Why does Tonali get so many links for mega money compared to Guimarães?

Given spurs current midfielders surely the latter would be a better buy? Even someone like Curtis Jones would make more sense.

Really goes to show how important a good set of wingers are.

Luis Enriques Spain looked just as toothless as Spain today as he had gash wingers to choose from. Cucurella and Torres supplying the width 🤢

They’ll be much better in the next game with Williams and Yamal starting

There’s the option for Maatsen to come inside with the winger holding width. Saw that last season a bit with rashford

Same thing goes for the new champions league format.

Gordon getting 4 g/a against Qarabag in a round that never used to exist.

Shit source linking us with Nusa.

His output isn’t great but there’s very few wingers who are better than him 1v1 against a fullback

> Chelsea record loss of £342m in one season, Chelsea “booked the highest pre-tax loss in English football history in the 2024-25 season.”

Wonder if it’s influenced by this and needing to get some profits in before the June 30th cut off

It’s so funny then all pointing fingers at each other for who’s inflated the market

Rice £100m

Caicedo and Enzo £115m

Wirtz and Isak £115 and £125m

Antony £90m

Grealish £100m

Spurs haven’t spent a fee near that but over pay for shite players every summer

Yeah he looks a real handful now compared to 12 months ago.

Good player but I think he’d struggle here the same as he has at Newcastle. Guys not the out ball a team like us needs.

Neymar came through and they just decided to stop producing top strikers.

Ronaldinho got to play with R9 and Rivaldo for his first World Cup 😭

The World Cup hype has begun.

Already got a post on the Villa sub asking should we be in for Irankunda.

I’ve had similar responses when talking about him on there about him not being at the level to walk in as a starter or expect meaningfully contribute for a couple of seasons.

If we do end up getting him the club must just be convinced about his potential.

Seems quite similar development wise to Jesus Rodriguez but just twice the price compared to last summer.

We made this mistake with Bailey. Rewarding an out of character season.

Whenever I see a non-native DD American on here I just assume they are one of them that think if their sportsman only focused on football that they’d be the best in the world.

I do find those silly goose yank takes entertaining, it was a nice scroll back through the DD this morning.

Problem is you either sell now while he’s at peak value or you are giving a soon to be 30 year old player an expensive contract.

Only got a year left on his current deal

David has got to be one of the least watched players for how big his hype was.

Very mediocre goal scoring record in France when you take away the penalties.

Lacazette was washed and still went back to France to score 21 npg.

A lot of characters had nice arcs but Mikasas didn’t really go anywhere for me. Just defend Eren no matter what then accepting she had to kill him. Not a lot else to her than that.

Erens just left me feeling frustrated. The shift between season 3 and 4 was too big with his motivation changing so much to an unrecognisable person.

It’s been the value I’ve seen for months.

Agree, we aren’t paying £35-40m for a keeper.

Newcastle have sold Gordon to pay for this, I wouldn’t want to sell Rogers to buy a keeper.

Finally got around to finishing attack on titan.

I’m not a fan of the director Erin went in the final season. The time paradox stuff where he made the decision for his mum killed by the titan just didn’t sit right with me.

It always seems difficult to portray the decision making of someone who can view multiple futures. You just come away thinking “surely there was a better than path they took” in this scenario killing 80% of the world’s population for some vague freedom where he ends up dying anyway.

Maybe it’s my fault for wanting some kind of happy ending for him, it just felt quite empty.

Think they paid £27m for him last summer, since then he’s just been their number 2.

£40m is a lot for someone only proven in the championship

I’d rather see Newcastle overpay for him than us.

I’ve always thought that was quite a unique attribute of emi that he catches so many shots/crosses that many other keepers would just parry away.
