Nothing wrong with over paying for someone you think will make a real difference, even Paratici said that. Admittedly that probably doesnt apply to Josh Scowen.

I don’t think you know what overpaying means. The value of something is the amount someone is willing to pay for it (which itself should be linked to the benefit the buyer will get from purchasing).
What am I missing?
The Paratici quote probably explains it best 'if you like a player and think he is important you can pay a little more than the market price because you have to buy this guy. This can only happen if you are convinced of the players skills and potential. If you see a top talent and are sure of him you cannot lose him for a few million. Pay and move on'
Not great using and has a long history of falling out with his players, those who knew him were surprised he hadn't before last season
Can’t do that every time but we’ve exceeded value lots recently so wholeheartedly agree
Grim in here. No real links that improve us the same people who claim to hate the ITK general talking endlessly about him. Ah well thank goodness for Persic Richarlison and Bissouma.
Ruslan improves us. It’s just the same low IQ morons in here complaining. If he don’t sign anybody else I wouldn’t be fussed. We already made 6 immediate signings that improve us. Signing depth player players that also could start is way better than last season.
The window is open for like another week. The rumors are going to heat up. Some people are just to impatient and just want to shit on the club.
Got a feeling we’ll be randomly link with a player out of the blue and it will be done quickly. They’re obviously working on somethings as we are being linked with loads of players again after a few weeks of quiet.
Our current squad is good enough to make top 4 and win a cup. But we could and should sign a couple players. I still don’t rate our right wing backs and feel like we could sign another attacker.
Can you name a Right Wing back who is better than all three current options who is likely to be available this window though? Because I can’t.
Di Lorenzo, Baku, Lazzari. Top of my head.
not quite what they are looking for means bigger targets not available
8 days to go.
Agent says Mourinho wanted Artem Dzyuba as Harry Kane replacement at Tottenham
Premier League transfer news - Jose Mourinho wanted Zenit St Petersburg legend Artem Dzyuba at Tottenham Hotspur as Kane replacement.
Jose Mourinho wanted to sign Russia international Artem Dzyuba as a replacement for Harry Kane at Premier League giants Tottenham Hotspur, the striker’s agent Leonid Goldman tells Sport24.
With Kane ruled out for the long-term with a serious hamstring injury, Spurs went into the 2020 January transfer window desperate to bring in a new number nine.
Chelsea had no intention of allowing to Olivier Giroud join a London rival, however. Real Sociedad did not let Willian Jose go either. And Spurs ran into yet more problems when they tried to lure the colossal Dzyuba to England, with Zenit St Petersburg refusing to let their talismanic centre-forward leave midway through their title defence.
“Early January, I flew away on New Year’s Eve. Lying on the beach, (I received) a call from colleagues from the (Jorge) Mendes agency in Portugal,” explains Goldman.
Iberian super-agent Mendes, Goldman adds, was speaking on behalf of his client, the then-Spurs coach Jose Mourinho.
“(They said); ‘Kane is broken. Mourinho wants to buy a replacement – Dziuba’. I called Artem. He did not even believe at first. I said: ‘Everything is extremely serious, go talk to Zenit.’
“The club immediately made it clear that they would not let go of their leader in the middle of the season, so there was no specific documented offer. But the story of Tottenham’s interest is a billion per cent true.”
Dzyuba, of course, would have been the very definition of a short-term, quick fix. He did score 21 goals in Zenit colours that season, however. Who knows whether Dzyuba would have helped make up the six-point gap separating Tottenham from the Champions League places at the end of that season.
“When Harry Kane got injured at Tottenham, people contacted me,” Dzyuba himself told Russia24 at the time.
“Zenit said no. And that’s all. If Tottenham really wanted to sign me then I think they would have been more insistent. That said, the interest was real.”
Dzyuba, now 31, joined Turkish outfit Adana Demirspor earlier this month.
Pedro Porro. Sergino Dest. Joakim Maelhe. Nahuel Molina. To name only a few. There are so many wing backs available that are better than Emerson.
Yeah I'm bitterly jealous of bottom of the table West Ham because they've been linked to some flaky Ligue 1 midfielder, those are always incredible in the Premier League. I'm sure he'll love playing Moyes ball.
