Excellent business by Spurs with Boussouma and Bastoni on his way.

Conte cannot do his annual groan about not being backed.

Dark horses this year, if they can keep Kane and Son injury free they can make a push for a title push or one of the domestic cups.

What do you mean cannot when he absolutely will because they didn't get... someone... at some point later on?

It's what Conte does

De Jong looks like he's digging his heels in, doesn't want to go to United, Barca really need the money and will have to force him out by the looks of it.

Not sure why United are repeating mistakes, signing a player reluctant to go there, it will be like Di Maria again.

Love seeing these - same can be said about 5000000 players and all clubs everywhere. Great in hindsight though, especially considering we were stupid enough not to sign a Norwegian boy who hadn't done anything remotely close to a footballing career - he was still a youth player there and had scored 0 goals IIRC. Was also on a trial at about 10 other Prem/Championship teams, I believe Leeds as well, as he's born there and all that lol

Headline clickbait is great though.

Good post, but we have form with missed-boats regarding young players who end up being world-class.

We let go of Eric Harrison who famously ended up discovering & coaching Man Utd's 90's golden generation.

When we did finally have a world-class young lad in the first-team (Rooney) we sell him off at the earliest opportunity.


Binning off Haaland is one more to add to the pile.

Cuz you're looking at us - Arsenal have the same series of flops (if not worse - rejected Gullit, Zlatan, Harry Kane etc.) and the fact someone discovered and coached a golden generation doesn't mean the same thing happens here - we had a brilliant and sought after DoF who made Leicester profitable (and also champions lol ) but we didn't let him work. Also for a golden generation you also need the players to sign for your team like lol Probably a reason why he left, and also Fergie has as much of a hand in those players' development as Harrison after all.

FWIW wasn't Harrison with us for about a decade of not a lot of youths coming through (or at least not to that level, there were some quality players obviously)? Some would say he wasn't without a chance to do that...

Taking a punt on any youngster (or all we're offered) is unnecessary, and saying we missed a player because he was on trial when he was 14-15 for a grand total of 4 days is nonsense.

Would you say Kane was good before he actually started shining for Spurs? Nah, he was crap, he didn't score goals, he got rejected - it made sense at the time. However, at Arsenal's academy he was told he's not gonna make it and moved on. Not every player's progress is linear - it depends where you are, how much you try, etc., just like any walk of life. It's great to say we've missed things with the benefit of hindsight 5-10 years on, but it's whataboutism defined.

Agree on Rooney though, but we were also skint lol

They're a mess. I'd say I love it but they still walked the league with Lewa and Kimmich and Muller etc.

Well that's the thing though - I'd expect them to get 'replacement' players for the aging ones you've mentioned, but instead they got a lad from Espanyol for about 10m euro to play... 10-15 games over 2 years and get sold for 12m euro lol Just randomly stacking players until at least 1 gets to be a hit?

Yeh be interesting to see who replaced Bobby L if they let him go. Talk of Stuttgart's Kalajdzic who is decent but no where near that level unless Mane is the striker. They got that Richards from Reading last Summer and now he's for sale as he's "deemed not up to standard". No shabite man, from Reading to Bayern Munich lol
