I think Spurs are a more attractive club than us currently.

Until they get knocked out of the Europa, and don't finish in the top 4, and then Levy sacks Pochettino.

Spurs are no upgrade on us. Neither are Dortmund, on course to be relegated from the Bundersliga given they are currently joint bottom.

Only Atletico would be a challenge to persuade Mirallas not to move to.

Totally agree. Could only see him leaving for atleti of those 3

What is it with Tottenham? Are they linked with every player to have ever played at, or linked to, the Everton Football Club?

They try to buy any footballer that looks half decent on the basis that if they get him, even if he doesn't fit in with the current manager's plans, they will soon have a new manager with a different style so it will hopefully work then.

@Yid4life might disagree with this view though

Everton, based on the past ten years' performances, should be a better proposition for a player than any of the other clubs mentioned in this thread. The thought that we are not is very worrying. I thought that the recent increase in TV money would provide a (temporary) fillip which could have propelled the club into regular CL participation. Instead, I fear that we are at the beginning of an unravelling of a decade's good work.

Atlético and Borussia Dortmund?
How do you figure that one?

I actually agree with you on this one... Atleti and Dortmund would have to be in the top 10 biggest clubs in Europe... despite Atleti being practically broke beyond repair and Dortmund being relegation fodder this year.
The day we join the ranks with these 2, is still a little way off I fear.
Remember, we're not the only team getting the increase in TV revenue, so all teams will have the same goals as us... and same if not better financial clout in the transfer market

If he wants to go let him go, he's not bigger than the club
If he wants CL football he should be doing everything in his power to take us there - not using it as an excuse
Every one of the players should
Grass isn't always greener and some have to learn the hard way, most do

That said I'll never sell him on FIFA15 - not even when PSG come at me with 35m.

Take off those fan glasses mate--both of them are an upgrade on us.

We have no interest in 99% of the players the media link us with. Not much we can do about the 'click whores' though is there?

Still on for the quadruple.... Very attractive club

leelead · January 19, 2015

If we could squeeze £15-20m out if atleti Madrid then I wouldn't mind. Obviously want him to sign a new contract stay on here but if he wants to go I would prefer it to be there.
Plus he has mentioned Spain before ??

I'm going to cry so much when this happens.

Good. We can't sell Mirallas in this window. If he wants to go he will have to wait until the summer but since/if we have an option then only if we can get someone younger with the same potential.
