Cut-price Frenchman touted for move

|

Only a fortnight ago, my colleague Mitch Tapner reported Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Borussia Monchengladbach’s 25-year-old French forward Marcus Thuram, who is of course currently on international duty in the Qatar World Cup with Les Blues as I write.

You can read about that initial interest here, and the article contains a fair bit of detail on the player and what he brings to the table.

Indeed, Ignazio Genuardi is determined to prove that Mitch’s reporting of Spurs’ interest in Thuram is no flash in the pan. The French journalist reports that his status as a free agent in the summer has made Spurs emerge as a candidate for the Frenchman’s signature in the winter at a cut-price fee:

Translated from French, Genuardi’s words sound something like this:

Courted by a slew of European formations, M. #Thuram could wait until next summer to pack his bags, but a surprise cannot be ruled out this winter. According to some indiscretions, #Tottenham could give it a try in January. #Mercato

Indeed, Thuram himself has previously stated that he would prefer to see out the remainder of the domestic campaign at his current club Borussia Monchengladbach, but a footballer’s words in such situations are often as reliable as a ruler made out of rubber – one minute they’re kissing and slobbering the badge over scoring a goal, the next minute they’re signing on the dotted line of your arch-nemesis. We Spurs fans know that feeling all too well don’t we?

    So lonely, so lonely waiting for compay here. Like sitting in an empry pub that isn’t getting any brew delivered because they cannot pay the bills. It’s like the life of a monk in his cell to spend time on this site these lonely days.

    Mitch, Omar, be well. Where will you be headed next? Where did Ox go? and that Danny Winter fellow whose heart was with Spam?

    Is there a VS if no one shows up. Is the work of mitch and omar like the tree that falls with no one to hear it? Bloody silence even though the molecules vibrate through the air, but molecules alone do not constitute a sound. Silence, the holy silence of the monestary at mandatory prayer time. Not a mouse could be heard and no Santa will come down the chimney.

    Maybe he will come on a free transfer from the North Pole–with his little red nosed buddy leading the high line.
