...or the "ambition" of a player who knows that Barca, Los Ladrones, Bayern and PSG have long since lost interest.
It seems strange, then, that any of the bigger clubs would want him, as presumably if he did join them all of their existing strikers would leave!
Only if they were close to the end of their contracts or if they are head-strong fekkers like CR7 or Messi.
The Grauniad's reporting we had a loan offer for Andre Gomes rejected Does he actually want to play games at some point in his career?
Not at all. Hasn't the Narrative (TM) regarding Spurs from all the "pundits" been that we have to "match the players ambition" by : 1. winning things 2. paying high wages 3. signing great players 4. retaining class players Therefore by definition in the case of Ozil, that means : 1. 3 FA Cups 2. his wage hike 3. signing Lacazette, Aubameyang etc are the criteria for "matching" his "ambition", whereas : - doing worse in your domestic league and the CL (not even in the CL now) than your prior club - losing "world class" Sanchez to your PL rival are not.
I can only assume the Moura anouncement is taking so long because Levy makes them sign the contract with their own blood.
It appeases the fans who expect “Levy time” on deadline day, which is a myth. He’s probably eligible to play tonight and was signed yesterday for all we know, but the announcement is being held back so we “make a signing on deadline day”. There won’t be anyone else today. With games tonight, we’d have heard something by now.
I'm not an expert but it seems the FA and the gov tightened the rules a couple of years back so that he needs to have played 30% of Brazil's matches to qualify. Different EU countries have different rules.
