One of our youngsters has joined Spurs? Luca Gill? Don't know anything of him I presume he wasn't highly regarded if we are willing to let him go.
1.) 03 Feb 2025 21:52:11
Guess who his agent is.
2.) 03 Feb 2025 22:00:00
He’s the kid who got banned last season. He tried to punch a Man Utd player and then later on succeeded in elbowing the same player in an off the ball incident.
3.) 04 Feb 2025 01:01:41
Shipley, I think we should’ve rewarded him with a new contract for that!
4.) 04 Feb 2025 04:27:50
I guess Hughes has been busy with Luca this window.
5.) 04 Feb 2025 07:40:24
Hughes has been putting a 1000000 page dossier together on non-league youth prospects who can be flipped for a few sheckles.
6.) 04 Feb 2025 09:57:08
I’m sure you thought that was funny @Vango, but for the life of me I can’t see why.
7.) 04 Feb 2025 11:55:12
I guess by the same logic Chelsea didn't rate Rio Ngumoha as he signed for us?
Players in the youth set ups move for all sorts of reasons, doesn't always mean the club didn't rate them. Only time will tell if he is playing for Spurs or Southport in the future. There is just so many unknowns in developmental football.
8.) 04 Feb 2025 13:39:43
Good point, RedQ, and the lad could it as a stepping stone and end up at Southport.
9.) 04 Feb 2025 15:31:40
@wdw cos you don't do banter.
10.) 04 Feb 2025 18:55:18
As a I say I’m not the only one @Scouse. Keep it up though, love your work.
09 Aug 2023 20:55:37
Seeing links that Man U are in for Pavard. We seem to have been linked with him earlier on in the season. Would he be someone that we are interested in and actually act on it?
{Ed002's Note - Not so far.}
1.) 09 Aug 2023 22:56:22
Apparently Chelsea have bid for Lavia and nearer to the 50 wanted any truth Ed that your beloved chelsea have embarrassed us?
{Ed002's Note - It is not about embarressment.}
2.) 09 Aug 2023 23:08:18
It’s very embarrassing that we actually want this player and now messing around over 4 mill 4 days before the start of a season.
3.) 09 Aug 2023 23:38:36
Would love pavard, perfect rb cb option.
07 Apr 2022 12:20:53
Is Serge Gnabry someone that could interest Liverpool if Salah doesn't stay on or even as a long term replacement for Salah/ Mane. Obviously he's done pretty well for Bayern since joining then but can't say I have seen a lot of him.
{Ed002's Note - Serge Gnabry (RW/LW) Seems to fail to settle at any club and is not open to signing a new contract without a significant increase in salary, and it is his very significant financial demands that are proving to be a problem. Barcelona have him on their list of options, but they are going to have to balance summer transfers carefully and his wage demands will be an issue. The wages are less of a problem for Juventus where tax laws are beneficial. Real Madrid consider him an option to Mbappe as they look to shake up their wingers. Versatile enough to be considered a Martial replacement at Manchester United and on the list for Liverpool as a potential Salah replacement - but none will want to break the bank for him. Has been offered to Chelsea and PSG by his agent, but both see the wage demands as far too high.}
1.) 07 Apr 2022 17:23:43
Thanks for the reply.
21 Mar 2022 18:24:30
Ed's with Dybala looking increasingly likely to leave Juve on a free (albeit with a large signing on fee I'd imagine) would he be someone Liverpool may look at to replace Salah considering his predicament. Also do you actually rate him can't say I've watched him a lot and doesn't really seemed to have hit the heights he was destined for. I'd imagine there will be a host of clubs going in for him Inter, PSG, Man U, Spurs?
{Ed002's Note - This has already been answered on the European pages.}
1.) 21 Mar 2022 20:20:32
Doesn't make a lot of sense to me to let Salah leave then throw big (although not as big) money at Dybala. I'd rather pay the extra wages to keep Salah.
2.) 21 Mar 2022 22:58:21
Not a Klopp style player - doesn’t work hard enough and not quick enough - nothing to see here.
3.) 22 Mar 2022 19:15:24
Age isn't on his side for me, I'd prefer we invest in a younger player. Dybala makes sense as he'd be more than likely to guarantee goals, but surely we'd end up with an aging squad predicament in a few years time, needing to reinvest yet again?
21 May 2021 07:17:25
Whilst I accept we won't be making any offers for kane all the pundits have him nailed on for City and that makes them unbeatable. But surely with FFP if they spend £150 mill on a player they will have to have some serious outgoings? Do you think any of the likes of jesus laporte ake Garcia Torres Silva maybe will be actively looked to be sold. Would Jesus or Laporte be worth a look for us? Personally I think if spurs could get Laporte/ Ake and Jesus and £50 mill for Kane they would be crazy not to do so.
Also will we be looking to add a keeper at all I presume Adrian will be leaving.
Thanks.
1.) 21 May 2021 08:25:19
Garcia out of contract in the summer lad, supposed to be off to Barcelona.
