Might start paying attention to LAFC again. At least he's not as knacked as Messi. Great player.

And yet the league still refuses to budge from a streaming paywall and a stupid “all games on at the same time Saturday night” schedule insuring we never bother to see said talent. I’m willing to be an MLS fan, but the league doesn’t want me. I’ll stick to English Football, thanks.

You get ANYTHING for free? MLS is an inferior product that’s more expensive and difficult to access and enjoy. No thanks.

Isn't English football behind a paywall on Peacock? And dont they play a majority of their games at the same time on Saturday morning? MLS generally has three Saturday windows and at least one if not two Sunday matches at different times.

PL is on USA, Telemundo, Peacock, NBC. It’s all over. There are games Saturday morning and afternoons, Sunday mornings and afternoons, Mondays and Wednesdays.

Son is a class act and an incredible player. Huge loss for the Spurs.

Spurs fans don't consider it a loss. He gave us 10 years of his best and a european trophy. He's 33 years old... ready collect some cash. So good for him. And we get £20m in the process.

I am a Spurs fan and I consider it a loss. Levy won't spend that 20M wisely.

I really like Son. Sadly, he’s leaving Tottenham. I’d love to see him at another European club — maybe Napoli. But for now, all we can do is accept it and wish him luck.

Levy absolutely fleecing the buying club as always. Even as a rival fan you have to say fair play!

As a Spurs supporter who goes back to the glory days of Jimmy Greaves et al., in my view, Son is one of Spurs' greatest ever players. I wish him well at LAFC.

I am all excited about it as a LAFC. I wish Giroud would have worked out but Son still has juice left in his legs. We now just need to solidify our back line.

Love seeing world-class players come to the US instead of helping the Saudi government sports-wash itself (looking at you, Ronaldo). Of course, we also need to fight to make sure the US doesn't end up a Saudi-style autocracy...
