Hard to say what really happened, but the speed at which he picked Liverpool over us is quite telling. Gives the impression that he was just using Spurs as a means to get into the EPL.
Catch 22 though.
Not sure how we overcome such things
They are a bigger club, they are also 2nd in the PL and have a fantastic manager.
There are some occasions when I might say it's 100% us but if all true here what can we realistically do?
And Conte having been at Chelsea would understand if not like it.
If rumours are correct and Diaz wants Liverpool but is going for 37.5, and Traore goes to Barca on loan, then probably the issue’s the other clubs, not the money ENIC are offering? (And who would pay 30m for Traore? really?)
We’ve seen from Kane’s antics that elite footballers are clearly a shallow lot, interested in trinkets more than building clubs and genuinely enjoying the battle on the pitch.
Perhaps the only way is to go full mercenary like earth Shitty days and pay crazy wages - but with the mess that Tanguy has created, I’d be amazed if we do that.
Bit of a rock and a hard place.
Certainly makes me think less of footballers: personally, I’d go to the nicest environment - best training ground, best stadium, best city (ie, not Dippers or Newcastle).
Oh, well - it’s a few years until the Prem is a two/ three team league like Spain and Italy.

Another fuck up .
You can't blame Paratici for Diaz choosing Liverpool over us.
But does he has back up options that are quality?
Or did we have all our eggs in one basket towards the end of the window?

Doesn’t seem to be the money, but the club.
We’re going to have to rely on Conte rejuvenating older players, aren’t we?
Catch-22 - could probably appeal more in CL, but probably need a couple of reinforcements to get into CL.
Arse.
What if he’s a ‘golden egg’ a la prime Dembele or Kante?
(I mean, he’s not, but…)
Hope he gets injured. Wanker.
Can anyone remember who the last signing was that was genuinely excited to play for the club? Reggie is the only recent one that comes to mind for me
Has he chosen Liverpool? Or had David Ornstein said it. May well be true but Ornstein has about as many contacts in football as that potato in the cupboard that you forget about until one day you find it’s spawned 4 new potatoes.
Every morning I wake up early for work see the bad news and know this is the calm before the storm as another meltdown is about to ensue on this thread....and rightly so
Feels a bit like Mane all over again. Although then we were finishing above them and had champions league football, they just offered more wages. I expect now it will be Amrabat and someone like Morota both on loan with maybe a Djed Spence signed to join us in the summer. None will be good enough for the first team. Its just to look like we',re doing something.
I just think us or Liverpool for most players and it's Liverpool.
I am all for criticism if it's justified.
The key is to not put all eggs in one basket and if we did actually want the bloke it does at least suggest we are veering back towards quality signings.
We need to be securing the signings of up and coming players as best we can for now I feel.
Ornstein is very very reliable.
Or you could act quickly, offer something acceptable and either get the deal done or at least so far down the line the player is committed.
