I might have ethical reasons for my dislike of Nike and coupled with some boring templates recently, but to say Nike is not one of the top brands in the world is just insane!

Yes they produce some cheap tat, but then so does EVERY clothing manufacturer. Nike is a serious player and a serious sponsor.

Beyond this as well, the UK's perception of Nike is one thing, but in some of their major markets such as America, Brazil, etc.. Nike is seen as a top end sports brand.

I think you'll be very disappointed if you think we're going to churn 1/4 of our squad.

I actually think this will be our only piece of major business. Any other incomings will be kids for the future.

What planet are you on? Name one team in the top tier across the whole of Europe has made only 1 transfer in the last couple of years?

Have you ever flown on emirates? My most recent flight was standard class coming back from Dubai last year - the air con was broke so we sat in 40 degree heat in the plane for nearly an hour - worst experience on any plane i've ever had. The inflight entertainment systems were fairly shitty, certainly no better than anyone else doing long haul and the rest of the plane was the same as any other long haul.

In fact we had a second leg of the flight from Dubai to Male that although booked with Emirates was being fulfilled by Quantus and their planes were much nicer than the Emirates ones.

Emirates as an airline are about as premium brand as British Airways, American Airlines, Virgin etc...

Flew Emirates going on honeymoon. Thought we might get a bump to first class due to the special occasion. Not happening. Got on the plane and our seats weren't even together. Wankers.

The Goat has hear that deal for Michy Batshuayi has been agreed and that everything will be wrapped up after the French cup final.

Good news

But realistically is he going to come out from the cup final on Saturday (whether winning or losing) and say he's leaving ? So guess we'll need to wait a day or two to have it confirmed ?

Great to have him in early though.

Petr Cech - Arsenal. And look how high in the table they finished! Lol..

How could Chelsea have let Cech go? I wonder who made that decision and if he's still with the Club. I don't think Mourinho wanted him to leave.

In the past Chelsea have done their best to sabotage Spurs' incomings (such as Willian and Oscar, I believe) but in their current position I'm not sure that they have the same clout as before. Batshuayi is almost done according to ITK. If Chelsea were to approach him would he take the bait? Spurs can offer Champions League football with a settled coach that has proven that he can take players and make them far stronger. Is there a better club than Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League to join if you're a young, talented, ambitious player wanting to get to the top level? The future looks bright for Spurs...

According to what i saw....Roman personally made the call on Cech leaving. A reward to him for being loyal and accepting being a backup for a year when he could have gone a top club and been the #1.

I would be less concerned about CFC with Batshuayi simply because i think they will crack open the piggy bank for Conte and go after a bigger name.

Still want it done and dusted as quick as possible though....

I would really like Phil Jones actually as a realistic target.

If we can make him half the player he was a BBurn we've got a steal, plus cover/challenge for dier (alongside other positions)

Funny that because he IS half the player he was at Blackburn..boom boom

Is he hinting at kit only and not the Stadium too. And if you get a minute Dov, could you ask what his favorite airline is?
