So from Ali G's latest vid it appears:
- We plan to make a move for Vlahovic
- Romero is done
- Tomiyasu is expected to join post Olympics (Japan are out now)
Add Gollini and Gil to that group and that is a very impressive collection of young talent. This also assumes Kane stays.
I'm surprised that:
- we are not linked with any midfielders - arguably was as much of a problem as the centre backs last year. I guess Levy is banking on Ndombele and GLC performing and Skipp having a big impact. If all of those things happen we are probably fine.
- We are not linked to any attacking RB's. I guess the plan is for Tomiyasu to be first choice as lopsided RB or in a back 3 and then trust Doherty as our attacking option. Not ideal as I think he'd be our weakest 'first XI' player if all expected deals go through. I imagine a top quality RB is a priority for future windows.

HERE WE GOOOO
finally some great news. Romero is a top top get.
If Kane stays Romero, Gil and Vlahovic isn’t bad. If however Kane leaves we need another striker and to use the money to upgrade midfield, another RB and another CB at least.
Tottenham are in preliminary talks with Wolves about signing Conor Coady, with Spurs boss Nuno Espirito Santo keen to be reunited with the 28-year-old England defender in north London. (Football Insider)
Getting a transfer fee for an old backup GK signed on a free a year ago is pretty amazing.
would be very happy with Conor Coady and Romero as our centre backs
A lot of people who keep pedalling this would look utterly idiotic if it went tits up
haven’t watched enough of Coady despite seeing a good number of Wolves games. What are his strengths and maybe weaknesses?
Hard to be ecstatic at the Romero news. Good for the club given the chasm at centreback.
But the Kane thing has me flat as a pancake. Top 10 in the money list of wealthiest clubs, comparatively to the rest of Europe have spent a fortune on transfers the last 5-10 years... Yet can't compete with oil money and one of our own can't see success at anywhere but at Chequebook FC.

The problem is he is going to cost us a shit ton of money. An English player moving from one PL club to another is never cheap. Also, he's 28 - we can't build a team up around him

Just a very good and organised captain material of a defender. Would be fantastic to pair him with Romero and would be the prem experienced partner he needs. Fuck Dier and Sanchez, pair of clowns.
