    Who is the best Kudus replacement? This kid sucks. Do the Brits not have quality standards for visa approvals? It would help Spurs not have so many trash foreign players.

    Gapko seems an easy move.

      Visa standards?

      You don’t need visa in the UK, in fact you don’t need any documents.
      Just turn up somewhere on the south coast and you’re golden to stay.

            I've had loads of green arrows in succession over the last 5-6 game weeks

            All pretty much just luck that the choices I made ending up returning.
