Genoa need money I think
Was hardly desperate - but I take your point -
Another one who can play full back as well as centre back. Quick player who’s just had a decent season at Genoa. Early 20s I think. Would be back up as nowhere near the level of VDV and Cuti.
Noticed him to be fair when watching Spence but nothing stand out about him
Probably agreement. I remember Atalanta also signed Romero off Juventus the exact same summer we signed him.
Yeah will probably just try and flip him for profit maybe.
The good thing with the Werner loan is he won't clutter the squad if we don't want him at the end of the season.
Obviously Ange did want to see more of him, but we shouldn't end up in a position like we are in with Ndombele, Gil, Lo Celso and many more previously where we simply can't shift them.
The getting rid of him part is already dealt with. No 3-5 years of salary obligations. If it were allowed, having players on 1 year contracts with exponential optional extensions would justify paying much higher wages.
Hi
Honest John
hope you're doing well fella.
As this is the transfer window, and you have strong opinions on our transfer business, can you elaborate on who you think the club should sign this summer to improve the first team? Genuinely interested in your expert views.
Cheers mate

It had cheap, opportunistic Levy punt written all over it
I don't claim to have expert views. I just go by the evidence of the past 47 ENIC transfer windows that yielded 1 league cup .Hi

I'll rate each signing as we make it, and give my overall verdict at the end, if that's OK?....Fella?
Which usually turns out to be spot on
One signing so far. Werner....
Uncle John's verdict : Cheap opportunistic punt that wouldn't have been entertained by any other Big 6 Club or any club that's serious about winning.

Thanks John.
So no suggestions of your own to make then on who the club could/should sign that would satisfy you that the club is 'serious about winning'?
No worries matey, just thought I'd ask.
Your welcome. Any time.Thanks John.

Like I said, I'm no expert, unlike yourself, perhaps.
I don't spend endless hours watching various matches from distant leagues around Europe.
My football passion is limited to and exclusively Spurs.
When we're strongly linked with a player, I'll research his credentials, but that's about as far as my non Spurs interest goes.
Sorry if that disappoints you, my friend

Out of interest though.....Do you think ENIC are serious about winning? Rather than purely financialThanks John.

If so, why do you think they consistently fail so miserably?
Not being funny, but I'm always open to hearing alternative views. Maybe I've been missing something so please, go for it.....

I don't think Gallagher is at all the upgrade some think on Sarr. I have said this before but I've become completely convinced of it, having looked at a deep dive on our centerbacks. Systems make players, what "Angeball" is asking of his hybrid 6/8's his centerbacks and inverted fullbacks I honestly believe is making them on occasion look poorer than they are. When it works and all first eleven players are fit great it can be devastating, but I genuinely fear Gallagher asked to do what Sarr has been forced to, fairs even worse .
It's why a list of the leagues best centerbacks features VDV and Romero but we concededthe same amount of goals as Fulham in 13th and ten more than Everton in 15th. 50 million pounds (to Chelsea!!) to find out the system exposes Gallagher and limits him in just the same way is a bonkers risk. But my honest feeling is that's exactly what will happen. I think we have a real structural issue beyond who we buy.
I’ll make an assessment over the summer and get back to you at the end of the transfer window if that’s ok

OK so you actually think its a cheap punt and not an expensive one in terms of wages that will affect our other business as others have pointed out?
what are the odds that these will be the next set of player links for us...
Gallagher, Bailey, Isak, Myolenko , Murillo , Drewsbury-Hall
We should offer 80 million to Newcastle for Isak just to upset that Fish character.
Weve pretty much been linked with a player from every one of those clubs bar Newcastle over the last few months anyway.
Chalobah and Gallagher from Chelsea
Ramsey from Aston Villa
Onana from Everton
Murillo, Gibbs-White and Hudson Odoi from Forest
Dewsbury-Hall from Leicester
