I heard this from a Leeds fan last night. He's probably getting his info from the same rumour mill we all are though. hopefully.
LeG is pretty reliable, and they’ve just said “Unless that’s Valery’s agent, the player will be coming from France.”
Kane injury - I think with him being out until April, it makes it less likely that Spurs will go for Ings. They now need a proven, top-name striker to help them get back in the Champions League. Rumours of Piatek or Cavani. Ings would be more of a risk for them now.
Back up LB would be fine. But a lot of hard work has gone into making us look like a team again, & I don't want that disrupted too much. Another egotistical CB coming in and causing disruption would be depressing. Got to get these loan players off our books asap.
Just find it odd that people have spent months saying how bad our financial situation etc. is but now are desperate to splash the cash. More than enough to stay up with what we've got imo - not that that bothers me personally - and I think reducing our ridiculous wage bill should be our main priority.
If we went bust it'd be hard to argue that the fanbase don't deserve it. ------------ I wouldn't go that far. I run a business, I don't let others dictate on my policies. People are generally very stupid. We can all agree on that.
Spending money can make you money though. Look at the profit we made on Van Dijk. Of last summer’s buys, Ings and Djenepo would both make us a profit if we sold them. Even if we sold Adams to a Championship team, we would still get £10m for him. Not a big loss. Just gotta improve our scouting efforts.
