YouUnastanFren Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Iirc it wasn't £25m up front, it was £20m with a potential £5m in add ons. The add on clauses were probably completely unrealistic like earn 10 England caps and start consecutive games at a major tournament. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidcow Posted June 20, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Was a bit worried in an England interview I saw with him last night from the Tottenham training ground where he suggested it was better than ours as ours has only just been rebuilt and is supposed to be about as good as it's possible to be. Other than that it was a great interview. He can't play basketball though. Edited June 20, 2021 by sidcow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs training facilities don’t seem to be helping them attract a head coach or keep their best player, no matter how good they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He says he thought Villa's was good until he went there but he said it semi jokingly. I think Villa's will continue to be developed over the next few years though. The new building they just opened is supposed to be state of the art but a lot of the rest of BMH is still from the start of the Randy era.

I know how good he is. Massively under appreciated by some of our fans. There’s no doubt he does have lapses in concentration which he needs to cut out but that nothing to do with his ability. He is a top defender. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I commented on the facebook post in response: " Jack just said he hopes to play under Mourinho one day on Talksport ( Not wise words, thinking of Deano and Villa etc), and no one batted an eyelid, so why should they be upset about Mings commenting on a training facility? . Seems outrage is selected based on how loved a player is ffs. Non story. " " Sometimes I feel like some people will look for any reason to have a dig at Mings, when in reality, he is probably one of our more intelligent players, and wouldn't spout nonsense for the sake of it, without knowing what , or why he is saying what he is.

Would add though grealish obviously meant Jose for the England job The surprise for me was that they're at spurs training facilities and not St George Its not outlandish to say that despite our new facilities another teams are even better Its also unlikely that players are joining clubs or leaving clubs based on the training facilities any more, those days are gone, Tyrone is not going to put in a transfer request because spurs have a basketball court and we don't Absolutely nothing to see here 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And a 4 hour journey to Wembley is a lot worse when you have to make it there and back 3 times in 8 days. They train at St George's Park but now the tournament is ongoing they are at the spurs ground. They are playing every game at Wembley. Also key point is in non major international tournaments spurs will still be using their training ground. Right now they are all on holiday so it is open.

Their facilities being better than ours is hardly a massive issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Our grass is way better though. Big up Ty. Being in the public eye must be unbearable at times. One of the downsides of technology sadly is that idiots can say what they want with no repercussions most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
