    Unfortunately (and I hate to say this) but I think that he is a really good signing and with Mktaryan (thats close enough) signed as well that may help him settle quickly and push the goons onwards and upwards . Which will give them a real chance of top 4 it will also allow Lacazette to take Walnuts place in their Europa league squad and they have a decent chance in that too.

    I don’t understand why he’d want to go there at the moment. They’ve just let their best player go, and haven’t exactly set the world alight recently. Surely someone else with guaranteed CL football would be more suited to him? He’s a quality player.

    As I summed up a few pages back, he's gone the full Anelka this season as he was adamant at getting a Big Move™ last summer but nobody came in for him - but instead of knuckling down and showing those clubs that if they didn't want him last summer they'll want him this summer, instead he's been throwing a season-long tantrum that guarantees those clubs won't want to touch him with a barge pole and instead he winds up at Arsenal.

    What I'm keeping an eye on is the rumours that Dortmund will be loaning in Batshuayi as a replacement, meaning that's potentially one less obstacle in our path to sorting out a deal for Moura.

    On that note great to see Seamus Coleman back in Everton's squad for this weeks game .

    Social media seems to think Moura is a done deal.

    Yes. But he’s bitter about not being able to sign him for approximately £11m like the other purchases he’s recently made from France.

    Credit to Levy though, he did try and get the
    guy to change his name to N'Moura so only
    11m had to be paid.

    Rumours that the domino effect of the goons signing Aubamayang, is that Giroud will join Chelsea - I think he will be a good fit there Arsenal strengthening a rival is very odd in this case

    Yeah credit where it’s due. Unfortunately in this case, he’s cost a little Moura.

    They used to say,when a club wanted a footballer,someone would yell down a coal mine. Now they send a big game hunter into the jungles of Africa (or the streets!)

    Count the number of Africans playing in Europe today. Are black players more hungrier than white payers? That could be the reason.

    But ... but ... but could it mean these clubs could no longer
    buy Spurs players ?? < oh, the horror >

    "ClassWillOut, London, United Kingdom, 26 minutes ago

    The reality is that when asked what team they support - Chelsea and Man City fans look down and mumble their response........no rule change can fix that shame. On a sadder note can you do an article on where you think Tottenham will finish when Kane, Alli, Alderweireld and Rose leave in the summer?"

  18. They could really do with a player like Moura right now.

    Not impressed with Lucas Moura at PSG. Hope he turns up more often in a Spurs shirt,if they decide to sign him.(I wish we were signing Cavani!)
