Spurs vs Man City- SKIPP starts

[KeiranShikari 1,402]

You honestly didn't need a source to know that he wasn't coming back. Thanks though.

Fernandinho is actually older than Tettey. Just saying 😂

Ampadu will be more than £10m though. I can't see us breaking our transfer record yet again.

Hard to determine what his valuation is, but can’t see him being much more than that surely?

Are we getting Kane and not Skipp then?🤔 Webber playing the bluff game perhaps?

I think we already have Kane, he's still in Grant Hanley's pocket🙃

From a physical perspective City getting bullied in the middle of the park good example of what having strong midfielders can bring to your team

It’s disappointing but at least as supporters we can draw a line under it now. Fortunately I don’t think this will be news to Farke and Webber, and we’ve therefore probably been in talks with other players for some time now - the Rashica deal being a good example that such deals can take months to come to conclusion. Will be interesting to see if we get one in this week before Man City or whether it’ll go to the last week. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if we make a bid for Ampadu from Chelsea, I have a sneaking suspicion he might be the one. 

Ampadu strikes me as the kind of young player that Farke could work with and develop

Indeed. £13.5m according to transfermarkt. Depends how much Chelsea want to sell, and he still has 2 years left on his contract.

No harm done Wolfo, for a while it was all very intriguing.  He's settling into this game  though.

Bullsh*t! He looks well out of his depth, he's been awful. Could definitely do with another year on loan. 😉

I like Ampadu as a player, but sadly for us (and @Alex Moss), I think I'm right in saying that you can't loan two players from the same EPL club, so it's a non-starter 😞

As I said on the transfer thread, Wolfie, I know the loan option is not an option so it would have to be a permanent : ) - question is, do we have the readies?

[Ken Hairy 3,756]

Skipp celebrating that goal with Son was the first time in the game I'd noticed he was on the pitch 😂. 

Although that's kind of his game I suppose, Grealish however.... Has he even touched the ball???

Yep, when you look at what’s ahead of him at Chelsea, it would be surprising if they weren’t willing to sell though. For how much is the multi million dollar question I guess - and do we have that spare cash another. And although I obviously don’t know, I just get the impression he’s a Farke/Webber style signing, looks in the mould for age and potential etc

Would be an absolutely stellar signing, that's for sure!

Grealish is one of those players that looks good on the ball, but I question whether he’s not just a tad slightly overrated.

[Capt. Pants 4,194]

I hope Spurs don't play counter attack against us. The speed of their front 3 is quite terrifying.

Grealish keeps getting "fouled"

Possibly, ironically though got a text off a Villa mate yesterday that simply said "Buendia, waste of ****ing money"... 😂

Pretty much seems to be their main goal

Make sure you save that text so you can show him it again in 3 months time lol

De Bruyne getting a warm up for next week's big one.

Does anyone else think we need not 1, but 2 defensive midfielders (plus a centre back) to stay up?

Is there any worse feeling than getting an amazing player in who is everything you need at your club only to then remember that he's only on loan here and once he leaves he's never coming back?

 

😢

I'm convinced that this will be known as "gilmour syndrome" next year.

[cambridgeshire canary 6,669]

500 million pound lineup, most expensive team in history and they've lost two a row.

 

We need stonking rich owners in now 😡

Not really. A) we couldn't afford it as we couldn't play them together and B) if we did then out whole system would collapse and we would go down with about 3 goals in the 'for' column.
