Where has he said this is it in a paywalled article?
Yes, on athleticWhere has he said this is it in a paywalled article?
Ornstein: “Tottenham are Rudiger’s preferred destination. His complaint about being racially abused during Chelsea’s 2-0 win there last December is not a factor and will not put him off. The north London club had looked at Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan. That is all but over so the Chelsea man is their main target.”Where has he said this is it in a paywalled article?
Totally agree with this on the proviso that he really is our preferred and maybe only choice. We can be ballsy. If we have a back up plan then it needs to be put into place sooner rather than later. A deadline is a deadline after all. Before the deadline we will need to change direction to proceed. At what point is this deemed to have been reached?Relax, people. No way is this deal off yet. It’s merely that we’re approaching the endgame. Both clubs applying the squeeze. It may or may not get done. But, as per the most reliable journalists and itk, the negotiations will definitely still be ongoing.
But how did Split replace Rebic?That happened when we signed Lamela. Roma wouldn’t sell until they got his replacement, which was Adem Ljajic from Fiorentina. And Fiorentina wouldn’t sell him until they got his replacement which was Ante Rebic from Split. Once Rebic went to Fiorentina all the transfers happened like dominos over the next few days ?
Saturday morning clicks - if you consider the two teams mooted other than us - one being a team supposedly not keen on a defender similar to him and a team that supposedly has to sell to buy ...Ornstein: “Tottenham are Rudiger’s preferred destination.

To be honest it’s a bit of a throwaway comment in a pretty big article and “all but over” is far from definitive. Things change by the hour at this point in the window. I remember Ornstein going from “Dybala is happening” to “Dybala is off” in the space of 45 minutes.
Developing a Chelsea player give me a break he is a German international and would improve us. If it is a loan so be it if it gets us our ambitious this season. With regards to the racist accusations if he felt he heard something he did nothing wrong in reporting it. It was investigated and unproven does not mean it did not happen.No way we loan Rüdiger developing a Chelsea player. Adding to that a player that most of our fan base hate.
If the player wants to come and the player is allowed to leave and the difference in valuation is 10-15m..
I'm not sure why this can't get done.

He said he heard something and saw people or someone do the chimpanzee getures, the video footage was looked at exhaustively by the club and by the police they said there was nothing on the video which is a little bit more than unproven, it means it didn't happen even if he thought he saw it.Developing a Chelsea player give me a break he is a German international and would improve us.

But its not if your spending 15m less on Rudiger. The two players are a class apart. Skriniar would be a game changer.£10-15 million is quite a big difference. We have already spent a hell of a lot more than I thought we would this window, and we haven’t shifted any of our dead wood yet.
@jspurWhilst I'm incredibly pleased with the work done to this squad this summer, I won't be able to hide my disappointment if we weren't able to get Skriniar.
Because we were evidently close and that makes it gutting.
No shit Sherlock.Because the selling team want £10-15m more than we are offering maybe!?
