We need a better squad.
It really is this simple.
Great player with a star quality on and off the pitch, London lad, keen on the move, can be had for a reasonable price in this market, prime age, immediately elevates the team, just do it, this is as low-risk as a move in that price point can possibly be.
Much like with Maddison I feel like Eze would seem like he's spent a decade at Spurs within like two months. Right player right club right time.
Solanke had an anomaly season for Bournemouth the season before last scoring 19.
He’s a 10ish PL goal a season striker that no team is ever really going to fear, and considering we paid 65 million for him I would consider that a relatively poor investment.
Gyokeres has scored 97 goals in 102 games for Sporting. Including 11 goals in 17 Champions League games. Do you realise how insane that is? To compare him to Soldado Vinicius and Vincent Janssen is just pure ignorance. He is on a totally different level to them.
The reason teams are reluctant to pull the trigger is because of his age, which is understandable considering what Sporting want for him. But his quality is absolutely undoubted.
Represented by CA Base (or whatever they're called) as well
The feeling was he wouldn't be fit again before his contract ended and as severe as it was; likely that he'd never play a good level again.....
Even he didnt think so. That move to H.Split was meant to be his retirement 'tour'.

I said arguably, and I think considering his numbers over the past 2 seasons (which includes Champions League) he has to be in the discussion.
The Portuguese league hasn’t seen a striker like him since Falcao, and many would have put him in the discussion of one of the best in Europe at Porto.
Also I would argue about teams regretting paying 60 million for him.
We paid 65 mil for Dominic Solanke who score 9 PL goals, if you think Gyokores wouldn’t match them numbers you’re kidding yourself.
Wharton is an exceptionally good DM.
Our Bozo board didn't want to part with the 20m Blackburn wanted when it was clear he was an exceptional talent. They were probably annoyed at their inability to act of the initial interest and decided to overspend on Gray so it didn't happen again. Sadly for them and us Gray is not and will never be the player Wharton has become.
We get into these situations constantly where we're sniffing around talent that won't sign new deals at their club and leverage is building to acquire them for a lower transfer fee than they're worth
But then PRECISELY BECAUSE their acquisition cost is going downward, that value is moving instead to bidding up the player's wages beyond what we're willing to pay
This is a transfer market tactic that has past its expiration date, we're wasting our time searching for deals this way.
A record label?
Yeah, we've seen that script play out too many times.
I remember the closet goooner here insisting thst Jesus & Zinchenko were the special sauce that would win AFC the league......
The same div properly gassed up Utds last summer haul of Ugarte, Zirkze & DeLigt as a difference maker.
Lets get Hugo Larsson instead
DeLigt has been been tossed around like a used hanky since he left Ajax.
Oh well

Modric is an outlier and a GOAT...... Pointless comparison.
10m for an agent to broker a free transfer?
Fuck off.... Get your player to pay your wages, fucking leech.
He is not DM though
