Meh.That's a lot of money for Pulisic.
Pretty much. He's asking for more money by the minute and is rejecting teams while being rude.I don't think Rabiot is going to wind up anywhere he hopes for at this rate.
I mean, no disrespect to Spurs, but if he could play at Real or Barca, they’re a bit different level.
Rabiot probably thinks he's proven to be good enough at PSG. Doesn't think he needs to prove himself at Spurs.I guess could is the main word here. Obviously, no-one unless they are set on playing in the PL for some reason, would choose Spurs over Real or Barcelona. No disrespect to Rabiot, but it might not be such a bad idea for him to go to a place where he becomes the main man in midfield for a couple of years before moving on?
Certainly going to be interesting to see what Spurs will do with their central midfield. Sissoko has been shockingly good these last couple of months as a CM. And Winks is slowly developing into the player I hoped he would, but Wanyama has been either crap or injured, Dier has never improved from his first season in the PL and Dembele is clearly not able to play in the PL fitness wise. Skipp looks promising, but that midfield has to be improved upon. And I believe funds are available.
I mean, that's what happens when you lose your starting place to players younger than you. I mean Liverpool was in on the player but I doubt they wanted to spend that much on a back up with an end product that can be best described as inconsistent.A year ago, someone told me here Pulisic would go for 80+M. Now, everyone agrees it's a miracle BVB got 60M for him.

Anyway, Rabiot never thinks he has to prove himself.
As for Sissoko, I hope DD doesn't watch. Unfortunately, he is probably watching more Spurs games than any other team.

Maybe they see what Sancho is doing there, and what Harry Wilson (for example) is doing in the Championship and think they don't need to spend money there, because they can promote someone internally.
Rabiot would start for Barca IMO. And probably soon for Real (they'll likely lose Modric anyway).Would suggest it being a case of "proving himself", but he certainly wouldn't currently be a given starter at Real or Barcelona. Real would need some fresh blood soon in midfield I guess, but if they don't consider Rabiot that guy.....
Anyway. If he for whatever reason considers Spurs to be beneath him then fine. Spurs are doing well because the team is an unit. Rabiot isn't worth upsetting that. At the same time I generally try not to judge people based on their public image. So if Rabiot came to Spurs willing to follow Pochettino then I think he would do fantastically well in that team. Rabiot - Winks - Eriksen in a midfield three would be very solid. The big black hole in the current line-up is that missing man in midfield.
Well, that was kind of the point.I mean, that's what happens when you lose your starting place to players younger than you. I mean Liverpool was in on the player but I doubt they wanted to spend that much on a back up with an end product that can be best described as inconsistent.
I dont think it's a contest.When the facts change, I change my mind. What do you do sir?
Probably not relevant for this window but filing this one away.
Tottenham growing twitchy as Eriksen stalls on latest contract offer
Probably the biggest flight risk of their core.
Yeah, for Bertrand Traore. Probably 2-3 windows, we'll see.Chelsea supposedly have a 2 year transfer ban coming. If so, that would have added a premium to the cost of Pulisic.
