“Other clubs can go out and spend more money and collect top players, yes....Do I have to do it differently to that? Actually, I want to do it differently. I would even do it differently if I could spend that money. The day that this is football, I’m not in a job any more.”
Fucking hypocritical gurning cunt. Don't expect the fawning media to remind him of this mind
If an un-shakeable desire for Martial is what's causing us to risk spending the entire window in a stalemate with Utd. I think that's fool-hardy...
I know we have a fair few Martial advocates on here, but can anyone say they think Martial (and Martial only!) is THAT essential to the bigger picture?
I fear we get too tunnel visioned at times regarding non-essential deals (GKN being the obvious) and waste time; create urgency elsewhere when there once was none.... I hope this isn't going to be another example. Time is at a premium this time round as it is.
Assuming that Levy inevitably wants top whack for Toby and meanwhile is offering peanuts for Martial (i.e. best of both worlds), maybe we'd stand a better chance of getting closer to the right price for Toby if we ended our interest in Martial; took, say £65m (rather than the alleged £75m)... Moved on and spent it elsewhere...? Esp. given the circumstances of this specific window(*)....
(*Which is the key to why the minimal activity approach may well prove wiser than many think providing Poch believes that the suitably fit & recouped players can hold the fort accordingly early doors... It's just a bitch we have a couple playing silly buggers + Dembele's twilight hour to contend with. Think many clubs will be regretting voting yes to the early window closure this season too... Never made sense to me unless it was going to somehow be applied similarly to all leagues.)
So it looks like the peaky blinder wannabe is going to our first summer signing.
It’s not bowling me over to the desired state of arousal, but if the reports are correct, £20 million and a £20k a week contract isn’t at all bad in today’s market.

I'm still open on Malcom though. Teams like Inter Milan are putting bids in for him it seems so maybe he's still got the class even if his end of season fizzled out. I'd still be happy with giving him a go if getting someone like Martial doesn't work out
Jack Grrrrrreeeealish to Spurs!
Jeeeeezus. That’s gotta be up there amongst the worst gifs I’ve ever seen.
So do we hate Grealish because of his punchable Peaky Blinders face or like him because he is young and Poch can mold him?
Or do we hate that it didn't break the transfer free record? Or like him because its a shrewd signing in a crazy transfer market?
I need to know now so I can have the correct reaction when its official.

This fills me with so much joy.
Just so he can come on against West Ham and boil Wilshere’s piss.
1 goal in 14 games last season. Thrilling. Granted, those 14 games only amounted to 300 or so minutes.
Unfortunately, he's nowhere near the level of the premier league, never mind Tottenham.
Christ, how lucky is she that she only got memed swallowing a fish!
I'm suprised he clocked up that many minutes tbh.
I s'pose 1 in 3.5 ain't too shabby.
