Sule is an incredible player, Hoffenheim keeps producing the goods.
They're a well-run club with a very promising young manager, but are facing the same glass ceiling of every German club. Anything too good gets stolen by Bayern. It's pretty depressing, but I do have to admire the inventiveness of those clubs trying to do it anyway.
If more English clubs were run this way then the PL would be much, much better. But change is very slowly happening, and I do wonder how much Brexit will hurt the process.
Mauricio Pochettino: Tottenham players would not take China's 'crazy' money
...
Costa was last week involved in a row with a Chelsea fitness coach and head coach Antonio Conte, having received a £30 million-a-year offer from China.
Pochettino has no such problems and is not worried about Harry Kane, who netted a hat-trick in this victory, or any of his other stars being distracted by the riches on offer in the Chinese Super League. Pochettino said: “It’s crazy money, it looks like they broke the market. If it’s true, it’s unbelievable but we will see what happens.”
Pochettino insisted he did not know of any Chinese offers for key players such as Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen, who also scored with a deflected strike on Saturday, but claimed Tottenham have developed a bond that would be tough to break with any amount of money.
“To be together and every player happy and part of our Tottenham family, I think we have a very good atmosphere around the club,” said Pochettino. “Our supporters are amazing and I think this is a very good mix between the club, the supporters, the players, the staff.
“I think it’s amazing day by day how we feel, how we live on the training ground. That is important in the end to try to win big things, to fight.”
Spurs are certainly fighting for big things again, even if Pochettino jokes that the only big change has been to his waistline. When he was asked if he is different for last season’s experience of missing out on the title, Pochettino replied: “No, I am the same, maybe a little bit fatter than last season!"

he's 15. And his dad does some scouting for us? looks like a favor to me.
Don't know. He has spoken though:
Unless we spend at least £80m this window, we're fucked. Shit teams like Burnley and Bournemouth will be overtaking us come February. Fucking joke of a club.
Maximus Tainio? More like Maximus Tinycock! Amirite??
I agree Zaha is better but not because he's younger, Janssen is younger than Kane after all.
So, could have been a favour, but only in the sense of giving him the chance, with the rest up to him.
Mmmm, I wonder what lady Brady has to say about that.
Btw he's either eats and drinks at right cheap gaffs, is a tight cunt or Everton are paying him peanuts .
Notice the hotel is the most expensive outlay. Says it all about his priorities
And taxi my arse, hell drink and drive like any proper Footballer

I'm wondering wether if this Chinese thing escalates cunts like Abramovich decide enough is enough and fuck off out of football. The day he pulls the plug on Chelsea and they start their slippery slide back to their natural place in footballs food chain will be a day of massive celebration for me

I still think signing a striker this window would be a bonus. We were stung before when we signed Saha and then fell off..
I know we have Janssen, but I just don't think he's ready for the pressure he'll have off the game yet. Son is good, but is not a striker.
The only problem we have is who is available or good enough? It's probably harder than ever to sign a top draw striker nowadays.
For the 5 months remaining then someone like Defoe would be ideal, but for what relegation is worth Sunderland would want £25m+ for him.

I think that another striker will be needed to make us competitive all all fronts and competitions. But the question is who can that be? Defoe will be too much, the only player I can think of is Jese, who is out of favour at PSG, a loan to buy option for him would be a great shout. Or maybe Mark Uth?
A levy wheeler dealer deal like Saha a few years ago wouldnt be too bad.

Lamela. Very capable player of having his back to goal, player a pass then running in behind for the return pass.
I think he's a potential forward if we get desperate.
Never seen Zaha dominating midfields in a European international to be fair.
Once he hits his stride, this comparison is going to look even more silly.
Zaha = Townsend in my opinion
