Two seventeenth place finishes, escaping relegation on the last day of the season, i don't know what fans in here expect from the transfer window, but no top tier player is heading to us next season.

Deluded to think otherwise.

Players like Savinho and Summerville are about right for us at the moment, and would improve the squad.

And that might be right.

I think the question is how true the rumours are on the one hand, and whether the club are also working in that lower expectation.

None of us really know at the present time, but the nature and calibre of players or the strongest evidenced links may offer us some clues.

This is sadly true. There’s a real lack of quality around in the market as it is, and the type of quality we need we simply aren’t able to sign because other clubs want them. Unfortunately it means unless we are unlucky or creative, we will have to settle for mediocre

Which is why we really need to somehow get deals done for players like MGW. Proven top PL players. Because we won’t be able to sign the likes of Rodger’s or Kroupi when they have the scum after them

could do without spaffing cash on another forward who looks ok in Serie but awful in the PL, though. Would be better spending our money on one player than doing that, if it's the only option. A season of Lanks/Melia is preferable to another waster on high wages with low motivation

Something stinks with our recruitment , still linked with the same players as previous managers , u can’t tell me Savinho is an upgrade at £50m , scored 2 goals in 2 seasons . I’m even more concerned if de zerbi wants him .

Limited appearances, most from the bench 5 in 39 last season, and 2 in 45 the season before.

If De Zerbi wants him then I believe that he see's what potential he has, and maybe can take the player to the next level.

Some may say too high a risk, but I would ask who realistically can we attract given our terrible last two seasons.

I am not aware when Odobert, Kudus or Kulu are due back so we do need a players in those positions and Savinho can play both left and right wing.

Fifty million seems a little high bit didn't we pay over forty for Tel?
 
If the Davies thing is true I just don't get it on any level. He barely saw the pitch when we had Europe and we're supposedly buying a veteran LB and a LCB which means he's 3rd choice at best in any position. The only way he gets more than a handful of minutes is if we have yet another injurypocalpyse.

I'm sure RDZ likes his presence and leadership around the squad, and to keep standards up in training or whatever, but are we seriously gonna pay PL wages just for that? Not worth it.

Doesn't make sense to me unless they're seriously worried about Udogie's fitness and feel we need extra cover while we build him up. But couldn't Spence/VdV cover in that case anyway?

I think Paratici is still heavily involved in our transfer dealings. Someone high up at the club is mesmerized by ol' Fab and turn to him for advice and suggestions

Not sure about that, Fab was a Levy man and the kids binned him off for Vinai and Lange.
Fab wanted more control but Vinai, of course, backed Lange and so Fab left after just a few months.

Paratici wanted rid of Frank in December but Frank wanted to "trust the process" and Vinai, the gooner simp, allowed Frank to take the lead.

The kids, maybe understandably as they were new to the job, backed their CEO and that's why we are where we are.

I doubt Paratici really wants anything to do with this club anymore because his main supporter has gone and they shat on him and his experience for two clueless wasters.

Yeah, Paratici openly shat on the Spurs leadership when he moved to Fiorentina. Clearly thinks Vinai & co are a bunch of mugs.

While I'm sure he'd answer the phone to Lange or whoever - networking and schmoozing are his stock in trade - I think the consultancy days are very much over. Especially since he's actually got a proper full time gig again.
