How Dry should our Powder be?

I think now they have bought Solanke that the only incomings will be loans if available. It will be last minute and will depend on availability but with our lack of availability for non home grown players in Europe may only be registered for domestic matches.
Why?

We've spent about 110m and will make about 70m in sales and have taken a massive chunk off the wage bill.

There is no excuse for not bringing in more.
 
Yeah makes a complete mockery of those on here that say things like "Why would a good LB come to be understudy to Udogie!!".

They somehow convinced Neto he would play ahead of Palmer, Madueke, Mudryk etc.

Money talks.
If you pay someone enough they’ll come despite however many good players there are in their position. The difference with us is if we’re looking for a good young player to come in and deputise for Udogie, Levy will only pay him the wages he thinks a young squad player should receive - ie - not much.
 
I’d be hesitant to say that no press links = no transfer movement, of course… but yeah, to me it seems unlikely that we see any players actually be brought in this week pre Leicester.

I think we are still going to make one last move for Eze, which will of course fail, predictably. Ange will say something like “there will be movement” in a presser.

My prediction is that we get a winger name later this month, likely after Leicester, but just a name, and probably that saga lasts until around deadline day. Possibly go in for an LB.

But yeah, it’s clear that Neto was the one, and we’re now up a creek without a paddle in terms of finding a first team quality winger.
even thou its likely Neto was the one , if the club wanted him they would've got it done , they know the stakes involved
 
Manuel Locatelli 🤔

Get agent Paratici on the case, just the type of player we need.

Whilst we've probably dillied and dallied too long, Mendes is a cunt and probably got a bigger fee than we'd have paid, on paper Chelsea are the "bigger" club and Neto has more cash per week and security.

If we'd have acted sooner, Mendez would have limped him sooner. Sometimes we can't compete, even is we *could* do more and do it quickly.
 
Manuel Locatelli 🤔

Italy and Juve reject = Spurs dream.

Yeah yeah yeah I know, Kulu and Roddy.
