Real Sociedad reject latest Tottenham bid for Willian José - Get Spanish Football News
Real Sociedad have rejected Tottenham Hotspur's latest offer for Willian José, according to freelance journalist Roberto Ramajo.getfootballnewsspain.com
"Spurs have offered €25m but La Real want €50m"
perhaps
Bill Madrid
?
You mean like Soldado?Never knowingly seen him play, but likeTotti said... 45 in 111 ain't bad... Esp. for a back-up.
You haven't see him either, you said he 'aint bad' which doesn't really answer my question whether you think he's a good signing or not.LOL
"Jut (nay-)sayin'... "
Depends, it's a decision JM will have to make, Kane is back in April.
If Willian is a success all well and good, if he isn't that's 18m he won't have to spend come the summer and another player that he will struggle to get rid of.
To dare is to do eh?
Not signing a striker will obviously be a disaster we can't buy goals recently and struggle to keep.clean sheets.
Signing a backup striker may lumber us with a player who's not up to snuff, but better to take a risk and go for it rather then pick the option that will obviously be a disaster
Hahahah, so typically you!

I'll openly admit that my opinion don't mean shit on this one.... Much like yours... Only difference is one of us is pre-disposed to gun it down by default.
Ah, but that'll provide welcome ammo for further moaning later down the line.

I'm not saying don't be daring but perhaps look at someone a bit younger that might offer us better value.
There is no striker in the world that we can guarantee would come in and hit the ground running straight away. Added to the fact that January is a very tough time to try and sign quality, I think we have to be realistic in what kind of striker we can hope to get.
18 million on a striker that that has a 1in2 ratio, knows one of our players (lucas), is at the peak age of 28, and also holds the physical attributes to deal with the premier league?
That sounds like an absolute bargain to me mate. We only need the guy to fill in for when kane is sitting games out.
It's an interesting one, and seems to be indicative of how Mourinho is recruiting.
Out and out I'd prefer Piatek, but it might be that Willian Jose suits our system more.
We need a striker, I'll be happy when the club gets one, and interested in how it plays out regardless.
Like I said you said he 'ain't bad'Hahahah, so typically you!

I just want to be clear whether you think he will be a good or a bad signing.
'Ain't bad' but you're not saying he's good.
Pitaek?
Someone younger and wanted at his club will cost a good 50% premium in Jan. And likely not be be happy to sit on the bench here.
Ideal is someone like Jose who likely knows this will be his last big move will be getting a pay rise at the same time and playing in better competitions.
Piatek is also an option but having actually watched a fair wack of him he's a great finisher when in the mood but his build up play is heavy footed and slow. With Moura Ali and Son already like that we would be asking for trouble there IMO. But when Kane's back I could see Piatek leading the line and Kane replacing Ali.
Also we already have Parrot who looks young and amazing we need someone to plug the gap to allow him to develop and then replace Kane.
The right kind of age, but your description of him doesn't sound promising.
Thank fuck someone got that...
You're trying to leave yourself an out, he 'ain't bad' but he's not good either.
I least I'm prepared to commit to an opinion.
Coutinho 'transfer blow' shows how far he's fallen since leaving Liverpool
Philippe Coutinho seemingly had the world at his feet as the focal point of an emerging Liverpool team, but since leaving for Barcelona things have come crashing down
www.mirror.co.uk
The Brazilian is on loan at Bayern Munich, and according to Bild, the Bundesliga giants have no intention of signing him permamently.
When Coutinho made the switch to Germany at the start of the season a buy-out clause was inserted in the deal.
Bayern Munich have no plans to trigger this, meaning Coutinho - who clearly hasn't impressed in Germany - is back at square one when he returns to Barcelona at the end of the season.
The Catalan giants do have a new boss, and he may wish to take another look at the Brazilian.
But if he doesn't, then Coutinho's agent Kia Joorabchian is facing a stressful summer in which he'll have to find his client a new club.
