    I don't think he's particularly bothered by either outcome. being willing to let him go isn't the same wanting him to go.

    It could, however, be just the kick up the backside he needs to make him consistently perform to the best of his ability.

    I meant the player, as it's him who's been pushing for the move.

    I'd love the Mahrez of 15/16 all the time but he is extremely mentally weak. The best players have a desire to win and win and continue winning. I don't think he has that and would be a bad signing for Arsenal as they have enough of those type. Personally I think he should go to Monaco as it's an easier league and would allow him to stroll through matches

    How can you know that? What we know is that his nose was put out of joint because he wasn't picked for the FA Cup Semi-final. Beyond that - unless you know him - it's all guess work. He has never said he wants to go (indeed says the opposite when fans meet him) and beyond that is a lot of paper talk. Not saying he doesn't want to leave, but that is not the only possibility.
    This video doesn't prove anything one way or the other, but it certainly doesn't look as if he hates the club

  7. Personally, I hope he stays. We could well see the mercenary go on strike.

    Behave.

    It was widely reported that he'd fallen out with Poch last season, those stories didn't just all come out of a journo's arse.

    Yes, over non selection. I said that. The rest is gossip. Might be true, might not. I don't know and neither do you. I wouldn't put it it past the Manchester clubs to orchestrate a campaign given the rumours that he'd fallen out with Poch.

  10. Not true, Tel.

    None of us want any of Kane, Alli, Eriksen, Dier, Alderwiereld, Vertoghen, Lloris, Rose, Winks, Lamela, Wanyama or Dembele to leave.

    My own view is that he became a bit of a scapegoat for the team's poor form last season ... particularly for the more traditional fans who like to see their players "get stuck in" ... that's not his game ... the opposition often targeted him with robust or multiple marking and he didn't have the always there to support Kante to help him out so was often isolated or being ask to contest 40/60 balls ...

    I believe that with better players around him - particularly if playing in Europe rather than the EPL, he will flourish .. he's amazing in full flight ... his balance is superb ...

    Did either the club or the player deny it though?

  14. If your chairman insists on asking silly money for him, this is what you have got to expect, Johnny.

    Yeah mate, as that's really how it works.

    Press release: Spurs would like to confirm the recent press reports that Kyle Walker thinks Poch is a **** <rofl>

    Not seen any quote where he has actually said any of that John ... if I did I would be the first to criticise ... as to thinking he is too good ... Barca were interested if the reports are true ... even Messi is a 'fan' ... do you honestly think Barca will be linked with any other players of ours?

    Nobody denies they fell out - why are you fixated on that bit. Doesn't therefore follow that Walker wants to leave. Who knows if they had a chat after the season ended and sorted it out. They are not going to respond to rumours, anyway.

  19. Come on, Tobias! You know that's not how it works.

    Levy tends to keep his cards very close to his chest, you never hear him spouting off in the press. Same with Poch, he comes across as a very discrete man, very calm and serene. Neither plays the kinds of silly games that the news rags like to play.