2.) 21 May 2021 08:26:27
Kane is not better than Aguero of 3 years ago when we battered them 5-1 in the Champions League. Unbeatable? We slapped Bayern with Lewandowski. We slapped PSG with Neymar and Mbappe. We slapped Spurs with Kane in a Champions League final. We battered Barcelona 4-0 with only 1 of our front 3 despite them having Messi.
Have a word with yourself mate.
3.) 21 May 2021 09:00:55
150mil for Kane when Haaland is available for a similar price makes no sense to me.
4.) 21 May 2021 10:24:07
Haaland is another level above kane and a better investment also, if you bidding 100m + for a striker.
5.) 21 May 2021 10:38:31
Ibiza Red, I don't think we need to worry about who City gets unless they are after the same players that we want. While having Kane to replace Aguero is important for City, I won't say that they are unbeatable. On our day, we can beat anyone, try asking Barca.
But it will concern me if other clubs strengthen and we don't. I hope we don't mess up the transfer window and we'll bring in some good additions and get rid of the players that won't get a chance to play.
6.) 21 May 2021 11:25:32
Mk Scouser I am not saying they will be unbeatable I am saying that's what many pundits have been saying. That if City sign Kane they basically wrap everything up.
7.) 21 May 2021 11:30:41
And your comparisons are almost stupid. Kane added to an already very very good squad is not like playing against a spurs with kane or even a barcelona squad of a few years ago that have been past their best for a very long time. But the main reason for the post was wondering if City will be restricting in even bidding for Kane or Haaland because of FFP even though we know they have the money to buy either one. So MK I don't need to have a word with myself thanks.
8.) 21 May 2021 12:24:23
Kane would be a fantastic addition to City. he already creates so much and puts away goals in a crappy spurs team. can you imagine him with sterling, b. silva, mahrez funning around him and de bruyne, gundogan, foden pulling strings behind him. hahaha, just hatin' to say he would make no difference lol.
doesn't mean we can't beat em, but c'mon now.
9.) 21 May 2021 12:35:35
City will just pay their way out of any FFP fines, FFP is a load of bollox that let's owners like ours hide behind it.
10.) 21 May 2021 12:37:21
The way you wrote it came across as though you thought it makes them unbeatable. If it was genuinely just bad wording then of course, it is the pundits who need to have a word with themselves. My comparisons are most definitely not stupid though. One good players doesn't make a team. Adding an elite player to a good team also doesn't guarantee success. Injuries can happen. Squad balance can be affected. Style of play can be affected.
I couldn't care less where Kane goes next season. The colour of the shirt he wears in Van Dijks pocket is irrelevant to me.
11.) 21 May 2021 13:20:04
Signing Kane to replace Aguero makes sense. Their squad on paper at least will be stronger than the squad of this season with Aguero mostly out injured. I don’t think it makes them a stronger squad than the one we saw the season previously to this year though. So next year and the year after when we are back to normal again will they be unbeatable? No. Not for me. They will be as strong as the team we beat to the league last year for me, so a there or thereabouts team as usual. If we have an injury free season next year then I would still fancy us for first or second.
And saying all that, who’s to say Kane won’t flop? We have seen plenty of great players move over the years and we have all said they will be unstoppable and then it all goes wrong for them. Torres to Chelsea anyone?
12.) 21 May 2021 15:16:07
I just don't get the Kane hype. WGAF? Wouldn't have him near this squad!
13.) 21 May 2021 15:37:01
Ferran Torres looks a really promising player but I doubt they’d sell him.
14.) 21 May 2021 17:18:38
When city buy a top class striker they will have all the pieces of their puzzle. They will be out in front next season by a bloody long way challenging on all fronts. Front to back they have a pretty unbelievable set of players. For us I think it will suit us feeling like the underdogs. It will hopefully bring back that dogid mentality back! Come on you red men.
15.) 21 May 2021 17:21:06
Kane will go to Man U
Greenwood Lingard and Williams in opposite direction plus some 80 million.
16.) 21 May 2021 20:13:18
Langland,
Why on earth would we sell Greenwood? He’s 19 and going to be too class. No chance he’ll be sold. I also think Kane will defiantly end up at City and with an already formidable squad that signing would guarantee the league for them next season IMO.
17.) 21 May 2021 20:34:08
+1 for Adam and Cymru.
Kane is much more like a Man Utd signing, who tend to want to buy players 'ready made'. Haaland could give you another 10+ years of sterling service (no pun intended! ) and is still improving.
18.) 21 May 2021 22:59:43
If city get kane and we can get close to 100 points again doesn't matter who they have it take some beating.
19.) 22 May 2021 06:20:12
United would have to offer a lot to Tottenham to get Kane for 80mil, plus Levy knows City can and will pay more. I just don't see how It's can afford Kane and why he would want to go there if he wants to win titles? He may win the odd Europa League with them but that's it.
