    Hope so

    But free transfer and home grown so that probably trumps his awful injury record and lack of ability

    In better transfer news, some Swedish outlets are claiming Bergvall’s in talks over a new deal for the summer.

    It's exactly the sort of signing I'd expect us to make.

    You know how I posted in the Politics Thread yesterday about some chicken jockey who pays $8 a month for Twitter ****ing up the global stock markets demonstrates how we're in the timeline which can't tie its own shoelaces?

    Yeah, same goes for two pages in response to something GiveMeSport said...

    What’s this thread called?

    Plus nobody here posts more outlandish rumours than you so you might wanna scale back on slagging us off for discussing the terrifying possibility of Spurs signing DCL.

    Like when?

    I ignore what aggregator accounts suggest entirely because they repeat any half-baked rumour to create "engagement"

    Plenty of times.

    Don’t all transfer accounts repeat any half baked rumours to create engagement? Even the likes of Dan KP and Ali Gold who down on here constantly post.

    A more terrifying question is whether DCL would be interested in the move. I'm guessing it's a sidestep that's all.

    He's going to Geordieland to replace Isak, who's going to a big club.

    Here's the difference: someone like Romano, Dan KP, Alasdair Gold etc actually put their name to a rumour, so there's a degree of authenticity to it

    There's no source for the Calvert-Lewin link other than GiveMeSport, which is the internet equivalent of a bloke down the pub who thinks Leighton Baines would be the ideal LB for our system

    What’s the thread called? I never said it was even true but just the mere prospect of Spurs targeting DCL is terrifying.

    There's rumours and then there's something patently made up, which is why I tend to avoid Turkish sources linking us to Super Lig players and only mention them if one of our players is linked with a move to Gala/Fener/Besiktas as there's a decent chance they're onto something

    In terms of the Calvert-Lewin link, there's two particularly damning details about it
    i.) The initial source is one of either Fichajes or TEAMtalk, the former notorious for throwing things out there for ad revenue while the latter is somehow still a thing in spite being a premium rate phone line scam for years
    ii.) As of 7:30 this evening there is no mention of it on Spurs Community, and considering some of the garbage rumours they latch onto...

    It’s probably not true but this thread is called transfer thread fact and fiction so I felt it was worth posting here

    We had one window with over a hundred rumours and we signed one player.
    Not one journalist had picked up on that link.

    If we're going to stick with rumours that are probably true, then it's going to be a short thread.
