The headline

 

Surely Chelsea aren't selling Giroud to us, so it's an irrelevance?

So, Benteke....would ya?

I'm pretty sure that chips are a bad idea for you, Danny...

No his record at Palace is truly appalling I would rather try and get Glenn Murray who can't get a game at Brighton, or I am sure that I saw somewhere that Salomon Rondon could be available for loan.

 

Benteke is a widnae.

Murray is a good shout. Had a decent record last season, knows the league, home grown and is an absolute bully.

 

A clear transfer policy has emerged for Spurs. Buy young players with potential, but some level of proven already.
Presumably to ensure a resale value of they prove not to be an ideal fit.
Is Mourinho the manager to make this work given his track record of wanting to buy the finished article for maximum impact as quickly as possible?
Is it just a recognition that Spurs can't - or don't want to- compete in the transfer market he would normally want to recruit from?

 

Ade’s free.

Just sayin’.

 

Pies and Brown Ale

 

Rondon's a decent shout.

Of course, we'll almost certainly fail to get someone signed in time...like Dybala, Moutinho, etc.

 

With my FIFA head on I could suggest Cedric Bakambu scored shed loads for me - if the FIFA rankings are to be believed he has a similar skillset to Rashford

 

I would think that this was the market he was told he was working in when he signed up for the job - maybe it's time for him to show that he can operate in a different way to the spend spend spend he has used in the past.

 

Do they sell fried mars bars

 

From having gone to uni there I can confirm that yes, if you look in the right place, they do

 

Double posted for some reason so - no to Bentekkers, yes to Murray

 

I saw an interesting thread on Twitter this morning from an English journalist based in Italy who covers Serie A for an English speaking audience. He obviously follows the game week on week and basically said that Piatek plays like a player whose confidence is totally crushed, to the point that even when he tries the simple things it goes to ****. He continues to say that bringing him in to an underperforming Spurs side to replace Kane would be madness. Hertha are a mid table nobody side who would be grateful to stay up and that is more or less where he belongs to rebuild his confidence.

Have to say I agree with that. We'd been there before with Janssen watching his confidence visibly drain by the week.

Which is why - for the time being - it makes so much sense to go for a player at the end of their career with nothing left to prove and therefore no confidence issues. This is why Llorente succeeded where Janssen failed. And it is why Giroud makes a lot of sense as a short term fix.

 

Then you need to get a move on and offer more than £10m
Lazio are trying to sign Giroud and offering a two and half year contract.
Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign William Jose.

Not many left to chase in one day.

 

All good, D.

We'll take Willian Jose then
