Cheers mate, genuinely excited by that. Resisting the urge to search him out on youtube, as I did that with lamela and well I still liked him here but he was not the second coming of Totti that the youtube videos had me believe we signed.

If like you said he ends up having the same affect for Sonny as Porro did for Emerson, then I think he would have been worth signing regardless of his performances on pitch

The kind of player that can split the opposition in two like a sword through baby.

It's a bit harsh on Shakhtar and a very delicate thing - let's hope we've gone about this in the right, uh, spirit.
Huh?


This thread is really becoming strange.

We've got people not knowing there's a war in Ukraine, Son changing his age, identity politics (if that's the right expression to use) and now swords cutting through babies (although I think/hope that was a typo).

This is why we all love Spurs Community during the transfer window

It's a reference to the biblical Solomon, whose wisdom was legendary, not least because of how he dealt with two women who both claimed a baby as their own. Namely, he proposed to chop said baby in half. One woman immediately renounced her claim, enabling Solomon to deduce she was the real mother.

Given Manor is likely to be an impact sub, then it's unlikely we'll get two halves from our Solomon, but I'm hoping his decision-making, at least, will show a degree of wisdom.


N.B. All that noted, I see that the original Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. Ratio seems a bit off for someone so wise if you ask me, but, hey, there you go.

Didn't the other woman say "yeah do that" or is that bollocks?

Even after being told this, Karl Pilkington still asked which one was the real mother. I love him.

Surely he meant like a knife through butter?!?

I couldn't tell if you were taking the piss but you've got me questioning myself now

Yeah, in the current situation, there's nothing to negotiate.
We're doing them a favour with the friendly to at least give them something, when we could just tell them to piss off and sign him anyway.

Sign him and then cancel the friendly.



I'm joking of course, but their CEO does come across as a bit of a twat if this is true.

This might not be fully done

Shaktar have already lost an appeal to CAS in January, not specifically about Solomon but all their non - Ukraine players.
There was another report that said they were going to take their case to the EU , not sure how that can be as Ukraine is not an EU country, as Solomon is not an EU citizen and the UK is not an EU country don't think there is anything to worry about , he's no longer a Shaktar player..
