Usually you can tell the rubbish from the fans' reaction, and unusually there are some people taking this seriously. Makes me wonder if this guy does have some credibility. The scintilla of credibility that one might squeeze out of this sugestion is that Spurs are quite well blessed on the midfielder front, but less so at right back. On the performance levels last season i think it would be hard to split the contributions of Aarons and Skipp, so a straight swap wouldn't be something I would object to.

kirku 1,332 Posted June 12, 2021 The fees talked about for Aarons are higher than what I think Skipp is worth (mainly due to his position). Cash + Skipp for Aarons would be a good deal, I think, but would Skipp want to come here permanently? Seems relatively unlikely Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Webber also said a ‘crazy’ offer from top 6 club but let’s not drag over those coals. If general fans opinion on Emi’s value was 40 and we got 33 plus addons it’s conceivable Max’s best offer would be 20% less than we think in these post covid times, although same applies to skipp. I don’t think a straight swap would be terrible business, I see skipp having more potential personally but a fair deal would probably involve some money our way I agree Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the point being made was that the fans were expecting £40m for Buendia whereas the club's valuation was around 20% less. The same could be true of Aarons. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds great, but I've only eaten quinoa once, in a chicken salad at a cafe-bar in Athens so not sure how that would go. Sea salt and balsamic vinegar crisps is never a bad call though. 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How he got off so lightly I shall never know. On 12/06/2021 at 09:25, Branston Pickle said: Hmmm. IMO it seems the main ‘criticism’ of Dowell is that he isn’t Emi...who clearly had a certain somoething about him (both good and bad). FWIW I think Dowell will do well in the PL and he also has a good dead ball in him. The assertion I was responding to was literally that he was a “potential Buendia replacement”.
