Yeah. Tomori is not a perfect defender but he works for what we need. And as you said, we are not in a position to exactly be picky.Tomori is the kind of sensible signing we need. Will allow us to rotate again and get defenders back fit. We really can’t afford to be picky with the situation we’re in.
Looks like this one is happening, really hope I’m wrong about him..

This Sissoko erasure will not be tolerated. He may have sometimes been shit, but by god he had a great attitude and always worked his socks offIs Hugo the only French player who we’ve signed that hasn’t been a moody fucker? Dalmat, ndombele, the n’signings. They all just seem unhappy. Feels like a bit of a red flag to me. This guy wants out of one of the biggest clubs on the planet rather than bide his time for his chance.
£50 million too and apparently he’d only ever started 11 matches. Make it make sense.
Would be a welcome additional to our injury prone team.
But those two things, which I agree are things he’s guilty of, are very different from putting in “fake” bids for players he doesn’t intend to sign. If it is a PR stunt, it’d be about as effective as Pizza Express making an advert with Prince Andrew.I'll break it down for you.
The illusion of ambition is making a big managerial signing like a Mourinho or a Conte. To make the fans think that the club is ambitious, and then failing long term to back either man.
Its signing a high profile sought after young lad (still on low wages) and saying "look we are ambitious"
Its doing the bare minimum to keep people from dragging you out from behind the curtain and recognising you are a fake, a charlatan. You aren't a wizard. You are a snake oil salesman.
He won't get a bigger paycheck in his life. He's got a super agent. The CL goals also hyped him up.
He's fast and can pass pretty well. He just happens to have some of the Sanchez oopsie gene in him.Can someone who watches more Tomori more than I have convince me that he’s not quite shit..?
Do you watch Tomori play in the last two years? He is disaster. Incredibile number of mistakes. And he can't pass the ball. 30m for Tomori is a robbery.
If he wanted to play in the championship next season he could just stay where he is!Seems to have gone quiet on dibling, maybe he turned us down as well!

He's been awful the last 18 months, no surprises we're linked to him now.
He had a good year when Milan won the league. But then, a total disaster. And this year he lost his place to Gabbia (an average defender).Tomori started when they won Serie A recently no? Not sure what’s happened to him since. Still quite young for a CB. Good pace. Can’t say I’ve ever focused on him in the few Milan games I’ve seen over the years.
There were plenty of big clubs after him...Chelsea, Real Madrid............West Ham.He won't get a bigger paycheck in his life. He's got a super agent. The CL goals also hyped him up.
He's been fucking shit, fell off a mountain side in terms of his form and we're here now trying to pretend it's 2022 again.Milan supporter who I trust said he was incredible when they won the league but the last 2 coaches have been a terrible fit for him and messed with his confidence.
Coming back home and new scenery could easily bring the same player back. We need some experience back there and 30m for a HG CB is smart business.
Kulu is literally our best player right now, and for a while before Bentancur got the first bad injury he was our second best player after Harry Kane. This is a bad take.Seems to be a common thing with us now .. target out of favour players at big clubs. It didn’t go terribly with Kulu and Bentancur but nor did it really elevate us.
Milan are a name but not a very good team so if they’re happy to let go on the cheap it’s a bit of a red flag.
Scarlett is the attacking addition for the window
This is self sabotage, I am convinced
