I think we are getting someone other than Lenglet but I have absolutely no clue. There’s so many leads and so many names linked that I couldn’t guess until he’s holding the shirt

I'll never, ever understand why fans baulk at the price tag.For those balking at the 60m price tag (though I'm not sure if that's euros, pounds with add ons included, etc) just remember that the blue scousers spunked £50m to buy him in the first place.

Given that he's not depreciated (Tanguy says hello) and prices are even crazier now than 2018, it's not an insane price.
Raphinha for £65m is crazier IMO.
Complain that we're not treated by the media as a big club, then complain again when we finally start acting like one.
Jeez!
Well yeah, he does now he's 35. Lenglet has only just turned 27, he shouldn't be getting done for speed (and positioning) by players who themselves aren't exactly Usain Bolt
They also paid £45m for Siggurdson whose contract ends on June 30.For those balking at the 60m price tag (though I'm not sure if that's euros, pounds with add ons included, etc) just remember that the blue scousers spunked £50m to buy him in the first place.

I think we'd be missing the point, if we look at how excited we get by the individual players we're linked with. The important thing is whether they would fit into Conte's system and they are all arguably better than what we have. The sum is always bigger than its parts and nowhere does that hold more true than in a Conte team.
Without preseason and limited options off the bench, in the final third of the season when the team really hit its stride, we amassed the 3rd most points by a very slim margin from first and second, with the 2nd best attack and 2nd best defense. Now add 3-4 improvements to the starting lineup, depth, and a full preseason, and not only should we able to replicate our performance in the final third of last season, but even surpass it. Which would put us in a very good place indeed.

Yep have to think Conte/Paratici doens't see a huge difference between Torres/Lenglet so if we can't get out top 2 options this summer, we don't want to make a long term commitment further down the list.
If we get Bremer, Dier could cover LCB spot if needed too.
FFS that is uncanny. Time to hound Davies out of the club
🎙 @FabrizioRomano to @SOSFanta (sosfanta part of gazetto della sport )
: “Bremer in hand since January, new contacts this week between clubs. Skriniar is expected to be defined: to me it is PSG (not other teams), which pushes a lot, with times that are a little slow in doing everything. PSG's intention is to relaunch. "
Fook dont look good regarding Bremer
People has this exact attitude when we over paid for TND, GLC, Sessegnon, Sanchez, Aurrier, and I'm sure there's more. If we signed Richarlison on a 5 year deal he'd be 30 at the end of it. Brazillians aren't known to be great into their 30s. If he's not absolutely brilliant, we will have wasted precious money on a player we have no use for and are unable to move on. Again.
Actually, as a footballer, I think he's ok. I think our difference of opinion is more to do with his "shithousery" - I think you'll be very much let down with the reality.
I wasn't talking to you so go fuck your own face.
Don't like me? Put me on ignore. Reply one more time with another post like that and that's where you'll go.
He hasn't performed for Barcelona though. People here are getting their dicks in a twist about a loan for Lengelet who was, by all accounts, decent before he went there.
He wasn't.
Soldado - £26millionI'll never, ever understand why fans baulk at the price tag.
Complain that we're not treated by the media as a big club, then complain again when we finally start acting like one.
Jeez!
Llorente - £11million
Janssen - £17million
Or just buy one prem proven player who can rotate with the front three and stay for 5/6 years?
Tottenham want Ake with Manchester City open to offers
Tottenham Hotspur are one of the Premier League sides interested in signing Nathan Ake from Manchester City.
Tottenham Hotspur want Nathan Ake with Manchester City open to letting the defender leave the club during the summer transfer window, according to a report from 90min.
Ake has never quite been able to establish himself as a regular starter for Pep Guardiola’s side. But the City boss is a fan of the Dutchman.
Nevertheless, the Cityzens are open to selling the 27-year-old for the right offer. And there are a number of Premier League sides interested in signing the centre-back
90min reports that Tottenham want Ake. Meanwhile, they face competition from the likes of West Ham and Newcastle United for the £41 million defender.
It is noted that City still want a considerable sum for Ake – though some of his top-flight admirers want to take him on loan.
There is certainly no shame in not being a regular starter for City. And Ake is a player with a lot of quality.
Virgil van Dijk previously labelled his countryman ‘fantastic‘. And he is someone City paid more than £40 million to sign just two years ago.
Tottenham are still looking to sign a left-sided centre-back. They have, so far, had no luck with the likes of Alessandro Bastoni or Josko Gvardiol.
Ake would fill the void. He is excellent in possession, as you would expect from a centre-back in Guardiola’s squad. And you would imagine that he would be well suited to playing alongside Cristian Romero and Eric Dier in a back three.
Much may depend on how much City actually want for Ake. Reports have previously suggested that his asking price could be £50 million.
And Spurs are hoping to close the gap to them this year, which may impact the price. But he could certainly be a very smart signing if there is a deal to be done.

Surprised they didn't cancel his contract under misconduct terms tbh.Mitigating circumstances on that one.
So far excellent..... The rest; I shan't rank what hasn't happened yet on the basis on a few sketchy links.
As i've already noted lack of worthwhile RBs is a bummer, but it's slim pickings and peeps need to suck it up rather than spending all season moaning about it.
As for CBs.... We've been linked with about a dozen; so why get hung up on the one you don't fancy?

Informative. Thanks. So we probably have a 100 mil or so left from uncle Joe. 50-60 for Richarlison. Leaves another 50 plus sales. Raphinha would be nice....
