Which we are not getting in one transfer window and nobody with any sense thought we’d be getting everything in January.
1 or 2 now and rest in the summer would be good

Which we are not getting in one transfer window and nobody with any sense thought we’d be getting everything in January.
I’m beginning to think you fancy me JT, you’re following me around like a 16 year old.
I take it the club weren’t deterred by the youtube video of Bentancur giving the ball away?
Yes been saying this for ages. Get those two in and they are not only much better than what we have in those positions but go straight into starting 11. Further they both have EPL experience and have played to a good level. Whereas the 2 from seem like their rejects who they can’t wait to get rid off and can’t believe their luck we have come in for them. This is just a desperate move by DOF however all his doing is going back to his old club. Does he not scout all over the world for players. This is lazy, desperate, illogical and a waste of money. That Ben cannot be better than Harvey white. I’d rather he be given a go. Unless you get a real upgrade on what we have already and some one different. Otherwise we have 4 CMs all the same type and level.if it was me i would double deal on bissouma and lamptey at least they improve us massively
one homegrown too
Not really, only ever heard Berbatov himself mention Valencia and Bayern Munich, but I think he felt some loyalty to Leverkusen, wanted to play in the Premier League, Spurs were actively interested the longest and he liked BMJ.
or we get both?
Yep! Those moaning about wolves not selling to us, why not? Offer the money and test them. Loads of players going to toon. Sell players we don’t want plus add extra and get these two proper epl players of proven quality not crap players from your old mates. Surely someone at the club must be questioning Patricia’s moves and motives. It stinks.I’d prefer no one than spunking our budget on sub-par players too.
If we aren’t getting traction with who we want, we need to use the loan market more astutely and reassess in the summer.
I swear to god if we can’t get Neves or Bissouma because we spent money on these clowns we need our head examined.
or we get both?
Think we need 5 cm's. Losing Ndombele, Dele and Lo celso will leave us short even with Bentancur.
The Erikson role then.So what exactly is his best position in the team?
"From the beginning, my role was a trequartista (central playmaker behind the striker)," explained Kulusevski, as reported by UEFA's official website in January 2020.
"I can be a winger, last season I was a mezzala [on the side in a three-man midfield], so I can play wherever the coach wants, but I see myself as a trequartista behind the strikers."

Hmmm interesting.
I love the fact that Gil always wants the ball. Skipp was too lightweight a year or so ago, good training sorts that.Out of all the signings we’ve made over the last few years I don’t get how Gil is the one people get hung up about.
Lamela was getting into his twilight years, and the years of injuries were going to catch up with him sooner rather than later. I love the guy but let’s not pretend that he was a 50mil player. For once you could argue that we capitalised on his value rather than being stuck with a guy we can’t move.
Gill is still a diamond in the rough, it’s clear he’s talented. He needs to adapt to the league, but at the same time he’s still very young.
He’s exactly the type of player that people would be melting over if other teams signed him.
Yes he didn’t address other more pressing needs, but let’s not pretend that Gill was a waste of money. Give the guy some time.
He’s only had a few cameos but he does play with a tenacity that many others don’t, similar to how lamela played.I love the fact that Gil always wants the ball. Skipp was too lightweight a year or so ago, good training sorts that.
Some 'ITK' from Hotspur88, perhaps....
It's going to be a crazy 48 hours!
Just enjoy the ride!
Genuinely still think 3 in. I wouldn't even rule a 4th out if we manage to shift out Gil, Lo Celso, Ndombele, Dele & Rodon.
Lyon as already mentioned want Ndombele. Gil is 99% done on loan. Lo Celso has options as does Dele. Rodon may also leave with a few interested.
Some names we're talking to still not out there so expect more new names over the next 48 hours.
Juve double looking very likely but there are other options we are exploring for CM so don't rule out 2 x CMs coming in. Especially if we manage to clear a few mentioned above.
Let me say it again, Conte understands the situation. The Summer is huge for us with so many good players out of contract or entering the final year.
The next 48 hours will be busy, but the Summer is going to be madness.
New players will arrive over the next 48 hours so don't think it's a repeat of history and we end up with no one.
Of all the names I've heard, there are literally 2 I would be against joining us and as it stands, they're both down the list and we won't need to drop that low.
