Highest share of pass value: No player was more important to his team’s ball progression than Aston Villa’s right central midfielder, John McGinn. His hyper-direct distribution accounted for 21.1 per cent of the team’s positive pass value as he repeatedly pushed the ball into areas where Villa were more likely to score. McGinn’s 74.0 per cent pass completion rate, near the bottom of Premier League central midfielders, was a trade-off Villa were happy to accept.
 
With any player this window really, for me it comes down to 'does Conte want him'.

I don't want anybody foisted onto Conte that he doesn't want, and can't see him standing for that.

So...if Conte wants him, I want him.
Yeah, at this point all my faith is in Conte and Paratici. Don't care who comes and goes, whoever is here come August is going to lift the first league trophy for Spurs in over 60 years come May.

We really need a Scot in our side, as all our successful sides (apart from the last time we won the League Cup)have had at least one -Mackay/White/Brown in 61; Gilly in 67 and early 70s; Archie in the 80s. In, 1991 we had Justin Edinburgh!
 
So you don't deny the Invernaewhere part then?

Honestly mate, Glasgow is the most embarrassing city in Scotland, and I'm including Dundee in that list.

I wouldn't live in your shitehole even if you paid me. As for Scottish football, who should we be proud of? Two Tattie munching twats that should probably head back to Ireland, or the two teams who have went through administration in the last 6 years?
 
Would have loved to see what a fit Huddlestone could have done after a full Poch pre-season
After a Poch Pre season Huddelstone would have jacked it all in, after being sick for the 20th time.

Notice how Tom watched his Diet and monitored his nutritional intake. That's a Mc D's healthy option meal!

Well, Stokes isn't Scottish, but, aye, I think he wouldn't be a bad signing as back up. Under the correct management, he is an excellent goal scorer.

McGinn bears no resemblance to Huddlestone. McGinn is the engine room of that Hibs team and, indeed, the Scotland team when he had his debut against Denmark and won man of the match. You've described him so incorrectly (big and pedestrian) I think you might have mistaken him for some other player. McGinn was wearing number 18. He's quite slight yet powerful. A sinewy little cunt of the highest order.

He's fucking crap as is Anthony Stokes who I believe is a failed gooner, neither would get anywhere near Tottenhams level in a million years , stop this nonsense.
 
The point still stands.

I was wetter than a haddock's gusset when we signed Rebrov and he was shite. And we sign Alli from MK and he's fucking amazing. Stats, previous teams, previous performances, etc mean fuck all. Many players have made the big time after being previously shite.

The whole Leicester team for example. Obviously a skip full of meds helps.....
My 'sign Anthony Stokes the 27 yr old Harry Kane' was not meant to be serious chaps.
 
Do they play duelling banjos much at Hibs. If not they should.


Think before you act Sausage.

No, ok, D buttons over there.
What the fuck are you on about?

I'm not around Easter Road much.

I lived just off it for about 4 months; must be ten years ago now. Top floor tenement flat. 2006 World Cup. I was pished every day. Either my zenith or nadir, depending on how you care to perceive it. I read books while sitting on the window ledge, legs dangling above the Leith street below. A city unwinding in that nocturnal half-light one can expect during a Scottish summer. Could never recall much plot - one of the things about drunken reading. Solzhenitsyn was a favourite at that time, I remember that much. Never owned a telly you see, so I watched the games in boozers and read in that one bedroom flat. Zidane added to his legend that year, as did Del Piero. I had a liaison with a German/Hungarian woman while her boyfriend fulfilled an ambition to travel in Argentina. We broke it off when I disappeared to Arizona for a wedding engagement. It was a splendid summer, all things considered.
