Dele links to PSG resurfacing. I know he's a fairly polarizing player, but I think I'd be pretty disappointed if he left. He undoubtedly had a massive lull in his career recently but the last month or so of the season he started to make some real strides. I still think there is a really good player in him and I want that player to come back out in a Spurs shirt.

 

Belgian players sure do like discussing their futures during international breaks. The latest one being Tielemans. I know how frustrated I felt whenever Lukaku went away on international duty. It seemed like he actively tried distancing himself from the club every break. He got what he wanted in the end, I guess. Just a thought I had for Leicester fans.

 

Maybe that's why they went out and bought Soumare so early in the window. He might end up better than Tielemans imo.

 

PSG scooping all of Barca’s targets lol

 

I don't understand why Donnarumma would want to go to Barca or PSG. Both have world class keepers already.

 

I think Barca were considering flipping for a profit. ter Stegen and Navas are easily a class or two ahead of Donnarumma right now. I don’t quite understand why he’s not staying at Milan, but also money and Raoilo (or however you spell it) makes it obvious.

 

Donny Van de Beek misses the Euros. We are a bad luck charm for him.

 

It’s never happening

 

Timing lines up with when England should have been booted out of the Euros. Southgate incoming???

 

This man is an absolute football addict.

 

I'm just imagining Bielsa using his translator for the u11s and it makes me laugh.

 

I've defended Levy quite a bit over the years, but this is getting ridiculous. He made it his goal to improve fan morale and he's done nothing but the opposite. Kane put major pressure on him with that interview and Levy's next move was to completely fumble the manager search. I think Levy did a fantastic job building up the club despite the lack of trophies, but from 2018 onward he has massively failed. It all started with the summer of no incoming transfers. Been nothing but fuck-ups ever since.

 

The summer of no transfers will forever haunt the club

That and refusing to sell players that clearly needed to move on. Levy has failed on a lot of levels in the past few years.

 

Who would be your alternative to Levy?

 

Joined the ESPN group. Not confident of any of my picks. Standard.

Also, was the last question regarding all group stage games? If not I have gone well and truly over haha.

 

I have no clue haha

 

Atalanta winning the race to Koopmeiners for €20m. Their recruitment is next level.

 

I thought you said Atlanta and I was very confused.

 

Ever since appointment Paratici, we've been linked to about half of Juventus. The most intriguing name I've seen is Dejan Kulusevski but it also seems wildly unrealistic.

 

Atlanta’s stadium is so nice. 10/10 highly recommended.

 

Foden with the Paul Gascoigne throwback hair.

 

Turns out Stuttgart's Silas Wamangituka has been using a false name and age. It's scary how this brand of human trafficking can go undetected for years in elite sport.

 

Things you love to see: T H I S

that said, Xhaka going to Roma is a shame but I wish him well, he was a scapegoat for Emery at times who played him in the wrong position, and he never even complained at filling in at RB/CB/LB. leader in the dressing room too.

Hopefully we manage to reinvest into the CM position cause atm we have Partey, Willock, Azeez, Elneny lol.
