The Morata story today : discuss. Pochettino neither confirmed nor denied it in the pre-match conference. Morata seems to have been courteous about all alleged PL suitors involved. I would be happy if it was true, and the club were doing pre-amble approaches while get Real Madrid were deciding whether to exercise their "buy back" right (a serious enquiry - not a D1ldo bros effort) , as it shows the recruiting staff are being a lot more pro-active/serious than buy Sissoko on deadline day.
Ross Barkley has said the 2 words all clubs in 5th, 6th or 7th place dread - "Champions League". On the basis that Lukaku's impending departure means Everton aren't getting a sniff of it in this decade, 'the new Gazza, is on his way out of there. Could this be the reason why Koeman has accepted the lame excuse that Barkley was in that bar nursing a lime and soda and not 'refuelling'? I think so. Let's hope he is part of.Pep's English revolution with John Stones.
Lime & Soda my arse!! He was trollied, the stupid twat! Citeh? Who cares - just as long as he doesn't end up in N17!
Christian Pulisic is being linked - so expect several thousand comments about selling shirts in the US to follow... Also we keep being linked to every Turkish attacking midfielder born after 1990 - it's just I've never actually bothered mentioning their names on here because they're invariably made up by the Turkish press.
The Mail may have stumbled upon something. They have reported that Pep may not be able to recruit Dele Alli, Kyle Walker and Danny Rose because.....they have signed 5 year contracts and have CL football at Spurs. There's some suggestion that they may not want to leave. It's normal practice not to allow such trivia to get in the way of a good transfer fabrication. Could it be a new approach in football journalism, letting the facts get in the way of the story. I wonder if it will catch......of course it ****ing won't.
We're being linked with Bruma again, continuing the Turkish press' conviction that we are interested in players who either play for Turkey or play in Turkey - even though we have never had a Turkish player in our squad, and if memory serves we've never signed a player from a Turkish club either.
We nearly got Sir Les from Fenerbeche...... (one club removed) and Paul Stewart likes Turkey Twizzlers!!
Didier Zokora did play for Trabzonspor after leaving Spurs, although a couple of seasons at Sevilla were sandwiched between the two On the subject of sandwiches and Didier Zokora, when he was at Trabzonspor he sandwiched his foot between Emre's testicles - which looked a lot like this...
Emre was later prosecuted for racially abusing Zokora: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/27885093 That was why the whole team kicked the **** out of him, with a little extra from the man himself.
Which is a stark contrast to how so many in the English press were critical of Anton Ferdinand for breaking the omerta of the dressing room in the wake of John Terry calling him...well let's see what the official verdict says about that: https://www.theguardian.com/football/2012/jul/13/john-terry-cleared-anton-ferdinand
Le10 Sport are reporting that Marseilles have sent out feelers to Sissoko over a summer move, with club ambassador Basile Boli meeting with him to see if he's interested: https://le10sport.com/football/merc...rcer-des-discussions-pour-un-transfert-306544 Sources have yet to confirm or deny whether Spurs ambassadors locked Sissoko in the room and told him he couldn't leave until he listened to what Mssr Boli had to say.
Was that before or after he was released from hospital?? That really does have to be one of the most worthy of yellow cards f all time!!
And people complained about the Diamond Lights! Compared to his effort, he and Hod should have won a Novello Award!!
The Telegraph are reporting that we'll sign Michael Keane...as an Eric Dier replacement. In other words... please log in to view this image In more believable news, we're also being linked with Forest's 18-year old striker Ben Brereton, who broke into the side at the end of January and currently has three goals in fifteen games.
