Ndiaye or Gakpo? I would prefee Ndiaye.


Don't really know what spuds plan is with all these attackers when their defense looks like swiss cheese.

They must be huffing the same drugs as liverpool

I can't move this, but looks like he's deserving of his own thread now, so I'll start one


Just, ...why? He's done almost nowt in his time in the PL, why would he be any better with us? It's a no from me.


A lot of money but a very good squad/rotation player I think it's decent business. And unlike most dippers I don't get the impression he's a twat.

If they were talking £30m or so, I'd say yes as a squad filler but £80-90m? No thanks.

Agreed. Let them keep him for that price.

This year £30m wouldn't even buy Calvin Philips. £85m bought Spurs the worst Brazilian footballer that ever walked the planet. If he's half as bad as Savinho he's a steal.

Spurs suck at transfers, did they not know they already had Richalison?

Did you know the guy who arranged Savio transfer to City has done it again at Spurs. -:


Why Tottenham's £85m swoop for Savio just doesn't add up - except for Man City
Rafi Moersen was the brains behind City's decision to sign Brazilian flop Savio - and has now done it again on behalf of Spurs - for £50m more in a deal which is difficult to fathom

We've got rid of a load of players and not replaced them. We're 3 injuries away from a tough season

Yeah but we had too many mediocre players. Did good business in selling. Just need couple more in, now Allan is here :D

You should try asking your local Turkish barber to do it for you. Can probably get a closer shave than your wife with a Gillette.

I think we fucked around too much. I would be amazed if we get Enzo and that fella from Everton, which, imho, isn't a City player.

If Chelsea tell us to fuck off tomorrow, we are in big big trouble.

most surprised that there aren't more rumours that we're in for a proper right back. But maybe Allen is supposed to be the cover there

If we do get Ndiaye instead of Gakpo, Ndiaye looks like he'd fit in much better here with great footwork and linkup in tight spaces

If they do, we are stuck with Kova and an injury incoming in September with Anderson or Bouadidi. Written in the stars.

Then so be it.

Fernandez at that money is not the answer. We either buy the right players or not at all

£60m + £5m agreed for Ndiaye
