Trained with Newcastle Blue Star FC last night along with Murph

I knew Agbonlahor had made an account on here

Makes me think Ferran Torres rumour could have something in it.

About 50 goals away from Shearer? Another year at Spurs and that will be half that if he hits usual standards. Levy might be thinking he would then sign another Spurs deal and stay to break the prem record.

Pre season started yet or what? I miss seeing my striker

Diaby won't be going to Arsenal when they're spending £200m already on Rice, Havertz and Timber + Saka is nailed on RW starter.

After missing out on Maddison, I had a look at the below; Europe's top 10 chance creators 2022/23 1. Bruno Fernandes – 219 shot-creating actions 2. Lionel Messi – 189 shot-creating actions 3. Kieran Trippier – 178 shot-creating actions 4. Kevin De Bruyne – 176 shot-creating actions 5. Remy Cabella – 174 shot-creating actions =6. Jonas Hoffmann – 163 shot-creating actions =6. Martin Odegaard – 163 shot-creating actions =8. Benjamin Bourigeaud – 161 shot-creating actions =8. Bukayo Saka – 161 shot-creating actions 10. Antoine Griezmann – 158 shot-creating actions

Keep going back to the fact it's so exciting as a fan that I'm pretty 'meh' about us missing out on a player as good as Maddison as I trust the recruitment to have someone else as good/if not better lined up.

Gvardiol to City for circa €100m plus Nkunku going to Chelsea strengthens Leipzig's arm in our bid for Szob you'd think? They don't need to sell at all unless the player kicks up a fuss.

Emile Smith-Rowe

Interesting if Kane is off to Bayern it makes the move a bit more questionable on Maddisons side?

Says a lot about him if he goes to Spurs. Time will tell if its the right move but we're building something special with/without him.

Amen to this. It's more in the Chelsea/Man City ilk of buying youth that you can sell on at a later date. Literally investment as a way of balancing FFP. City have many examples of this, a few actually went to Southampton last season? We aren't used to it, but the winger Minteh at Feyenoord on loan this season may never play a first team game for us. But signing at £6m we could bank a profit on him within 1-2 years if he does well on a loan or two. Livramento coming in and learning off Trippier (in his final few years) before becoming our first choice right back for the next however many, for somewhere between £15-20m? Great recruitment yet again if we pull this one off. He will also get plenty of games this season, we need a squad. Look at Man City again as the blueprint, they could field two 11's that would both finish in the top 4.

Trust me, bro

Yeah you'd expect us and Spurs to hold the power here. Neither of us will overpay but seemingly we're the only buyers at the table. Leicester know they must sell, it'll fund their rebuild and they'll be flogging a player who will no way on this earth be happy to play in the Championship. Appears Leicester are trying to play the 'we won't sell unless x price is met' card but there comes a point where that has to be dropped to guarantee a sale.

Yeah, plenty of ways round this in terms of announcing something pre year end and getting the transaction through post year end.

Surprised we haven't had this suggestion for a chant yet; SANDRO TONALI SANDRO TONALI HE EATS SPAGHETTI HE DRINKS MORETTI You know the last line..

65 hours since this news broke and he's having his medical. What a well run club we've become

Who's next in then?

With Tonali and Brunoooooo last line? It's good either way though! Repeat x14

From the highlights i've seen Tonali looks to have more ability at crossing from that no mans land with a set piece towards the half way line. Can't think of many we scored from last season (Isak home to Wolves about it?). Cannot wait until Howe and his coaches get to work with Tonali.

Wouldn't mind it either to be honest. We've got Dan Ashworth doing Brighton things now but on a 10x budget. Completely trust our club top to bottom and its a feeling i'm getting used to!

When Francesco Totti predicts Tonali to become one of the best midfielders in the world you know your recruitment team are on the money.
