Yep Spurs should fine the shit out of them...they were advised not to go...
Fracking morons...
A £ 42.5 million moron. Good start ain't it ?

By the way, Ben Davies has shown again why we should have sold him. Absolutely terrible performance against a 3rd tier team.
But Spurs love stacking squad players for no reason.
You're tying yourself in knots. You should just call it a day.I believe he currently is a downgrade.

Re-read all of your posts on this and you'll see a spaghetti junction of contradictions.That's an insult and playing the man, not the ball. That is not tolerated on here. How dare you. I have a valid point you may not agree with. There is no need to be derogatory.
NRD we've also brought in Romero and Emerson both of which should improve the first 11I would say Eriksen, Modric, Toby, PEH, Vert were already further down the road than Gil and I'm not even trying.

All good points, the only thing I would say is look at the fee we paid for those players. We bought the 5 you listed for the same money we've paid for Romero and GilIt worked brilliantly.
The core of the most successful Spurs team in PL history was built through buying 25+ experienced, international players internationals who played European football with clubs:
- Lloris - 26 years old when joined
- Verts - 25
- Toby - 26
- Dembele - 25
- Wanyama - 25
I'd argue that buying young foreign talent is the riskiest approach we've taken so far,. Here's a partial list of players who were 23 or younger when joined:
Lamela, N'Jie, N'koudo, Janssen, Chirces, Yedlin, Wimmer, Foyth, Lo Celso, Ndombele
The only young players we bought abroad and really made it are Modric, Eriksen, Dier played in Portugal so classing as foreign) and Sanchez, and only Modric & Eriksen were world class.
The best success we had was buying young local talent (Bale, Rose, Walker, Dele), something we abandoned completely, and I hope we resolve this soon.
The reality is that any transfer is risky business, but IMO we really need a balanced approach,and this window we placed all the eggs in one basket - the riskiest one.
With their current fitness levels and our history in getting players ready, as well as the current form off Japhet, Sanchez and Dier, I don't see either as an improvement for this season.
Last season PEH and Reggie walked in our 11, this season, no addition can make a 1st 11 claim from the get go.

That's probably the problem a few Reais in the right hands and "problem? What problem!"Wait, so UK quarantine rules dictate that if they are coming from Croatia to the UK then they don't need to quarantine even if they were very recently in a red list country? What a garbage rule that really is. You might as well not have any country on the red list. No wonder the world is in such a mess with the lack of conviction given to travel rules during a pandemic.
Mind you I'm just surprised that FIFA/EUFA/CONMEBOL/FA/Premier League/UK gov/Colombel/whoever else sticks their nose into football, haven'tpayedarranged a deal to get footballers exempt yet.
Do you get offended by everything and everyone?
You're having a reasoned debate - as in all debates there are many facets to it, afraid I can't agree that pointing out that your statements can be taken as contradictory is 'playing the man'.
Calling you names for the sake of it would be playing the man but pointing out that you might be making contradictory statements could be construed as such doesn't hold true - perhaps the response should have been 'how am I being contradictory and tying myself in knots, show me or quote me' might have been a more valid response.
Isn't a player entitled to challenge the Premier League and their clubs ruling though?
I not sufficiently savvy on the governance of the game I admit but I thought FIFA were the final arbiters on the rules and regulations of the game.
Does the PL have the right to make a ruling that's in contravention of the governing body's laws? It's like a company making a rule that's illegal by law. They can't do it.
So whose rules do the players follow? FIFA's or their clubs and the PL?
It would have been interesting if England had to play an away game against a country on the 'red list'. Would the PL have so readily banned players from travelling?
