It’s good the transfer window closes before the season starts. We’ve got some massive home games in August but even if signings are bought on the last day of the window it gives the club over a week to prepare for Bournemouth.
I think getting anything at Spurs would be a bonus regardless of the team we pick.
I don’t think we will be ready by then. With the amount of business we need to complete it will go down to the wire.
Edit: realised after posting this the window closes before the first game so we have to be ready.
Sorry It was a typo. I meant ‘tempt’
The point is he would probably cost at least 7-8 million in wages to be tempted to join us. (That’s being conservative).
I personally couldn’t care less if we blew our wage structure on a player of that calibre but your the one that is normally cautious about our spending so I’m suprised you want us to sign him.
its wages that have killed us over the years. Not transfer fees.
edit: Not that he would ever join us anyway.
So let me get this straight Dem. On the one had you’re always worried about FFP and want us to be careful with our spending.
On the other hand you want us to blow up our wage structure to tempt a 30 year old centre half to join us!
Which one is it pal?
The irony of this is some Milan fans would probably have said the same thing about Gattuso after his season at Rangers or for those giants of Italian football Salerntina.
Maybe it was a little insensitive.
My mate who is a hardcore Leeds fans is happy that they could get 20m+ for him. I guess others don’t feel the same way.
For the first time in my life I ventured on to another forum to ask about Philips and I got loads of abuse!
Lovely bunch then Leeds fans.
Really hope we sign him and Leeds crash and burn...Again.
