We've heard this before so as usual we all know the drill: Until he is pictured at the stadium in a Spurs shirt, he's officially a Chelsea player.

With Colin, would definitely take him back, especially at that price.
All the usual suspects are now saying that Porro's done, again.
One thing in favour of Rennes is they currently play 3ATB, so if he does get regular games it will serve as a livefire exercise to prove he can play in something adjacent to Conte's system - and it does have to be said that Ligue 1 is a more physical league than people give it credit for, certainly more physical than La Liga, the Bundesliga or Eredivisie, which would also suggest whether or not Spence can handle the physical demands required in that role in his system
Gil on the other hand is more of a "safe" loan for lack of a better word, which is designed solely to get him playing and boost his morale, which a PL or Serie A loan wouldn't be as either of those would have effectively been putting him through boot camp. But you know what else could've been a good way to get him playing and see if he can deliver? Playing him...

Can actually understand him rejecting Atleti, huge club but absolutely the wrong fit for him. They like defensive RBs, he's an attacking RWB.
Not sure why he'd turn down Prem interest though, ideal opportunity to stick the middle finger up at Conte by proving himself in the league.
Sporting's brass thought they'd shafted us and were already planning for a summer auction
And then they hear it, echoing through the arena

If there is truth to this, we essentially paid the release clause (even though as of a week ago it technically expired anyway) and relinquished an additional 15% of Edwards' onward journey.
I have to say, unless the payment structure was very generous I do believe Sporting have done very well out of this deal.
That's what Duncan Castles is reporting
...so I'm tempted to believe Romano and Ornstein instead, not least because Ornstein's backtracking is pretty funny
Am I right in thinking that Saville got Lamela, gil and 21 million out of these deals ? Levy had his pants taken down
Yeah so far the Gil signing has been handled horribly by Spurs. Probably overpaid for him and now sending him back on loan to join ex Spurs Lamela.
I’d rather lose him in the summer than him sign a 1 year extension as that just drags out the uncertainty imo. If it’s gonna be a 2-3 year deal then i’m all for it.
How long has Conte been doing the negotiating
Would explain why you had to pay the asking price for Porro though.

Can't say I've seen much evidence of this apparent 'high rating' so far this season. I think unless Conte is about to perform a u-turn with Skipp, either him or Sarr need to go out on loan. Skipp especially as he knows the team, the club, the league etc. Sarr still has a lot to learn by remaining 'local', whereas Skipp is at the stage of his career when regular football is crucial, especially in the wake of a serious injury.
Keeping hold of all of Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Bissouma, Skipp, Sarr and White is unsustainable.
Unless you've seen the exact wording they maybe could still string us along....
He returned to the matchday squad against West Ham at the end of Aug. First appearance of the season came against Arsenal from the bench after the game was long gone. He's had a bunch of derisory 1-minute cameos off the bench and has started just 4 games all season in all competitions, completing 90 minutes just the once, in the cup win over Pompey.
As I said, that doesn't strike me as a player who is "highly rated".
We've got 5 very good players in midfield though. Conte rates Hojbjerg and Bentancur is probably the best of the five so not much game time for the other three.
Right, hence the importance of sending him out on loan for consistent game time. He's 22 and it is his fourth season with the senior squad.
