If we sell Diaby.
I think we have the war chest.

We"ll have a war chest like Dolly Parton in a Wondabra.
You don’t get that many millions to the pound :)

We can’t be getting rid  of him because of his leg

the doctors and physios will know more than us but even we know it’s a bit gammy so Spurs will also be aware
and believe it or not but they also have medical staff that will take a look



We are keeping his legs, and giving spurs the rest of him, at the price quoted.

The Ramsey talk is undoubtedly wishful thinking onntheir behalf.

I do like Kuluseski however. He's better than that wishy washy, champions of August shite.

Ha, a refreshing change (bollox I know but still fun)

He wasn’t happy that Angelina Balerina was only using him as a super sub, mate.

We're not selling JJ to Tottenham. Why would we weaken ourselves and strengthen a rival? Why would he want to leave? Spurs have always loved ITK bollocks. Like that time they signed Ashley Young every summer.

Get fucked you cockney twats.

Especially if Duran goes too.

We'll be in to Lola Ferrari territory then.

Showing your age and support of Channel 4 with that reference.

Do warchests ever actually exist or are they part of the media’s imagination?

In my head, every club has an actual oak chest, and it's filled with those big Bell's Whisky bottles except instead of being full of 1p and 2p coins, they're like 20p or even 50p coins. The odd pound coin even, cos they're proper flush from the sky money.

My old man used to have one of those massive Bells bottles and would fill it with spare change over the year (he was a cabbie so had plenty knocking around), and me and my sister would count it out and bag it up the week before we went on holiday.

That Twitter thing on Ramsey is recycled from the other week.

After Grealish left, I thought there was no point in getting despondent when players leave even if they're "Villa" from a young age. But losing Ramsey would be crushing.

I mate I used to work with filled one with £1 and 20p coins to save for his USA trip. Had £1500 in £1 coins and £80 in 20p coins when we took it to the bank. This is 30+ years ago, doubt a bank would touch it now!!!

My uncle Pat was a proponent of the old massive Bells bottle savings method too.

All those plastic Lloyds bags full of 2p pieces.

Contactless payments has ruined it for saving your coins in a jar. Halifax do a save the change thing on card payments where they round up each transaction to the nearest pound and put in a savings account for you. It’s more convenient but much less fun than finding you’ve got £100 quid just from chucking your shrapnel in a bottle.
