    Did not know that was his middle name
    (so it cannot be said your anti-Levy fanaticism has no use) .

    You can't make any accurate criticism, apparently.
    He's got plenty wrong. There's no need to make up bullshit because you like dictators.

    I haven’t fact checked it but I think it’s correct as we were talking about numbers in the summer after signings back then but Danjuma’s - and Porro’s? - arrivals means some need to be cut from the CL squad to make space, ideally those cuts come from selling players.

    It’s likely going to be Gil, it should be Lucas but it could be both providing we don’t mess up the Porro deal. It could also be Emerson or Sanchez if we get any late offers, especially if as Ally Gold mentioned the other day that we may seek to make late signings if opportunities arise and bring forward summer recruitment plans.

    There was a rumour the other day about Inter wanting to sell Skriniar for €20m to avoid losing him for free in the summer, IF true, that’s something we could (and should) be all over.

    One or two more jumping on this story.

    Apparently Sampioli considers him a priority signing and tried getting him when in charge of Marseille.

    We want a loan with obligation, Sevilla asking for just a loan (maybe with an option).

    I can see this being a goer on deadline day, similar could be said for Spence after the Brentford rumours (albeit from weak sources).

    Tottenham Hotspur - graveyard for young talent. Get out while you can .

    It's ridiculous and an ongoing problem for some time now.
    This was something that I thought hiring a DoF would help to sort out.
    It doesn't appear that Paratici has been doing that job, though. He's more of a chief scout.
    Well, he was, anyway...

    I'm not even sure what Paratici can really do to be honest.

    He's brought in a few very promising young players but the manager has no interest in utilising them, also makes it even worse by publicly telling everyone in the media that "they're not ready" and then also blocks loan moves for them as well as he doesn't want to be left short even if he's got multiple senior players ahead of them... it's as if he's deliberately sabotaging their careers.

    It's been a problem as long back as Pochettino, though.
    This is why I'm fine with us bringing in a few older players to fill gaps and loaning youngsters out.
    We shouldn't be looking to sell Gil and Spence. They should be playing and developing.
    If that's not going to be with our current team, then English loans would be perfect.

    I'd be pretty happy with loaning Spence to Sporting as part of the Porro deal.
    Gil temporarily returning to Sevilla would be fine, too.
    We've no idea how long Conte's going to be here. We should plan for a future without him.

    A quick look at his Wikipedia page gives a couple of very good reasons to look elsewhere

    We may as well sign Andrew Tate and Wayne Couzens...

    Ripped it up in the 2022 U21 Euros and we were linked with him for a while.
    Also, he totally Lennoned the signing picture. I'm sure he'll do well in Austria/Germany/Manchester.

    Why does that photo look like some 1970s public information film?

    No doubt warning people of the dangers inherent with telescopic urinals

    Hey, you remember the last time you were kicking off and I just ignored you the whole time?

    Don't push your luck a second time

    Because your comment isn’t acceptable. You seem to always talk about dead or dying people with a lack of respect.
