If you like your blogging ‘post literacy’ then be my guest …and enjoy the ‘Announce Dybala!‘ headlines cut and shunted from the random Tweets of cretins.
Alternatively you may wish to try to understand that football transfers aren’t as routinely straightforward as adding boiling water to a Pot Noodle.
The ‘So and So Swoop For Paulo Dybala’ headlines are now inevitable. The window is still open and to the best of my knowledge, Levy has for once dropped the smug chancer routine and is making best endeavours to back the manager.
If the solitary signing of Tanguy NDombele doesn’t quite do it for you, then I guess no amount of pointing to the calendar will do it for you.
Italian newspaper La Stampa who are based in Turin, say that Tottenham had a £44million bid rejected by Juventus.
This is either speculation, or perhaps the 25-year-old’s agent looking to drum up counter bids. Or perhaps the kid is a boyhood PSG fan.
It is also useful to recognize that the ITK about Christian Eriksen being involved in a move to Juventus was not invention. That swap deals may be popular on the back pages of the red tops, but they do not exist in the real world occupied by grown-ups.
Given all the factors in this equation, there is nothing to suggest that a deal would be concluded by teatime this evening.
No football desk in the world is going to sanction, ‘Juventus Star To Spurs Make Take A While To Thrash Out’ as a headline.
A call for calm.