Whilst City/ Chelsea and us exist in our current forms, United are going to struggle to win the league. City have formed an amazing defence now and have a team firing on all cylinders. Chelsea will spend again to try and beat City, and we have half our first team coming back.
United apparently have much bigger issues in their team GK/ CB/ CM than strikers, Kane so improve that for them!
20.) 22 May 2021 08:38:17
If we add konate, a striker and replace gini and City add kane and loose aguero, I see no reason why they are unbeatable. Our front 3 is as good as theirs, our defense is better, our keeper is better and their midfield is better (but not by much) . A pretty even contest.
21.) 22 May 2021 19:21:48
MK Scouser For me Kane is a better player than Aguero. Aguero is a goal scorer with great movement but Kane offers far more and I think has a slight better goal average playing for a team nowhere near city level. I would love Kane upfront for us I could see him getting 30+ league goals a season for us.

I'm not asking for a contract update, but just wanted to know can salah, VVD and Trent all sign pre contracts after Jan with foreign clubs or can this only actually be done in the transfer window. So for example could Trent sign a pre contract with Madrid in April if he wanted to? It's almost like one is waiting for the other to see what is happening. For me the most important to the stability of the team short term is VVD.
{Ed001's Note - yes they can sign a pre-contract agreement with clubs outside of England any time now. A month before the end of their current deals, they can sign one with a club in England.}
1.) 22 Jan 2025 12:12:22
Didn't know the last part there, Ed01. Thanks.
{Ed001's Note - very welcome Oli.}
08 May 2025 06:45:45
On a free he’s worth a punt, yes his wages will be high but he will bring a touch of class to the team I’m sure that will rub off in training. We won’t need him to play 90 mins every game but he’s a hell of a player to bring off the bench if you need some creativity.
15 Mar 2025 23:36:17
Let’s see what happens. But all this contract debacle is all on the owners and hierarchy at the club. If VVD decides to join Bayern he’s almost guaranteed the league every year and can probably extend his career by a few years.
02 Mar 2025 08:53:35
Cunha looks like a great fit and if he’s £50 mill cheaper (based on rumours) also the fact we know he is available with his clause I know who I would rather we chase, instead of wasting a summer going after Isaak and it doesn’t materialise.
I wiuld presume Nunez is likely to leave, such a shame as would love for him to have worked out. He’s still a young lad and it may be as much as he’s struggling to adapt to life in uk, which is then effecting on field performances as I would expect him to be a success at his next club. Would love Diaz to stay due to his versatility, jota unfortunately is just made of glass. But even if we kept all the same front players would keep us in good stead for next season. Most important for me is we add another midfielder to cope with game management and a left back.
22 Feb 2025 06:29:54
For me Arsenal have the slightly easier run in but we have the advantage of playing them at home. We win that it destroys their belief (on the basis we still have a slight lead on them at the time of the game) . Yes we’ve got city and Newcastle next but I think they will struggle away to Forest so if we match their next 2 results I will be more than happy. CL will be tough, but league is priority. Then hopefully we get the contracts sorted and get some additional players in.
30 Jan 2025 06:33:33
Exactly JK23. I like that it’s a draw and isn’t it nice city have the chance of either Bayern or Real. We will get either the winner of Monaco and Brest or PSG and Benfica. There is nothing stopping you drawing a team you have already played or a team from the same nation either I believe.
16 Mar 2025 19:33:33
gujar- not sure Elliot and Chiesa should’ve started but could argue that Endo could’ve as Gravenberch has been looking knackered last few weeks and off it abit. god knows what Nunez is doing in training for Jota to keep being picked in front of him as Jota has been awful recently and the changes came too late today. I thought the only players that come out with any credit today were Quansah and Chiesa.
Credit to Newcastle they battered us in every department but especially midfield where Bruno was exceptional. Why we continued to put MacAllister on Burn at set pieces was ridiculous and to be honest VVD should’ve taken charge of that after the very first delivery that Burn won so easily.
Let’s hope we can limp over the finish line and get the league done which will still be an incredible season. Think it could be an interesting starting line up next season!
12 Mar 2025 06:50:35
I thought we played reasonably well tonight but they just had more pace and energy so always looked dangerous. It does emphasise what we are missing as we don’t have the players off the bench. Robertson was short again tonight bar 2 crosses later in the game his delivery was terrible. Gravenberch struggled over the 2 legs for me. We are definetly a quality midfielder or 2 short as MacAllister and Szoboslai can’t play every match. And honestly I can’t believe Slot started with Jota tonight when you actually had a Nunez confident and in a bit of form. Never fancied us in the pens. but let's hope we win Sunday then its still a fantastic season!
05 Jan 2025 23:47:09
Trent was woeful today but it’s 1 game. In general he’s had a good season and he wasn’t the only one that was poor today. Alisson wasn’t great by any means, Jones was poor. Diaz quiet. Gapko struggled first half. Salah wasn’t great. I would say the only 2 good players were MacAllister and Gravenberch with VVD and Konate not far behind them.
