How do they know each other, I wonder? Grealish played a lot of his youth football for Ireland, so it's not that.
 
Obvious Transfer Auction Alert
Like basically every team in with a shout of Champions League football who can afford to chuck £100k+ a week wages around, we're being linked with Benfica attacking midfielder Joao Felix - and those links (not just to us, but in general) got a hell of a lot louder after his hat trick against Eintracht Frankfurt last night

While I'm not going to deny his form in his debut season has been impressive, with ten goals and five assists in the Primeira Liga even though he missed a chunk of the early season with an ankle injury and spending a few games on the bench as he was lacking match fitness, it's still the Primeira Liga where Benfica only have to raise their game for the four league matches against Porto and Sporting every season, and given the numerous clubs being linked this one does feel like any attempt to bid will see us promptly outbid by one of the usual suspects

Or Wolves.
 
Or Wolves.
He's not a Jorge Mendes client, so he probably won't be headed there

Another thing to mention is that, with interest in Luka Jovic heating up, Benfica will most likely cash in on one player but certainly not both - so a far more likely signing from Benfica would be their routinely-linked left back Alex Grimaldo (unless we're cursed, where we'll somehow end up taking Adel Taarabt back...)
 
Can someone put together a compilation of Erikson's dead all plays over his Tottenham career and send it to Real Madrid. Should be enough to put them off buying him .Can't remember the last time he consistently best the first man or got it past the wall.
He's joint-leader for assists this season with 12, alongside Eden Hazard

Somebody should really tell Harry Kane, Son Heung-min and Lucas Moura to stop running on to his through balls...

It is incredible, wait, incredibly frustrating I should say, that someone with perfect technique and vision has become so poor at dead balls. He can literally hit a ping pong ball into a nun’s snatch when the ball is rolling but ask him to beat the first man from a set piece and you’ve got more chance winning the lottery and Euro millions in the same week.
