Two big games, two big transfer stories, coincidence?


TRANSFER TALK


Just before the FA Cup semi-final against Chelsea, false stories emerged from one of Antonio Conte's friends, the highly unreliable Sky Sports Italy reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, that Toby Alderweireld had asked to leave Tottenham. Alderweireld told everyone he was happy at purs and 100% here.

Now before another big game we have stories emerging about Kyle Walker with now the Sun inventing a £50 million price tag and suggesting we have told Manchester City that is what he will cost. Strange that it is the same figure the press invented for Danny Rose, lazy lot our press.

Mauricio Pochettino has made it clear nobody who is wanted at White Hart Lane will be sold this summer so there is no way we will have suggested he is by giving another side a price and in any case we wouldn't sell him to a Premier League club.

Funny how these things emerge right before big games isn't it, rather predictable our press and that predictability shows the stories are media invention.
