I liked “a man who looks like he manages a vape shop”, personally. “We need a priest - this club is possessed” was also excellent.
His agent and family will have told him that if he is good enough for a little club like Newcastle then the likes of Barca and Madrid will take him anyway A stepping stone move
True but being a stepping stone towards Barca and Real isn't the worst thing in the world. Where do you think Spurs are currently a stepping stone towards?
