    another thing to mention if we push Watkins out wide is that he will have a much harder time in getting into the England squad there vs at striker which might also play into his mind.
  2. Villaphan04
    yep, he almost scored an equalizer but their keeper made a great save.
  3. Villaphan04
    not the english midfielder I'd want from spurs, I'd be asking about Oliver Skipp
  4. Villaphan04
    yeah i find it a little weird that he's the most confident 'transfer journo' on that and all of the 'itk' Arsenal ones say nothing is close
  5. Villaphan04
    Yaremchuk looks a pretty tidy player
  6. Villaphan04
    honestly, it depends on if it really impacts who else we can buy... rather allocate it to a CDM or a Smith-Rowe/Álvarez type player to replace Barkley. Would love to see if a loan w/option is okay as well

    think ESPN has done quite well with the coverage of the Euros over here stateside.
  8. Villaphan04
    I know he is not really realistic, but I definitely wouldn't be opposed to seeing us sign him. Probably off to Roma thou
  9. Villaphan04
    I don't disagree with what you're saying, I just believe that spending 40 million on Tammy would not be the best allocation of funds for us.
  10. Villaphan04
    why have a LB take that pen
  11. Villaphan04
    agreed 100%, I just don't think spending upwards of 40m on Tammy is the best use of resources and money for us right now(and I believe you do)..... I would be pretty happy if we got him for a loan/option to buy though
  12. Villaphan04
    I don't think 40m is a unreasonable valuation (though if he doesn't move this summer, it will drastically fall because he won't get much playing time if any at all), but there've been many posts saying that we should be spending that when we already have Watkins which to me doesn't make sense
  13. Villaphan04
    yeah I'm still not sure what we're doing in terms of bidding for him -- especially at 25 & then 30 mil when they would likely want way more. At first I thought it was agent posturing but there's too much smoke for there not to be fire in this one/
  14. Villaphan04
    That is insane and i hope they find who was responsible

    if we didn't have Ollie, I don't think many of us would have as big concerns with buying Tammy for that. But we already have him, and he played in 37/38 games for us last year. I just don't see the need to spend that amount of money on a backup striker (when we've played with mostly 1 up top) while we have FFP enacted.
  17. Villaphan04
    don't see why either of those are necessary requirements for us as a backup. Bamford had 1 career PL goal before this past season, Watkins hadn't played in the PL. both ended up with double figures
  18. Villaphan04
    De Boer strikes again
  19. Villaphan04
    Tammy would be great if we get him on loan w/option to purchase. Gives him a year with us to figure out if he works in our current squad and would be a good signing. In the era of FFP though, I just think spending 40m on a position where the player we are buying is not a clear upgrade (and is arguably a downgrade) just makes no sense to me. I would actually lose a little bit of faith in the transfer team if Tammy @ 40m is the best value striker we can find (because there sure are many others out there that wouldn't come close to that price tag).
  20. Villaphan04
    was thinking it might be because Jesse Marsch is going to be at Leipzig. who knows though.
  21. Villaphan04
    yeah i mentioned it a while back but that is completely for clicks I think Close to reaching an agreement --> No fee agreed between the clubs --> clubs haven't even had formal talks. Well yes, then it's obvious that an agreement is close
  22. Villaphan04
    yeah combining CONCACAF & CONMEBOL would be ideal, but will never happen because it's not in the best interests of a majority of the countries in either organization. Would Argentina/Brazil care? Probably not because they'd still qualify, but Mexico/US/Canada/Jamaica/Costa Rica/ Columbia/Uruguay/Chile/Peru would all have a much harder qualifying for tournaments as they would have to play each other and less slots would be open. Also probably more important: less money for everyone involved

    really like the journalism from espn here. Manchester City close to £100m British record move for Jack Grealish - sources (espn.com) Manchester City close to £100m British record move for Jack Grealish - sources (espn.com)
  24. Villaphan04
    Surprised there’s not more mention of Kabak. Would fit as a young player with potential and price apparently slashed in half
