TRC Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Thats the thing about the PL being the richest league in the world, your will have to sell to direct rivals sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 We're minted enough to take the gamble on Tierney surely, given what he could bring to this team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elric Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Tierney just seems like he'd be next in line of perma-crocked players that have darkened the club's door like. Despite the massive strides we've made, I refuse to believe our medical department is anything even approaching Arsenal's, and they haven't been able to get a decent tune out of him for any long period of time. No doubting he's a skilled player on his day but so was Woodgate. Can't afford to fuck around where FFP is concerned. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Edgar Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I hate the idea of gambling on Tierney. Just feels like we do not need to risk him and should have other options for LB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I like the idea of Tierney, he's probably the closest player to Burn with his experience as a LCB in a back three. Would expect heavy rotation with Burn if we do end up signing him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then on top of that we, could do with a bit more depth so we can rotate Schar and the lads in the middle. 3 of our best players this year Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesnt matter that he plays for England. He has to be trained in England for 3 years prior to 21st burpday which he wasnt as he was at Sporting as a bairn before coming back in late teens (i think??). It does seem a mad rule rule that someone like Dier can fall foul of the rule meant to help english players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 5 hours ago, SteV said: No. The homegrown quota is something we need to consider going forward though. We’ll be fine next season and for the next couple of seasons, but once the likes of Wilson, Trippier and Pope start nearing the end, we’d have a problem if most of our signings between now and then are non-homegrown. edit: as an aside, I was looking up the rules on this, and discovered Dier doesn’t count as homegrown for Spurs, even though he plays for England, which is a bit mad. Why's it mad? He was grown in Portugal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

More the fact, that you’ve got someone who is ’English’, plays for England, but because of circumstances, doesn’t count as home grown. I suppose it’s evidence that you need to look at this rule not in terms ‘we need to have less foreigns in the team’, and more ‘we need to have more academy players in the team’.

The fact we're even discussing him as a viable target feels hilarious. I also think judging anyone at Chelsea this year is a fools errand as they've been a mess on and off the field .

Whitley mag Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Kephren Thuram and Mac Allister should break the bank for both. Mac Allister seems a really good character aswell who would fit well in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
