The Footie Thread

[Lord Tyrion]

I was assuming he'd sometimes be the last to leave, and therefore be able to shoot into an empty net.

I'll repeat my previous post

Easily? It is funny how fans can make such claims after 3 games in the season. Sure, Man Utd have been dodgy (although still more points than we had this time last year ), but I think Chelsea haven't looked too bad at all. I think a few more games need to be played to truly see how they all stack up against each other

Its also funny how you have chosen to ignore the word "could" that was used.

Hey, if Salah goes, then Spurs COULD also easily finish ahead of Liverpool too.

It is exactly why I highlighted the word "easily"

Spurs could win the PL. Luton could stay up. There are millions of things that could happen, but many less that could EASILY happen. If Salah leaves Liverpool, Spurs could finish ahead of Liverpool, but I wouldn't say they could easily finish above them. I think it is more likely Liverpool could still easily finish above Spurs.

But it's either that or the bench as an impact sub?

Well yes, and that was my concern with him going. He'll rot on the bench like they did with Spence.

If he somehow turns into a goal machine playing that striker role, I'll be pleased as punch. (meanwhile the toxic NFFC twitter timeline will complain about how we let him go)

Personally, I dont think you'd have replied if anyone other than Phil posted that and/or they had not mentioned Man Utd.

Looks like some good business for Spurs if they get Johnson and Gallagher.

With the way the manager has them going they could easily finish above Chelsea and Man United and sneak a Europa spot

Not above Liverpool?

£47.5m apparently, with 10% sell-on.

Can't really complain at that as it's pure profit.

And in return it funds the purchases of;
Ibrahim Sangaré
Callum Hudson-Odoi
Odysseas Vlachodimos (Mad Greek GK from Benfica)
Nico Dominguez

With Tavares and Murillo already announced.

Bring in a backup striker for Awoniyi and this has been the best transfer window I can remember.

You’re getting Origi it seems. Isn’t it weird how one signing can ruin it all…?

Phil was clearly trying to bait Man Utd fans and he got his catch.

Great to see Big Divock back in the Prem - hopefully do well for them , certainly going to score his normal against Everton

Hahaha it was him or Batwhatshisface that used to be at Chelsea.

He’s only being bought in as squad depth, so I’m fine with it. And guarantees 6 points vs Everton with his goals.

 

[Deleted member 1147]

If Burnley don’t get Origi we’ll probably go in for Salah

 

[Deleted member 15344]

So Man United sign Evans on a one year deal


Next Saudi offer is supposed to be £200mil

I wonder why if they wanted him that badly why wait until now - wonder if it’s anything to do with making their other team’s opponents weaker

it's Big Divock's world and we all just live in it!

Lutons first home game tonight Vs the mighty hammers

Going to be a tough one , in their own ground .. home fans fully behind them

Really like the team selection, I'd say bar kudas fitting in some how it's our first choice 11 at last

You must have seen me comment on this thread before, and I've replied to just about everyone. Is Liverpoolphil off limits now, he can comment without reply? I wasn't even having a go at him, I just didn't agree that Spurs would easily beat Utd and Chelsea, due to the limited football we have seen thus far

I love footy. I love sports in general , but these past couple of years the money being thrown around makes me feel sick.
People starving , homeless, and dying yet billions is being spent on players in this stupid game.

Not just footy though.
Hovland has just won £18 million
Sport in general has gone mad.

I like some of the African players (and others ofc) but they use a lot of their money to fund projects in their home villages

We only have ourselves to blame. We are the ones going to matches, pushing for Sky, buying the kits, etc.

Obviously, none of that is relevant to the Saudi Arabian money. Although if they weren't spending it on sport, I doubt they'd be helping the poor in their country (an assumption on my part)

That's why city wanted paquata

Wonder if he had cash on that lol what a ball into Bowen
