Pretty sure Carroll, Chadli and bentaleb will go. Not sure about yedlin though
Levy is such a slut. He would absolutely dump Chadli for that new Nkoudou dick.no way we would just dump Chadli for a guy like Nkoudou
For experience of champions league & global statement, surely a loan deal for Schweinsteiger makes sense. He's certainly out of United
Who else is on your transfer wish list? David Beckham? How about Lothar Matthäus? Or why not Ruud Gullit? Fuck it, we could put bids in for all three. Who do we contact? Not sure anyone has tried your transfer strategy before. We're breaking new ground.Schweinsteiger would be a signing for the experience. His attitude is second to none. I would sign him for no other reason than having a player with great winner instinct in the squad. While we wouldn't sign him for his playing ability alone, he has all the qualities you look for a player when when we need someone to calm things down when we're 0-1 up away at Dortmund or Woolwich. His legs may be gone, but not his mentality which is where such a signing would make sense.
That fella you have spent 1043 posts hyping up plays at the second Scottish level, which is on par somewhere between the Championship and League One. He has one cap for Scotland and might be really good. Still, players from that level have seriously lot to prove to be anything near good enough to be bought be Spurs at the age of 21,5 years old.
Marcus Edwards being the highest rated?Literally nobody but our fans is linking us with tielemans and the idea of us signing the second highest rated young midfielder in Europe is very similar to bale returning tomorrow. It's a pipe dream sadly.
Zidane has hinted at an Isco exit. Do you think we have a chance with him? He'd be a great acquisition imo
The values of the transfers this summer are just unbelievable.
It is leaving a very bitter taste in my mouth.
At some point football at the higher end will conpletely lose touch with reality.
I mean at what level does a player who costs 10 million become a good investment let alone one who may cost multiples of that cost?
Sickening.

Bazali , you've got loads of experience, fancy a game? We need some old, wise cunt to calm the boys down at half time away to Dortmund.
Wouldn't surprise me if Winks breakthrough in pre-season has sort of made up Pochs mind on Carroll to be honest. He now knows he has a younger player who is better on the ball, stronger on the ball, looks better positionally and looks like arguably a better passer.
I'm sure there's a little Johnny out there who can't go to Eton because his dad would rather get Sky Sports instead...So you're going to stop watching football, then? Because you are, and we all are, the reason the money involved in football is so enormous. Stop bitching and continue enjoying it, or stop watching. So very, very tired of people complaining about the money in the game as if football is raiding the schools budget to stuff their coffers with ill-gotten gains.
I know a small puppy could have knocked Inter's midfielders off the ball at times this afternoon but even so, I was impressed by Wink's toughness, as well as his eye for a pass

Schweinsteiger has aged terribly, some players at 32 and above if they are special like Ibrahimovic you might think yeh why not. Problem is that Schweinsteiger has had serious injury issues over several years and his body seems like that of a 40 year old, he even looks about 40 now.
He was an amazing world class player and at times maybe the best DM around but that was when he had his athleticism, a player whose game was so reliant of speed and power and has pretty much lost it is certainly for us not the purchase we need.
