All Fur Coat And No Knickers: Troy Deeney could swerve Spurs for West Brom

Sky Sports put this out yesterday and the guys on the news desk must still be laughing at our expense. The story goes as per the headline below. The like of which I’d really like never to see again.

The pain caused by seeing this once magical club dragged through the gutter in such a manner is difficult to take. Milik is a Ferrari compared to Deeney, the Datsun Sunbeam.

£32.5m for Polish international Arkadiusz is almost certainly beyond Tottenham’s budget. Daniel Levy apparently just made a truly horrible offer to Italian side Torino, whereby he actually offered to loan their captain and top goalscorer. What luck that Steve Hitchen rang – not.

Elsewhere, The Sun is reporting that West Brom are close to signing Watford’s finest. I am also given to understand from a Baggies’ fan that Troy lives an easy enough commute from The Hawthorns.

Spurs are Deloitte’s dream boys, yet on the grass, could we be any less authentic?
