His accountant mate Matt Judge has taken over transfer and contract negotiations in full, who was apparently very involved before. Would just be funny if there is a repeat of last summer where all the reports were terms were agreed with Sancho at the start of the summer but never got close to Dortmund's valuation. Reports today are that Utds initial bid is 20 mill short of the asking price and Dortmund won't budge like they wouldn't last summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully they've not learned from last years failure and waste most of this summer trying to negotiate down the price, missing out on their other targets in the process.

Popular Post Guest Posted 10 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 10 June 2021 Think it's a bit early for the Spurs gloating frankly. We'd maybe have grounds to take the piss out of them for being #bottlers if we hadn't thrown away Champions League football twice in a row, or for being deluded if this forum weren't full of people who are convinced we're an established top four mega club having finished in the top four once. Given a full season without a manager who openly hates all his players, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they finish above us. It's not as if they're lining up Dave Hockaday, is it? 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bear Posted 10 June 2021 Share Posted 10 June 2021 (edited) Fonseca's not as bad as people are making out. He plays a mid-press possession based 4-2-3-1. Pep was a big fan of his Shaktar team. It wouldn't surprise me at all for him to be a success there and get them back into Europe. Edited 10 June 2021 by The Bear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given a full season without a manager who openly hates all his players, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they finish above us. It's not as if they're lining up Dave Hockaday, is it? For me it depends massively on forces outside Fonseca's control. If they line up on opening day with a front three from Kane, Son, Moura and Bergwijn then they should be a threat under any manager interested in actually attacking. You look at the midfield and their defence though and things start looking a lot less impressive, which means if they're going to be looking to make net transfer profit and sell one or two of that four? Eh. Good luck to em. Sentimental attachment to Vardy and deep loathing of Kane and Son aside, I'd swap their forwards for ours in a heart beat. The rest of our squad is objectively stronger than theirs all over the rest of the park mind and our gaffer is a much better coach. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get carried away with this top 4 narrative, bottlers don’t win trophies! I'm not getting carried away with any narrative. I hate the widespread use of the word "bottling" to mean anything short of total success. Sometimes teams achieve exactly what they're aiming to, most of the time they don't. They've had a pretty good decade or so punctuated by a few dodgy appointments and signings, so I'm not having that they're some sort of laughing stock because their owner is a melt and they fell away from a title race that they weren't really in to begin with. 1 hour ago, chapero82 said: I don’t get this bottlers narrative about us from last season, we wasn’t mikes ahead and we didn’t have enough depth within our squad because of injuries and unfortunately fell over just before the finish line I agree completely.

Jokes aside, just goes to show how fast a huge chunk of clubs are to sell their soul to relatively unknown overseas betting firms the moment the cash is wafted before them. Said it at the time, but while some here have their reservations at FBS being a stocks company, that's still far and away preferable to the murky underworld of the Asian gambling market.

Popular Post The Bear Posted 10 June 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 10 June 2021 It's true though.

Spurs never bottled 15/16 because they never led the league. If we overtook them to get to 1st I'd understand but they were 2nd for most of the season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
