4 players, 2 of those nailed on starters that all work out in their positions to have a chance of competing for top four this season IMO and I can't remember a window in the last 6 years where even half our signings have worked out well.
Fucking depressing indeed.

Other teams sell their properties so they can buy more players

We buy less players so that we can build more property

We'll probably try selling players to ourselves to finance another wing on the hotel

Sad Funny but true

If you look at our business in Isolation it ain't bad.
But when you look whats going on around us you realise we are being left behind.

What is this showing?

Doesnt a darker colour mean more time spent in an area of the pitch?

They are both spending the same amount of time on the pitch (in total) so fewer dark areas mean greater pitch coverage? (The time on the pitch is not concentrated in one area).

Or is it only showing where players touch the ball?

Genuinely confused by this.
 
This transfer window is truly getting much more worrying as the days pass. 17 days until the season starts and it truly looks like the club aren't even trying to strengthen the team. This is going to be a rough season. Laughable squad for CL football. We are acting like we didn't win Europa league. Truly pathetic
