He apparently liked a comment saying has this anything to do with Newcastle United? 
can’t confirm that mind as I don’t have Instagram. 


He has, but he has also liked pretty much every comment except recent ones.

Is Eriksen even any good? Either I haven't been looking hard enough or I've barely seen his name mentioned anywhere. 

 

For someone that stopped playing after heart complications he had an amazing half season with Brentford (of all teams) and was involved in nearly all their goals. [emoji38]

I think Brentford would have been dragged right into a relegation battle without him.

it would be a massive coup to get him - also feels unlikely as he walks into most CL teams and at his age he may not want to sign up to a longer term project.

 

but if he can be brought in suddenly looking at challenging for 5th instead of 7th (which sounds minor until you look at the difference in points that requires)

If Hugo is higher up on the list of targets than these mentioned above, just how good do they think he was going to be?

 

Well PSG want him, that should tell you he's rated pretty highly.

every club in world football have been after him, if you believe the noises coming from his camp/Reims. there's been something dodgy about the whole thing from the start.

Raphinha vs Diaby (last season)

 

 / Diaby was deadly last season; 13 goals and 12 assists beats Raphinha's 11 and 3 comfortably

 

 / Diaby scored those 13 from far fewer shots than Raphinha (53/85). This could be to do with the latter's efforts mostly coming from outside the box, unlike the former. 

 

 / Diaby is a far more accurate passer, completing 74.6% compared to Raphinha's  63.8%. 

 

 / Where Diaby's chance creation typically comes from in-game passes, Raphinha likes to create from dribbles. He also takes far more set pieces. 

 

 / Raphinha is easily more comfortable with defensive actions; tackles are 54-19 and blocks are 59-12. He also has a lot more touches in that opposition penalty area (48-6).

 

 / Raphinha is competent in the air (40.3% of duels won), but it's not really Diaby's game (26.3%).

 

Summary: Diaby is an out-and-out attacker with the returns to match, whereas Raphinha is a more traditional winger but who likes a dig from range.

Is the Diaby rumour a non-starter? Thought we were quoted something silly like £50m-£60m plus the notion he has no interest in joining us?

 

 

 

Some journalist the other day said that wasn’t accurate. Said we were ready to offer £35m, don’t think they specified a sum that would get it done but they were making out it would be a fair amount less than £60m

Given Barca, Arsenal and Spurs are in for Raphina it is likely a non starter.

 

A front 3 of ADM, Wilson and Raphina would be some forward line though.

 

Think Spurs are prioritising Richarlison?
