We should try putting in a cheeky bid for Kane.

But they are arguably the best players at Spurs in their respective position. Take them out and they're left with almost nothing. Think Kane might pull the trigger soon. He does seem to have an ambition of wanting to win trophies and he turns 27 next year. Not a big window left for him.

Think they will do it regardless. Eriksen, Alderweireld, Vertonghen look to be heading out already. Spurs just do not have enough quality players to bridge the gap with Liverpool and Man City.

I don't think he'll go to Spurs. More likely Allegri will turn up there than Mourinho.

Levy willing to spend is one thing but how big he is willing to spend is another. For all we know, their transfer budget could be just 100 million. It's hard to tell what Levy wants. I know Spurs have just gotten their new stadium etc but he just seems very content of being competitive and not bothered about winning trophies at all.

I'm sure he'd rather go to a team like Spurs. Will be really interesting to see which of the top 4 contenders gets sacked first. But we all know Daniel Levy is not a big spender and that doesn't go down well with Mourinho. Arsenal are certainly more inclined to spend than Spurs. Think Pochettino is the safest because of the credit he has built and he signed a new contract not too long, IIRC.

It's debatable. Ljungberg doesn't even have any managerial experience, unlike Solskjaer when he took over Man United, and it's tough to say he'll turn things around at Arsenal. Heck, I guess any decent manager out there would likely do a better job than the clueless Emery right now. You never know with clubs who are desperate. Think Mourinho will do well in the short term, just not in the long term obviously.

I would be surprised. The fella is desperate to be back in a job.

My one slight concern about Arsenal if they decide to sack Emery and hire someone like Mourinho. Then that could be trouble.

Who says anything about Arsenal? I'm talking about Sheffield United!

I suspect it'll be down to 6 after our City game...

Can't be bothered about Leicester at this rate as long as we do our business for the Top 4.

As much as I want to be above Leicester, a Leicester win here is fine for us TBH.

Here's the thread in all its glory - https://www.redcafe.net/threads/ole-united-vs-frank-chelsea-who-will-have-the-better-season.450105/ Problem with Solskjaer is he doesn't seem to have a clue on what he wants. He's just making things up as it goes along and saying fancy words to fool people in pressers/interviews.

Manuel Pellegrini...

The lot over on Redcafe are fawning over Lampard. They even have a Lampard vs Solskjaer thread!

Over in Northern Ireland...

So we gotta root for Liverpool to keep on winning then?
