If I was single and rich and a celeb I'd be buzzing in London frequenting the clubs and all the nightlife and attention and models etc, having fun But If I've got a kid and 2 others incoming I'd much prefer a quieter life to raise a family in a nice North East suburb and focusing on my football and family life in a lower-key environment.

Now me personally, I dont like the place, I breath easier on the train when heading North but I can see its attractions for others, especially if rich. Now, what you said was about 2 kids and no marriage wasnt it ? See what got the reaction? Edited June 26, 2023 by madras Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's got her up the duff twice but won't commit which is interesting as he's keeping his options open, London could be fun for him. I'd do the same, playas gonna play.

Jaqen Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 Players going to zoos is one thing but Eddie won't stand for signing players who have kids out of wedlock I'm sure of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Keeping his options open? I think he's already tied in like, given the two kids and living together situation. Edited June 27, 2023 by Hanshithispantz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Icarus Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Always find it mad how people think signing a piece of paper with someone that can be undone without giving any reason is a commitment, but the shared, lifelong responsibility of having children with someone isn't on its own Indoctrination has loads to answer for.

The Prophet Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Doesn't sound like we're going to make a move. Either we're not interested or he's made it clear he wants the Spurs move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) Very ambivalent about this one now tbh. Would have been good to get him, but if it means getting Szoboszlai then so be it. Edited June 27, 2023 by Kid Icarus Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Shame as he’s a brilliant player and would have been ideal for us in terms of creativity. However I do feel his injury record would have made it a massive risk considering the intensity at which we play. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Rumours he’s agreed personal terms with them at around 195k per week. Not sure how true mind but that’s a lot more than he’s worth imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs probably need him as a signing more than we Do but I’d have been happy with him as a signing too. Equally I’m not that bothered if we don’t sign him really.

simonsays Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I really like him as a player and i would have been delighted if we signed him, but i was never quite sure how he would fit into our setup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
