Wasn't that Paulo Sousa?
Wasn't that Paulo Sousa?
Yeah I had a good lol at that.
Buffon and Parma...
Is he just going to keep going like Shilton? Although I guess Ballotta's done that job before.
Roy Carrol is still playing at 43 in the Top Ireland version of the Premier League.
Ashley Young to Burnley https://twitter.com/SkySportsPL/stat...644701700?s=20
Seems a strange move for Dyche.
New rules. You have to have at least one.
Ramos leaving Madrid on a free (COMMUNICADO OFFICIAL).
Villa trying a bid on Smith-Rowe is 1) lol 2) a massive giveaway that Grealish is off to City once the Euros finish.
Varane agreeing to renew his contract with Madrid.
Gattuso leaving Fiorentina after 20 days
Another Mendes client.
James as a right sided centre half with Hakimi at right wing back and Kante in front of them. Good luck, have fun
Talk of Mike Ashley giving Bruce a £50m warchest to get Willock and Nat Phillips. I have no concept of value in today's market.
You probably have a better concept of it than whoever is in charge of transfers at Newcastle, by the sounds of it.
I'm furious we've been denied the potential pitch-side bust up between Gattuso and Big Sam.
Class, that. Far better move than Watford (or Burnley) would have been.
I'm a twit
It'll do him some good, like Theo Walcott.
Even if he only gets 10 minutes all season I'm pleased with that. Obviously not a winger anymore, but he was absolutely superb for us. Give Milner a year whilst we're at it.
Is Gareth Barry still mucking about?
They'll probably break off talks with him in a day or so.
At least for their sake you'd hope they do.
#LevyOut and #NoToGattuso currently trending, so it's going well anyway.
The main revelation from all of this is that his Scottish/Italian wife, who presumably hasn't lived in Scotland for twenty years and speaks Italian daily, has still got a Scottish mouth.
lol also at the Tottenham fans pulling up his old quotes about women and racism. He's Italian.
From the Guardian, 8:16 this morning:
“Tottenham break off Gennaro Gattuso talks as manager search goes on
- Spurs had felt deal with Gattuso would be agreed”
…but why did they?
In more not-transferring news, we seemed set to sign someone I’ve never heard of for £25 million from Stuttgart. Nico Gonzales? Anyone watch the German league?
Now apparently he’s more likely heading to Fiorentina.
Have they considered looking at someone who isn't a Jorge Mendes client?
Is that new sporting director of theirs a Mendes plant as well?
Maybe Mendes takes 7% of all our salaries and we just don't know it yet.
Dear football nerds,
Who is this Lokonga from Anderlecht guy? Seems to be a done deal to Arsenal.
Kane to City seems to be building into some sort of thing.
Must be down to how well he's been linking up with Sterling and Foden for England.
£100m plus one of Sterling, Jesus or Laporte is what I've heard.
I can't imagine Sterling's up for that. I would suggest a straight swap but Son's already there.
Grealish and Kane to City nailed on. Facto endo.
In the season Bale left, Spurs signed numerous players before hand. Levy was making it rain. This window he's done fuck all. Including finding a manager he's willing to meet the wage requirements of.
If Kane was leaving I think we'd be seeing some activity by now.
He has 3 years left on his contract and he'll be worth no less next year. I think he'll be off next summer.
North of £100m is insanity.
The striker market next summer has Haaland available for half what he'd want for Kane and Mbappe potentially on a free doesn't it? Doesn't feel like a market to be holding on to get into.
Are T.Hotspur fucked financially? Are they still paying off the fromagier? It wouldn't surprise me. Levy was trying to furlough everyone last year.
Harry Maguire cost £80 million. We passed insanity a long time ago.
Well, they've not timed their massive stadium build very well in terms of the team going to shit, so no Champions League revenue etc, not to mention all the rest that covid brought (no crowds, no NFL games, no big events) so whilst I doubt they're 'fucked' in the traditional sense, they're obviously going to be in a trickier spot than most.
They finished building a multibillion pound stadium just in time for a pandemic to turn up and write off all footfall. Nobody bought the naming rights, no packed out NFL games, no music events, not even fans on match days. All of this stuff was meant to pay for the Stadium.
There can't be many clubs hit harder.
That and they’re just a small club in general.
Does anyone know if they’re filming more of the Spurs documentary?
I'm a twit
The Amazon documentaries are all one season jobs I think.
