Maybe its PTSD from the MGW saga but I just can't help but feel something will go wrong on this Eze deal.

Its all there. It should be an open goal. Just something doesn't feel right.

It’s part of our history but I don’t expect it to fail. Levy knows he is in for a rough ride if he can’t get the Eze and Savinho deals over the line, our attack is unacceptable for a CL team and this fixes it mostly.

End of the day most fans simply want the club to have a competitive team particularly when we pay the most money along with the goons. A deal for Eze along with Salvinho and the pressure is all with the manager, if Levy/board fuck up and can’t agree a fee the pressure goes back on Levy/board.

I expect both deals to be drawn out but barring Chelsea or Liverpool or someone jumping in I sort of think it will happen.

He would trade a bit of fan backlash for a week, over having to lose a game of brinkmanship with a peer and being forced to spend a million more
 
Liverpool are getting another defender so I guess we’ll have to take Guehi.

Tbh if Guehi still hasn’t joined Liverpool in the final days of the window, we would be fools not to try and get him.

He would tick so many boxes and Palace want to sell.
 
Still find its strange that there are virtually no rumours of interest from other clubs in
Bissouma (maybe Juventus or West Ham ?)
Solomon (maybe Leeds ?)
Gil

Might get £40m or so for the 3 players, helps get in a good player we want ?
 
Palace might be keen to sell / start a bidding war but if Guehi only wants Liverpool he won't sign for us and can go there on a free in a year....

CB is the one area we have better than Liverpool. VVD is great but starting to decline, Konate is decentish but wants out and is not as good as Ghuei so Ghuei will take his place.

We have Romero VDV who are both as good as Ghuei if not better plus Danso who is pretty fucking good. We need a player who can live with being second to VDV, can play left side LCB and LB. A sort of better Davies. Any player looking at us knows we have two top draw CB’s and a very good back up.
 
Among other problems Solomon and Gil are both currently injured.

Standard seems to think that Solomon might be fit enough to move but Leeds exploring other players.

Bissouma was attracting Mourhino attention in Turkey, Wham allegedly interested and Juventus ...... but nobody seems to be seriously interested enough to be talking transfer fees or wages ......... maybe baloons put them off ?!

Whereas Liverpool have an army platoon of top class creative attackers and we have nothing.

Not rocket science why Guehi wants Liverpool and Eze wants Spurs.

No one is taking on the grenade that is Solomon.

Wouldn't be surprised if there was a mutual termination after the window of he can't get sold. Needs gone.
