    It's twitter. Nothing reported in any proper papers. About as reliable as coutinho leaving for 89m except that drinkwater doesnt have a fake back injury.

    I would be far more interested in chelsea buying ndidi. That guys a real gem

  2. It's unfortunate, that's undeniable.

    Hopefully, this will impress upon Levy the need to strengthen.

    However, I suspect that we can dip into our academy and find a young RB eager to step up to the mark.

    That's what we do, Bobby. We are Spurs.

    Roman's latest missus has sacked him off. That will be expensive.

    Good signing. A bit odd to offload good youngsters though. Loftus-Cheek could have got plenty of games this season I'd have thought.

    not a good signing. It's a dumb signing. Danny ****ing drinkwater. If we get him i will go on #meltdown

    Might as well have kept nathan chalobah, he's got far more potential and i reckon he's already about the same level as drinkwater. The only thing drinkwater is good at is being filthy

    I like him as a squad player. Agree though it's odd to have let Chalobah go but I think he was keen to leave. RLC is the one I find more odd.

    What's the fee meant to be?

    Drinkwater and Chalobah/Loftus-Cheek are at different stages of their careers. Drinkwater will probably be happy to be a squad player in a bigger team while the two younger players want to get regular first team football - to be able to progress and prove themselves. Fair play to both of them wanting to play more...

    Drinkwater won't be a terrible signing as he will do a decent job coming into the team (especially partnered with Kante again), won't kick up a fuss having minimal game time and being the 4th choice CM.

    Yes but if we're going to get Danny as a squad player, then don't pay 37m for him, especially as we let matic go for that. If we wanted a steady eddy squad players might as well just have nicked darren fletcher.

    Don't rate RLC at all. He's got the size but not the speed/acceleration. His shooting ain't great, his touch and awareness isn't brilliant either (real hit and miss imo) and people only like him because he's massive. I rated chalobah much higher

    Didn't realise he's costing you £37m. That is mental.

    i thought thats what i read for transfer fee when someone chucked some twitter gossip out. Can't say i've been following it if i'm honest. Tried google just now and didn't see anything so i may be wrong.
