Willing to bet it won’t be Tapsoba. As soon as Maddison got done, that was the big splash of the window.

But VdV, Tosin, Lenglet, Romero makes a lot of sense.

Could see Tosin keeping Romero out the team if he goes to far on Argentina train

I don't think the club would fly VdV, his father, and his agent into London if they weren't intent on signing him. VdV has already been chosen, what happens with Tapsoba we shall see

what's the price point you would do the deal at?

He maybe hasn't set the world alight but he is underrated IMO and could break out for us.

I wouldn't go higher than 15 mil...and that's incl bonuses. Ideally, a swap type deal with Tangs or Rodon + Sess going the other way.

How many times have you watched him...honestly? This ain't a dig, my man...just curious. So many on here (and other platforms) talking about Taps, VdV and Tosin being good/great/underrated etc when all they've seen are YT highies or the odd game or read threads on Twitter.

Personally, I don't care about market rates and that bs premium tax on HG. He's 25, not a regular starter for Fulham, nowhere near the top 20 CB in the PL, no senior England cap and could still elect to play for Nigeria meaning awol for a month whenever AFCON comes round. In my books that ain't worth 20 mil, especially not when we must sign 2 proper good CB. May as well keep Tangs/Rods, save ourselves 20 mil and the higher wages he'd likely commend.

Prof on Coys re Tapsoba and Vdv:

Much movement took place over the weekend. We'd like both. Whether we can get both is another question. No point in delaying option 2 while we're waiting to see if the price for option 1 can be brought down to our ceiling. If it can, we'll be thrilled. If not, we move on to option 3. As I've posted before, for many positions identified as needs Ange believes (rightly or wrongly) that he can coach up options 2-4 or 2-5 to be as good as option 1. Whether the results match that level of confidence remains to be seen.

As I'm hearing it tbh. Tapsoba is the primary but they aren't really shifting on the fee as yet.

Please relax. Another center back will be added after this. We are working in agreement with AP on his priority signings. So refresh to have a manager who is working with you, and not throwing dummies out the pram.

CB won't drag on.

Club completely understand the importance of defensive reinforcement/s being on the plane.

I imagine we will see significant progress on a CB this coming week.

Anyone can come up with this shit. The first one sounds like the only one not made up. Plus it isn’t from SC so…

So close to signing VDV and hearing about how incredible he is from the Celtic & Empoli fans who inexplicably have a nan who supports Wolfsburg. And they’re armed with .. you guessed it, charts !!!

(But seriously .. is he good? And I do mean people who have watched him & not just read a hipster article on twitter or watched a YouTube comp … who is the true Bundesliga aficionado on here?)

I think Liverpool were sniffing around him, interested to know why they didn't press go at that price point though

Chelsea have held talks with Southampton over a potential deal for their former right-back Tino Livramento, 20. Southampton value the England Under-21s defender, who is also being chased by Newcastle, at £38m. (Mail)

Liverpool have moved ahead of Chelsea in the race to sign Belgium midfielder Romeo Lavia and are preparing an opening offer for the 19-year-old, who Southampton have valued at £50m. (Talksport)


Throw in JWP & it’s surprising the saints haven’t been raided. Usually by Liverpool.

I wonder where Bella-Kotchap will end up (has a 25m release clause).

Struggle to see how we've done anything wrong, the player has gone through CAS to affirm that he has the right to cancel his contract, if anyone owes Shakhtar money it's FIFA, who made all these rulings with regards to Ukraine in the first place. The player shouldn't be a pariah in world football for not wanting to play in an active warzone.

Spurs haven't legally done anything wrong but morally, yes. As I said, Shakhtar is experience extreme hardship right now and on top of that any club can cherry pic their best players and have them for free. Imagine that happening to "your" club!
Spurs being one of the richest clubs in the world, Levy could easily afford to pay them a decent compensation, which they deserve.

To listen to Shakhtar, you’d think he came through their academy and they deserved a fee for developing him. He went there at 20.
