Imagine being this good whilst playing through an injury. He seems to have bulked up now too.

 

Linked to Danjuma. If he wasn't such a sick note, I'd be made up.

 

Kulusevski and Bissouma back in training. They should be good to go for NLD. Richarlison still out. Bentancur sounds like a maybe.

But at least with Kulusevski back I think we have a chance.

 

I know it would never happen, but Sporting are playing hardball and that could easily backfire if Spurs decided to enact release clauses on the last day of the window.

 

I've just had that happen to me on FM late on deadline day and it's the worst thing in the world. Almost a laptop out the window scenario.

 

Reports that Newcastle are in the lead to sign Moukoko on a free - with his Dortmund contract ending this season. Be still my beating heart!

 

I’m curious what our plan is here. We haven’t been linked to any other RWBs but I think we’ll definitely buy one this month. So, I’d guess we’ll either sign someone else out of nowhere, or we’re taking this down to the last day while hoping Porro causes drama along the way.

The stuff with Marcus Edwards seems weird and not likely. But maybe we’re using it as a tactic? Cut us a deal with Porro or we’ll take both last minute and you’ll be left with two holes?

 

It also appears that Trossard’s agent is shopping him around and hoping to find a new club for him this month. So not sure how interested Spurs are vs his agent just leaking stuff.

 

Wouldn’t this be basically double your reported budget for the window?

If they can do it that way, it’s a good negotiation tactic though.

 

I don’t necessarily believe that reported transfer budget number tbh lol

I think the problem with the release clause is that we’d have to pay all at once vs installments.

 

Kobbie Mainoo starts. Lovely to see

 

Pickford to Spurs is a rumour as old as the hills. Fully expect it to happen in the summer.

 

Yeah, Pickford and Raya both keep getting linked to us. One of them is bound to be here in the summer I think

 

Enjoy those t-rex arms and his incessant screaming at his teammates. I can't stand his lack of composure.

 

Dan Burn looks like that kid who has the first growth spurt and towers over the other kids on the field. Pretty nifty goal from him, and nice story scoring his first as a hometown kid in a cup QF

 

Watching Wrexham v Bromley and one of the Bromley defenders doesn’t have a number on his back. Is this common in lower leagues / non league?

 

Clearly we were resting against Wednesday and definitely not just shite.

 

I'd assume he ripped or got blood on their jersey at some point? Not totally uncommon to see a player have to switch into a blank when that happens.

 

Howe has played such a consistent XI when fitness allows, there were a lot of really rusty players on together against Sheffield.

 

Rashford almost botched that

 

I absolutely hate him and hope we go for Raya instead lol

 

Rashford has had a proverbial firecracker up his arse...or something akin!

 

Casemiro is the greatest midfielder to ever grace gods green earth.
