If you have to say 'they aren't that type of player' then the chances are that is exactly what they are. Son has left his mark, literally, on a few players. He is very much that type.

Yeah, Son loves a niggle, but for the most part a lot of the best forwards in the world are like that. Suarez, Ronaldo, Mane, Rooney, Tevez (going back a bit), often they need that competitive edge to be as good as they are. Lamela was different though, he's just one of a kind. Like the mind of a 36-year-old English Sunday League midfielder trapped inside the body of a tricky Argentinian winger. :LOL: I am genuinely sad he's gone because he was pure entertainment.

No, he was pure filth.
 
So looks like City are going to seal a deal for £130mil for Kane

Apparently they have £300mil to spend because of winning the Prem ( despite it actually dropping from the year before )

And selling £150mil worth of youth players ?

Entertainers have oodles of talent, Lamela had very limited talent.

That's not true, he scored two rabonas for God's sake! He had other talents as well, he was a really good defensive forward, always hassling players and trying to challenge them. It was no coincidence he was often used in the big derby games, he understood the rivalries and had more passion than some of our supposed born and bred Londoners. One of my favourite moments was when he stamped on Fabregas' hand. A genius. :D

David Ornstein a reporter that knows more than most other reporters regarding Spurs is still saying Spurs will not sell Kane.

We shall see , Levy is playing hard ball and 130 million will hard to turn down.

In this late in the day I will find it hard to see Spurs selling unless they have some players waiting to replace him already - but the whole saga isn’t great for the player but then I don’t think he will care tbh

We have 3 forwards lined up that will eat all of the money that Kane would bring, wrong timing now so close to the start of the season, not good for player or club, my gut feeling is that he will not go in this window.
 
Arsenal, Everton and Newcastle are going to be comedy gold this season.

That's possibly the worst Arsenal side I've seen in 20 years.
