Transfer Rumours Summer transfers

Bye bye Lloris? Or has he already left and I missed it?

 

Hasn't left officially but has made his intentions clear going into the last year of his contract that he wants a new challenge and it's 'the end of an era' for him

Great servent for us regardless of the hilarious brain farts now n again

wish him all the best

 

You're getting a great replacement. Always liked Raya.

 

If you think Lloris had brain farts wait until you see Raya.

 

Sky have won the transfer window. Replaced Martin Tyler with Peter Drury.

Monumental upgrade.

 

Sunderland have completed the signing of Semedo from Benfica on a 5 year contract. Him and the best Bellingham in nice and early. Big season ahead, hopefully.

 

Yeah I’m not convinced by him tbh. Worried it’s just because he’s HG and played in the PL that Spurs want him. I’d still take him over Lloris though. Lloris has been on the decline for the last few years and should have been moved on last summer

 

Reminds me of when Oscar went to China for insane wages.

 

Too much money to say no to.

 

Nothing will come of this Saudi sports washing football venture unless they sign the next big thing

so far it’s just players who are at the latter stages of their careers or ok players who are not going to look a gift horse in the mouth

 

I have always held the romantic idea that football players are in it for the glory as well as the money.
What will a player on £1mil a week have to show his kids/grandkids at the end of his career in Saudi other than his bank account.

 

I reckon if a Saudi club was buying one of our players for £55m the EPL / FA would be all over it. I'm hoping this is all just a prelude to us offloading Lascelles for £50m and Fraser for £30m in a few weeks.

 

I don’t think anyone gives too many ****s about

‘what will they show their grandkids’ anymore

I think the money in the game has killed that romance

These players are multi millionaires…well above and beyond what they deserve…they are driven by money nowadays…it’s a fact…look at the numbers negotiated

nothing 200k a week or whatever, can’t help overcome.

The game is dead bredda

 

Am 65 now so probably won't happen but, if i played pro football i would have strived to get to a team/level where i might just win a league/cup medal to make my time playing memorable.
I know every player can't do this but surely it's a bigger incentive to play the game than money, especially these days where even the lower paid players in top leagues are paid enough to set their family up for life.

 

No chance. They let your owners in knowing fine well that it’s a state takeover of your club. You’ve got cart blanche to do whatever you guys want.

 

Wish these Saudi clubs would come in and buy all of the Spurs dross in one huge transaction.

 

So you want the Saudis to buy Spurs then?

 

Be funny when we start doing it then... Been quite reserved so far.
