Because his stock is rising, that's what generally happens when players improve - they start to attract much better sides and they eventually move.



Why is that? And Why is CL football in the more than likely short term better than the long term which he can secure at bigger clubs who qualify consistently?



If if, could could, pure speculation...he could have the season of his life and win POTY, what then?



See my point earlier ^



Cool, you're just hoping it will happen...I get it but the likelihood of it happening is low.
Everything you are accusing me of their you are doing yourself:

Whartons stock COULD keep rising
Gray COULD turn into a great 6
Madrid/City/Bayer COULD bid for him in 12 months time

🤣

It’s ridiculous, you apply one set of criteria’s on my point of view but can’t apply them to your own.

If we put a bid in that Palace found acceptable I believe Wharton would come unless one of the mega clubs put a bid in at the same time - he wouldn’t wait 12 months in my opinion - but he COULD

Never change Shady
 
But the likelihood is his legs won’t go. He’s 31. He’s not a forward who relies on bursts of speed. He’s a fit boy who gets about the pitch well. Too many people want to write a player off because they turn 30! These guys are fit as fuck.

39 at the time his Real Madric career ended.
Won the Balon D'or in 2018 aged 32.
Croatation player of the year every year from 16-24
Same size as a small woman.
Pretty much owned the middle of whatever pitch he was on.
 
Sorry do you need me to qualify my posts with a disclaimer on the end of put IMO just to appease you?

Spurs can't afford to play him in a position where he looks vastly out of his depth yet you're here pining for him to play at RB where...he looked vastly out of his depth last season :harrysmile:

And as I keep saying you're judging him last season where all of our players were quite frankly rubbish, that is not a player issue, it's a coaching issue - give the boy a chance before you write him off.

Get real, we didn't spend £40m on the kid to loan him out either.
As you needed someone to post proof of the Levy quotes yesterday - I would like you to provide any evidence of me pining for Gray to play RB - I will be waiting

He isn’t ready for DM in our side based on last season and I would be surprised if Frank thinks differently.

I haven't accused you of anything mate, all I'm saying is that we are both speculating, but common sense and trends tells you that a player like that will move to a bigger club eventually, I'm going off logic, you're going off delusion and fantasy.

Regardless of all this this is such a pointless debate because we haven't to put in a bid for him (unless you've heard otherwise) and we are most likely not going to put a bid in for him because you should know this club already - hence why now we are targeting those same sort of players before their stock rises.

Such a stupid debate lol

I’m saying, we should, he would solve vastly more problems for this squad than Eze will.

Not sure how some saying I think we should go for Wharton is delusion and fantasy - put a bid in, as certain if he is open to it or at least blow one of the mega clubs out of hiding so they stump up for him.

You need to chill

Modric is an absolute freak, same frame as Winks but twice as strong. The only other player with similarities was Santi Cazorla who is still going at 40, but he has not had half the career Modric has due to injuries and not being as good.

Meh you didn't, I just made it up because it sounded good. ;)

But you keep basing it off last season, it's pointless - if you base anything off last season then our entire team should be on the transfer list!

The silly thing about this debate is if Wharton played in our team last season his stock wouldn't be anywhere near higher than it is now and of Gray played for Palace our fans would most probably be saying the complete opposite 😆

It's just all prisoner of the moment stuff, one player is in form and on a trajectory, the other player is out of form and stagnating, meh. Until we give players like Gray a chance in a coherent team and system like Wharton has been given than spare me the desperation for other players especially those who we aren't realistically going to get.

Ah yes 'put a bid in', ever thought of being a Director of football, you've got it down to a tee lol
 
Now provide evidence of 5 more?
There are a lot of midfield players that play into mid 30s but some here think a guy at 31 is not worth buying. You’ll get so much more out of a seasoned pro like Norgaard than we get out of our midfielders who are all younger with Bergvall being the exception. These guys between the ages of 29 and 33 are fit as fuck and know the game and their position so well. We need more experience that we can rely on to go with the younger players we have.

Modric broke his thigh bone and was back in weeks.
The man is a warrior trapped in a feeble little body that behaves the way a giant genetic freak would.
