Considering nothing’s happening, by look at the back pages, the threat is sneeze and you might miss something historic.
Greg Stobart of Goal.com is running with Awesome Dawson being told that he is going to be an important player next season. For either Hull City or Queens Park Rangers.
Daws leaving Spurs doesn’t seen far fetched, but picking those two possible destinations seems too much like a a journalist adding you something that you’re likely to believe.
Then, the credibility of the whole piece is is scuppered with one line.
While Dawson has been told he is free to leave the club, Tottenham are less willing to let Argentine winger Erik Lamela leave.”
Lamela, our record signing Tweeted 5 days ago:
I’m really looking forward to this season, come on you spurs!! Motivado para la próxima temporada, vamos spurs!!”
My guess, is that you need in excess of 250 words for Google to feel the SEO love, and for the want of sacrificing that, we have to suffer another piece of irritating fiction.
Greg, if the Dawson tip is good, just share that and move on. Not one single reader needs to know Spurs played £4m to Nottingham Forest for Michael in 2005; plus anything else you used to pad the piece with.
Loic Remy to Arsenal is deal that Spurs are looking to hijack, say The Daily Mail. There is an £8m release clause for the 27 year old who suffered gang rape allegations in 2o13, which where dropped earlier this year.
The suggestion is that THFC would offer the French international first team football, whereas at the Arse he would face being rotated with Giroud and perhaps even Balotelli, should they land him.
Which conveniently airbrushes Soldado and Adebayor out of the equation, and firmly throws Harry Kane back into the reserves again. I’m unconvinced.
Then we have the gentle whoring of Memphis Depay.
Of course I’ve read that Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur are interested. But no more than that. I’ll see later. My agent Kees Ploegsma is here [in Brazil] too, but we are not talking about that kind of stuff. That is for after the World Cup.”
Nothing wrong with the lad at all, he’s a talented left winger, but this looks more like a not very subtle nudge to Van Gaal to make his move.
