3 goals and 3 assists in his last 3 appearances.Barkley scores again.. What a fuck up.
This is why Poch really wanted him.

But, but, but the agent fees!3 goals and 3 assists in his last 3 appearances.

Yes and I remember him getting injured and I remember people on here saying we don't want him now he's crocked and I remember people saying he'll never be any good again and he wasn't that good anyway and I remember someone saying you'll all change your tune when he starts playing again.Remember when we ‘nearly’ signed Barkley. Fun times.
Exactly the type of midfielder we were/are crying out for.
We don't really need him. No way we keep Son, Lucas, Lamela, Alli, Eriksen and Zaha all happy. Especially as Alli and Eriksen hardly ever get benched when 100% fit.Zaha continues to impress. Although we are fairly stocked up in that area zaha is just so direct he would be so good for us
son at LB..
Didn’t ITK say Poch wanted Zaha and Barkley as his main two targets last summer. Can see why.
Depressing.JJ confirming that we really tried for De Jong but Overmars flat out refused to sell.
I think we need to accept that we aren't going to be signing any Davinson Sanchez style signings for the foreseeable future. I can only imagine we will be looking to bring in players who are much less on the radar of others as the price isn't going to be driven up.
How about if Llorente was sold?We don't really need him. No way we keep Son, Lucas, Lamela, Alli, Eriksen and Zaha all happy. Especially as Alli and Eriksen hardly ever get benched when 100% fit.
If Llorente was sold I would hope for more a striker then a winger who can play up front. Ideally someone younger, a Jesus for example. Also ideally someone younger. I think if you pay 60 or 70 mil for Zaha you would expect him to start and Eriksen and Alli will be ahead of him and I wouldn't want him to play instead of Lamela or Lucas and we still have Son.How about if Llorente was sold?
But, but, but the agent fees!
Seems our plan was De Jong, De Ligt & Martial. Would have been awesome... if only.Depressing.
considering our luck with injuries if barkley joined us he would probably be injured for 6 months before playing a match for usIs this the routine any time Barkley has a decent game now?
Why not take a punt? Well, there were plenty of reasons and hindsight is beautiful.
It'll be the same folk saying 'WAAAA stop wasting money on the likes of Llorente, Sissoko and Nkoudou, just bring in real quality' like theyre the mystic meg of the transfer window.
He may have been a spurs legend, he may have flopped. Hes succeeding currently under a different manager at a different club in a different system to ours. No guarantees.
even we have 150m to spend we can only get 2 of them at mostSeems our plan was De Jong, De Ligt & Martial. Would have been awesome... if only.
