Lewandowski would be the worst option for us and the others contending I think.

There is a subtle difference between I am staying and they stopped calling.

"I am staying because, despite the fact I really want to leave, City aren't going to pay what Levy wants. Oh, er, I'm really committed to the club and never wanted to leave. Promise."

[Strontium]

Only in football do employers exercise so much sway over the direction of the careers of their employees. Any other industry and changing job is just a matter of giving your employer notice that you'll be leaving in a few weeks.

It's also unusually difficult for an employer to get rid of an employee in the football profession, is it not?

I didn't say there weren't trade-offs.

 

I can see the whole crumbling edifice collapsing at some point in the not too distant future. Bosman was just the beginning.

It’s always going to be corrupt

Glass houses from PSG in terms of what's correct and above board.

They should sell him to us for a tenner out of spite.

I don't think City would do it but Ronaldo is actually available.

Stick him on the penalty spot, tell the outside forwards/wing backs do that cut across the six yard box thing they did a couple of years back on every attack that no cunt bothered to prepare for, or defend, and he’d score eighty a season and not break sweat.

Wengers Arsenal were the progenitors of that, and we always seemed to get caught by it. Usually Pires or Ljungberg cutting back for someone to score.

I think it was the 18/19 season and they did it on every attack and it worked every time.

 

Cut back as the defenders are rushing back to goal, trying to find their position, meaning they can’t get their footing as the on rushing attackers get a free hit.

 

So simple and infuriating.

Yea, all you need is pace and space to get the defenders running towards their own goal - a fella nifty enough on the ball to beat his man and make the cutback and mulitple bodies arriving in the box who are decent finishers.

Simple.

Absolutely

So, they haven’t actually agreed a deal then…

They agree to disagree.

I don’t watch much Sky Sports News anymore, but their two little transfer gimps must be spraying jizz all over the studio and up the walls with these developments today. 

[Torvald Utne]

Perfect spurs player

[Lee909]

Imagine paying the same for Traore as we paid for Jota

[3 Stacks]

Nuno's genuinely one of the most boring managers in the world. Pure shit on a stick football with only fast counter attacks. They don't even need Traore, Lucas Moura already does his job.

I would be doing that everyday working with some of the fluff they’ve got in that particular office 

[Daisy]

So spurs still spending money without selling Kane

[Lee909]

Spurs 

 

Sold Sum: £26.28m

Bought Sum: £22.50m

 

Potential 

Sarr 12ml

Traore loan/35ml 

 

 

Yep really splashing the cash so far.

Mad thing is how Suarez could do the same thing on his own.

[TD_LFC]

N'Dombele has downed tools and could be out of the door as well.
