Transfer Rumours transfer thread fact and fiction

Toby's exclusion is in line with how Wanjama Dembele, and Lamela were 'looked after' when first returning from injury. In fact Dembele's return may have been too quick and Pochettino has therefore been even more cautious bringing players back since then. You could also argue that with Rose as well.
But that's a boring story and people prefer the more dramatic possibility of players falling out and looking for a move. Personally I find this constant looking for an angle from the media just as boring and just as annoying. The football is not enough for these guys because they don't have the talent to write properly about the drama on the pitch and so resort to made up crap.

 

Ah, SSN.

They who led Spurs 606 to mockingly create the
"Sky Sports understands" label (which is as
funny as when Ian Hislop used to say "allegedly"
all the time as a joke in the early days of HIGNFY) .

 

What Spurf said

 

The Juve match is going to be a tough game for those that play. Unless they are 100% fit, Poch will only include them if he has no other options. In Toby's case, Poch does have other options, so he will not play Toby. This is especially the case with Toby, who has only just returned from injury.

That is the be all and end all of it.

Poch is not Wenger. He does not run players into the ground, unless there is absolutely no other option for him.

 

Or lots of other managers who rush players back.
Ibrahimovic: declared himself fit ahead of schedule, Jose played him in one game and he hasn't been seen since.

 

90% of the squad not featured - mass exodus in the summer!

 

Random Ligue 1 Starlet Watch
Reports are saying we've sent scouts to watch Toulouse centre back Issa Diop, albeit with the usual suspects also linked. Somehow none of the article mentioning him have decided this means Toby is obviously leaving this summer, but give it time.

Random Eredivisie Starlet Watch
Ajax striker Justin Kluivert has said he;d be open to a move to Spurs if we made a bid...or to Man Utd...or to Chelsea...or to Arsenal - but only those four!

 

Son of Hazard. < decline >

 

Not City or Liverpool, then? Seems... unlikely.

 

Malcom Watch
He's said that Bordeaux are willing to let him leave this summer. Don't suppose cash + Llorente would work?

 

Did they only have white flour?

 

Same Old Same Old Watch
Habitual linkee Timo Werner has rejected Taurine FC Leipzig's contract offer, putting numerous clubs on alert before he inevitably signs for Bayern.

 

Apparently, 'Pool, United and Chelsea are "on alert" since Wanyama has "fallen out of favour" at Spurs!

Firstly, I though Wanyama had been injured, which was why Poch wasn't using him?

Secondly, when did Wanyama fall out of favour with Poch? I must have missed that.

Hack desperation has reached a new high.

 

Liverpool are monitoring Tottenham's 26-year-old Kenya midfielder Victor Wanyama amid uncertainty over 24-year-old Germany midfielder Emre Can's future at Anfield. (Mail)

 

The Mail somehow forgot that they (among others) were happy to speculate that Naby Keita's summer move from Taurine FC Leipzig could be moved forward to January

No wonder Centre Parcs don't want to be advertised in that rag...

 

Tottenham may consider offers for Belgium international defender Toby Alderweireld, 28, this summer but are confident they will keep all the players they wish to retain. (London Evening Standard)

Anyone know if there is a problem with Toby?

 

Yeh he hasn't signed a new contract yet

 

Yeah, the CL trophy is too heavy, he doesn't want to injure his back lifting it so he wants to get out before 26th May.

 

Rose Watch
Le Foot are reporting that PSG are considering a move for Danny Rose, although nobody can confirm or deny whether they intended to make a move for him last summer only for their DoF to Google the wrong Spurs left back and they ended up signing Yuri Berchiche instead...

 

City rumoured to be after Wiegl(sp) from Dortmund, MF, they want 40 mill for him

If true we should be in for him, he reminds me of Winks at times but seems more aggressive with his attacking play. I think he can be a top top player
