Maybe he hasn't been following Spurs and he thinks they're still the fantastic Bill Nicholson push and run outfit

Emery would have made him into a great player , improved him loads  and maybe ( big  maybe)  knocking at the england squad , where Frank might not make Valentines day .
If he dont want competition in a very good team then we wouldnt really want that type.

Exactly what I was thinking.

Could he do anything with Dele Alli?

Ah well, not to be and if Spurs are willing to offer silly money for him on a perm deal then help yourselves lads.

Specific to our midfield, he would have been training and playing alongside one starting England internationals, 2 starting Belgian international, one of the best DMs in Europe in Kamara, the great SJM and a young emerging Dutch international. Managed by one of the top coaches in world football with a good chance of CL football next season. There is a good chance he would have fought his way back into consideration for England. Instead he’s gone for the soon to be fired Thomas Frank at a club that is a mess on and off the pitch.

I do think he would have been a decent long term McGinn replacement but he's obviously gone for the short term gains of guaranteed play time, also in the CL, and it's a World Cup year. Also, he's a Landan twat. He'll regret it on a professional level soon enough.

He’ll probably be starting at Spuds, but would have (at least initially) been a squad player at Villa.

Spuds are allowed to spend that kind of money, Villa aren’t,

Can’t blame either the player or his club for making this choice.

Maybe it's true that Gallagher is intent on joining Villa as reported by Percy  and it may also be true Spurs have agreed a price with Athletico as reported by Ornstein. Gallagher is still in the position to reject Spurs offer. As has been said, if he chooses them over Villa we really don't want him.

Conor Gallagher understood to want to return to London and believes he'll get more starts at Spurs. @JacobsBen

i.e. player knows he's not good enough to get in our team and everything is easier about Spurs. Good luck to him, he'll need it.

Wow. If that’s true, best of luck chap.

Would have been a good signing but if he don't  want to come  to a exciting project like villa and instead go for mkney at a laughing stock shambles like spurs fuck him

Possibly as I thought then, better chance of immediate game time at Spurs in a world Cup year. Shame cos I'd think he'd be ideal for us, hope he comes to his senses.

At what point does Unai get pissed off with trying to keep us competitive with one hand tied behind his back.
