Does make sense to be fair. I'd be questioning them too if they would sell Gordon.

I think you are getting it wrong. If he is looking at LCB and has 3 options, he goes into negotiations with each club. Each player has a value that Paratici will accept. I’m sure it is a little more complicated but that’s the general idea.I know people talk about the "Way Paratici operates" negotiates several deals at once then pulls the trigger. That's a bit weird though isn't it? it would suggest he enters in to some negotiations without any intention of doing a deal? Surely the club player in question, let's say Torres/Villerreal in this instance would be fairly fucked off by being used like that no?
or am I getting it all wrong?
No one cares what Woolwich are bidding. All the players they buy are shit. Martinez is a midget who plays center back.Woolwich bidding 40m for Lisandro Martinez.
Thats 110m before you even consider Raphina. They sound like the club who've had 150m injected.

Once again, as with the viera kid and Tielemans, they're one of the clubs who desperately need to avoid buying weak/small players but they're doubling down.No one cares what Woolwich are bidding. All the players they buy are shit. Martinez is a midget who plays center back.
They spend 200 mil every summer and do fuck all.
If there was a guarantee that plan A would materialize next summer, yes. But Bastoni may very well still be home-sick and if Gvardiol keeps on improving he'll be out of Spur's price range (he already is anyway). I doubt that Conte will be up for such waiting games: he wants success, and he wants it now.However, as another poster said, if Ndicka et al are plan B signings, might as well get someone in on loan instead for this year (Lenglet) and go for our plan A next summer.
Of course at the price Ndicka is supposedly available for (20m), it's probably a low risk, so we need to be sure we can move him on next summer, if we are able to get our plan A target. That's where it becomes tricky.

People who are scared of Woolwich should be banned and shunned. It’s so pathetic to be bending over for the shit that plays there.Fuck Woolwich, sick of reading about them in this thread, go and be jealous of their soaking wet, lightweight signings somewhere else

I read somewhere that allegedly Conte doesn't think young Italian or Spanish players should leave their home country before the age of about 23-24. For reasons of "emotional maturity".When speaking in an exclusive interview with the ECHO back in January, Gordon – reflecting on past links with a transfer to Bayern Munich – spelled out his own thoughts on his Blues future in crystal clear terms, saying: “I’ve never wanted to leave Everton. It’s my home, I’m a Scouser and a home bird as well.
“The thought of leaving home scares me. It probably wasn’t for me and I never really considered it.”

Or is it that he lets the media believe he is negotiating for several players at the same time, reducing the risk of others outbidding us etc as no one has any genuine idea of who he is actually negotiating for...?I know people talk about the "Way Paratici operates" negotiates several deals at once then pulls the trigger.

Big difference between "wants to score goals" and "scores goals"
Except the box thats says Tottenham can never ever ever buy anymore players from france that start with an ' N ' followed by a consonant!!!

It is like having an A, B and C option but discussing all 3 at once instead of waiting forever to see if option A works out like United seem to be doing with De Jong.
