Done. But no idea what the rules are here. ?

Rule 1 - read the rules.

Stop blaming Josè for not getting best out of him, or trying to. TN has a rank stinking attitude! I see doom. Getting RID is only option. DL has he work cut out here, and you cannot blame him at all.
But surely the biggest drama we have now is trying to find a willing buyer? One who thinks they can accommodate a midfield flump who couldn't give a crap, but they're happy to buy him anyway?

Sounds like we have a very expensive bench warmer.

Probably a few that think they can turn things around and make him a better person/player.

Matching our asking price, however, is another matter.

Speculate about players we have or haven’t been linked to absolutely anywhere you like as long as it’s not this thread.

Replace the bold words with (list not definitive:

Formations
Tactics
Body language
Twitter rumours
Etc etc

In here, just talk about what the itk is explicit about. If you think it hints something, go to a player thread and say ‘I think that itk means this’.

I don’t normally react to negs but I hope the d’oh was either an error or an attempt at humour by a member who has posted less than 3 dozen posts.

Read the rules people. Then follow them.(y)

If its Jimenez then I want him starting alongside Kane, not on the bench. He's not a bench player. Especially at 50m.

I just cannot see us replacing Tanguy with an "around 50m" premiership striker, especially when looking at our squad and knowing that this window is all about balance.
We need a striker but we don't really need a bloody expensive one, all things considered. We've got Parrott and Etete waiting in the wings.

going back to the earlier Ndombele ITK - i'm pretty certain that on this forum some 6 or 9 months or so ago that there was ITK from someone that Lloris had been sounded out about Ndombele and advised Poch to steer clear based off his experiences of working with him in the French national squad. Would be quite telling now as obviously back then we were still perhaps a little blinkered as to the extent of his attitude problems.

So our transfer hopes hinge on selling a known overweight, lazy midfielder with a bad attitude with no loss?

Great.

This is what worries me, we could potentially lose out on signing a Striker because we cant shift Tanguy, when one of our biggest priorities is to sign cover for Kane regardless of anything else.

Wow. If that’s accurate it’s pretty damning as I know we want great buys and to steal a march on our rivals etc but can’t ignore red flags like this.

Talent without effort is nothing.

Working next to one of the best strikers in the world and seeing his work ethic should provide inspiration of what it actually takes.
Such a shame how this seems to have panned out from ITK

Hmm searching by ITK thread i can't find nothing saying something like this, also found quotes from Hugo, Ndombele and Winks that I would say it's not true.

I find it incredibly difficult to align that dragon1 info with everything else we've heard in the window. A few weeks ago, we were looking at Wilson and Deeney as backup forwards, now we've jumped up to a £50m backup striker? I don't think there's a single striker in the league, that we don't already have, that is worth £50m in this current climate. Less so when you convert it into Levy dollars.

Money is tight, Mourinho is identifying reasonable, attainable targets in positions we are clearly weak in, but we've gone back in for Bale again?

We're happy to let Ndombele go, but apparently have no desire to replace his intended role in the squad, a role we're in desperate need of?

None of it makes sense.

Apply the salt as always.

Although worth bearing in mind this is a Spurs transfer window, and the journey and end result often makes no sense.

"one of the three right backs Ive spoken about and the striker Will come in"

Is the capital W for Will intentional? Maybe this is cryptic for Wilson, Willian, Wilfred Zaha or Wilfried Bony :ROFLMAO:

Given Dragons general grammatical level, I can say with 110% conviction that it's not intentional.
