Levy ain't dumb and all this seems wrongCan’t believe they’ve shelled out so much cash and had zero interest in any of our for-sale players.

I'm ok with that.Conte in his press conference didn’t exactly sound like he was desperate for more signings. Maybe we are done after all?

Not spurs related but what the fuck????? This is a scheme. There’s no way
After watching Malinovskyi's left foot bangers and his wife's IG....Conte in his press conference didn’t exactly sound like he was desperate for more signings. Maybe we are done after all?
It's all Greek to me.....Was the fact he is Greek important here?
The media take on it, is that will buy again.I think we might need another attacker
1) but he hasn’t missed time due to suspensions. So you expect that to increase but his injury rate to be the same? Just as likely chance his injury rate decreases.
2) He’s played 24 of 40 PL games. So 66% available. Not great for sure but had a big hamstring problem last season and the Covid stuff too. He’s set to miss 1 game now and ppl are freaking out.
3) How are we going to bide our time? The option to buy has to happen this window as his loan will expire.
We’d be the laughingstock of the league if we didn’t sign him. Chelsea or United would drop 50m without thinking twice.
We have to make the buy decision before the end of this window. So you are saying no?He missed 16 PL games.
We also have Champions league football (min 6 games)
We also have FA Cup
We also have league cup
If you overlay 16 Premier League games he missed in that 80 day period, he missed 2 FA Cup games, 3 league cup games, 2 Europa league games (would have been 3 if we played our final game)
He's off to a flier this season, having played 2 games and now likely to miss our next 5, maybe 6 games.
We have to keep an eye on this and any here who can't see this is out of the their mind.
If we have any way of delaying making this permanent then we have to use it to make the right decision.
If we don't, if we rush into it, we could be here in a years time moaning about how we have a £40m player we can't get rid of and possibly can't afford to replace who is never available.
Do we?We have to make the buy decision before the end of this window. So you are saying no?
Forests shady looking Greek owner is totally not laundering money thru transfers. Not at all.
Exactly. No one knows. Not only about Romero, but about any player. If you can find me a player - at any price - that never gets injured and is as good as Cuti, please let me know.Do we?
Does anyone really know?
with absolute certainty
Oh dear, I am not an English teacher (and neither is ITV Hercules) but "possibly not" and "that's for sure" seem a bit contradictory in Hercules' response
ITV = In The Vagueness
Hercules:
To say nothing is in it is way off. But nothing imminent, and possibly not, that’s for sure. But we have investigated.
I mean does anyone know what the terms of the loan to buy deal are.Exactly. No one knows. Not only about Romero, but about any player. If you can find me a player - at any price - that never gets injured and is as good as Cuti, please let me know.
His loan is until this summer. It’s not an 18 month loan like Kulusevski who was bought in January.Do we?

You do realise that Leicester want £80m+ for Fofana, who is similarly talented, less beast more agile, but still.I mean does anyone know what the terms of the loan to buy deal are.
I'd rather let him go and spend that money on another punt if the medical team have any indication something isn't right here.
As for finding a player who we know isn't injury prone, perhaps start by looking for some one with more games behind them.
In his first season in Argentina -15 games
2nd season - 4 games
1st season in Italy - 27
33
42
121 games in total in 6 season. Cards on the table, I don't have evidence, it just feels low to me. He's a part of the spine and we can't afford to mess this up. I have a concern that may take years for me to rid myself of.
