The amount of players that have either gone from us to them or chosen to go to Spurs instead of us seem pretty high and most of the time those players have done f'all whilst at Spurs. Or maybe one day people will realise that most of what is reported is a load of bollocks and there's every chance Spurs aren't even interested. Just a thought.

Just a thought. don't disagree but we have lost out to Spurs on a good few players. Because of that I think it's an easy link for the media to put in, despite performing much better than us in the league for a good while now we still often seem to go for different players.

RuffRob Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Not ridiculous money being asked for him considering we got £45m for Gordon and £8m for Simms. 19 years old is very young for a player to have already been physically cutting the mustard at Premiership level, never mind his footballing ability. I see him as pretty low risk at around £19M, and comes with the potential to double or triple your money. If he does come to us, my guess would be ifs for the opportunity to play regular first team premiership football over being on the bench or being loan out by other teams. That would show me the right type of hunger in a player. Finger crossed on this one. Matt Tiger 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Tiger Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 I really like this kid, and it would be a great piece of business simply evaluating his current level, upside, and fee. That said, the only concern is he prefers playing on the left, which will leave us in the same predicament we were in last year - two solid wings (depending on your opinion of McNeil and Gray) but both prefer to play on the left. I'll be honest I haven't watched him a ton so would love to hear if he's comfortable playing on the right (or in the middle). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 £20m for a player who has more ability than Gordon. We sold him for £40m. No brainer. Matt, Palfy, StevO and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted July 11, 2023 Report Share Posted July 11, 2023 Looking at the lad, he’s got a bit of Eden hazard about him. Same height and build, both quick off the mark. I’m hoping we get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goodison Glory Posted July 16, 2023 Report Share Posted July 16, 2023 Seems like this might be a non starter. I didn't realise he didn't have a release clause or that Leeds were "reluctant" sellers. Even if they are only reluctant sellers to drive up the price it makes it an unlikely sale in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
