Sevilla must fucking hate us. Villareal too. And all the other Villas, they're just bad cover versions.

Spurs tend to make even good players look crap.

They're basically like those tribute bands ... Faux Fighters, Nearvana, Pink Fraud etc.  Some of them might get pretty good, say the Bootleg Beatles, but at the end of the day they'd not be at the races if the real ones were on tour ... which we are now, around Europe :)

I watched the eye bleedingly awful Transfer Show yesterday on a slow news day for Sky Sports and they showed us some of the absolute tripe that Tottenham had purchased for crazy money.  None of the players were purchased for below 25mill and they are sitting in the reserves or on the bench.  Hojberg was about the cheapest of them.  Truly wank players.

The spurs fans I know - too many sadly - rated Lenglet and wanted to sign him permanently.  They were/are too skint, plus the changes of manger I suppose.

Konsa is interesting, a lot of us had him down as limited with the ball but there's signs that he's throwing off the shackles and looking like he fancies himself as a player

We aren't a particularly big side, so having Konsa at RB and Carlos at CB helps to add height to the side.

Just listening on the radio , and Palace have bought a new keeper. Which might free Sam Johnstone  up?

Is that not because their other keeper is refusing to play for them after being replaced as #1 by Johnstone when Woy took over?

Guaita ( I can’t spell) is more likely.
He’s fallen out with them I think.
