Yeah crazy. Didn't expect it at all. Milan have done some good business so far. Signing Biglia as well. Rumoured to be after Auba as well.

I think so many changes and the Europa could cause them problems when it comes to top four, though. Fancy Inter to get one of those spots. I don't think they'll have as many changes and Spalletti could help get the best out of some of the current squad.

Seria A will be more competitive next season

In theory it should be. Thought that the last few seasons and it's not always been the case. Juve will still win the league, though.

That reflects badly on you then Forza.

Edin You must be gutted. I notice that many Spurs fans have done a quicker u-turn on Walker than the Arsenal fans did on Welbeck.

I am gutted, Spurs fans are bad for this when bale went we said Townsend was like bale but with a right foot ffs.

Only upside is if Peirrera is as good then he have 28m to spend on pretending to get Barkley

It's bad for Spurs selling Walker. Not just does it strengthen City and weaken you it doesn't send out a great message with regard to keeping your top players in the duture.

Tbf tho skids/darren it's the same with most fans. Lukaku went from being behind ibra in most Utd fans eyes to this hybrid of Ibra & Raul. Ditto Chelsea fans who now have done a massive uturn on the excellent Costa.

We are all overloaded with idiot fans, which is why not one board on here is credible.

The one thing I would say is I don't think this is a case of selling our best player I think it's more a case of Poch didn't want him. This is all speculative and I have no clue though, been a bad window for us so far.

posted on 14/7/17

Yeah that's true about the boards.

I think he must have begrudgingly decided he'll let hik go as it must have become clear Walker wanted to leave. Not saying it will, but it must put some doubts in the minds of others at the club it one of your top players wants to leave.

Your wage bill is also a factor here. Spurs the last two seasons have had numerous players playing at a level where they have a fair right to be wanting parity with the highest earners in the league.

Many Spurs fans will say they love Spurs and Poch so it doesn't matter but I'm not sure that's true. They're no different to most other players who want to earn big money, play for big clubs and win trophies.

Big couple of years for Spurs with their new stadium move.

TBH I like our whole pay cap and all that but we do stupid things.

Alderweirled ok apparently 60k should be on 100
Rose apparently on 30k should be 80
Dele apparently on 50 should be on 80

Mane would have cost us 8m more than Sissoko but we wouldn't pay the extra, Mane is on 70k a week and Sissoko is on 100k.

Levy is a very good chairman but is certainly on the wrong side of frugal.

posted on 14/7/17

Yeah but how long will the players accept such wages when they're playing at the level they are? They can, and would, easily be able to double, treble or even quadruple their wages at some of the biggest clubs.

Levy will have to change the wage structure at some point or he will risk Spurs losing a lot of their best players. The new stadium is a step in the right direction, though.

posted on 14/7/17

I genuinely don't believe players care that much about extra wages from 100 onwards and it's the pull of the club more than anything. Danny Rose on 30k though ffs.

Don't be silly.

Which player has moved from a reputable club they are happy at to another whilst on that wage?

Pogba

Juve after Matic. Hope to god this is true, would stop us signing him.
