Wasn’t it Forest who brought the Palace/Lyon affair up? They benefit.

You're supposed to ask for permission first and a lot of clubs still follow that old process, despite agents being hyenas. Either the other club tells you to fuck off (that's when the interested buyer will sometimes tell their target to agitate for a move) or they'll give you the go ahead, then you negotiate with the player and his reps and when you got their green light, you talk numbers with the selling club. But permission must be given beforehand, not having the whole deal done & dusted with the seller.
I don't think it works that way when there's a selling clause. You meet it, they're fucked. But they can play hard ball and that was to be expected from that Greek prick.
I was on a cross trainer sweating my bollocks off.
Sue me.
Exactly. Everyone knows Forest's GOAT is Andy Reid.
I completely understand and I think most spurs fans are on the same page with regards to most of the points u made above. Just a few points/thoughts.....
1) Rome wasn't built in a day, It will take time to get all the pieces we need. Cm we may have to wait out, we have 2 extremely good youngsters and benrancut and MGW.
2) GK. I can see Kinsky taking the no1 position real soon. He has a few things to work on but he's has great distribution. Vic I expect to get a decent price for for from an Italian club maybe.
3) Cb's we may have to be patient with. I rate phillips extremely high and we have vusko too. We will also have to see qhat kind of recovery dragusin makes. This is probably going to be a 'make do' situation for this coming season, time will tell.
4) Robinson is a great choice just depends on the price. Udogie is a monster when he's right he just needs structure and guidance just like the rest of the younger players. We forget that when we sign these young players that they are still developing and learning and not the finished product but instead in need of that final bit of work to get there. Hate would be a great choice, can play lb and lcb.
5) Dom will be our no1 for another season at least. If the team does brilliant and outgrows his ability then we may change but he's good enough imo for a top 4 spot. The guy needs service from the team in return for his incredible hard work.
Lastly I think we have to be careful with our thinking here. I get the feeling that frank is the type of manager that will only make 2 or 3 changes Maximum per game and not 6 or 7. This means that although everyone will get opportunities it will be difficult to keep everyone happy and this is part of the job managing a top team.

Edit. And just on the squad we have,
Pre window - 6th-10th
Currently including Kudos and MGW - 4th-7th
If we get a cm/dm of similar quality to what we've bought so far -3rd-6th
Give them an extra 3 mil + Josh Onomah and be done with it.
It's the first time I'm more relieved Levy's on our side and not that fat souvlaki!!
Players aren't free to talk to other clubs if they're still under contract.
And the 25/26 premiership award for biggest dummy spit goes to….,,,,
You'd have thought he'd have been quite content with today's outcome, rather than waste time pulling a hissy fit at us!!
Agreed. Really seems to have gone by the wayside
Until a case like forest where they are really pissed about it and might use it as recourse
We do need more, but I think if we add one or two more, that’s about right. Anymore than that into the first team and we’ll struggle to settle everyone.
You remember it was always during internationals
Is Stiller a DM?
Persactly as I read it.
10-15 mil + Richy
He was good, pretty good even...but nowhere near elite.
Exactly.
I feel likewise about two of your uber favourites.
I agree. Agoume looks good but its a big ask for him to step up also. I think frank really rates bents and sees grays big potential so we may sit tight for a season on cm.
Looking at the makeup of the cm area we have I think a pure destroyer is what's needed. Somebody who's absolute main focus is defensively and give the attackers the freedom play. So much more baleba than Wharton. Wharton is brilliant but would just leave us lacking in stopping other teams. Hjulmund I like too.
If we really can't stretch that far that just get Luiz for his experience whilst archie learns the no6 ropes and blossoms.
20 unfunny attempts but considering today’s happenings you have at last succeeded.
The only one we can't lose is Micky.Teams need 15 starting 11 players. Minimum. Games changed. players getting hooked at 60 minutes doesn't mean they've played badly, just good to give them half our to cool down properly and be ready for the next game.
£20-£25m
He's 29 soon and 1 year on his contract. He's not Harry Kane. If he holds out until January he's into the low teens IMO.
I was thinking yesterday that we're in a position where I'm not sure we get weaker by letting anyone go tbh. I doubt Romero goes now, but if he did, it would be enough money to replace him and balance the books IMO. Literally anyone can go IMO and I doubt many fans would be upset. We don't have a Berbatov, Modric, Bale or Kane to "lose"
