Matt Doherty @ Atletico Madrid

Cheers Lyall ya frube.

If signing Doherty is genuinely close then I'd like to think us selling Serge is also close.

 

[Grey Fox]

Do we actually know that it's moving quickly/ We were on the cusp of signing Kim Min Jai weeks ago. I'm hopeful we get this sorted quickly but I'm still administering the salt.

Chinese window shut until September

Chinese window shut until September

I thought they can sell when windows closed they just cannot buy?

Does that actually stop outgoings from a club?

Doesn’t even stop them buying, just registering the player as part of their squad.

 

[Fredo]

Well I have put Doherty into my fantasy team already, bring it on.

I've already got him on my shirt mate

 

[SpartanSpur]

Dan KP on it now which is great to see. Mentions Mendes/Gestifute in the article.

Well I've named my second child after him.

 

[dagraham]

I agree it will be gedson/tanganga as back up. Let's just hope he stays fit.

I’m sure the Spurs injury curse will strike him down . Probably trip on a carpet entering the training ground.

 

[That Wanyama Goal]

No problem if we make this signing. I said we should go for him weeks ago. Seems to me that we don’t have a permanent RB in place at this time and this is a temporary measure. Aurier is a liability, comparing the twos stats is pointless. Wolves ball retention is/was much better than ours so tackles were not as necessary although I hear the comments about his defending not being as good as his attacking play.

 

[Lo Amo Speroni]

Well I've named my second child after him.

I've changed my name by deed poll.

 

[daveduvet]

Think he’d be a good acquisition ... getting the right players for the right positions appears to be Maureens plan - pragmatism; then add on further players in time as we progress... maybe levy’s ‘accountancy’ approach is a good focus on José’s strengths as coach. ..

Same. Not even a Spurs shirt, I've just scrawled Doherty on the back of one of my white Next crew necks.

Would imagine they'd want to be able to buy a replacement before letting him leave.

Also cut off the Lonsdale logo from your old pair of slip ons from Sports Direct and sellotaped it to the front of your shirt.

 

[Jamturk]

I don't accept buying a RB at the peak age of 28 is a temporary measure.

So the chinese takeaway is still open but you can't eat in

Temporary in that he's unlikely to give us more than 3 good seasons. I think most would think a long term option would be a player in the 22-25 bracket that's showing signs of being a top tier player.
