Seems as if Steinsson has lost the behind-the-doors Parataci replacement struggle if true:

he was awful for everton i was suprised we even went after him

 

[tommyboyspurs]

Liverpool after Tapsoba too

DOF news incoming?

Gold noted that Leonardo Gabbanini is the one growing in power behind the scenes. Apparently other clubs are after him as DoF. This move could be to appease Gabbanini's vision.

It’s not about the player in either example.

It’s not about the player in either example.

Not Modric but Bastoni and surely it is about the player. Its about what they want.

If the reports coming out saying that they want to stay - and not just from Spurs but if I remember correctly independent sources. Then its not always as simple as just chucking more money at them. Some will take the money and some won't.

Club needs money, player agrees to move “for the club”

Can you really persuade yourself Tonali wanted to leave his dream club and the city of Milan…. For fucking Newcastle??

Give over

 

[Richard Arlison]

Ah here it is. Was waiting for the first one to go “conspiracy” or tin foil hat.

Clearest sign you’ve won the debate and they feel insecure.

 

[Richard Arlison]

He joined our academy at aged 11.
Was there from 2009 - 2016
Then on the senior books 2016 - 2022

Oh ok then. Not as bad. Hardly exciting but whatever

 

[dondo]

Give a shit he’s not all that anyway, especially for the transfer fee and wages it would take to get him. We need players on the way up not on the way down thinking they are doing us a favour signing up

 

[Richard Arlison]

It’s not about where the club is. Although, if it were then you weaken your own argument because Inter are clearly ahead of us (domestically and internationally) and were last summer.

The fact that Milan get 70m (in one lump or more) has no bearing on whether Tonali would accept a move. Some players at any given time, due to their circumstances, will move to a specific club for a larger pay packet and others, due to their circumstances, won’t move.
It’s why we have a good shot at getting Maddison, who for personal reasons, prefers to move to London over Newcastle.

Tonali just happened to have a burning desire to leave his dream club and the city of Milan because he wants to learn how to speak Geordie?

Obviously the club persuaded him to go because they wanted the money,

Newcastle helped by offering him big wages.

Oh well…

Our performance was so well directed last year…

Mate this is getting silly. Can you really not accept that every human being is different, has different circumstances at any given time, and therefore one might accept a move when another might not. Is that not possible?

I've enjoyed many of your posts in recent days, but on this it seems you're doubling down presumably to save face when all logic says that the alternative might be possible - not definite, I accept that, but a possible explanation for what happened with Bastoni.

 

[Richard Arlison]

Liverpool after Tapsoba too

AAAAAND THERE IT IS!!

Did anyone take me on my bet?

 

[Nuts]

We were never in for Laporte either

Knowing us we’re busy trying to find a £2m knockoff called Lafenetre instead.

 

[Get in!]

If we're looking for #8s, thoughts on Ounahi? Looked great at the World Cup with Morocco. Moved from Angers to Marseille in Jan for €8 million, so €15 million could do the trick.

He couldn't have been very good; not once was he reported to intervene and say "Nah, mate.... Not like THAT!"

Ok.

I can be wrong if it makes you feel comfortable?

What else would you call a claim where you have absolutely no proof to back it up other than your unproven theory?

All of that is true.

It is also the case that an exciting project offering high wages and CL football has a way of attracting players who might otherwise be unwilling to consider moves.

Not only are different people different, different circumstances are different. The same guy might make a different choice on a different day.

It all nets out to Yoda's insight. Do or do not, there is no try.
