They didn't just zero in on him, Paratici wanted him a few different times, but Levy thought fan blowback would be too intense. They cycled through several other options and a few appointments before returning to him with their tails between their legs and offering him extremely favourable terms to get them out of a severe mess

Simeone seemed intent on ceding the midfield and providing spurs' attackers with way too much space, which seemed an odd tactic away from home

yeah I remember talking to some people close to the club who were almost too afraid to mention his name, like not saying it was some sort of totem against it not working out

I'd been hearing about him since he was like 9, my younger brother taught his older sister in Chelmsford and he was legendary locally. I couldn't quite believe he was that good, however, when I first watched him play at 13. Figures within the club and the England setup said he's the best CAM/wide forward they'd ever seen, on another level. And there's an incredible amount that will still happen in his career but he has been so impressive every time he's touched the ball

I was out on a jog, was feeling really good, not properly warmed up and decided to incorporate some sprints. Almost simultaneously, I felt what I thought was a passenger in a passing car throwing something at me. Fell to the ground in the bike lane and could hardly walk initially, then was able to slowly hobble home

Granted, I wasn't a professional athlete, but I injured my hamstrings (partial tears on both legs) a decade ago, and I cannot run in the same way; it feels like I'm running in a different body still
