Right, but United wanted him on loan, too. Here’s the timeline of events:
Spurs bid 50M for him on a perm
Bayern accept, but the player says “no”
United come in looking for a loan
Player says yes
Bayern say they want an obligation to buy or a 50M perm deal
United say “no”
Spurs come back in looking for a loan with no obligation
Bayern and player both say “yes”
It’s fucking stupid, the whole thing.
I’m trying to work out if anyone was trying to play games but nope can’t work it out.
Word from Argentinian press is that Martinez has done his ACL.
Well it’s better than him doing someone else’s ACL with his 2 footed stamp
Not gonna lie, I had this exact same thought, felt guilty for about 0.7secs, then moved on with my life.
You reap what you sow.
Same knee as before, too. He’s likely finished at this level, hard enough to come back from one ACL rupture, but a second one and you have to start questioning the integrity of the repaired ligaments.
I don’t wish injury on anyone, but that’s not one of the saddest things I’ve seen. The way he goes about his business often seems dangerous to the opponent.
Yeah but United are involved so it’s “sensible”
What did I say this morning?! We might not have hit rock bottom yet! Well bloody hell, we haven’t! You never know what’s around the corner. Well…you do at United. It’s another big turd in the face!
Mark Goldbridge on Tel choosing to join Tottenham, 3 February 2025
Now that they’ve signed Dorgu, this probably removes them from the discussion around Kerkez ( if ever there was any serious interest on either side, i havent a clue).
as if he’d choose united over us
No Rashford, no Antony, Martinez out indefinitely. Addition by subtraction? Maybe they have some youth who will get chances, but that doesn’t leave a large margin for error even if they are only sustaining competition in the PL (not out of the FA Cup yet)
Malacia is also out on loan now and i dont think Shaw is back yet either.
They do have Dorgu joining and Garnacho hasnt left though.
They’re going all in on the Europa League. Alarmingly, they were the only team in either the CL or EL that made it through the league stage without recording a loss, mind you they had 3 draws and finished in 3rd place overall.
I don’t think they have a chance at winning the EL to be honest. It’s one thing to shithouse wins against the likes of Rangers in a one-off game at Old Trafford, but the two-legged format will be less kind to them, I reckon.
As soon as they meet anyone decent over two legs, they’re toast.
Report this morning asking if Dorgu could be Utd’s Gareth Bale. I refuse to read such nonsense so I assume the question is referencing that it took Bale 2 years to win his first game at home for Spurs
Maybe he is a keen Golfer.
