Hold on, where's Big MacDombele? :/
Until we start seeing real Eze links, I don't think he's in play.
Udogie is highly fancied...... We're not gonna kick him down the pecking order before he's played a single minute for us!
Davies is perfectly adequate as #2.... Especially as he won't be required to fly up and down the wing all game.
We could sell Sess, Reg & Perisic and still have more pressing things to do in the trf window than buying a new LB just in case our new one bombs.
He can be pissed off all he likes but as we have seen with Raya, and even here ith Kane, if the club doesn't want to sell or sell for less than they feel is fair value then no amount of tantrums will make a difference.
Yes with Maddison it's more likely Leicester will probably let him go much later in the window, but its no guarantee.
Reguilon ?
John, my man, I get where you're coming from, trust me I do. And yeah, knowing Levy & the gang, the truth probably is that we're mainly going after him cause he's cheaper than Raya.You've just gotta love the mental gymnastics going on in this thread.
This Vicario chap who nobody had heard of a couple of days ago. He is what he is, guys.
The Cheaper option. The Poundland alternative. Levy's Booby prize..... .whatever
Why try and convince yourselves otherwise
But the kid is still a talent. I watch a fair bit of Serie A and after Maignan & Onana, he's my favorite keep to watch cause he's often spectacular.
None of us know how his Spurs career gonna go, and yeah, plenty reasons to be cautious...but on paper we could've defo picked worse.
Had we signed Lafont or Biljow, I'd have been pissed off. But I think that kid deserves a real chance. Heck, I'd rather he than friggin Pickford. If he turns out to be a bust, so be it.
I also think Brentford were being friggin ridiculous asking for 40mil for Raya. No way he's worth that, especially with a year left on his contract. So I'm fine with us not getting fleeced (again) and moving on.
COYS
Yet to see anyone make a case that Raya is actually a better GK than Vicario.
The entire complaint is that he's more expensive so must be better.
IIRC Sporting still wanted 65m for BF..... Which simply wasn't viable for us having already just bought Ndombele & GLC........ Maybe if we'd managed to shift Eriksen in that same window, but was not to be.
There were very tenuous links .
Player like that you'd need to keep as quiet as possible. Gazumpers are out there
Lafont is trash. Fiorentina fan here speaking.
Tosin watched vs us and a couple other games. Liked him but never considered him a target until the links. Now makes sense to me.
Hatate - 1 Celtic game
Caqueret - never seen in my life.
Tapsoba saw a couple games in Europe.
Why?
What do you see that's similar to the Leeds keeper?
Not a GK specialist. Just seen the stats, HLs and player reviews, then added in the fact he's 6'4" and meant to be an intimidating bastard and I'm sold.
Big time football analysis guy, you see.
No need for that kinda serious talk!
This is a transfer thread! Muppets assemble

Aren't they in a bit of a finacial pickle? Which must hurt them even more now in the championship.

At least you're being a twat in the football section, not just the off-topic. That's nice for you.
That’s Spanish. Tchauzinho.
