If we do get new owners they’re going to be made up with selling off the family silver.

Hope we’ve got proper top-ups in there, know as he’s 15 and with our admin, we would never get much up front, but hope Spurs have been fair with add-ons. As for Alfie, great move, hope he proves good enough and doesn’t get lost in their set-up and fall by the wayside
