Ivory Coast International Ticks All The Boxes

The Daily Mail are peddling this cut n’ shunt death trap of a rumour.

Jean-Michael Seri ticks all the boxes.

All the wrong ones.

Roma’s purported £20million bid was apparently turned down because the 25 year old has a £35million buyout clause.

Whilst he’s made regular appearances for Nice, this might be down to the French club’s lack of genuine options. He was hooked off 8 times last season.

Then of course there’s the fact that he’ll go AWOL to play in the utterly pointless African Cup Of Nations.

You may be big on diversity, but I’m not when it costs Spurs our ability to compete to the best of our ability. Hell, if was possible I’d have a squad of players who weren’t eligible to play for any nation.

Then he’s French. We’ve had no luck with the last three, maybe time to look elsewhere?

The last time Seri held up a trophy was in 2010. We need to be looking for winners. Not journeymen.
