I don’t mean he’s medically unreliable. He’s more ponderous and less efficient in central midfield compared to others
That may be the case, but he also does the defensive stuff, the reading of the game, the defensive positioning, the concentration etc far better than any of those mentioned. It's not all about how great you are on the ball if the opposition can just walk through midfield. I don't know why those attributes always get consistently underrated in midfielders.

I think that if you want to operate with a small squad like Poch does, then you really can't afford any passengers. Lamela's a good player with lots of great qualities, but for my money, he still gets a tick in the 'passenger' column, unfortunately.
I grudgingly have to agree

Are you seriously talking about Dier here?

And thus it warmeth uppeth

I think that if a player said that to us, (and we weren't in it) then Levy would tell them to shut the fuck up and try and qualify for it. Always seems a real shitty move to say to a club that they aren't in the correct competition and that you want to leave. Especially when that could last for six matches.

Anyway, this time we are the beneficiaries so I should cheer up.

Hopefully this is true

Whilst it's progressing slower, it does appear to be mirroring the Ndombele transfer. ....and that's likely down to Copa America

- We've bid
- Club accepts player is leaving
- Player makes admission about playing for big club/CL football
- Selling club are lining up replacements

I wouldnt be surprised if this is just one or two steps from completion and once Betis complete signings it should progress quickly.

Did I see that betis we’re willing to accept £40m for him, until we decided we were interested?

Agree with this mate, it all went very quiet just before ndombele signed, sounds like with the manager comments it's a matter of when and not if

Real Betis head coach Rubí spoke about potential departures at the club today. "You need to convince them (to stay) and, if not, try to get the maximum amount of money possible to bring in a replacement."

I know who wants to stay and who doesn't. We're talking about one case where the player's intention to leave might be very clear. The rest will all stay."

- Are you talking about Lo Celso?

"Maybe, there are many (linked with moves away)."

Hopefully he'll be back from holiday soon, we'll fly him over and get it done over a couple of days. Seemed to be what happened with Ndombele. Better to finalise these things properly at Hotspur Way at this point in the window.

I hope we get him in time for the Audi Cup. I dont think he will travel to Shanghai and Singapore having played the Copa America, he'll be due a short break. It would be great to take him to Germany in 2 weeks.
