    The Saudis left Matt Targett in Seoul by mistake, thinking he'd boarded the team bus

    Remind me, does "Finders, Keepers" have legal precedent in the transfer market?

    He scored every seven matches, assisted slightly more and missed a third of matches. And that was for Villa with nearly half the games in the Championship. What makes you you think he is any good.

    This is the age-old issue with data: it never records hockey assists

    For the most obvious relevant example, during his time with us Luka Modric scored every 9.4 games and assisted every 6.66 games, but that doesn't tell the full story given the amount of times his passes from deep sent a teammate on their way to set up a tap-in

    Similar goes for Mousa Dembele, who averaged a goal every 24.9 games and assist every 22.6, yet Poch's system simply did not work without him

    Bang on, stats only show part of the story.

    Grealish has talent and experience. For me a loan move would suit everyone.

    Check out the Sonny letter post on instagram posted in the last half hour.

    I think we’re really close to him officially leaving.

    Hits deep. He more than made us proud. Provided some of the best footballing memories of my life.

    Think I read LAFC have a press conference scheduled 2pm their time for a major announcement, so in an hour and forty or so he’ll be officially presented there.

    Wish him the absolute best, hope he smashes it and wins whatever trophies are available to him. A mega legend of this football club and seemingly an even better human.

    £20m apparently.... That's a great result for us I think. A sad day, but a small silver-lining!

    I say just cancel football now to be honest. We saw Sonny lift the Europa League. I’ll just re-live that every week along with watching a few goal comps of his.

    Nicest bloke in football.

    And although I've spent over a year criticising him, he will always remain a Spurs legend.

    Thanks for everything Sonny :emoticon-0153-broke

    Just finished a batch of shallots.

    Moving on to some lovely Spanish brown next.

    Anyone else need some chopped?

    So...

    That's two captains on the trot who have moved to LAFC.

    Any chance we can appoint Richarlison as our next captain?

    Rumour is Romero is gonna be captain. Seems a bit weird if he doesn’t sign a new deal otherwise we’ll be saying goodbye to another captain next summer as that will be the last chance to get anything for him.

    Oh my word why did I watch those videos?

    What a total legend that man is and I've now got something in my eye!

    Thanks for the past 10 years Sonny, it's been an absolute pleasure... <applause> <applause>

    He leaves for a club that isn’t a rival at all and he didn’t force a move or bad mouth the club.

    His last name proper game for Spurs was the final. What a way to go.

    Oh yes the timing is impeccable to be honest.

    It's always tricky knowing when to bale out but I'm sure he's made the right decision. However, it's still feels bloody gut wrenching to see him go!

    But Grealish essentially plays in Son"s position whereas Modric and Dembele played much deeper. I still dont buy that Grealish is any good and if Guardiola doesn't rate him that confirms it for me.
