CL possibly but Jose has immense pull in the game. Wages wouldn’t have been an issue, he’s taking a near £200k a week cut to join Chelsea. £300k to £110k.
Typical, Messi's image rights are so complicated that if you don't pay up he appears in a lower resolution...
Matt Doherty looking likely as the new RB/RWB Just hope he’s as good as the last Doherty to play for Spurs #gingerpele
Yeah I’m pretty sure he is. 15m is a good deal if true for a player with I think 3 years left on his contract, even if he is in his late 20s.
Solid signing, isn’t one that’ll get you off your seats but these sort of signings tend to do well for Spurs. Him and Hojbjerg bring Prem proven experience to the fold and both are upgrades on their respective positions. £15m if true is also really good value. Yeah he definitely is.
Will that definitely mean Aurier is sold? Guessing Aurier will go for around £20million so that will bring the net spend to around zero for the summer but with 3 signings done. Leaves money over for a ‘marquee’ signing
The Ndombele-Inter rumours have resurfaced now that Conte is set to stay at Inter. I must admit I’m starting to really believe that Ndombele doesn’t want to be here, the ITKs (take with salt) aren’t saying too many nice things about him and are suggesting his team are pushing for a move but whether that’s true or not, I think someone in his position, being a club record signing who’s had a tough season, could’ve come out on social media by now and said something along the lines of “let’s go for next season” or something on that wavelength to indicate he’s willing to prove himself. All hypoethical of course but if we could agree a swap deal with him and Skriniar (ideally getting cash too but doubtful) and then try to get Rakitic if those links are true, that’s a scenario I’d be all for.
It sounds like Leverkusen have leapfrogged Milan in the race for him so I’d imagine so. I’d imagine Doherty will be come in as first choice and if the Ipswich game is anything to go by, Gedson will be his understudy.
Is this Doherty thing real then? Assumed it was twatter bollocks cos I don't see why wolves would want to 1. Sell him 2. Strengthen us
If Levy reads this he will say " why do we need to buy a marquee when we can get a pup tent from milletts "
Wolves appear to be signing a young right-back from Valencia and the journos seem convinced. We'll see, I guess.
He does: https://www.premierleague.com/players/4229/Matt-Doherty/overview However, it's weird: he was born in January 1992 but signed for Wolves in August 2010, which means that technically he shouldn't be HG as he was at Wolves for two and a half years before his 21st birthday...and I'll shut up now
