I don't know a lot about that Emmanuel Dennis, but just looked at his scoring record and it's nothing to shout about. Never hit double figures in a single league season, playing in Ukraine and Belgium. Comparing him to Wesley, who was also from Club Brugge and had a similarly average scoring record and he cost £22m and has ultimately flopped so far.

Not a lot of clips on YT either, but what you can find shows a player with pretty dodgy control. His first goal against Madrid went in when his first touch ended up playing the ball against his standing foot.

He doesn't play that many minutes so his goals per minutes played is decent enough. See: https://www.transfermarkt.com/emmanuel-dennis/leistungsdaten/spieler/448854/plus/0?saison=ges

Oh 😞.

 

Seriously though, he doesn't seem any better than Obafemi. Don't see any point in this.

Someone like Loftus-Cheek on loan wouldn’t surprise me 

He is made of glass, which is a shame as he is quality.

Not sure he is a '6' though.

If that ends up happening you would feel its low down the list of targets. Maybe a backup option.

Quite a signing, but not sure Mourinho has the interpersonal skills to make it work as Eva Carneiro will testify.

In my NFL whatsapp group the americans, especially women, are really excited about this. They don't follow real football at all but they were chatting about spurs and, strangely, Harry Kane due to this. Womens football seems pretty good for marketing yourself across the pond and you don't even need to splash out on a Pulisic.

personally, on balance, I’d keep him unless we find someone willing to take him on and cover all his salary and we can get a replacement for c. The amount we receive. 

Completely different situation to that of Hodet and lemina who are compete bellends... boufal is a pretty decent lad and a liked member of the squad. 

I agree with this, and as Stevy points out he was unlucky with injuries last season. Also I don't think 'not a bit part role' means starting every game, but more not 'only considered when we're desperate'.  i don't think he's fit for today, is he? Which would rather illustrate the problem.

You’re in an NFL WhatsApp group and you had the cheek to say I was boring the other day

NFL is a surprisingly fun sport if you give it a go. Not a coincidence that the superbowl is one of the most watched sporting events in the world.

I have given it a go but after 2hours I gave up . The games need to be reduced to action on the field . In USA people seem to have it on as background !

So the only recent links have been Choudhury (would surely cost too much yo be worth it) and the Russian lad (available on a free).

Imagine we will see some strong linka shortly as we are in dire need of another midfielder - cannot be in a PL season with two CMs (three with Smallbone).

Think we would look to replace Boufal (if he goes?) or do you think Ralph sees Tella as doing that?

Going to be tricky to find the money to afford 2 players.

RLC would be a very, very good signing. He was instrumental at Palace, but a poor spell of injuries has seen his career stall quite heavily. If we can get him on a similar loan to buy deal as Bertrand then I would be more than happy with him. Much better than Choudhury, I think he would bring the same class as Ings and Bertrand have from the bigger PL sides.

Lets get a team of double barrelled surnames.
