Latest Spurs videos from Sky Sports

Bit of late night browsing, Palace forums.

They are understandably upset to be losing him but quite a few of them actually think he's not all that, and could be replaced...
Pretty sure West Ham fans said the same type of shit when Kudus was close to joining. I remember reading fans of theirs claim he was terrible last season and not worth what we were paying.

At the end of the day, with the exception of the world class players, the same “doesn’t show up every game” line could be said for everyone and it’s especially noticeable when you’re watching every second of your favourite club’s matches.
 

Tottenham "believe they're at the stage where the player can really only join then"

I'm quite confident in my belief that absolutely no one at Spurs would have uttered those words to a journalist........ It's a nothing sentence that no one would ever say.

These tweets are becoming ridiculous - no information and just about enough cryptic clues to get the fans all riled up! It's quite pathetic but it's the world we live in and they have to keep making shit up to stay relevant.

Nothing but rage bait

I'm sure we have another few days of "difficult" negotiations ahead before we get either player. Wont be ideal if eze starts tomorrow. Another spanner in the works.

Getting this deal done before the games today is gonna be key.

If Palace have a nightmare then there is always the chance they’ll harden over losing their best player.

If Woolwich have a nightmare, strong possibility they’ll revisit the deal.

Big morning. Let’s hope we get that team news through early that Eze is not involved. 🤞

Agree. 24 hours is a long time in football and things get very reactionary. Ideally need to close this out before these games. Especially if he does play and scores a hatful or Woolworths stink the place up again.
