In other news, not unrelated to transfer news:
Pochettino is stalling on new contract according to Danish media.
For that reason all of Eriksen (knew that already), Kane and Vertonghen have posthoned all contracted talks until close season.
Everton. What a non-club. Totally inconsequential. Thanks for making up the numbersI know this isnt to do with you lads. We want Besic to be our Dembele...hopefully he soon will be
I'd take Ibe. Benteke can fuck offI am somewhat more updated on Spurs transfers then i am of EFC, for whatever reason.
West Ham are planning a massive spend on Michy to trump you all ends up. as in 30+million. Whereas you will more likely pay that for Lacazette and Umtiti.
Also little rumour around Liverpool that you have asked LFC for Benteke and Ibe. joint fee - don't know the truth, just pub chat

Haha i was about to attack you for being a bit stuck up if James Rodriguez wasnt good enough for us but then i read your second post.Shit, sorry, I misread the original post, I thought it said Jay Rodriguez, not James. James is definitely good enough.
But how many players like Dembele are there ? I d say very fewHe played in that position, definitely not in that role. Schneiderlin isn't a great dribbler, he's not a good water carrier. Schneiderlin is more of a ball winner/passer than he is a ball carrier. Schneiderlin plays much more like Xabi Alonso, he's a very good defender as well as a good passer. He's much more similar to dier than he is Dembele in my opinion.
If we want someone to replace or be a back up for Dembele they need to be able to draw three or four players onto them before they release their pass or make their dribble.
Ibe isn't, and never will be, good enoughI'd take Ibe. Benteke can fuck off
He's 20 years old - lolIbe isn't, and never will be, good enough
He's a scouse Townsend, imagine having to endure those post-match interviewsHe's 20 years old - lol

I think it's harsh to write him off at 20He's a scouse Townsend, imagine having to endure those post-match interviews

James Ward-Prowse, Batshuayi, Umtiti.
I'm happy with those 3. Wouldn't mind Jay Rodriquez though.
Stupid statementIbe isn't, and never will be, good enough
