Thanks. It’s all subjective but that was my feeling and the opposite of why I like football. Have to say I’m consequently very sad about the way our transfer tastes have changed toward the end of the window and now pretty disinterested. A season full of ‘great hustle’ not really going to cut it as entertainment for me. Replacing Sissoko is a weird concept. Thanks for the info, anyway.

Zakaria and Damsgaard to the two currently linked is a plummeting elevator ability wise.
For what it's worth I think it's more a case of replacing him in the roster, for the role that he is supposed to fill, rather than looking for a like-for-like copy.

The loan with obligation is just a cashflow thing. It's not an indicator of wealth. Transfer fees are mostly paid in instalments generally (Inter still owing us for Eriksen as an example).

I don't know the accounting rules behind it, I don't know if you note the full amount of the asset being sold or the tranche you get in that accounting year.

It's payment plan stuff, nothing else.

For those on the fence, here is a little more about Wes:





You just know he's gonna throw a strop if he gets no attention, he will be giving Sonny the evil eye because all the players love him and fighting to get more air time on the hotspur way training vids:joyful:

Deviating from discussion here but you can just tell the creator of this video couldn’t get laid in a whorehouse with a hundred pound note taped to his forehead. Such a punchable sounding voice and even more punchable that he’s made this video to begin with.

In some positions you don't want too much competition and too many players around the squad. For example, you don't need more than 4 wingers/attacking wide players because they generally need confidence and form. Centre backs, it's better if you have two regulars and two who can cover.

But midfield is the area on the pitch in which I think you need multiple options, especially if you are playing 3.

Liverpool won the title because their midfield really were the engine room and they could often rotate to keep legs fresh. Its no surprise that when injuries hit it was mostly defence and full backs, the areas they had least cover.

I believe we need 6 midfielders, and I'm talking about midfielders who will be used and not just hanging around the squad.

Pretty sure he is reliable.

I would be ecstatic with McKennie and Moriba.
I doubt we’d do both unless Winks decides to go too. But who knows. It seems the 433 will be our formation & seemingly we will stick with the 2 holding mids(except for when we go 3 at the back) so maybe we would do both if Ndombele goes? I do think Moriba coming in would effectively kill the Auoar prospective deal though.

If we end the window with CM options of:

- PEH
- Alli
- Skipp
- Lo Celso
- McKennie
- Moriba

I think that's pretty great!

It’s a shtick. Here’s an absolute classic of his:
