On loan it’s a good move, shame they don’t sign him because it would be a nice waste of money.

Thankfully, Spurs do not have an attack that can make them a threat. Richardson, Solanke and Kudus is bang average.

Getting kind of worried by them again…
Frank is going to make them solid and hard to beat and Palhinha seems like exactly that type of signing.
I can’t see him really raising their ceiling for the same reasons he quickly failed at Bayern though.
I’ll be surprised if they take up that option given he’ll be 31 by then. Lot of money for a DM at that age.
Weird that Bayern would sanction it, not like spurs will actually sign him next year.
Thought they’d push for an obligation, that structure is a really good deal for spurs as I said the other day.
Bayern do have a knack for offering ridiculous wages, wouldn’t be shocked if he’s on substantial wages there.
Getting his wages off their wage bill might be good enough for them.
I think Palhinha must’ve been picky with where he goes too. Spurs offer him a good platform to get back on track. He’ll probably a guaranteed starter and will get to play in both the PL and CL.
This is the most West Ham signing in recent years.

He ticks every box for their owners.
Old 
PL player
Cheap
Injury prone
No other club interested
Welcome to the West Ham, where success is avoiding relegation.

True. Frank will use him well but, as powderfinger noted, he’s not going to make that much difference to them. Might help pull them up to finish around ninth or tenth next season.
If we hand’t just bought Zubimendi I’d be very intrigued here. I’d be a little worried about how he holds up physically in the PL but there aren’t that many players in world football with this DM/DLP profile right now. At 30m euro he’d be a really good punt for somebody. Classy ballplayer who isn’t afraid to put in a tackle and only 21.

United screaming out for that profile.
Gonna run it back with Casemiro, Bruno, Ugarte and Kobbie though lol
Barca are such a mess

Can’t argue with any of this, but also…
I think he’s a good signing for them. If he manages half a season he’ll probably do better than anyone else they can attract.

Would be a nice purchase for anyone who bothers, especially at that price
You’d think West Ham would have given Potter some sort of guarantee about spending when he went there.
Also, why does Bowen stay at such an such an ambitious club?
Liverpool getting big money for both Nunez and Diaz

Does this all tie back to Isak? The Newcastle owners giving Liverpool money just to get it back again
EDIT: I’m not the only person to make that link

corrupted as fuck.
Not sure why they would essentially help Liverpool buy isak cheaper by overpaying from another club for Nunez if they were pissed off from that previous bid though.
