Who’s the player in the heart-shaped pic?

Pretty bad as feel I should know this but can’t picture who it is!

He's here to just soak up all the glory - bloody plastics!

Yeah being a spurs fan since 91 and putting up with the dross during the nineties is really soaking up the glory!

I’m watching them play not admiring their pretty faces!

My eyes also aren’t as good as they once were…

 

[Ron Burgundy]

His highlights are already up on youtube from the Korean game

I would have zero issues starting him next season. Honestly, no concerns whatsoever. The guy is class. Technically, physically, temperamentally - at under £10m, he's a preposterous steal.

What a signing

Wonder in time if he can control a game as a DM

Very possibly. But he adds so much around the park. He's an 8 for now IMO, or part of a double pivot

 

[Cochise]

Give him plenty of minutes this season and he'll really kick on. Very excited to see how he develops over the next couple of years.

Going to be a star. First team regular by the end of the season, I think.

Not gonna lie, I wasn't THAT impressed with him at Djurgården this year. It was obvious he was talanted but thought he was nowhere near being ready for our first team yet. Very happy that I was wrong.

For me - biggest things he needs to work on - his work around the box. Needs to be more of a goal threat. Right now - he is PL-ready for a box-to-box role. He will be world class when he adds that goal threat.

Good news is - he is 18, and is likely going to get a lot better - but he'll have to work on it.

Posted in the game thread but really deserves a mention in here. "Bergvall continues to impress. The two big question marks (at least for me) was given his age, how quickly he would adapt to the speed of play and the physicality as the competitive level increased. It doesn't seem to have phased him a bit. The kid has shown loads of presence to date and i dare say may become a special player."

Yes. Yes. But did you notice his absolutely fabulous hair?

Sounds very promising and I haven’t seen any pre season (fitness training/sessions!!) but they are just that and have very little relevance to when the proper stuff kicks off

 

[FrankSpencer]

We’ve found our new Modric!

 

[Blaugrana]

Should start the season imo. At the least if Madison/Sarr can't step up as the 10/8 duo against Leicester we should bring him in as a starter after that.
