The Spursy Thread

I think right now we dont have a blanket ban so you can get around a travel ban from your country if you first go to another country that the US lets in. My parents are currently planning a trip and based on the current rules they can not come directly from the UK, but they spend some time in Antigua first.

So Man Shitty sign Grealish for 100 million, confirm they won’t be paying 160m to spurs due Kane and Messi is available on a free and 1 hour after a press conference in which Pep had to more or less hide his boner for Messi, England’s finest Arry has come out and said that he wasn’t due back at training after all.

Kane is such a fucking cunt I hope he does go to City. He’d fit right in there plus it will be a beautiful thing when city spend 150m plus on him (which pep will claim is only 5million net because some other made of funds came in for selling some cup cakes down at the club cafe) only to see their plastic fans go into complete meltdown when his glass ankles break after the first few games of the season.

He didn’t actually realise where the plane was taking him :joy:.

It was actually the Bahamas.

Did he swear that on his daughter’s life?

Spurs spending some money.

Romero seems like a good signing on the face of it, he was immense at Anfield last year for Atlanta.

Martinez is an impressive replacement for Kane. Might have to give serious consideration to putting him in my FPL team.

Bloody hell, I don’t know how they managed to pull off that one. Scratch that, it’s Paratici. Romero and Martinez are fantastic transfers, they won’t repeat the mistakes they made when they sold Bale.

If Levy is throwing money around like that, Kane is definitely leaving.

How the frack did he get into the USA???

Harry Kane set for Tottenham talks on Monday, Nuno Espirito Santo confirms (msn.com)

He’s rich. Probably chartered a private jet.

Still got to go through US immigration surely.

I don’t know the requirements. There do appear to be a number of exemptions though…

I’ve had flight booked for late August since January. Even my corkscrew mind can’t find a loophole to get in. You either have family, a green card, residency or serious pressing business matters. That’s the point.

This sounds like a very large loophole - everything gets called a ‘serious pressing business matter’ when it involves enough money.

I suspect you have an extremely pertinent point there.
