Adama Traore

[GutBucket]

Even if we offered more money he would pick Barcelona over us, or anyone else since it's his club. Was a bit suspicious when they Cup-tied him. Need to move on.

A display of commercial strength by the club, refusing to be held to ransom for a player in a position for which we already have drive, flair, technique and reliability in Royal and Doherty.

It'll be a characteristically tough negotiation for Spurs to do, but I've confidence that Levy has the iron will to get it over the line before next season...

Aaron Lennon - bring him home.

I hate it we were so slow in acting. But the fact that Mendes is the agent meant we will always be strung along until 'bigger' clubs were fished.

Bullet: dodged. Next!

What is interesting, is that no-one outside of Tottenham gives a rat's arse who Tottenham are/aren't signing.

There may be a cursory "were you in for Traore?" but nothing more than that. Outside of this Tottenham and Twitter bubble, there are very few people who think "OMG it's so embarrassing, look at what Spurs are doing". That's mainly Spurs fans assuming that people will care and/or give them stick about it.

They don't; and in my experience they won't. And I'm friends with an unhealthy number of West Ham fans. The ****s.

If anything most are saying we doged a bullet, and it show's how far Barca have fallen.
I've never given a fuck about what people think, especially some nobodies on social media, but for me personally, I'm gutted we didn't get him. The entertainment alone would have been worth it for me. Real fucking shame.

Well you say that, but people definitely get stick from their friends when they've been telling them all month "we're getting traore and vlahovic" because they believed everything they read on the internet.

Or they're worried about getting bantered/reading banter by some 12 year old on twitter who has 2 followers and 95% of their tweets are "Ratio'd"

If we’re saying we dodged a bullet, what are we saying about the scouting/management team that made him a target in the first place?

Traore's footballing ability is a divisive subject. Your don't have to step out of spurscommunity to see that.

Sounds like they deserve it.

So which Barca player are we going to buy to allow them to steal Traore from us?

Nothing like throwing a match into a room filled with gasoline. LOL. Evil, pure evil.

Dest

Another Royal? What a coup ?

[JCRD]

Dembele... on loan even...

 

[tiger666]

Dembele plays on the right of an attacking 3 I believe? Two footed

 

[HedgieSpur]

I’m finding the collective losing of shit by people on Twitter very funny. They want any reason to blame somebody for something so just grasping at any part of the reason why this transfer didn’t happen to bash the club with. Very amusing.

I’m confused. What do you find amusing about it specifically?

I haven’t dogged anyone.

 

[Trees]

I do know it’s easy after the event but I would be astonished if Traore ends up having a long career with the muscle gain.

However it is essential we scout the next RWB properly.

 

[amathews3416]

I am just glad he is outside of the prem. If you wanted him to sign for us or not, no denying the guy tore us to shreds everytime we faced off with Wolves.
