What about Bakayoko instead of Dibling?
No the cash will net off which makes this deal easier for us to do.
well yeh great that would be lovely.
All of them are squad players though. Tel is relatively unproven. Dibling is a talented boy but very much one for the future. Tomori is decent. I do like Gomes for England as I feel like his strengths are something the national team has been missing, but remains to be seen how he would cope with the Premier League.
I suppose you're never going to make major signings in the January window.
It is a different era; but the kind of sales we're talking about should really only be necessary for clubs with shit revenue levels (Villa, Forest) or that have burned a whole fuckload of cash on duds (Chavs).
...........Clubs like us, Arse, Liverpool and defo Man U should be able to keep that from being necessary by selling numerous lesser academy players instead.
That's a strawman mate (as far as majority opinion is/was).....
The only accepted comfort about Kane was his age............... If you'd have mentioned PSR that summer you'd have been jumped on by a majority of people here and rabidly so by an obvious list of names.
Agree. While he has loads of potential, he hasn't produced anything to date in his career. I actually want to go the loan route first for 18 months to see if he can adapt to EPL before paying a large outlay.
With how skint Levy is with available money for transfers, we can't afford to bring in the wrong players.
I think 40m euros is a more fair price than 60m. But the club don't have the time to negotiate and need badly to get players in.
On Dibling, really surprised he is fit again. I thought he was out to March? Buoyed at the possibility of also bringing him in now and being able to play straight away.
We've scored a fair few goals but our attack is littered with inconsistent players so we are as likely to put 3 past a team as to have a 0.2 xG.long term successor to Son i guess is the thought process, but 50 million on a beast of a DM would actually be more useful to us. Scoring isn't much of an issue for us at all.
Bentancur and Bissouma in that role...
Johnson, Son, Werner are inconsistent and/or generally poor.
Richy has one leg. Solanke and Odobert are crocked. Moore is 17.
We desperately need attacking reinforcements.
Would be great squad building even if it's two in now and two in the summer.
Tel, Dibling, Moore, Odobert... all of a sudden you actually have threat from wide areas.
Squad players?
You are either massively underrating those names or massively overrating our current squad. Probably both.
Who cares...... I thought people wanted signings rather than accounting anecdotes and spreadsheet glory?
I'm not sure that is wholly true
Carrick said he wanted a move to ManU (only 12 months or so after we rescued him from Wham bench) so we accepted the situation and sold him for £17m and invested £11m in Berbatov
Sadly Berbatov was tapped up by ManU and we couldn't persuade him to stay so we sold him for £30m ..... big problem was sourcing a replacement.
But I think its probably more accurate to call it 'Player trading' rather than 'selling club' as we did actually increase the quality of our overall squad via these sales as we did re-invest in the squad and did reasonably well out of it ....... although I'd have loved to have seen Carrick and Berbatov play in the same Spurs side
It’s our level mate at the moment.
At least we will have cover for Solanke and Richy, a wide player that can actually attack the full back and create space, a proper genuine back up for Van Der Ven and a midfielder who is top quality at passing.
Yeah, I agree we desperately need more attacking options, and I do also think that a gigantic problem of our attack is our midfield. We don't have a consistently dominant presence in midfield so our defense is consistently under too much pressure, and offensively they just aren't getting the support and service to be successful.
Feels like a tautology… I mean, either way the Kane money is an asset on our balance sheet, whether we have received it or not yet is meaningless, as it’s guaranteed cash inflow. Not sure what O’Keefe’s point is.
+ Kinsky
All in Jan? You're setting yourself up for disappointment mate......
FWIW; CB isn't urgent with VDV & Davies back.

Neither. None of them are likely to improve us much alone. They would make the squad stronger but none of them would make me think they're going to improve the starting 11 as of right now.

I think B and B are in the folder marked 'Summer squad evaluation and potential sale'
