Well I assumed we had all worked it out straight away...
Ahem.
Ahem.
Guess they enjoy the fact some gullible tacos fan the flames of their egos by doing things like screen shotting the page and uploading it to forums for wider coverage.....

Tottenham interested in French club’s head of scouting – Great track record of late
By Tom Coast -
4th July 2019
Often very interested in a number of Lyon players over the years, as well as signing a few, Tottenham have decided to take a closer look at where some of the Ligue 1 side’s recruiting came from.
Securing the services of Tanguy Ndombele for a record fee this week, Spurs have also, in the past, bought (with stark contrasts of success) Clinton Njie and Hugo Lloris from the French club.
One of the key assets in Lyon’s recruiting department has been, since 2009, Florian Maurice, who is now in charge of the scouting/transfer committee in the south of France.
However, the former striker’s influence seemed to diminish recently as Jean-Michel Aulas appointed Juninho Pernambucano as director of football, who went onto appoint Sylvinho to replace Bruno Génésio.
The arrivals of both Jean Lucas and Thiago Mendes only appeared to emphasise who was in charge in the scouting/recruiting these days, which Maurice didn’t appreciate.
L’Equipe reveal that a number of teams have been taking an interest in Maurice, among which are Tottenham and Monaco.
As France continues to produce more and more talent, to see Spurs target a man who has a great record of finding young players Lyon have then sold for huge profits (Ndombele and Ferland Mendy the latest examples) makes a lot of sense.
However, the French newspaper do explain Aulas has no intention of losing his man, and has already decided on giving him a new deal, waiting for the early Brazilian influence to die down.
That, in itself, is already happening, as both Youssouf Koné from Lille and the potential arrival of Joachim Andersen from Sampdoria have come from Maurice’s camp, suggesting a balance will eventually be found down the line.
Tottenham remain interested, but getting the talent finder from Lyon is likely to be a bit more difficult than first anticipated.

West Ham suffer striker blow as Gomez opts for Valencia
Bad news for West Ham.
The striker Manuel Pellegrini really wants, Maxi Gomez, is leaving Celta Vigo.
To go to Valencia.
A number of Spanish reports confirm a deal will be completed either tonight or tomorrow.
He’s joining Los Che for €16million plus striker Santi Mina - and Celta will also land another player on loan.

"Long time rival" *sniggers*
I had no idea they were CAT A before, why would they be?!
While I believe Levy to be a logical, pragmatic and drama-free kind of man - I also believe he would have taken some pleasure in this, knowing Brady and the Porn Dwarves will be frothing at the bit upon hearing...

Indeed. The 'ITK' worship over on SC is laughable. 'No questions to ITKs allowed'. 'No neg repping allowed' etc.
My favourite of this summer so far was Hercules (clearly named due to the strength of his bullsht) saying that Clarke would be coming in and definitely not going back out on loan.
Who was the care in the community case that used to make up little stories about his 'fishing trips'?

He is logical, but also seems to love a test and pity business incompetence.
He must love buying from Lyon as Aulas is in the same league as him.
He probably personally downgraded the caravan club because they are just not worthy

LEYTON ORIENT have rejected a £300,000 offer from Tottenham for sought after centre-back Dan Happe.
The 20-year-old defender is also wanted by Leicester City, Leeds and newly-promoted Norwich.
Happe played an integral role in returning the O's to the Football League last season.
It was his breakthrough campaign in senior football and such impressive performances caught the attention of Champions League finalists Spurs.
An initial offer of £300,000 plus add-ons was rebuffed by Orient who are holding out for a higher fee.

I am extremely happy that we seem to be going back to our old successful tactic of raiding lower league clubs for young talent. I'm sure we must have a few Orient watchers amongst the members of this forum - any opinions on this player?

Used to love Buffon, but he’s turned in to a bit of a tit the last couple of years. That’s a joke league contract right there!!! Imagine City giving that contract to Hart last season and having to play him in title deciders?!?

Surely not comparing hart to buffon. Get s grip pal and stay in the shade.

I think we have always been at our best with a two tier approach.
A steady line of quality players coming in to strengthen us, and also a steady line of "potentials".
Though the wrinkle in things now is the level we are at, even "potentials" need to be really rather good, will be interesting to see how it pans out with the like of Clarke - we need to make a real effort to give the lad games (when he arrives).
