BCM more to the point whassup at spurs? Selling off your players left right and centre? Rose and Trippier on their way?
Incoming to replace them or paying off the shiny new ground? :-)
McGuire deal I reckon on hold as price gap too big.
I've just seen Trippier to AM. Good business if they are getting similar money to Maguire, as they both dine out on the last World Cup.Incoming to replace them or paying off the shiny new ground? :-)

Does anyone seriously believe - I emphasise ‘seriously’ - that there are not better CBs available for £80-100m? It’s farcical to be even considering paying that.
It's the market value now. It may be ridiculous but what 4 years ago was a world record fee for a player maybe in the top 3 players in the world is today almost the base line for Joe average.For once I don't blame the English clubs, this was initiated in Spain and France.

He was by far the best of them all and had the potential to be one of Uniteds best ever midfielders. Just nothing between his ears sadly.
Yep, but I think the first part is probably an overstatement. Time has shown he was nothing like that talented, hasn’t it? Maybe that’s unfair.

They must have something in the pipeline? They can't sell Trippier, Rose, Alderweireld and Eriksen then not replace them? If that's the case then Spurs will struggle this season.Incoming to replace them or paying off the shiny new ground? :-)

Does seem strange to be selling off all their fullbacks though - especially as they are such an important part of the modern attacking game.

Maybe that’s unfair."He'd be there one minute and then the next day you wouldn't see him for a week. It was very strange. Then he'd just walk in after that week like nothing had happened with a little smile on his face like a cheeky kid."

Lukaku not in the match day squad despite OGS saying the other day he would feature. Looks like he could be on the way out! Can't say I'm happy or unhappy if he goes tbh. Playing in the right system we all know he can bag at least 20 a season.
I was hoping he'd stay the despite all the comments made about him he does bang goals in regular, unlike martial, Rash, Sanchez.
