    Agreed. Although based on how the other second strikers were treated, Dembele would’ve only gotten 5 minute cameos here and there so we’d have probably sold him by now, having scored something like 6 goals in 40 sporadic and short appearances.

    Because if he does fail (I think he will), then he will be sacked and receive his usual compensation of tens of millions of pounds

    Semedo can play on the left or right so would be a good signing.

    For the money he would cost, I can see Spurs going for Max Aarons instead

    Semedo's one of those players who is perpetually linked with a move but never does, sort of like Isco, so I'm not convinced - especially since we've been linked with him repeatedly for at least a year

    Anyway, in other news...

    Soumare Watch
    Lille say he can go this month for €50m (which is approximately £47.6bn thanks to some dullards getting duped by a bus four years ago) - although RMC report he wants to sit tight until the summer. Don't worry, I have a gif for that...

    ...on the other hand, a spanner being thrown into the works with only a couple of weeks of the transfer window to go? Sounds like he'll be a Spurs player come February 1st to me

    Lower League Rando Watch
    It's been...almost three days since we were linked with one, so today we've been linked with Middlesbrough's 19-year old right back Djed Spence, presumably because he looked pretty good against us in the FA Cup the other day

    Somebody might want to tell our scouting team the way our team was set up might have had something to do with him looking pretty good against us in the FA Cup the other day...

    Geezer has the best celebration in football. **** so far this season (so he’d fit in well here) but was unreal last year. I’d rather a loan to buy move as it could be risky.

    Good return of goals the last couple of seasons (13 in 19 for Genoa, 9 in 18 for Milan) but just 4 in 18 this season...although that makes him their joint-top scorer this season, so the fault doesn't necessarily lie with him

    That being said, he's a classic poacher, and given I was saying for a couple of years that our system needs a poacher off the bench rather than a target man he could prove a useful option on loan - and the following passage on his Wikipedia page is interesting...

    Although flattered by the comparisons with a star compatriot Robert Lewandowski, Piątek has named Harry Kane as his role model.

    Anyway, let's get to the important things, namely stalking his wife...

    Sources in Croatia have linked us with Rijeka's 20-year old DM (Ctrl + C) Ivan Lepinjica...and the fact I managed to copy his entire name put me one ahead of Spurs Web, who had me trying to find info on "Ivan Lepinji" for ten minutes that mainly took me to Croatian cookery sites as a lepiniji is a staple of Croat cuisine that can best be described as a sausage donor

    Where was I?

    Oh right, Lepinjica is reportedly available for £4.2m, which in this day and age is an absolute steal and he's the exact sort of player we should be scouting as it will piss off both Danny Rose and Harry ****espout to the point one of them might do us all a favour and **** the **** off - although to be brutally honest, finding any hard data is pretty goddamn difficult and I'm basing a lot of what I'm saying on him being a potential beast in FM20, albeit a beat in the Winks/Skipp role which we're pretty well stocked in with...well, Winks and Skipp

    Right...

    With Harry Kane ruled out until April (see Physio Watch) we need to plug the gap and we need it plugged PMFQ

    Obviously this means Son'll start up top at the weekend, at least until he gets sent off while conceding a penalty when the ball hits him on the shin near the centre circle, but for the immediate future we have to acknowledge that Parrott is an asset and needs to be used as such and he needs to get time on the pitch instead of once again thinking that Lucas can do a job up there because he's quick

    If there's substance to the Piatek loan rumours, push the issue. We need a striker and we don't want him showing up at the end of the month - and if we're thinking that Son will play up top, the same goes for the Lemar loan rumours

    But more than anything else, don't pretend that our midfield doesn't exist...actually, wait, acknowledge that our midfield doesn't exist

    The only way I'm trying to look at this is we have a RB lined up ready to join, whether it's Aarons or Semedo or an other.

    It HAS to be the reason why.

    Rabiot Watch?
    Shyte Sports report that we're considering a loan signing to fill the central midfield gaps rather than make a signing

    Juve seem to be determined to offload the stroppy bugger six months after signing him, although said stroppy bugger says he's really, really happy

    There's only one way this is going to go, isn't there?

    KWP aren’t and Foyth aren’t up to the standard so no big loss, just hope it means replacements are closer to being signed though

    Rose isn't up to standard and he's still here being paid as much as the two of them combined

    Priorities, people

    Piatek rumours increasing tenfold now. More I hear of it the more I want it to happen, not even because of Kane's injury and the need for a new striker, I just want this celebration at WHL:

    PUM PUM PUM PUM PUM!

    I'd take Foyth ahead of Aurier, everyday of the week.
