Ally Gold was saying in his video that this is the kid we will be going for in the Summer (about 16mins in.)

A bit of a stretch considering we'd actually have to pay money to make that possible. Plus, we usually back off any deals when there is any genuine interest from other parties. /s

What you're describing was the complete opposite of what happened last summer with NDombele

Very hard to know how much of a pull we’ll be in the summer. Not saying we won’t, but we could be anything from a very positive looking side to slightly slipping one.

Can you quote me one genuine offer, not just casual interest, but actual offers for NDombele. There were none, but yet we dragged that right until preseason started.

Same with Lo Celso. Mind you, the only reason why we got these players was because they were already sold on Poch.

Are you Jean Michael-Aulas? Can you prove any offers?

Didn't think so :ROFLMAO:

Here's what he said in July:

“I am in negotiations with the biggest European clubs and I contacted PSG myself to tell them that if they wanted not to feel left out on players with this type of talent, that they needed to position themselves. If they are in agreement to match the two or three offers that we have already received and Tanguy chooses them, we will not oppose the deal. On the contrary, it would even be good if he went to PSG. The most talented French players must be in the best French clubs. PSG, Marseille, Lyon, St Étienne or even Rennes need to come together to create an ecosystem that serves French football.”

We're not the Tottenham of ten years ago. We have the best stadium in the world, the best training facilities, the manager who's one the most of all active managers, and we're regular Champions League participants. One season without CL won't suddenly ruin us! We can't afford to be without it year after year, but one slip-up won't hurt our reputation.

If we keep the nucleus of the team together which I am certain will be the case then Soumare will be walking into a football club with plenty going for it. No need to be short sighted if we end up having a lack of European football.

Lloris, Alderweireld, Ndombele, Gedson, Lo Celso, Dele, Bergwijn, Son, Kane are all excellent talents. He'd only be adding to it which would appeal to most now.

ROFL!! For goodness sakes, you're quoting Michel Aulas. You seriously want me to believe that? He could've just as well come out and said that a 100 clubs were in for him and had offers from over half of them and you'd be none the wiser. Levy knew this which is why he was able to draw the price down by at least 20M.

Can you name a better source for the information you have requested? Seriously. Who would know? Nobody. So your assumption is also unable to be proven to be true. Ergo you are more than likely to be wrong.

Exactly - I think I'd be inclined to believe the man who runs the club over some random stranger with a confirmation bias.

I was half expecting the exact reply that was given, but still surprised it was posted

Getting rid of Sissoko, Wanyama, and maybe even Dier and replacing them with the likes of Soumare and hopefully an out-and-out DM would be incredible. Gedson should probably be viewed as the Sissoko replacement.

Doubt we would sign Soumare and a DM, particularly as we seem to want Eze.

My guess we would we would look to use Winks/Soumare, Ndombele/Fernandes, Lo Celso/Eze, if we were able to make those signings

True, but I think with Mourinho, the new stadium and our capacity to offer higher wages, we're probably still a bigger draw than we were a few years ago even when we had CL football under Poch. Sure, we'll miss out on certain players who demand CL but clubs like Chelsea and Arsenal have both made some very big signings even when they've had no CL football to offer - I think we're capable of the same now.

Care to elaborate who else was in for Steven? The point to take is that we're always perpetually short of much needed players.
That's what just about every fan of every team in world football says.

Have a pop in on any fan site and you'll see the same.

Being linked with Liverpool and United today


We supporters often appear to have a blind spot when it comes to transfer rumours. (No shit Shirley.)

He was being linked more heavily with both Utd and Liverpool than he was with Spurs in the media all through January.
