    I’m not sure he achieves those dizzy heights tbh. Thought Walker-Peters would get a chance given Aurier should be playing for Hendon.

    Our bar is Tom Davies mate and I still didn’t want him.

    That’s how much I rate him.

    Most would prefer that but I think he wants out. That Saints loan came about three years too late, we just kept him around doing **** all for the most part. If we'd loaned him out for a couple years when he first came up from the development squad he'd probably be our first choice RB now.

    The only thing I'm clinging onto is that our signings from Saints over the years have been brilliant. Hoping he don't break the mould.

    Very much hoping.

    They're not going to get him mate, Levy lowballing again but at least he will be able to say "we tried".

    One of our local journos has said it's bollocks and it's not close at all. He tends to be pretty reliable too and is close to the club.

    Sounds like Levy trying to drive the price down. This will drag on for weeks and you'll get him towards the end of the window for sub £15m imo.

    Think it will work.

    They know that we need to sell with him having a year left and needing the money to reinvest. Closer it gets to the end the more desperate we'll get and will end up accepting a lower fee.

    As soon as he joined the Saints, he was made captain.

    He played right back during Pep’s cup run which they won

    only Pogba betters him for possession regains this season...exactly what we are looking for

    plus with better players I expect him to improve


    If he doesn’t join us he’s dogshit <ok>

    Not sure about that, after the ****ed up season all teams need the money and most will want as much as they can get/value a player for.
    Buying clubs won't want to pay and try to be sneaky but selling clubs will not want to lose any more money/value because they need it.

    If a club sells a player they usually need to replace him (unless he is a none starter) so will not gain any benefit from selling cheap.

    Not sure what Saints paid for him, but don’t accept the low offer, take him for another year and make him see out his deal, maybe help secure a cup/EL football.

    Yep, posted about that earlier. Good signing, but still, defense should really be the focus area.

    Yeah saw on Twitter some saying reports had jumped the gun. Reckon it’ll be done soon though. Both players seem to wanna join the other club and both managers want the respective player so it’s hard to see this falling apart, even by our standards.

    Realistically speaking, if Tottenham want their man and actually put the effort in, they'll get him.

    Btw, how does a man like Levy have control of a club like Spurs, makes no sense.

    Problem with Levy is from a business perspective he’s done a lot of good for us but his footballing decisions at times have been utter ****.

    Best thing we could do is hire a proper DoF so that Levy takes a back seat on the football side of things and let him focus on drumming up business/ sponsorships/ stadium events etc, he’s great at that.
