Spanish outlet Don Balon are running with an interesting piece this ‘Domingo’, which may be worth Spurs fans’ consideration, on two fronts.
Front One. The Paul Dybala story goes beyond the preciousness of ‘will he ever sign for Tottenham?!’
According to the Spanish outlets’ Marcos Rodríguez, the man Tottenham Hotspur failed to sign last summer, was also offered it to Manchester United, PSG and Real Madrid.
This naturally raises more questions than answers, such as, “does the lad lack ambition?”
Some readers may recall the Harry Hotspur ITK that blew a hole in the frankly laughable ‘image rights’ tale that was doing the rounds.
If Manchester United, PSG and Real Madrid all passed on this great player, then that only adds credence to the ITK.
Front Two is this quote from Dona Balon: “Dybala prefers to go to other teams such as PSG and Tottenham, although the latter will depend on the continuity of a Mauricio Pochettino.”
If true, then Spurs that have been hollering for Pochettino to be handed his cards have – in a way – been working against the best interests of the club.
The potential pull of Pochettino ought not be underestimated.
In fact, if Daniel Levy calm his penny wise madness, he might ponder the infinite good that two Argentinian players did for Spurs, once upon a time.
On a separate note, papers running this, this morning- “Eriksen would prefer to join Real Madrid in the summer instead of January because he could then request a higher signing-on bonus” – If this happens and we cant shift him in January, I would be tempted to exile him. He adds very little value any more anyway, last thing we need is a player seeing out the last 6months doing everything possible to avoid injury. He has barely added value when he was playing to earn a call to Real, could you imagine if he signs a pre-contract with them. I would imagine he would be 10rds away from contact at all times, and stop before he changes direction when running.
then the lad people think we can lure from Leicester, Maddison – https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/10123425/james-maddison-casino-england/
Who is to say it was Rose’ choice to leave the camp? Southgate may have sent him home (unlikely) or Poch may have called all the players and said if you are not playing come home right now as we have been utter dog shite.
