If the unsettling is done, the injury is moot. The price however is a different story (think the Spurs valuation of Gazza pre/post 1991 FA Cup final) .
Preferably the latter, as it would mean that we won't be seeing Eden Hazard for the rest of the decade.
Doesn't the precious ickle Hazard PL flower only bloom once every two seasons anyway ( "fracture" of its "ankle" or otherwise) ??
Celtic are preparing a bid to make Patrick Roberts' loan a permanent deal. I bet Roberts is so happy he chose City over us...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40164572 Theoretical question: If Van Dijk is valued at £50m, and Toby is twice as good as him in every aspect of the game... Does that mean Toby is worth £100m?
Reports out of Holland say that it wasn't just the allure of the Dortmund job that appealed to Peter Bosz, as he also couldn't wait to get the hell out of there due to the usual internal struggles that blight the club. The crux of the issue was that, back in 2010, the club essentially split down the middle, with one faction following Cruyff while the other followed De Boer. The issue is that Bosz was from the Cruyff faction, yet the assistants - not assistant managers, you understand, but "assistants" - he was expected to work with (and certainly not allowed to replace) all came from the De Boer faction, and they were constantly trying to impede Bosz's work at the club, being openly critical of his tactics and training methods, even though they were quite obviously working. Of particular note is one of those assistants who is getting the brunt of the criticism, and happens to have previous when it comes to falling out with managers he is supposed to be assisting: Dennis Bergkamp, and what is particularly damning is the fact that Bergkamp replaced their academy director Wim Jonk solely for political reasons, replacing him with Said Ouaali so he had a compliant ally for the next head coach he could constantly bitch and snipe about. ...and, of course, Goons are rushing to r/soccer to defend Bergkamp against these accusations, because they cannot accept the idea that someone who once played for them is a nasty little ****.
Liverpool have issued a full and unreserved apology for the manner in which they approached Van Dijk, and have officially ended all interest in the player. Rumour has it that Klopp met with the player and his agent a month or so before the season ended. That deserves a nice sarcastic round of applause. Or better still...
Is the apology for their attempted at tapping-up van Dijk, or is it for getting caught? Given they also got reported for trying to tap-up Ziege and Dempsey, I think we can make a reasoned guess.
sorry RCL but thats rubbish we never tapped up a kid from Stoke we just offered his family banned inducements to sign for us
My bad I offer sincere apologies for the misunderstanding and no longer have an interest in pursuing the matter
Can I report Solid_Air 2 to the super mods for having said nice things here about Spurs this season ?? Obvious case of "tapping up" our denizens with a view to getting them to transfer to the Poool board.
