I’m of the opinion that we should be targeting Lacroix from Crystal Palace instead of Van Hecke.
It would bring a lovely balance to the back 4, and we can play Van De Ven LB:
Porro (passer)
Lacroix (Athlete)
Senesi (passer)
Van de Ven (athlete)
Flexible & Versatile, whilst both sides are taken care of in terms of build up.

Yup. Brighton know how much De Zerbi wants Van Hecke. They know the fuss he will make if Spurs back out. They have the leverage and Spurs probably just have to pay up.
It’s one of those transfers like Van Dijk to Liverpool. If you want the player enough, that’s more important than the money
Age, wages, fee and a disruptive attitude that stunk the place out at Yanited making him captain of the bomb
squad.It’s really slim picking and the grass always seems greener.
IMO it’s either a loan move for Endrick, where you address the situation next summer, or Nicholas Jackson.
I’m pretty sure than everyone else is a step sideways from Richarlison and Solanke.
Richarlison has to go.
He's a fucking donkey. I'd sooner pull a striker's name out of a tombola.
He also can hardly run anymore. The guy moves like a tectonic plate.
We will see.But...... things are different now?
We're serious.
Aren't we?
Depends on what Van Hecke wants. If he only wants Spurs it lessens the strength of Brighton’s hand.
He also has a year left so Brighton can posture as much as they want, are they willing to let his value plummet in September?
You haven't watched Rashford in a United shirt for a while, have you?
He’s a terrible footballer and all his athleticism has gone - yet he still reached double figures (no pens) on the least creative team in the league.
Ideally I’d keep Richy in a backup role and take the risk of selling Solanke, who whilst is a far better footballer, is just never there to sniff out chances.
You keep him you have to offer him a new deal which would be a disastrous idea. His physicality is not gonna get better. If anything he looks a candidate for a hip replacement in the next couple of years.
They have to think how much fuss Van Hecke will make if we back out as well, it cuts both ways. Do they want a season with a player who wants to be somewhere else anchoring their defence?
Why would he make a fuss? Hes got 1 year on his deal, he will wait it out and go where he wants on a free.
Has a free kick in him as well. Good weapon to have.
£50M seems a lot doesn't it?
Guehi went for 20 with a year left.
Rolling 1 year contract.
Fit/available for X percentage of season, automatically renews.
Gives both parties an easy way out.
He's useful. Unlike many other players we have.
If of course he wants out, let him go without a fight.
