Wish Arsenal would put some money towards some of Chelsea’s kids.

Hudson-Odoi would have a great chance of starting for us.

The fact that you think I’m angry is in itself a sad reflection of you, in that you think your trolling actually is of any worth

Nobody cares mate, but if you try and be smart with shit jokes from yesteryear you’ll get called out

It wasn't trolling though, but sure OK. Whatever you say.

The fact multiple people have said there is nothing wrong with the statement says you're looking too far into it rather than taking it at face value.

We are being linked with Chucky for £36m

I assume we're looking to play him as a central striker? With Hazard and CHO still at the club (for now), I can't imagine us playing him at LW. Alternatively, if Hazard leaves and CHO follows, he would be a great replacement there and then we'd have to buy a striker in the summer.

Ideally, I'd rather hang on to one of our academy players more than anything.

Yay... We all watch as he’s chewed up by the cannibals of German football.
Would absolutely love him. Bayern and Juve, such dislikable clubs.

So Pjanic, Khedira and Matuidi all getting on or vastly experienced. In comes Can and Ramsey for free.
Good business.

Not alone. Would have loved RLC 2 years ago but seems content wasting away on the bench

Rubens played 16 games so far this season and has worked his arse off to win a spot and Sarris trust rather than taking the easy way and chasing easier games at a lower club. Respect.

Hes been fantastic and will play a lot of games for us. Hopefully the back injury hes got atm doesnt hamper him too much. Hopefully we send Kovacic back to Real as we dont need him. Mount sounds like hes got the same attitude as RLC which is great, work hard and earn a spot.

Hopefully we are getting our Willian/Pedro replacements in order. But i really do think we'll lose one of Hazard/CHO and i think thats unavoidable and also understandable.

Just need that buyback in CHOs sale so when hes ready to return to England he wont cost us too much. In a perfect world thatd be when Edens finishing up with us. Or nightmate scenario they both go in the summer

I’m having a blonde moment. Who is Chucky?

I guess you could add PSG and Celtic to that list, those leagues would be so much more exciting to follow without those teams.

Daniel Storey has an uncanny ability to nail pretty much every single take he's ever had, and in such a way that it feels like it should have been so obvious to everyone else all along.

One of the absolute best football writers around.

it all comes down to trust. i wish we would trust guys like sancho instead of signing mahrez. that's not a reflection on mahrez either, he's a very good player but nothing matches the intrigue and wonder of having an academy kid given a chance. club attitudes need to change though for it to happen.

on one hand you want to appease the match day goers and the locals with the academy talent. but the club also wants to spend the big money on marquee players to get the marketing/bandwagon fans onboard.

Absolutely, 100% your first paragraph. Outside of winning things (I imagine, but I'll let you know for sure when we get there) I can't think that there would be too many better feelings in football than seeing someone from the academy, who is a fan of the club, come through the ranks and establish themselves in the first-team.

I mean, Harry Kane is arguably the best example in England, if not the world, of this very thing. It establishes a genuine connection between fans and club to know that someone who only recently sat alongside them in the stands is now out doing it on the pitch. Kane is a special case because of the disastrous strikers we had before him and the genuine graft he had to put in to get to this level, but the song from the stands about him says it all and is a large part of the reason why the guy had pretty much already gone down as a club legend after about his second season.

I'm not from the area, and I've never even been there, but reading about the pride that a lot of Spurs fans, some of whom have been around the club for decades, even long enough to see us win the league, have for the likes of Kane, and Harry Winks as well who regularly talks about his experiences as a fan at White Hart Lane with his family when asked about them, is something genuinely special for the club.

Max Clarke who was basically forced out of the club by the owners, was sat in the away end against leeds leading chants as we beat them. It's fantastic.

 

[RossFC]

Keylor Navas who whined about being benched at Real behind Courtois has re-signed with them on 100k a week until mid-2021.

That’s why spurs are the heart and soul of English football while Chelsea are the antithesis of that. A soulless, artificial, disconnected, dystopian nightmare. God imagine supporting that lot

Should go to Hibs, Milligan - Adam midfield would be a sight to behold.

nothing better than the 5 seconds late studs up challenge.

Interesting. Suspect the decision to play Milner at RB v Wolves was probably the final nail for this. Clyne effectively 5th in line behind Arnold, Gomez, Fabinho and Milner.

I’ve literally been retweeting the news non-stop.
