Y’all need to chill. If they are this far in negotiation it’s happening. They are just haggling over add ons.

As I read it the purported deal is a loan with an option.Seems dangerously high. Not sure we'd be able to unload him at those wages if it doesn't work out.
We don't want another ndombele situation on our hands. I could very well see Adam turning out to be just a squad player (albeit a good one). Is 120 not too much for that?
I would fully expect you would be leading the chorus of boos if he signed to Liverpool on £200k pw and not us, demanding we just "get the fucking thing done cheapskate cunts". or "and that's why we never compete with *insert name of club*120 k lol a week
good lord
not at all just silly money for a player with average statsI would fully expect you would be leading the chorus of boos if he signed to Liverpool on £200k pw and not us, demanding we just "get the fucking thing done cheapskate cunts". or "and that's why we never compete with *insert name of club*
I think that's how it works right?
I too don't rate him highly (he's a unique beast of a player that's fun to watch, whilst also frustrating the hell out of me. A very similar player is Saint-Maximin but he is the real deal, does all the dribbles but delivers and holds the ball up and brings others into play).not at all just silly money for a player with average stats
same with sissoko
I do know what you mean. Don't get me wrong, I've wanted him since last summer, I personally think that he would give us something very different, get us up the pitch in tougher games, and effectively create space for Kane and co to operate, plus at only c£20m it seems a gamble worth taking as if it doesn't pay off then you could probably sell him on in a couple of years without a huge loss - however £120k wages might make that more difficult... and it does seem a lot for him if he ends up as a squad player...Seems dangerously high.

I've not read this yet myself as I'm at work, so it might just be a load of rubbish, but here's an article talking about Conte using Traore down the middle rather than solely wide...I still think there's a possibility to play him as an alt. to PEH as a more creative outlet through the middle...
Think about him taking a pass from Skipp, running through the middle at terrified defenders, and 'all' he has to do is find Son or Kane with a short pass... if he's SO bad at crossing, then negate the need for even having to by playing him in the middle!!
Just my two'penn'eth!
He'll be played at RWB won't he?!
Problem with Lamptey isn't just the cost, but the injury record given the cost. Of course we'd all love Lamptey if he starts every game and is brilliant, but if we pay £50m for him then he turns out to be injured all the time (think GLC, Sess, Lamela sadly a lot of his Spurs career, there are so many others, hopefully Romero won't join that group...) then the fans would all be saying "Our scouts are terrible, they saw this guy's injury record at such a young age and were still stupid enough to pay so much money for him". It's all very easy in hindsight, but getting it right before it happens is so much more difficult...My concern is Adam is a Levy bargain purchase, vs Conte's real ask of Lamptey.
I hope I'm wrong. But we've been here before.
Given our push for him at an even higher price point in the summer, I think this is clearly a player Paratici covets.My concern is Adam is a Levy bargain purchase, vs Conte's real ask of Lamptey.

Adama is a far better dribbler than sissoko. But yes, I agree.You are describing Sissokko. Just running through the middle, with no ability to pass or cross.
