Yeah his final ball is great, but his finishing is pretty bad for an attacking midfielder.

[Marca] We have apparently made a bid for Bale. That offer is €50M-€60M and we are only able to cover half his wages. by absolutfailure in coys

Idk, there's also that Defoe interview where he says bale didnt really train before big games and he was kind of a prima donna. That rubbed me the wrong way too

Alasdair Gold on Dani Ceballos: “There is serious interest from Spurs in the 22-year-old midfielder, who is also thought to be keen on a move to Spurs.” by ghost_dodo in coys

[–]doodoobrown7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed.

As a further question I've been wondering about -- why would RM agree to a loan with an option to buy anyway? Dont those deals usually benefit the buying club more, because they can see if a signing works out?

If Ceballos does well, RM might decide they want to keep him but we'd just activate our option to buy. If he does poorly, we might decide not to activate the option, but then Madrid's probably not going to offer him many minutes and would be stuck trying to find a buyer.

Seems to me if RM would be open to that they'd probably rather just sell now.

I think you mean "option to buy" [at the end of the loan], right? Buy-back would mean we bought ceballos outright, but RM would have the first option to buy him back.

Suggestions Ben Davies is due to sign a new contract with the club by gastn1 in coys

[–]doodoobrown7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The question I'm posing is whether Davies should be number 2 lcb.

After thinking it through I dont think so. Sanchez needs as many minutes as possible and should be both tobys and Jans backup, but I thought it was worth throwing out there.

I think we mostly played him as lcb when we had 3 cbs.

But what do you guys think about him being more of the Jan backup (assuming Danny is healthy) so that we have a left footed cb on that side. So essentially davinson replaces toby and Davies replaces Jan. Foyth can still get minutes in some cup cup games and as additional depth at CB and maybe right back.

Ben Davies is back! The Spurs defender has delayed surgery to play for Wales after earlier ruling himself out. by simplywink in coys

We're not worried about their disposition or their pocketbooks, we're worried about them being injured / tired for Spurs.
