Transfer Rumour Bolleaux

What do you mean? We started the rumours ourselves on here?

The first talk of us and Kessie i saw was from an Italian football news website (aka clickbait)
No, I don't mean we started the rumours on here.
I first read about Kessie and the link was with us (Newsnow probably), no mention of Chelsea.
You are probably correct it originated in Italy but if he is a good player I can understand our interest, especially if he can add goals to our squad.
 
If we weren't interested in Kessie we should be worried. Just the type of player we've become associated with. But now if the Chel$ea interest is real, then we're probably onto the next target.
 
Personally think he's an impressive prospect. Younger than Alli, and from the little I've seen (that YoutTube vid!) he's comparable to Alli, more than Dembele. He's more attacking, and comfortable shooting. He can dribble, as Alli can, but he looks stronger more powerful. Other clubs will be in for him sadly, as he looks like he could become quite a talent.

Well, we'll see. Personally I don't think we need someone like him - especially if we already have Alli.

Afterthought - also, if we're going for another AM, I'm starting to lean towards an older, Prem-proven player like Sigurdsson. Primarily because we have Edwards waiting in the wings, and also because (apparently) Samuel Shashoua, another highly-rated U18 lad, is also an AM. Either of those could be bedded in over time, while an older player like Siggy or A.N.Other provides a more immediate option.

All speculation started by a website that wants/needs clicks; we should have learnt by now how these things go...imo there is NOTHING to see here..

Do we actually need another player for that role/position.

The former Bulgaria captain, 35, is a free agent after being released by Greek club PAOK Salonika in June.

Oooo. This could divide a few. For free, for 5 months. I would still have him as an option off the bench, although I doubt he would fit into our pressing style of play

I swear there will still be stories about Berbatov coming back to Spurs in 2037.
