Farmers league. About as prestigious as Holland nowadaysI don’t remember the last time a top Italian player left Italy, it’s almost unheard of, it was always going to be tough to persuade him. Why would he want to leave Inter? He already has CL football and the possibility of trophies and he gets to play in his home country for his boyhood club. Unless he is forced out he has no reason to leave.
Seems that want to move him on to get Bremer in as well as us wanting him.I don’t remember the last time a top Italian player left Italy, it’s almost unheard of, it was always going to be tough to persuade him.

Verratti?I don’t remember the last time a top Italian player left Italy, it’s almost unheard of, it was always going to be tough to persuade him. Why would he want to leave Inter?

He's talented, but not yet at the stage in his development to come in and play to the level we'd want imoNathan A Clarke was talking about this guy on twitter last night
You’re going to get relegated at first time of trying moron.No disrespect to Tottenham - European Super League royalty, best stadium in England without an NG postcode, chicken badge, etc - but if Djed has a choice between Spurs and Forest I suspect he’s going to choose the latter.
He comes across as quite an introverted character despite appearances. He was alienated at Middlesbrough and said that he just wanted to go somewhere where he could enjoy his football again. He’s repeatedly said that he loves it at Forest, where he can truly develop his talent. Cooper is a top coach for young players and has built an amazing team spirit. Our style of play suits him. And Djed’s Mum also loves Forest and led our pitch invasion. So all signs are that he’d stay with us rather than sit on your bench and that would be the right thing for his career, IMO.
Basically, what I am saying is:
Warnock gave us Spence and said ‘he’s shite, he’s shite’,
Warnock gave us Spence and said ‘he’s shite, he’s shite’,
Colin thought that Spence was shite,
But now he’s f**king dynamite,
And we all love Djed Spence down at the City Ground!

Football Insider are literal frauds.
Regardless, no way would West Ham offer us one of their better players.
levy accepted a lesser offer for Modric from Madrid so he couldnt join ChavskiUnlikely Wham would offer us one of their players - but if that had been a genuine major falling out he'd be told to find another club, and if we offered a better deal than other clubs for his services, Wham would accept ours as its business not personality driven
Trial ffsYes 2 proven PL players for £30M. That is smart biz. Not sure we haven’t wrapped up eriksen yet. YB just need to wait on his trial then depending on that get him if ok.
This leaves plenty in the pot for other additions plus the money raised from sales. These would break wage structure either. If we had perisic, YB and ericksen in the bag that improves already to another level. Even without other signings.
Like I said this should be a no brainier for us. Smart transfer activity like we use to do.
I'd say CB is the biggest need. If Davies or Dier are out, we are looking at an out-of-position Tanganga or Sanchez as cover. We had a really bad spell when Dier was injured this season, so it's essential we get good players in these positions.Most people would say RWB is the most pressing need. Personally, I have more faith in Doherty than most, I think CM is a bigger issue.
So at the very least we need a world class(ish) CM and RWB.
