Yep, we should demand COMPO.

Why would he go to Spurs? A team not in Europe, less chance than us of getting a CL spot or Europa spot at the end of this season. He doesn’t need them to boost his international chances. We have a better squad and manager. We can offer him every bit as good a contract as they can. He’s got a young family settled in the area.

This.

And the small matter that Levy wouldn't want to pay the money required to even get our attention.

Think Foggy or Cleggy would be better between the sticks tbh.

I was thinking this was descending into the normal Summer Whine.

Spurs fans I’ve spoken to think Richarlison will be given the chance to fill any Kane void. When signed he was brazils main striker so not *that* stupid especially if the Kane money can be spent elsewhere.

Levy will probably keep the cash though as they’ll run out of time to spend it.

God, I hope that's true; Richarlison is really not a leading striker ...

Yeah, he's just a permanently pissed-off looking dunderhead.

Frustrating player, I'm still a fan but that was a terrible penalty followed up by a nice cut back and finish.  Summed him up.

Just take him off penalties and we'll be fine.

 Surely Tielemans if on the pitch will take pens from now on.

A quick Google comes up with Tielemans scoring 24 pens out of 29 taken.

His range of passing and comfort on the ball anywhere on the pitch and in tight spaces is beautiful to watch. I can’t recall we had so many technical adept players.

We’ve gone from hoofers at the end of Dean Smith, all the way through that wanker who came after to becoming technically superb with mostly the same players.

Ollie's stats are scored 4, missed 5. Doesn't include friendlies or US tournaments.

44.44% conversion rate.

Tielemans has a 77,27% conversion rate.

I bet Martinez would take a mean penalty, and is another guaranteed starter

Scoring 4 of 9 is an awful stat.
